Help with gambling

Jealous? You should be.

I've just noticed Rome has casinos... But they're quite far from the workplace where I spend most of my time as I have no transport, so I need to censerve energy as much as possible.

What I'd like to know is, is it worthwhile visiting the casino? After my next work cycle should I go & have a crack at it, or is it just a really good way to lose money? I don't wanna go all the way there, find out it's a bit rubbish then all the way back to work & leave myself out of energy & down on productivity for my next work cycle.

So does anyone gamble regularly, is it a good way to increase your money & therefore stats? Or am I best just leaving it alone?

I rarely gamble and when I do I usually don't get my money's worth. But there is always a chance at a jackpot.

Like JoshuaR, I have been gambling for months, though I have only been doing $1 spins for a long time now. Trying for that jackpot. :cool: I only have anecdotal evidence to offer you, but if you have not gambled before the first week seems to be very,very lucky for most people that I have talked to. After that it can vary quite a bit. I have done better then break even over time(which is great considering MY luck), but YMMV.

So it's the kind of thing if you keep making lots of small bets, you've always got a wee chance at a big (ish) win?

What's the most you can win? Roughly, I mean..

If I haven't played for a couple of weeks, I usually go along and put down one fairly big bet. Usually around £20-40, and I usually win, so I can vouch for this.

I had a go, I bet $8 & won $10 out of my 3 allowed tries... So a success then!

Thanks for the tips!

The mostyou can win depends on the size of your bet, but I forget what the maximum is, or if there even is one. You can generally only win 2x what you bet, so if you win once and lose twice you break even for the day if all your bets were the same amount. I don't think the amount you bet affects your odds of winning at all.

When I lose 6 times or more in a row I tend to start making bigger bets, that usually helps me recoup any losses.

The odds are something like 1/5000 to win the jackpot, if I remember correctly, so I wouldn't gamble on that premise alone. Though, if you gamble 3x/day, it'll only take you 5 years to break 5000 pulls, so by then you should win for sure.

That said, I gamble regularly at $5/pull.
