Once you’re in a casino approximately four hours, it’s trouble

I dont know the exact number - but it’s a lot less than 4 hours for engagement to turn profitable on average for a casino.

Thinking it’s just below 70 minutes on average - that’s the “target”. The point at which a player is generally profitable - but leaves a casino ready to return again with a formally positive opinion/impression.

It also allows the casino to service guest at lowest cost and save on having to increase staffing levels. Faster turnover - higher profit.

Casinos are built like mazes for a reason - they want you to stay - but the “easy” parts of maze are to “lead” you to the most profitable areas/machines. There is a reason video poker is harder to find in many places and the race book is buried in the back - while the flashy penny slot bonus games are right up front and high rollers section is immediately left on entry next to the food and beverage.

the longer you stay, the more likely you are to lose. i think that is the general message.

and if you make a nice hit for your specific bankroll, stop and go to the spa.
Stop win & stop loss need to be implemented before stepping foot in a casino.

And set a budget of X amount your willing to lose and leave your debit card at home
Yeah that would be your stop loss Bobby the amount willing to lose. Yes only bring cash to a casino it’s a cash business debit cards in a casino if you are gambling can be trouble.

Not to mention the ridiculous fees! I've seen places as high as $10.99 to get your own money!
I did laundry where I live at this little spanish joint laundromat the other day and needed cash to get coins and the ATM fees were .25 cents. I was astonished how low they were.

I've never heard of an ATM fee that low! Wow I wonder how they're actually making any money off of it. Nowadays out here at some of the laundromats you can actually just use your phone to pay for the services

Thick sexy latinas washing their g-strings in my neighborhood at the laundromat, it's a beautiful thing too bad most of them don't speak fluent English.
