What is your average session length (time)?
Is the time mostly pre planned or more a function of how you are doing?

I've been in a lot of tournaments lately. I am referring to casino promo free entry tournaments.
A lot of tournaments offer players the option to pay to "re-buy" back in at lower levels (usually first or second level, not much higher than that). I always laugh when I hear the smooth talking announcer declaring that re-buys are available for "only" $___. (And whatever that sum might be, whether it be $500. or $2500. or anything in between it is always "only" 😅.)
Poker tournaments universally allow players to buy more chips up until a certain round.
MGM and and one or two other casino chain tournaments also offer the ability in at least blackjack tournaments to buy more chips up until a certain round.
MGM, RW Vegas and TI blackjack tournaments have these things called "mulligans" where you may pay to replace an unwanted card (up to one per hand, up to quite a few during the tournament itself valid up until a certain level). This leads to one strategy of going all in with your chips on a hand and using the Mulligan if needed to try to maximize the chance of winning. If you win that hand, the other players tend to fall on their swords trying to catch up to you.
My general philosophy is to not pay anything during the course of a tournament and to never rebuy. However, there are certain levels at which paying to beat out others at the table may be mathematically advantageous, such as in a quarter-final round where the winner is guaranteed a large sum of promo chips just for advancing from that table, or perhaps from the semi-final table where the next step is a guaranteed win.
But in general I resent all these intrusions into the established odds of the free tournament. Of course it is great for the casino to have people paying right and left to improve their chances but it makes it harder to win for a purist who wants to keep it all free entry.

MGM poker tournaments have one player at each table who is an employee. He starts with twice as many chips as the rest of us. If you take him out on an all-in hand, you get a certain amount of promo (play 'til you lose) chips that might be up to something like $50000. (randomly determined based on what mystery card has been assigned to that employee). That in itself gets people to want to buy more chips to try to take him out.
Some of the poker tournaments though have a rule that you may not buy more chips until you're tapped out, which is at least something that helps the players who are playing with only free entry chips.

Quote: MDawgI don't know about slots players, but I think the vast majority of table players are up at some point during the trip. Most probably leave down.
link to original post
With my own "trips" some of which have been pretty long, it used to be that I left each one at the peak of winnings. That was when I was playing smaller and the trips were shorter.
As the average bets increased exponentially and the trips got a lot longer, I had fewer trips where I left at the peak, and variance seemed to have played a factor notwithstanding the continued advantage plays. I started having more trips where the peak win was somewhere before the end of trip.
This could have been the result too of getting so far ahead that I decided to start taking chances on bets that were less than perfect advantage plays, but still advantage.

Quote: AxelWolfCash out and deposits are not free for the online casinos online they pay processing fees, and it adds up. If you have a player who's constantly depositing and Cashing Out the minimum amount daily/weekly or whatever, it starts adding up. Think about it, if a player is only losing 1%-5% of 50 bucks, but the casino is paying $10 to $20 in transaction fees, paying employees etc. It doesn't make any sense for them to want to deal with those people since they are a net loss. I have a feeling it's either the industry standard or some kind of Regulation saying that they must allow or some kind of regulation saying that they must allow minimum cashouts of x amount.Quote: ChumpChangeMaybe they want all cash-outs above a certain number figure, say $600 or $1,200 so they can square it with their online IRS responsibilities. Cashing out less just looks like structuring, lol.
link to original post
Many offshore joints don't allow you to cash out any less than $200, oftentimes they have as much as three times rollover before you can even attempt to cash out.
I talked to a guy who owned a small online offshore Casino. He offered all the usual Casino stuff but he mainly had the Casino for sports betting.
He said if I knew anybody to send them his way. He asked me not to send him any small time slot players since they just ended up costing him money with transaction fees.
I told him just to raise the limits, but I guess he didn't have that option since it wasn't his software. Obviously, a small-time operator is going to have bigger fees but I'm sure they all do.
link to original post
There’s probably some truth to the economics here, especially for smaller operators, but I wouldn’t assume there’s a universal regulation requiring a particular minimum cash-out amount. Those limits are usually going to depend on the operator, payment processor, jurisdiction, and the terms of the site.
The bigger issue is that a low minimum withdrawal can still be useful for players even if the operator’s processing costs are higher. I’d look at the full withdrawal policy instead: minimum/maximum amounts, processing fees, KYC requirements, pending periods, and wagering requirements.
Since this is an older thread, payment methods and regulations have changed quite a bit, so I’d be wary of using the $200 minimum or rollover figures mentioned here as current industry standards.

