Do you consider the Casino a solitary activity, or do you go with friends/family?

While I will go with my wife or (adult) kids, I prefer to go alone. I plan on losing quickly, then leaving.

Of course I will choose to go to the casino alone. Maybe go to Las Vegas to have fun for 2 days, winning or losing is not important, the main thing is to enjoy some private time and then return to being a family man))

For me, casino games are my personal activity. I only play online games when I have free time and am in a good mood. I am the only one in my family who plays, none of my relatives are interested in gambling.
 
I think you gotta take some friends or someone to hang out with,

unless I was regging a tourney then I guess I'd go alone....

👍
 
I play alone. My family does not participate in these games and shows no interest in my hobby. Moreover, my family members are sceptical about my interest in poker and other gambling games, they think I am wasting my time.
 
I have never been to a casino, but I believe I would bring a chaperone 😛 be safer for me 😛

I usually combined business with trips to casino.

Have been to a few bachelor parties in Vegas and Reno, which is really fun especial if you do it during March Madness.
 
I don’t usually gamble, but going to Las Vegas and playing at a casino must be an incredible experience — and it would be even more fun with family.
 
With the nearest casino I fancy being 5 hours drive away, would be boring to go alone. So I go to the casino with family then they leave me there as they go to wherever they wish. We'll get together in the evening & plan the next day until we would go home together.
 
It really depends. Online I play all the time alone but to live casinos I like to go in company. Its just more fun to me honestly...
 
In my family, I am the only one who gambles. And to be honest, I would like it to stay that way. I am quite conservative and disciplined, and I always know when to stop. Other members of my family are quite emotional and can easily lose control.
I see gambling as an individual pastime, and I definitely don't think it's a team sport 🙂

If I ever go to a casino, it will be with friends. It's more fun that way. I can play alone at home.
 
Being a solitary activity might help you gain more focus and concentrate on figuring out a strategy I feel! Family and Friends can lead you to casual play due to distraction!
 
I have done both and I prefer alone, but that's how I feel about most things. I can move around and not have to look for someone when I am ready to leave.

Maybe it's better not to rush into losing quickly? 🙂
Maybe it would be better for you to plan to win quickly, and then whatever happens, happens 🙂
Of course, casinos vary, and some are more like resorts, but I would prefer to spend time there with friends rather than with family.

I'm the opposite, I pretty much only go with friends. if im gonna lose my money i at least want to be grabbing some drinks and talking trash with the guys while it happens lol.
 
I mix it up. Sometimes I play with friends when we go out to celebrate an event. But much more often I play alone at home, online.
 
When I go to one of the local Indian casinos I almost always have 1 or 2 friends with me .
 
I prefer to play alone but whenever I go with anyone , we don't play the same games and spread out.
it all depends on the experience you are seeking, with someone along its more about fun, but mostly for me it's just about gambling
and I prefer to stay focused.
 
Solo all the way! Going alone means no one is judging how fast you blew through your budget, and you don't have to pretend to be thrilled for your friend who just hit a jackpot while you're sitting there completely card-dead! 😂
 
i usually go with my girlfriend , and often with someone else too .
 
Because the fun you get is worth more than the money. No one expects to win money at a theme park, but we all understand why spending money that way is fun. If you play and lose, and you get that nagging feeling that you might have a problem, if you think, "Well, damn, it would have been nice to win, but at least I had a good time; overall, it was worth it!" then that's good.I always walk alone.
 
Both - and they are completely different experiences. If I go with my husband (which is not often) we primarily play blackjack, but I do still play some slots. He may put a random $20 in a slot here and there, but he doesn't play them much.

If we go with our friends, she and I play slots while they drink and follow us around lol.

I do love my monthly trips by myself - I love controlling my own time, when and what I play, when I eat, when I go to bed etc. I mostly play slots but will occasionally play blackjack for a bit.

No, I always play alone at the casino. It has a special atmosphere that I want to experience without anyone else around. Right now, I'm talking about online casinos. Lately, I've been playing roulette a lot, and sometimes I chat with the dealers. 😉
