Casino games are different than lottery. I sometimes play rulette online, but nothing else. I tend to think that math works better here. However I found out that online casinos set up their programs wisely, so they maximize the largest bet you can place, and at the same time they maximize the times an event can occur for their favor.

For example, you play black and red, and you always double to bring your loss back. The casino keeps throwing reds. However by the time you reach the maximum bet... [ More ]

Hint:

If you see a glass enclosed 5 dollar slot room void of any players for at least a half hour, then run in there and start playing. And always use machines that are the most visible to the people outside of the room.

More explanation upon request. (long story)...lol

Sounds like you and your dad gamble hoping to get lucky and win a life-changing amount of money rather than for entertainment. How many times have you heard of anyone spending $5-$20 at a casino and ending up a millionaire?

Playing casino games and playing the lotteries are both gambling but they are for a different type of gambler. The only thing you need to know to play a lottery game is the price of the ticket but unless you're just going to play the slots at a casino then you're going to... [ More ]

Glad to hear your Dad is doing better, Dollar419!

Personally, I'd stick with the lottery cuz when I get around all that booze and all them wimmins in a casino... well, you know how us hillbillies get in the big city. It's a recipe for disaster for a married stump jumper.

But then it might be ok for you.

Either way, I wish you the best

Hey Dollar,

Glad to hear your father is doing better.

I have played at several casinos in the US and Canada. Casino play is very different than lottery play even though they are both gambling.

It is much easier to win some money at a casino but most games are designed to only pay out small amounts. So even though the payout at many casino games and slot machines is around 90% (on average), because you will make several wagers in an evening, the 10% you lose on each bet adds up. Most peo...

My dad and I were considering cutting our lottery budget in half and try our luck at one of the indian casinos in CA because we aren't winning much with the games the CA Lottery is presently lately. We've entered the Fantasy 5 Bonus Bucks coupons and 2nd Chance Drawing with the non-winning scratchers and still nothiing, which is beginning to get a bit frustrating. At least if we were to go to the casino once or twice a month, we could get lucky, then again, we may not; it's all in the luck of dr... [ More ]
