Set a budget

Decide how much you want to spend in advance. Treat this as part of your entertainment budget: money you’d spend on a night out, not expecting to bring it home.

Crossed out credit card

Bring the amount you plan to spend

These games are cash only, so plan around your budget, or use the on-site ATM if needed.

Trophy with a check mark

Set a win limit

It’s no fun to be up and then lose it all. When you’re winning, decide in advance when it’s time to walk away. For example, some players set this at the point when they double their money.
