Therefore, always be sure to read these rules to avoid any arguments or confusion. The rules are usually posted outside the establishment, or you can even ask an employee or a floor manager.

Bankroll is your friend

Whether you are going to a casino for a weekend trip or even for a day, managing your bankroll is essential if you don’t want to end up as one of those ill-fated characters in movies just like The Gambler, then it is important for you to think cautiously about how much you are going to bet. Setting a bankroll and sticking to it is the golden rule of gambling. 

Treat gambling, like every other expense in your life, just like you will never spend more on rent than you can afford to spend. It is not an effective form of making money. Gambling is a fun leisure activity. If you only have Rs. 20,000 to gamble, don't take your debit cards or credit cards with you into the casino. Do not even leave them in your car, either. Make it as hard as you possibly can to get more money. 

If you lose and wish you had more, give yourself a movement to realize what just happened: you just paid Rs. 20,000 (hopefully) for evening’s entertainment. Don't leave disheartened or frustrated. No casino gaming industry owes you anything more than the experience you are willing to pay for. They offer you reliable entertainment experience and not a guaranteed income. So, before walking into a casino floor, set a rule, i.e. when you have got X rupees you will quit. That could mean you lose everything that you took in or maybe if you doubled or tripled your money.

The drinks are not free

As a first-timer to a casino, I will give you a little tip: the casinos want you to do gambling under the influence. This means that when you are drunk, decision-making is one of the first things to be greatly hampered, and poor decisions mean more money for the house.

Don’t get me wrong - I am not suggesting that you need to avoid drinking completely, just be mindful how it might have a financial effect on you. You might be enjoying a lot, and also you have made some new friends, and drinks aren’t bad. As you are enjoying all those drinks, they keep on coming, that’s good, just make sure to consume them in a limit. As drinks reduce your inhibitions, therefore, any large intake can probably impair your ability to make the right decisions. Just as you should not drink and drive, similarly you should not drink and gamble. My advice? Start drinking once you are done with gambling in order to have the best outcome. 

Find a card room

By now you might have noticed that casinos have ample of table games to choose from craps, blackjack, roulette, poker, and so on. While most of these games do not deviate much from the regular games that you may have seen online, but at these tables, you still are battling with the casinos. If you want to play against the actual players and not the house, look for a card room. Don’t just sit down in a card room with an empty seat. Put your name down first on a waiting list and wait to be called until seats become available. Just be careful when choosing a table, as card rooms could be shark infested waters, and the experienced ones can quickly finish your entire bankroll.
