"Here's an idea, why don't you give me half the money you were gonna bet, then we'll go out back, I'll kick ya in the nuts, and we'll call it a day?"

I started something new this year. $500. 00 for the day and 500.00 for the night. I play $1.00 VP at max = $5.00. If I get ahead, go to reels @ $10.00. Sometimes blazing sevens @ 3.00. If I am still ahead, will play video reels for the fun of bonus rounds.

If I am down, will play quarter VP or .50. Then go to safe and take out my 500.00 for the night.

My goal is to stay ahead and not hit up the safe.

The other thing I do is bring a "Do Not Touch" envelope. Usually 2000.00 and if I really bring it home, I consider the trip a win!

I, like everyone else break my $100's down. I think there is a reason when you go to a casino ATM or cash out a big TITO it gives you $100 bills- so you put them in the machine and lose them. I normally only put a $20 into a machine to see how it plays. If it doesn't do much I move on. The only exception is if i'm going to be betting $3 or more per spin, then I go with $40- most I ever bet is $5 but more like $1 is common for me. $300-$400 usually lasts me about 5-6 hours this way, unless things go really bad.
I found if I put in a $100 bill, or even feed it more 20's if it's not hitting right away, it doesn't do any better after- and almost always plays worse on the second $20 or more. My big wins and jackpots have all come from either a big hit right away- or I get some decent hits that build up that $20 into a lot more- then I keep on playing it and cycling that money until I get my big hit.

I recently had $1000 in freeplay at one of my locals, won a drawing. I played it all in the high limit room- video slots and $5 reels, betting either $5 per spin or $9 per spin. It was gone in 20 minutes. Now I did turn it into $1000 cash, but made me realize how quickly a bankroll can go on video reels in higher denominations.

Good luck!

Congrats on the drawing win, that was a nice one!

I like the idea of a 'Do Not Touch' envelope. My problem would be at night after a dozen or more drinks, I'd touch it and wake up the next day and have no clue where it went! HHH!
