If you have ever been to a casino, you know how easy it is to get caught up in the moment and gamble away all of your money in a very short time. It does not matter whether you are in a big Las Vegas casino, a Riverboat casino in the Midwest or in front of a slot machine on an Indian Reservation. If you are going to play blackjack, slots or video poker for real money, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Money management is one of the most important aspects to understand when you are playing for real money at a casino. In its most simple form, you want to make sure you have enough money to play for as long a period of time as you intended to when you entered the casino. Many people make the mistake of taking $50 or $100 to the casino and say to themselves that they will play until they lose that money and then they will stop. Of course they will stop because all of their money is gone. The right attitude to take is a positive attitude. You might say you will play until you make 50% on your money or you will play 50 games for $1.00 each and then see how much money you have left before deciding whether to play any more.
Never play out of boredom or just to pass the time while you wait for your wife to come back from shopping. So many people throw away a few dollars here and a few dollars there just waiting in line for the $9.99 dinner buffet to open. That cheap buffet usually winds up costing them about $20.00. Casinos know human behavior very well and always place slot machines or video poker games near spots where people tend to congregate.
Blackjack is one of the few games in the casino where the odds are pretty even between the player and the house. If you are an experienced player and know all the proper strategies, you have about a 50-50 chance of coming out ahead. The professional card-counters can actually beat the house on a regular basis and many of them make a very good living just playing the game.
Knowing how to play for real money means knowing yourself. Some of us have a lot of will power and some of us do not. If you tend to fall in to the latter category and want to play until you have exhausted all of your money, then, you need to be extremely careful when playing at a casino. You may not be a compulsive gambler, but, you definitely have a problem managing your money.
When you sit down to a blackjack table and purchase your chips, something happens inside your brain. A pretty little chip does not look like real money. Psychologically, it is a lot easier to push over a small stack of chips than a $20 dollar bill for a bet on a single hand. For most players you should make the minimum bet and only increase it when you are dealt a really good hand or are attempting to double down or spit a pair of Aces. If you start winning and have built up a big pile of chips, take your original stake and put it aside. Play with the house's money and you may even make more. The worst that can happen is that you break even for the night.
One armed bandits or slot machines and video poker machines can be quite addictive. You can easily go through $100 in a dollar machine in a matter of minutes. When playing for real money on one of these machines, do not always make the maximum bet. If your last spin or two was a winner, reduce your next few bets to the minimum amount. Usually it can take 5-10 spins for you to win again. When the number of losing spins starts approaching 10, increase your wager to the maximum. If you hit, you will be greatly rewarded.
Finally, you should never go to a casino with money you can not afford to lose. If you need money to pay the rent, trying to win it playing video poker is a terrible idea. Most of the time, you will feel under pressure and have a miserable time playing what is supposed to be a fun and entertaining game. To make matters even worse, most of the time you will lose and be in a much worse position then when you started. If you are going to a casino, consider the amount you play the cost for a few hours worth of entertainment. Winning is great, but losing can really ruin your day.
