bankroll

[skh322]

what is your bankroll for a casino visit???
Mine is around 6 or 7 hundred

Bankroll depends on several things so coming up with a single number is difficult. If one is going on a weekend trip or weekend in Vegas they would need much more than a trip to a local casinos for a few hours. Not to mention that the denomination played will make a huge difference. Not sure the responses will be that meaningful without this kind of added information.

I used to play quarters and would bring a few hundred a trip.
 
Now that I play the $5 or $25 machines, I bring about $25,000 for a weekend. It's usually a mistake... I always win early so I could probably bring only $5000 and come away with a half million any way. But I like to start with $25,000 because then I can put that away for a nice dinner and use my profits to buy cars, watches, and secluded islands.
 
Then I wake up from my dream and go play my quarters.

Playing quarters and dollars, I would bring 2K for a 3 day stay (playing multi-line) and I had several credit lines at different casinos for 3K each in case I needed more. That way I didn't have to pay ATM fees or carry a lot of cash around.

Eduardo,
Can I share your dream? It sounds like more fun than playing quarters.

For a one day trip where I play dollar VP for 6 hours, I bring $3K.

What denomination, and do you play single or multiline?

[skh322]

lets say i play single line at a quarter and and any multi line is at 5 cents

Much is judged by the length of playing time, stay and denom as Shadow said. My budget doesn't allow me to play the long hours I used to. quarters or lower denom for me. 2yrs ago, I brought less than $300 for a 2 day stay in LV and I managed to stretch it out playing for 2 days. That was including RFB mind you. I got lucky, thats not normal.
