I'm curious to know on how you manage the budget for your play on casinos?
I mean.
You calculate an amount for a complete session, for day or week or just go to play arbitrary, how you manage your casino bankroll?

I don't have a budget for casino play, most times when I go to a casino I play poker, but if I play other table games I'll pick a limit of what I am willing to lose, and then I stick to it.

If I decide I want to play slots, I won't go to a casino, or play online, I'll play at my local sporting and social club, or my local golf club, and again I'll pick an amount I'm willing to lose and then stick to it, anything else is just stupid imho.

I only spend money at the casino that I win playing poker. I mainly spend money on slots, but I never spend more than $20-$30 per evening. I don't have any particular bankroll management strategy for playing at the casino, because in order to have bankroll management, you first need to have a bankroll :)

Whenever I feel like playing a casino game, blackjack I should say, I decide to spend a certain amount, $20 for example. If I lose it, I leave. If I'm winning, I stay till I double it.

Budget??? What the hell is that? My budget is whatever I walk in the place with, when it's gone, then I guess I'm done. Now talking about casinos, I have an urge now to go. Dammit it's my league day. Oh well, next week.

I always played recklessly, and that led to huge losses. Now I limit myself and rarely spend more than $50 a week. I think that for responsible players, bankroll management is a necessary and mandatory component. So, be responsible.

My budget is per visit - I only play live so far. If I were to play online it would be per session, but staying within a monthly max of course.

I don't have a budget for playing at the casino. Once or twice a week, when I have a few spare dollars, I can afford to play slots, roulette or blackjack. If I don't have any spare money, I just don't play.

I don't really play casino games with a budget because I only play them for very little money. But I play poker games with a budget and it depends the format how much money I use.

I play with money I earn from poker and sports betting. If I have a good week, I might spend $20 or $50 on slots. I don't really have a bankroll management strategy for playing slots, because essentially my entire bankroll for gambling is that same $20 or $50 per week :)

I don't have a budget for casino games. The money I spend is just a one-time fee for entertainment, because I see casino games as entertainment. As you understand, bankroll management for entertainment is not a necessity :)

I always have a one-time budget that is almost always $10. Very rarely do I increase it to $20. That's quite enough for me :)

I play at casinos with the money I manage to win in freerolls. That's why I never spend more than I win. Sometimes it's $10, sometimes $20 or $30. That's my budget for one session.

Rarely a plan comes up to visit the casino as it is several hours drive away. When it does, check what you can afford to loose for the budget on the trip. Any win is a savings, any loss is just breakeven.

The very first trip to Las Vegas was probably my most successful…I was 25 and had $300 set aside for gambling for 3 days…I decided that I would have $100 each day, and I would only gamble after dinner...if I lost the $100 in the first ten minutes…evening over…if I won money the first day, I would still only have $100 on day 2, etc. That worked because I took home money.

Always invest only that much money which you can afford to lose and never chase it!
