My first time in a casino was just months ago (April)
It was sick to be honest, there's not alot of poker were I'm from, it's only that one casino that hosted poker games and the weekend that I went there was the last because they were shutting down due to lack of players. So I was there, my first time playing live poker, it's was unbelievable, the feeling, adrenaline rush. Ended up winning first place even though I played drunk because they gave us countless shots as a good bye (appreciation) thing
You are from Namibia? Its great to have a neighbour here at CC

The first time I went to a Casino was in 2020, actually I wanted to find out whether I will find a poker table but unfortunately didnt find one. I wasnt interested in slots and didnt bother watching them either.

I don't know for sure for live casino . But online it is true it is hard to win . At least I find it difficult . You need to have a big bankroll , ready to lose it all , they try to make you play more and more aggressively by betting more and more , the only way to let you win . At least that's my experience with online casinos . I never had an easy win , like betting some cents , very little money and win very big
That's the case with online, they let you win big, you get excited, then take all your money 🤑 💰.

I don't know if anyone has been successful so far, if there are, maybe they hit the jackpot, one time, like winning the lottery 🎰.

I have similar story, tried just once slot machine in a casino. It was some random slot game where after some tries I won free bonus game and I didn't even know how to play that bonus game, so I started randomly press buttons and at the end I won some small amount of money and cashed out immediately. After that try I haven't played any slot game
This only happens to me online, using play money. 🎰😁
 
My friend Mike and I were 10 years old at the time on vacation with my parents. We were visiting Virginia City, Nevada and old western town outside Carson City. A saloon had some slot machines near the wide open entrance. I had a bunch of quarters on me from playing video games the night before at the arcade at our hotel in Reno, Nevada. I plunged a few coins in this fruity slot machine. After 3 pulls, it lined up 3 Oranges and all kinds of bells started ringing. My Dad rushed over and pushed me out of the way to not get in trouble. He scooped up the bucket of coins and outside told us to never do that again! He kept the bucket of money and that was that. LMAO! 😆

Yeah . If you win very big you need to know that this very lucky , very rare , it might not happen again , so save most of it if not all , invest it.
And if you hit the jackpot , leave with the money , never look back )))) .
Now I remember some poker players who when they hit a big win (like wsop main event 1st prize win ) they stopped playing poker , they invested the money and keep on with their normal job or business .
 
I visited a casino for the first time in 1993. It was a casino in a hotel in Kyiv. All I can say is that I lost much less money than I wanted to. But since I have been gambling for over 30 years, for me it was just one of the next steps 🙂
 
About 20 years ago, I was at a casino playing slots and roulette in turn. The casino wasn't very big, it was a local establishment, and there weren't many visitors either, as it was a weekday evening, but the atmosphere made a very strong impression on me.
 
My first time at a casino made me realize that my life was just beginning. I was young, naive, and overly optimistic. My first time at a casino gave me the impression that I had discovered the Holy Grail, and now the time had come when money could be made in a fun and enjoyable way.
 
I visited a casino for the first time about 15 years ago. It was in 2010, in winter, and we went there after celebrating a colleague's birthday. I was sceptical and didn't want to spend money, but a few drinks changed my mind and I ended up spending about $20, which wasn't unexpected for me. Such establishments are designed for spending money. In my opinion, the main thing is that when you spend money that you can afford to spend, then you are guaranteed to enjoy the game in any case.
 
I THINK my first casino experience was when I was only about 18 years old. I took $25 and played a slot machine until I lost it lol.

Man, walking away even after making that 300 back was smart. My first time was super overwhelming—the sensory overload from the lights and sounds is real. I felt the exact same way about slots though. Realized pretty quick that if I'm gonna gamble, I'd rather play games where my decisions actually matter like poker or blackjack.
 
As far as I remember my first time in the casino was in London at Christmas and I played a bit cash game poker with like $100 buy-in.

I first went to a casino around the turn of the year 2000. It was a great time, I was young and quite stupid. The first night I spent more than half of my salary and I was just lucky that I had given the other half to my wife beforehand.

You're even luckier that your wife is so understanding about your whims and haven't asked for your whole salary. 😉😍

That would be a $1/$2 blinds. How's the experience with live cash game?

Right off the bat, when you reached the minimum legal age, was it a birthday gift to yourself, @Debi? And what lesson did you learn from that experience losing $25?
 
Slots are a waste of time, anything that is purely random is a waste of time. Worse, some people can become addicted to it.

I never liked slots actually. I shy away from almost any game that only involves chance and probability, and no player input.
 
Hi, Regie!
My first casino experience wasn’t at City of Dreams, but in my dreams, because here in Brazil we don’t have legal brick-and-mortar casinos (lol)... But I remember that my first time gambling online was on PokerStars, back when it was still allowed here—which it isn’t anymore... I have to admit it was interesting—I won more than I lost on the slot machines—but I soon realized the danger of losing a lot of money... So I stopped playing, and I understood why people here call slot machines "caça-níqueis" or “money-eaters” or something like that (lol)... I’m glad you got your money back from the casino! Good luck to you!🙂👍👍👍
 
My parents took me to Circus Circus in Las Vegas long ago . I was still a teenager so i couldn't gamble . Otherwise i don't remember much about it .
