Anybody else have success in the casino side of any poker rooms. I have definitely lost more than I've won. But one time I took $30 to 15 grand in like a week. Thanks to some tournament success at first but then switching to Video poker and BJ.
Busy thread!
Nope, not me. I don't play a lot, but when I do it seems there's only one way to actually win any real money and that's to hit one of the jackpots, which I never have. Otherwise it seems you just sit there hitting the play button over and over and over. You go up, you go down, you burn though all your money, you quit for the day. Next day - you do the same thing over again.

Yes, I also think it's a good game to win money (as are the cash games in poker), but attractive jackpots can make you a lot of money in slot machines. I am very curious to see the new interactions between the Cardschats community and the casinos, because I am Brazilian and I want to see the perspective of the cradle of roulette and slot machines in the casino scene, so widespread in the USA. I believe that casinos are designed to win over players in the long term, but that doesn't stop some players from winning sizeable sums and jackpots!MK_ said:
I have won and continue to win money playing poker, but essentially I win exclusively thanks to freerolls. I play in freerolls, accumulate a bankroll, and then play in tournaments with buy-ins. However, I do not have any significant experience playing at casinos. I have won a few times at online casinos, but overall, I have lost much more often 🙂
There are quite a few gamblers among my friends. But in most cases, I only heard stories from them about how they lost and how much money they lost. I can only remember a few isolated cases when someone boasted about winning a decent amount of money.
Wow, that’s an insane run! Congrats on turning $30 into 15k, that’s the dream right there! 😅 I’ve had some good moments on the casino side too, but honestly, I learned the hard way that the casino gives you once and takes twenty times back. It’s fun for the thrill, but I try not to make a habit of it anymore!
I did bonus hunting (bonus whoring) when you could clear pretty big bonuses by just playing Black Jack or Roulette for like a ridiculously small turnover, like 10-20X the money that should release the bonus amount.
Online casinos and poker sites were desperate for market share, so they offered big deposit bonuses (sometimes 100% up to $1,000 or more) with relatively soft wagering requirements.
Back then, blackjack often counted 100% toward clearing bonuses.
Now, NO BONUSES in Sweden (except for a small first-time sign-up bonus) are allowed. NOT in Sports Betting, NOT on Casino Games. And NOT on Poker Sites.😡🤐😢🤢💩😴

I have been gambling my whole life, without exaggeration. Generally speaking, I have spent hundreds of times more money than I have won. But since I was essentially willing to pay for such entertainment, I don't see anything wrong with it. However, I must say that I would have preferred a less expensive hobby, such as knitting or embroidery 🙂
In the long run, you won’t make a profit from casino games, except poker. You might have a few winning days, but once you add up all your wins and losses, the outcome will almost certainly be a net loss. That's why playing in casino should be only for fun
Me personally I'm up a few hundred dollars over the years. Those winnings only came from free offers like free spins and other promotional stuff as i basically never use my own money for casino games. My biggest win I think was on full tilt poker long ago where i was able to turn over a casino bonus of 500 dollars in around 550 us dollars.
I have a friend who has won significant amounts of money several times playing at casinos. It's quite surprising that he's so lucky. He's not a gambler in general, but once or twice a year he might go to a casino and just win money. I don't know how he does it. Maybe it's because money doesn't mean as much to him as it does to me. Or maybe it's because he doesn't aim to win and just plays for fun.
I played sometimes casino, but sincerly I won more times than I losse, but I decided to play just when I feeling it's my turn to relax myself at casino, and it's happening very rarely as you said I saw casino players who is really addicted, and they lost huge money at the slots.
turning $30 into 15k in a single week is absolutely mental lol. that's the kind of heater everyone dreams about but almost never actually hits.
hope you cashed most of that out before the blackjack tables could take it all back!
