How to Win in a Casino

Twinkling lights, a surreal atmosphere, and a chance to win some money—gambling in a casino can be really fun! There are a few things you can do to help yourself have a more successful casino trip and hopefully leave with more money than you came with. For example, setting a budget for yourself, leaving while you’re ahead, and carefully choosing which games to play are all things that can bolster your winnings

Making a Game Plan

Practice different games before heading to the casinos. There are a lot of online programs that allow you to "gamble" without actually spending any money. Spend some time practicing the different games you’d like to play when you get to the casino. Common casino games are:

Set a budget for yourself before you head to the casino

Decide beforehand how much money you’re willing to spend, and assume that you aren’t going to win anything. If you can, bring a set amount of cash with you with the intention that once it’s gone for the day, you’ll leave the casino.

This helps you to win by reducing your chances of losing more and more money. Also, if you know you have a limited amount of funds, you’ll be more choosy when deciding which games to play.

If you’re going gambling for several days in a row, try putting your allotted gambling money into a separate envelope for each day—that way you won’t accidentally start using money that’s meant for the end of the week on a Monday!

Learn the layout of a casino by visiting during the day

Casinos are designed to be disorienting—there are no clocks, no windows, and the games are set into various labyrinth patterns so it’s easy to lose track of the time! Take a trip to the casino during the daytime and take a look around when you won’t be distracted by the hustle and bustle of nighttime gambling.

Stay hydrated and don't consume too much alcohol

You’re likely to spend more money and pay less attention to the games when you're drinking alcohol, which is easy to do if the casino you’re at offers free drinks. If you’re going to imbibe, try to pace yourself by having a glass of water between each alcoholic drink.

Keep track of the time by wearing a watch or setting a phone timer

The longer you stay at a casino, the higher the chances are that you’ll lose money—the odds are always in the house’s favor! So set a time limit for several hours, and after that time, call it quits. If you’ve won money, that’s great! If not, take a break and come back refreshed the next day.
