I've easily had a couple hours worth of fun with $200 or less.
Unless you never have lucky moments. It can go fast if you lose big every time.

Play the small value slots too. Penny and nickle slots can be entertaining.

yea penny or nickel slots should last you a while, or 5 dollar a hand blackjack.

Pai Gow Poker lasts a long time as well. The hands/per hour in this game is not that high and it is not a very streaky game.

I made $200 last a whole weekend (Friday 9pm - Sunday 2pm) playing Pai Gow. Most of my losses were from paying out tips to the cocktail waitress to keep that blood alcohol level up.

Blackjack has some of the best odds in the casino. That's your best bet for making money. Penny slots just to pass the time. That's fun, but you won't make money.

There was a place up in Washington I went to a few times that had 2.00 a hand blackjack. You could really stretch your time there.

Blackjack, craps, and poker are probably the three best games to play, but you need to know how to play/bet the last two. Blackjack's probably the safest bet for a beginner.

Best bet's probably black jack. Quarter slots are good to if you hit something semi-regularly, but they can eat cash quick if you don't. Even the penny and nickel slots will sap your cash if you choose a lot of lines and bet high each pull.

go roulette, bet red or black only. Bet minimum, lower the table minimum the better. If you lose, double your previous bet, lose again? Double it again. Once you win, you'll be up a few bucks from that initial lose cylce. Rinse and repeat for as long as you can stand it.

Easy way to get comps and earn a few bucks.

You can do the same on blackjack. However, doing this on either game will leave you broke in the end (or a billionaire, but really you'll be broke).

you "can."

one of my friends won like 25 grand on a slot machine last year... but I gamble just as much as he does and over the course of the long term, I'm likely in the red (especially if you tack on gas, transportation expenses, and meals). but I gamble for fun, not to try to make money. if I come out ahead for the night, awesome; if not, I hope I had a good time and it was money I was prepared to lose anyways.

as far as how long you can make $200 last... it really depends on if you're talking penny/nickle slots or $1-$5 slots.

Well me and SO decided to make this a day for us (when we go) to have some fun and let go of some stress. Hopefully, we win something, but if not at least we had a good time.

Next thread:
I lost my car due to gambling... and my girlfriend..

OP, after I stopped laughing I gave your query some serious consideration ...

$200 will be gone in nothing flat depending upon what game(s) you choose to play. I haven't read your entire thread but the best advice I can give id DON'T ... I mean DON'T go to the casinos AT ALL. The "cards are stacked against you and you will LOSE your money quickly, very quickly!

A better option for you is to go into your bathroom and flush the $200 down the toilet ...


Advice you will probably ignore ... form the only person who goes through Vegas and does not gamble ...
