When people visit casinos, do they usually go with friends or relatives, or do they prefer to go alone as a way to disconnect?

I prefer to go alone as a way of spending time but I usually travel with friends or relatives so if they tag along to the casino, I won't mind. Casinos are several hours drive away from my place. If a casino would exist in my city, I will just sneak alone.

I've never been alone.

I generally go alone since I play poker tournaments and that isn't something conducive to being with a group of people. (I don't do it to disconnect though...it is just the way I am.) The only time recently that I've gone with someone else is with my friend Alice's husband when they come up to visit. We play cash games and craps.

For me, gambling is entertainment. Entertainment with friends is always more fun than alone. That's why I usually prefer visiting casinos with close friends, if possible. But I'm not bad on my own either

I like playing alone. I only play online, and I like playing in silence, just me and the sounds of the slots. I don't like noise and noisy companies.

I play when I have money.
With friends or without, with a girlfriend or without, with family members or without, it doesn't matter in this case. The only thing that matters is having money
If I have money, I can play alone or with anyone.

The answer to this question depends very much on the person itself. Me personally I like to go to casinos alone as I'm a lonely gaaaambler.

Most often I play alone. Sometimes I play with friends if we all get together. Overall, it doesn't matter to me whether I play alone or with friends, it doesn't affect my game or my discipline in any way.

I only play online, so I always play alone. I don't have the opportunity to go to live casinos, at least not yet, but if I did, I definitely wouldn't go there alone, only with friends.

I've been to casinos with my wife, with friends. But most of the time by myself. When you go to play poker, you can't take people who don't play it with you. there's no point since you can't have fun together when you are sitting at a table for hours.

I've never been to a casino, but I think if I went, I would go with a friend who believed in and trusted my luck. Positive thinking is essential, because if you bet, you bet to win, and it's always good to have someone rooting for you. Well, but if I start losing a lot, that same friend might drag me home. That's why I said “friend.”

It was either tied to work or social.

Poker always alone
Casinos always with friends or family
Although it's easier to lose more money with friends or family since the social element increases how much you wanna show off in front of your friends

I just gamble and spend my time and money on it. With friends, relatives, girls, or alone, I will gamble anyway. For me, gambling is just entertainment that I am willing to pay for.
