I don't really think much of casino's. I'm not an avid gambler. Ok let's face it, I don't gamble at all. I hope poeple don't get too kooked on gambling and don't want people to lose everything. Should only beused for fun and maybe make a few extra buck, but don't go losing all your life saving now.

I think it's a good past, to enjoy and have fun. Going to a casino doesn't mean that you have to go and gamble, there are lots of other things to enjoy there. Well if I was to play, I'd go for slot machines. I don't know much of casinoes, and I don't want to learn more of other games either!;)

I've only been to one casino and that was when I was in France a few years ago. I had a bucket of francs starting out and when I won the first time I quit as I didn't want to lose everything. I'm a mean sod! :D

Nah that's the smart way to do it. When I get ahead I end up losing it anyway. No so smart.

I haven't been to a casino yet, but it looks like fun to me. I can't wait to plan a trip to Vegas with my friends to experience the whole scene! I'm not a big gambler, but it seems like a fun time for a weekend or something.

I was a casino addict once. Id gamble whatever i have playing 'red or white' and 'big and small' ( i dont know if you guys have it in your country) there were times id go home penniless and very seldom did i win. Even if that was the case, that didnt stop me from going til i got a job. I still go from time to time cause i love the excitement and vibe. but now, i have a 3000 peso limit. once i lose, i go home.

That's a good idea, to have a spending limit for yourself. I haven't heard of those games btw, I guess we don't have them.

I like to vist a casino on occasion. I haven't been to one in over a year and half though. Last time I went it was Vegas!! (Everyone has to visit there at some point-it is really a neat place.) I played black jack, rush and roulette, and nickle slots. However, gambling always seems to cost me whatever I take with me. I can't afford to go but evet couple years.

We have a couple casinos around here, within 1 hour driving time, and I stay away from those. I by no means want to me an addictive gambler! I have been one, the closer to one to me, but it has been over 2 years since I have gone. When I went to visit a year and a half ago, I lost over 500 dollars....not good. I haven't been back to any casino since.

Yeah I can be to casinos in an hour or so, as well. I've got Atlantic City, and also now they're even having slot machines here in PA. It was really my boyfriend who got me started on going to them but it is dangerous. I try to think of what I could be buying for the money I'm wasting. LOL.

casinos.  Las Vegas.  Going to bet your money - casinos.  Las Vegas.  Going to bet your money

I won more than 5000.00 at the casino last year
I love going to the casinos. They are alot of fun. I have never been very good at it. I didnt know what I was doing at first. I watched people play to get the hang of it. I went to Las Vegas last year and it was the best time I have had. A bunch of people went and I ended up winning over 5000.00. It was amazing. I would love to go again. I ended up doing blackjack and slots.

I've been in them, but I don't enjoy them. I don't care for the noises and the tension i hear and feel. I also know where i could end up. Take care Tictac714.

I love to gamble! I don't spend a lot of money when we hit the casino though. Mayb $20 on slots and thats it. We used to go every year on my birthday until we moved. I live pretty close to Atlantic City now and I can't wait to go there. I think I may use the money I make online to go on a trip there.

The only time I visit a casino is in the summer. We have an annual exhibition called Capital Ex that comes in July and that is the only time I go. The very first time I played a slot I won $80. the most was about $360 but that was it. It's all downhill every summer since then. But I would only spend about $60 and that's it. Will never get addicted to gambling.

That's better than I ever did. I got about $100 out of a slot machine one time, that's it for me.

I don't like to go to casino cause I don't like to gamble. Even in my religion, gamble is forbidden. I think we will loose money more than we get on there. Well, it's just my opinion:)

I didn't know that some religions forbid gambling. I agree though, so far I have definitely LOST more money at casinos than I have gained.

I never play casino, but I have heard or it. I think if it play with money involvedm it is good way to excise people's intellecture, but people always wwat to warn money use it. it make the game go a wrong way. I never want to gamble, and it is illegal in my country.

NO kidding, it's illegal? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it's not legal in all the states here in the US...I'm in Pennsylvania and we always had to go to New Jersey to gamble. However it seems there are legalizing it here in Pennsylvania, which is sort of weird.

I'm not really a casino fan myself although I've been to some with friends. I like playing roulette. Talking of gambling, there are times when I play bingo in big malls just to kill time, I've won though many times.

Maybe not too much. I love restaurants in casinos.. they have all you can eat, and it's really cheap.

I am not a big fan of gambling even when coined as "just for fun" I've seen people gambling just for fun and getting way over what they planned. However I have a friend that loves to go to the casino and sometimes I go with her. I enjoy her company and that helps me pass the time. I don't find much interest into feeding a machine specially because that's your only input: putting the coin in . After that the machine does all by itself LOL I like to be able to have some input in what I do. Other games like card games and stuff are more expensive so I wouldn't play them either, although I would probably enjoy it a bit more since I would have some - small however - input, I could make choices and think about what I wanted to do. It's more of a challenge than just put coins on a machine. I know many people enjoy going to casinos, and many are able to gamble a bit responsibly and leave, but many can't. Me, I think I'm immune even when I go with my friend and she gives me some coins to play with I don't get too excited although it's fun when you win something, but I don't feel any special compulsion to continue.
