I spend no more than $50-70 a month on gambling. I would definitely exchange the $500 voucher for cash and use it to gamble for the next 5-7 months.

Its a profit. I spend the playing money and keep winnings separate. Perhaps its time to go home as a winner for a change. Redeem the casino voucher & keep it for expenses or until the next time we are back in the casino.

So you have a general principle that you stick to when playing. I think that's great! That way you have a set amount you can gamble and a clear overview of your winnings, which you can then use to buy something useful or for your next visit to the casino.

Maybe I would have made a different decision and continued playing but I would probably have gone to another casino.

That's the decision most people make.

It's better to divide those $500 into ten parts and, following this primitive bankroll management strategy, try your luck 10 more times :)

Is this just well-intentioned advice for everyone, but something you don't follow yourself;)?

Or does it actually reflect your approach to the topic?

Probably cash out most of it, then use a doubling strategy on roulette with the rest.

Here's a different idea of how to proceed(y). Refreshing!

Cash it and call it a day! It is not often you win that much in a casino.

$500 is a good bankroll for poker. I would exchange the voucher for cash and top up my poker account. That would definitely be more promising than spending the money on slots.

As far as I know, the voucher is a mandatory wagering requirement; you can't use it straight away. But if I had the choice between making a profit or going home, I'd go home. But if I came there with friends, I'd definitely continue the game and lose them there.

I would take some of the money and gamble, maybe 25% or whatever amount I had planned to spend. After all, if I were at a casino, I would gamble, right? If I didn't win anything, I would stop right there, because the temptation is great. Not knowing when to stop is a sign of “addiction,” and we must be aware of it, even if it's just spending a voucher or a gift. Good luck to you, Patrice!

You win a $500 voucher, redeemable at the casino cashier! What now:unsure:?

It would be right to exchange the voucher for cash and go home. But most of us rarely do the right thing. I would most likely continue playing and most likely spend all $500 that same evening.

Cash out and go home - 100%. It's better to come back the next day, and if they don't give you a voucher, spend $100 of those $500 :)

If I haven't lost the money I came to gamble with, I keep playing with what I have and then on the way out I'd cash any winnings in as well as the $500 voucher and go home.

Definitely a poker player, not a gambler.
