I'm going to Atlantic City tomorrow! I have never spent more than an hour in a casino. I only play slots, how much money should I expect to gamble with for a whole day?

Never take more money than you can afford to lose....I live in Vegas and you will never see me spend more than five dollars at a time.......Just remember Atlantic City like Las Vegas, wasn't built on winners.....The house is going to win more from you being there than you will by going....

Also a great tip. You know, I don't think I could live in Vegas. I would gamble too much. lol No self control.

oh my gosh Blog, you'd better leave all your extra cash at home just so you can be kept from spending it all, lol. It's not good to spend a WHOLE day in a casino, if you have no self-control!!! *snicker*

It's much easier to get into an addiction of gambling than any other so pace yourself....Always use the golden rule those places weren't built on Winners.....

Good luck, Have fun, and I hope you win BIG!! Its hard to tell how much money you need. Only take as much as you can afford to spend. Notice I did not say lose. When I go to the casino, I am spending money, having fun, not losing my money. If you go out to a movie, dinner and maybe have a drink, that can add up. You don't look at that as losing money, you spent the money on entertainment. Anyway you won't need much, you are going to WIN!!

I love Atlantic City. Don't spend the whole time gambling! There are so many great things to see and great stores out on the boardwalk.

I have to say what the others say. Only bring what you can afford to loose. Ofcourse the hope is to win, but if u donĀ“t it is better for u not to have brough money that u can not really afford to get rid of. It is easy to get stuck and gamlemore if u have money in your pocket. i know I have a tendensy of this *he he he* love the slots =) Godd Luck!

If you are only playing slots, you don't really need more than $25.00 if you go with the 1,2, and 5, cent ones. If you go with the $1.00 ones, you will need a few hundred for the day. Have fun, and bring extra just in case.

I hope you have a great time in Atlantic City. As for the amount,my suggestion would be to set yourself a limit(only bringing a certain amount for entertainment) and sticking to it.If/when you run out,enjoy the scenery.

That will depend a lot on how much addicted you can get into those little evil machines ;) I'd take something between 50 or 100 dollars with me, just by precaution, I guess I'm just a mild gambler when it comes to these sort of things. Now if you're feeling all shining, sparkling, and yadda yaadda, and feel that it is your lucky nightm better step up the parade and keep company to your man in a poker table match or give yourself a shot at your own luck and play some russian roulette. Anyway, most of all, go for the experience and remember that the money you might earn is just a little extra...have a good time and hope to see you back soon, MyLot isn't the same withouth your discussions! :)
