Casinos / Gambling: GAMBLING (SLOTS)
  • Tip Rating:
  • A Couple Of Tips On Slot Machines. 1) If You Plan On Spending A Decent Ammount Of Time At The Slots In A Particular Hotel Be Sure To Get A Players Card From The Casino Area Because You Can Build Up Your Complimentary Points Total The More You Play And Exchange Them For Many Things Including Free Food, Gifts, Line Passes, Room Upgrades And Even Free Nights. Some Hotels Are Owned By The Same Company For Example Bally's, Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Paris, And The Las Vegas Hilton Are Under The Same Ownership Which Means Any Slot Points You Gain At Any Of These Resorts Will Be Added Together And Can Be Redeemed When Your Ready. 2) Make Sure You Insert Your Card Into Every Machine You Play And Of Course Make Sure You Take It With You When You Leave Each Machine. 3) Never Ever Leave Your Machine If You Still Have Credits On It And If You Do Need To Leave For The Restroom Or Something Else Either Cash Out Or Ask An Attendant To Hold It For You Until You Return Which They Are More Than Happy To Do. If You Should Be Lucky Enough To Get A Big Win And Empty The Machine Of All Its Coins Which Will Then Need Refilling Again Do Not Leave Your Seat Because Someone Could Sit There And Claim Your Winnings So Wait Until You See An Attendant And Call Them Over Where They Will Assist You And Refill The Machine.

    Casinos / Gambling: GAMBLING (TABLE GAMES)
  • Tip Rating:
  • This Section Includes A Few Tips And Guidelines On How To Gamble In Vegas Without Losing A Fortune, And Ending Up Broke, And Miserable. 1) Set A Certain Ammount Of Money To Gamble For Any One Day And When Thats Gone, Leave And Do Something Else. There Are Numerous Things To Do And See Here So You Don't Need To Be Stuck In A Dark Smokey Noisy Casino All Day Long To Enjoy Yourself, Unless Your Winning Of Course..LoL. Remember You Are In Vegas To Have A Good Time And Losing More Than You Can Afford, Or All Of Your Bank Roll Before Your Vacation Is Over Is A Sure Way Of Ruining Your Trip. 2) If You Are New To Table Games Such As Blackjack, Roulette, Craps Etc Do A Little Research Before You Play For Real. There Are Lots Of Articles On The Internet Which Will Help You Understand These Games And Also Lots Of Sites You Can Actually Play For Fun To Get Accustomed To The Rules And Strategy, Which Will Help You When You Play For Real. Also The Dealers At Most Tables Are Use To Novices And Are More Than Willing To Help And Advise You, So Don't Be Affraid To Ask If Unsure Of Anything. 3) Be Aware Of The Table Minimums As They Vary From Casino To Casino And From Table To Table. Also They Increase Considerable When The Weekend Approaches Due To The Rise In Visitors That Flood Into Vegas Every Friday. I Sat Down At The Same Blackjack Table On A Friday Night That I Had Been Playing At Most Of The Week Only To Find That The Minimum Was Now $25.00 Instead Of The $5.00 I Had Been Playing Previously

    Its easy to lose big here. Every hotel has a casino and you have to walk through to get where you're going. I'm not a gambler, but I found myself many times wandering into a hotel by day to escape the heat and sitting at some machine or other. I lost quite a few quarters this way. All of them in fact.

    don't go there. Casinos are after your money and you never will outlast them but if you wanna have some fun, see shows, having a good meal, each of the Casinos have thousand things to offer for your money. sometimes it is just the heat of Vegas you want to escape so be prepared and be aware, have fun

    Now, there is a reason that Vegas is booming and that companies can build 15,000 room hotels with huge replicas of Venice, NY and Paris...and I'll tell you what, it's ain't LUCK. Luck is probably the most popular word in Vegas. Everybody tells you 'good luck' but the fact is, you are much more likely to have a little luck if you play the right games and actually learn how to play them properly. Vegas casino's make money by reserving a statistical advantage in each of the games, they offer. That means so long as people play, they are guaranteed a win. That's why they try to get you to come. All the shrimp cocktails, shows, rooms, tigers, girls etc. are there for one reason and one reason only...to get you to play. Now. Each game offers differing statistical advantages to you and each has arcane rules designed to shave a few fractions of a decimal point towards the casino's advantage. Roulette offers you the worst odds. Craps and Blackjacks offers the best if played correctly. They Key is to play correctly. I don't know craps, but black jack (21) has a basic strategy that Statistics professors have developed. For each combination of cards you hold and the dealer is showing, there is a perfect way to play which increases your chances. If you don't know these ways of playing called Basic Black jack Strategy, THEN DON'T PLAY! (unless of course you are not friends with Jackson, Grant & Franklin,) To learn about basic black jack strategy, check out the web. Practice on the web and then try your hand in Vegas.

    Some of what I am going to say may seem like common sense, but I find that some people lack in that area... 1. Keep your purse, wallet or fanny pack on you at all times. Do NOT sit it down anywhere. I usually carry a fanny pack, which is in your view and in your close personal space at all times. You would know if someone reached towards THAT area ;) 2. Keep a close eye on your chips at the tables. It would be very easy for someone to reach over and grab your chips while you are looking the other way, even for a moment. There are pros at this! 3. Don't flash around your winnings, and keep them low key. I personally do not carry chips in my hands, you risk dropping them or someone snatching them from your hands. I wouldn't brag about them either, you never know who may be in earshot... 4. If you win a large amount, ask the hotel if they offer safe deposit boxes. DO NOT leave large amounts of cash in your room! All is takes is one shady cleaning lady... Hope these help! Happy gambling and good luck!

    Casinos / Gambling: Gambling problem?
  • Tip Rating:
  • A buddy of mine just got back from Vegas and was showing me a brochure that's produced by the state. It's located, appropriately, at all the ATMs near the strip and gives helpful information for individuals who may have a gambling addiction (seriously!). Gambling can be addictive, so only bring money that you can afford to lose. Don't take out a second mortgage to finance your trip! Check out the website below for more details.

    While in LV we also went to one of the casinos and Cris was lucky enough to even win I think $200 *g* not the world, but we also didn't lose ;-) Anyway, there are a few things you should consider. I'd recommend you to set a budget limit and stick to it. Leave credit cards at home. There's a reason why casinos dont have clocks or windows and naturally they wanna keep you there long, make you forgetting the time, the longer you are there, the more you might lose. Take a break every now and then and 'refresh' your brain. Try to avoid alcohol.

    Working on the Strip, I have seen some pretty amazing and pathetic things, but the worst is seeing people throw everything away at the tables or in the slots... sometime to the point that they don't have cab fare to get back to the airport! Just watch yourself... you've worked hard for your money, and I'd rather see you throw it all away on booze.

    Casinos / Gambling: Win Your Money Back... NOT
  • Tip Rating:
  • You know you have heard it before, "I just lost $100, I have to get it back!" as they head to the ATM... Here is a system that has never failed me yet... Allot yourself a reasonable amount of money that you CAN afford to part with incase you are having an off night. Let's say $50. As I play and begin to profit, the original $50 in chips go into my pocket. If I am having a bad night, and loose my allotment, I am done for the night. I only play off the profitted chips. I have never lost more than my $50 gambling allowance in a night, and usually win ;)
