I once went thru $400 at the craps table in 2 hours.

I'm going to agree with ezyd that $400 can go quickly or last for quite some time. If you want more serious details I suggest these sources: Or could last days with only a few table bets with unusual luck and perfect play, or with low bets on 'penny' slot machines at least until the free drinks run out, which I've actually seen a few times. $400 can easily be spent in a few minutes at many casino tables or machines.

That said, most casino customers play the games for fun-and maybe for escape from everyday drudgeries? The big plus is many casino patrons enjoy free complimentary drinks, meals, shows, rooms, etc. It depends on how long you hope to play and what you think 'gambling' is in a casino business? If you want 'gambling' with equal chances of winning/losing there's really nothing close in most casino games, that's why the government considers it 'Gaming.'-not 'Gambling'!Ĭasinos as entertainment businesses rake in millions monthly with very few significant winners.
