What do you do to try to ensure you bring some money back with you? My brother always cashes out and saves the ticket for anything above $50, and takes that money home. Last time I went with him, he and his wife had over $600 in those saved tickets. That was from low rolling. (He and his wife also gamble "together" - two people, one machine. Drives me crazy, but that's another story. Lol). I have a friend who max bets when she's above whatever she put in the machine. Low rolls when she's under. I don't have anything I do yet, which is probably why I always leave my money at the casino!

Cash out Tito and put in wallet and usually cash em out next morning. I see some peeps who like to keep playing on same Tito all night of the don't loose makes it too easy to just play through it all. Especially if playing higb limit. Just my method to the madness.

I can't wait to see the responses as I haven't left a casino with money in over a year. Right now my only plan is staying out of the casino, but it's getting really hard and the itch is getting stronger.

I think I need to try your brother's method...maybe I'll come home with money. I too am looking forward to responses. Thanks for the topic.
Tuck a $20 bill somewhere and have some singles stashed to make sure we have something to tip the person that gets us at a cab when it is time to go home. Other than that the is no method to our madness. We just play until either the cash is gone or it is time to go home. :hopelessness:

I've typically played through but I think I'm going to start cashing out and see what happens.

Lol I do keep a separate stash of ones for tips, but at the end of my trip I have been known to put them in a machine.

Cash out my tito, give most to DH. Try getting that money back is next to impossible! HHH, he will even resort to lying if I really want money back! I've also found lots of alcohol causes stupidity on my part!

I do try to cash out if I get the TITO either doubled (if I started w/$100) or up to $100 if I started w/$20) but that doesn't always work because I put them back in if I run out of cash. I know some people will play on the same ticket rather than cash out when they've doubled or got to $500 or whatever, mostly out of reluctance to interrupt the rhythm of winning!
So basically, my only advice is to hit something decent and then run!

If I ever hit something decent, I'm cashing out and running fast! Who am I kidding, I'll be running to get a fresh cock and putting more money in the machine until it drains me. ;)

The only thing I do is if I get a really big ticket like 400+ I will cash it out and put some away. I find If I play on a big ticket I will bet more and play faster. If I have to put the money back in it's slows me down. Good Luck.

My only plan to not run out of money is to play a machine that is close to an ATM...

I do the daily envelope thing and keep the rest in the safe. I don't take the whole daily amount out of the envelope, just half. That forces me to walk back to the room to get more money out of
my daily allotment. Sometimes, I'm smart and stay in the room ha ha!

My method is no alcohol while slotting. Plenty of time to get liquored up when you're done gambling especially when you win and have something to celebrate. Remember it's up to you whether you stay in control of your wits.

Back when 30 cents was my max bet, I would break my BR into $5's, and cash out as soon as I had more than $10 in the machine. Now that my max bet is .75-1.25, I use $20's, but same principle, cashing out at $40 or more. I combine all my TITOS so when I cash out it's faster, and I try to hide the $100 bills in a pocket in my purse. Sometimes I actually forget about them!
Of course, this whole system only seems to work if I'm winning
(wonder why? !).
Nine times out of 10 I don't have cocks unless they're free, but I've noticed I do tend to play more recklessly the more I drink.

If I start with a $100 bill - I cash out if I double, but I don't leave the machine.. I just stick in another Hundo. I do put it all into one ticket. If I win anything big - I tell my husband (OK.. if I hit a handpay where I have to fess up due to the Tax Form). I don't have a daily envelope.. but I do not take all the money with me. I leave it in the room same as @Maurentina, so I have a break when I make the long walk to the room. I need to save my free play to the end.. so I have some cushion. Great Topic.

My system differs a little . i start out with 600.00 for the day so if im there for 4 days i try to have 4 X 600 . i dont all ways have that much but you do what ya can . So any ways depending on how mush of my 600 is left at the end of that day (lets say 300. ) the next day ill add 300 to it and start again . by the time we reach the last day i uasly have about half or a little less of my original BR . or more Witch is better right . my way of looking at it if i come home with most of my BR im a Winner.

I have my envelopes for everything. Slots,tips,food,etc. I never waiver there. I always cash out at some multiple of what I started with- if I put in 20 I cash out at 100,etc. I never put the TITOS back in. I cash them out right as I walk out the door and the cash goes right back in the gambling drawer at home. Sometimes I have none and that's sucks ! At least I came back from Vegas with enough to jump start my trip to Coushatta next week. I will have a drink or 2 but not too much while slotting. And I do notice my judgement starts to fail around midnight since I'm an early morning person. So I quit by then for sure.

I like the idea of walking back to the room!

I find I don't drink nearly as much as I would if I weren't gambling. :)

Saving the free play to the end, I may have to try that!

I like this idea. I tended to think of what I had left at the end of the day as "extra" for the next day.

Okay so there's something to cashing out at a certain amount. I tried it on my "night" trip and this is what I had left. $60-70 was my cash out number. Overall, with this and the cash I had left, I came home only losing $37. It did seem the slots we're looser in the middle of the night, and less crowded, but staying up all night and day and driving home with no sleep sucked. I'm too old for that now HHH. Thank you all for the tips!! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160216/d2f0be7206702a6efdab15c8be386ae1.jpg

When people say I gamble too much (seriously, I HATE that phrase), I tell them sometimes it costs less than dinner and a movie, and lasts longer, and I have more fun!
