    Heading to Caesars in Windsor and I was wondering if you guys had any tips.  I'm 19 so this will be my first time doing any type of live gambling and I would like to make it a good experience.  Thanks in advance and wish me luck!

    CASINO 101...

    Stay away from the Money Wheel.  Worst odds in the entire Casino.

    Slot machines can eat $20's quickly.  If you must play slots, GO EASY.

    Table games like craps and blackjack offer better odds but you should have a general knowledge of the game rules before attempting to play.

    Don't be afraid to ask for advice from the dealer or another player.  Advice is free and there are plenty of know-it-alls willing to give it.  It's better to get advise than to do something stupid and piss off the other players at the table.  Especially at blackjack.

    Always have a plan.  Set aside a specific money amount you're willing to risk at each gambling session and have a specific goal you want to achieve.  Example: "I'll start with $200 at this blackjack table and that's all I want to risk.  If I lose the $200, got to get off the table.  If I win $150, I will try to win more, but must leave if it gets down to only a $100 profit".

    Remember, the Casino isn't going anywhere.  You can always go back another day if your luck isn't running good.  Sometimes you have to take a break from the action.  Enjoy some restaurant or bar time.  It makes the trip more relaxing.

    If you choose slot-machines, then always keep track on your financial balance. This game really draws in. Also you should heedfully overlook the table of payouts, in order to be sure about your exact profit. If there are any bonuses, promotions, prize offers, use them without delay. Good luck!

    i dont want to be a debbie downer but the best advice i can give you at 19 is not to go in the casino.. its a terrible habit to get into and 90 percent of the posters on here would say if they could turn back time they would not gamble... go do something else.. go on a singles cruise and nail about 4 broads who tell you they usually never do this LOL

    Go to the craps table and bet 6's and 8's only for a while. See how you do.

    Thanks for the tips guys! I'm pretty excited, will probably play some Texas Hold 'Em if there's a tournament.  Definitely won't drink anything though!
