Emotional states:
Never gamble when you are angry or depressed. Emotional states such as anger and depression usually cloud a person’s judgment and impair his/her ability to play games properly. A person who is experiencing an intense emotional state usually lacks ability to think as clearly as someone who is not.
Don’t gamble alone:
In some way, it is better to visit a casino with friends or family members if you are planning on gambling. Friends and family members will usually tell you if you are spending too much, drinking too much or not playing properly. In very least, it is in everyone’s best interest to have a sober person in group who can safely drive everyone home.
Take frequent breaks:
As in any other activity be it reading, writing or playing computer games, one should always take frequent breaks to feel refreshed and alert. Although this may not apply to a person who places a few bets before leaving casino floor, it does apply to gambler who intends on spending a considerable amount of time betting in a casino.
Have fun:
Gambling should be viewed as a fun and exciting recreational activity as opposed to a means of making money. Even though most of us have heard of, or read about occasional gambler who won big jackpot that changed his/her life, this is usually not case for majority of players. Let’s face it. The glitz and glamour of casinos were not built on good fortune of winners. Therefore always play for fun and never for sole purpose of making money.
Avoid alcohol:
Never drink and gamble. Not only can alcohol impair one’s judgement, but it can also inflate one’s sense of self confidence to point where person gambles away money which he/she would never have gambled if he/she was sober. This is one of main reasons as to why some casinos offer free alcohol to their players.
Avoid distractions:
Distractions can come in many forms from occasional cellular phone ringing to sexy girl walking past table, and one should always be mentally prepared to ignore them in order to better focus on game. Additionally, loud sounds and flashing lights of a casino may look and sound very exciting, but they are not there to help you concentrate on game. Try not to become distracted.
By following these basic set of guidelines, one can enjoy his/her visit to a casino and have plenty of fun while minimizing risk of falling into any financial difficulties.
