Do you have a plan for what you are going to do if you start losing? What about winning? And what would you do if you won some serious money? How would you get it home, safely? The point is that how you get, use, access and manage your money when you gamble is just as important as which games you play and how you play them.Every player — high roller, low roller, table or machine player — must do the following if they want to partake in the casino action.1.
