I'm going to vegas in a few days. i have no gambling experience. i am not interested in learning any card games, just slots, craps and roulette. and i don't have lots of money to gamble with.

million.i'll be in vegas this weekend and will do some gambling for fun...and dont go expecting to win. slots you will lose 35% of what you play. table games is higher, craps and roulette the odds are worse. even if you play the penny and nickle slots you are betting several lines at a time and you are playing the same amount as the quarter and dollar machines sometimes. i normally play my and go home...sometimes i've gone as much as 0, but there is a reason residents of nv dont have to pay state sales or income tax. just go to have a good time, set aside a certain amount you can afford to lose and just have fun. dont expect to hit it big. its when you are having fun that you sometimes walk away 0 richer. high limit slots pay out more and more often. and up in the high limit rooms. get a players card no matter what. if you gamble a lot, you can earn comps...free buffet's etc. drinks are free on the casino floor, but the waitresses focus on the tables. its hard to get them to the slots and they take forever to come back. if you go to a bar that has video poker or a video machine, put a dollar in it. as long as you are gambling, its free. always tip! no matter where you are, tip a dollar or two or give them a chip. same goes for bellman, valet's and anyone who offers you a service. even the cage. when you cash in a voucher or exchange money, leave a tip. (i worked in the cage at a strip location...)tip the dealer when you leave the table as well. tip tip tip!!!again, just go to have fun. the odds are against you anyway. and stay with in your means. if you set aside 0, dont go beyond that, you'll be sure to lose. dont go expecting to hit the jackpot, because you more than likely wont. just have a good time and dont catch the fever. "good luck to you!"

Sure, the house odds are against you, but you can kill a lot of time without losing much money.Unless you're willing to lose significant amounts (hundreds of dollars), leave the craps, cards, etc. to other people to play. Just cruise the casino and enjoy watching the suckers lose their money.(It wasn't always this way -- 15 years ago you used to be able to play 25 cent craps, dime roulette, etc.)

dont go beyond your budget.
make sure you have enough for a bus ticket back to mom & dad's.
no joke

machines. Don't go with the attitude you are going to "hit it big".....play what you can afford and only what you can afford---and I hope you too walk away with a pleasant surprise!!!! Then if you do win, take a set amount and try the big buck machines, ha-ha you will be shooting for a chance to "hit it big" on their money!

If you have to skip paying a bill because you played the money away, you played too much money! (The game with the absolute worst odds is Keno.) Blackjack, statistcally has the best player odds. Just find low limit areas (I don't play more than quarter slots) and set yourself an amount of money to play and when that's gone, stop.

The rest of the games have worse odds. If you play slots, play ones in the best view of people. They have better odds than the ones tucked away in a corner.
