Prologue

I've been attending Casinos for nearly 3 decades and think I have information you'll find quite useful.

So, why do I frequent Casinos?

I'm in my 60's and believe Luck just might be my life's work. The first time I walked into a casino, to my left, a winner was screaming and jumping up and down for joy...to my right, a loser was cussing to high heaven. It was one of those epiphany moments. Why it stuck, I don't know, but I've been fascinated by Luck for better than 30 years.

My first book, "Using Astrology to Find Your Luck: What Works?", was ranked as one of the top ten books on Astrology and money. That book details what I've learned in the esoteric realm. I've developed Luck Charts and have had customers returning for decades...I must assume, they keep ponying up the money, because there's something to it...These Luck Charts are available for purchase at Gamblesoft.com. Be sure to have your birth information handy!

But Luck is just PART of the story...

The other side, is what I've learned from experience after 30 years of attending Casinos.

This book is a discussion of one leg of what I call, the Gambler's Arsenal, called "Knowledge".

If you're thinking of risking your hard earned money, then it's just prudent to ask someone who has decades of experience playing Slot Machines! I believe, the cost of this book is a pittance to what it could save you!

Chapter 1 – Open Your Eyes!

Yeah, I know you want to hop straight to the Winning Strategies! I get it! And I tried to use bullet points and repeat important points in certain sections for those of you who like to skim read.

That said, honestly dudes and dudettes, you'd be short changing yourself skipping the early chapters. Totally! These first chapters cover some mean, harsh, nasty realities. If you're planning on risking your hard earned moo-la, you'd be wise to learn as much as you can about how casinos operate before walking into one.

So buckle in--I'm about to tarnish those starry eyed glasses, the ones you wear telling you can consistently win. Yeah, some of you were born lucky, but most of us can win the battle once in a while, extend our play, but will have a really tough time winning consistently. Can it be done? Maybe...but after gambling for nearly 30 years, I can tell you this--things are getting tighter and the machines are getting more and more expensive. The freebies are fewer and leaner. It's getting really, really hard...

Gambling is a form of entertainment that can sometimes pay you. For most of us, thinking you can win all the time, will do nothing, but part you from more of your money than the fun is worth!

It's a sad, harsh reality, but true!

You must learn to keep it between the ditches. One way is to EDUCATE yourself, aka, knowledge is power! If you can do that, in combination with the esoteric, and a hefty dose of discipline, I think you can maximize your fun while minimizing your losses.

If you've bought this book, you're one step ahead of other gamblers. Because you'll be going into the land of Lies and Deceit (otherwise known as, Casinos), with some semblance of wisdom about what casinos are and what slot machines are...And I applaud that! Gambling has such negative connotations in Western cultures—not so in Asian societies, where gambling is an accepted part of the culture. In other words, they recognize good fortune and plan to operate on it. Most Americans tend to poo-poo that concept.

Whether you believe in the esoteric concept of good fortune or luck, irregardless, if you're going to risk your money, then at least consult with people who've been gambling in casinos for years...It's just prudent!

Consider it's fun, yeah, I get it (I like to gamble, too!) But in terms of entertainment value, it's a terrible deal! A movie costs $20 for about 1 ½ hour of entertainment. And yet...a hundred bucks won't last very long in a casino, even betting the minimum.

When I first started gambling, I could take $50, last the entire day and still have enough for a Taco Bell burrito and ice tea on my way home. Then it seemed to go to about $80. Then rapidly to $300-$500. And that's betting the bare minimum.

The cost of gambling, the minimum bets... have gone, way, way up

If that's not enough, as of 2018, the Federal tax laws have changed—unless you can meet the deduction limits, you can't write off losses! And, the deduction limits have gone way up. Ouch! This means any jackpots you are lucky enough to win—may end up being federally TAXED.  It used to be, if you won something, you could count on writing off any winnings against your losses—and since most people lose, regular gamblers almost never paid Federal taxes. Then ouch! Many regular gamblers got hit with a massive tax bill in April 2019.

If the new Federal tax law changes aren't enough, many States require taxes be taken out—you have no choice. You'll have to file a tax return in that state to get the money back—that is, if you can deduct your losses. Say you live in on the Illinois side of St. Louis and come into Missouri to the casino. If you want the Missouri taxes back, you'll need to file a tax return for both Missouri and Illinois! In Mississippi—last I heard, you don't EVER get the state taxes back. Period! It feels to me like everyone wants a piece of the action and we gamblers are being squeezed in the middle. More expensive games, fewer freebies, taxes skyrocketing. Bummer!

Which means, for us humble gamblers, it is getting mightily close to impossible to win consistently...Even if you win, they take a chunk!

With that said, it's getting more and more important to use every angle possible.

Here is what I see as the Gambler's Arsenal. This book addresses everything but the Esoteric leg.

For those of you who want to dive into the Esoteric leg, aka, Astrology and Numerology, I have another book, "Using Astrology to Find your Luck: What Works. It's available at Gamblesoft.com. If you'd rather leave the Astrology/Numerology to the professionals— automated" Luck Charts can be ordered as well, combining both disciplines.

Bottom line? We can get knowledgeable, we can use our lucky periods and personal assets to our advantage, but EVERYTHING falls apart without DISCIPLINE! It's the 4th leg of the table, without which, the entire thing comes tumbling down.

Chapter 2 – Casinos...

Before we start talking winning strategies, the first thing you need to know is...

Casinos exist for one reason: TO PART YOU FROM YOUR MONEY

No! They don't exist so you can have fun. No! The employees are NOT your friends. No! They don't want you to win (even when say they're rooting for you).

They're a business, like any other, and they exist to make a profit. And they can only make that profit, if they keep the gamblers rolling in AND those gamblers lose. If a casino can't attract any gamblers, it'll go belly up in a hurry! We are their life blood. So it's more than merely important for casinos to fill up their establishment, it's a requirement for them!

So let me start by asking you a question, and answer honestly, "If you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, you were going to lose, 100% sure, how many of you would still go to that casino?" Imagine you knew, you were going to walk into that casino and hand them $300 every time you went. Would still you keep going?

Most of us would resoundingly