I was down a bunch and came back to win….. $7!
Also turned $30 in free slot play into $25 cash! Plus earned an additional 7 points which is as good as $7. So +$39.
It’s why there is no ‘Adventures of SOOPOO’ thread!
When you get a private table is it in the general gambling floor, in the high limit area, or some fully out of the public eye area?

I didn't even play with very much to start with, kept hitting specials up to 100X. Lately I pull a smaller amount to start with, see how it goes, then ramp up, this time I never even ramped up just kept winning like crazy.
I was at a reserved table, but in the public area and people kept trying to sit at my table because they saw how I was doing, and had to be shooed off by the dealer. When people do that, I just stand mute and let the crew handle it.

There is another Reserved player I have noticed, and to get a reserved table must have a minimum $250K line, but most every time I looked over, I noticed that was playing about $800.
I met the player, we talked, was going over this "method" has, which is:
Play only 5-6 hands per shoe.
Whenever Bank or Player run 4, bet against the run. If lose, martingale up to two more times still against the run, if lose 3 bets in a row, stop.
This player claims has "run simulations" and even over thousands of hands, this methodology works. Based on that Bank or Player just don't run more than 6 times, too often, was what I gathered was saying.
Claims that has NEVER LOST whenever sticks to this method, loses only when deviates.
As I listened to all this, I kept thinking "none of that matters, over time it's just going to even out," and "maybe it's not so much that loses when deviates from strategy, but that the strategy works until it doesn't."
Still, it is interesting to listen to the ideas that casino players have.

I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.

The thing is, and I tried to tell this player that, I get runs of 9 or more, almost every day I play. This player was claiming that rarely sees such runs....

It seems to me that those who casino game day in and day out—whether online or brick-and-mortar—have lost what it feels like to finally come home from a trip and decompress. In other words, they never get to experience the relief of real life. And this is coming from someone who goes on multi-month Vegas trips at times.

I don't follow him, but look at one or more of any such videos and more will populate your feed automatically - John Cerasani.
I thought he played blackjack only, but lately he's been posting some Baccarat videos too.
Mostly just flat bets, his sessions are generally divided into three categories: (1) in the 500 - 1000 per hand department, (2) 1000 - 2000, or (3) flat betting about 5000. Point being that each individual session consists more or less of flat betting, or close to flat betting. Claims to win most all the time, which I just don't see how for someone who mostly just flat bets, but at least he is honest about that he made his fortune through something or other when he was younger that had nothing to do with gambling, and now just does this for fun. Although...to watch how badly he stresses over the losses or losing sessions, makes me wonder how much he actually enjoys the play.
I believe he also runs some kind of $999. fee blackjack training session, and obviously makes money off the online streaming of his play (was recently banned from streaming from Venetian).

Maybe you and him should play ther same table at ther same time. You bet your way and he bet his, and see who ends up ahead at the end of the session.

We both have our reasons for not wanting others to play at our tables.
That player's is obvious, that player plays maybe 5 - 6 hands per shoe, and wants to breeze through the rest of the hands without waiting for actual bet outcomes.
Mine is along the same lines of not wanting to wait for other players to play their hands and hold up the game, especially in situations where I might bet the other side (it's not superstition - it's the delay of game).
But I play a lot more than 5 - 6 hands per shoe, so that in itself would make us probably not want to play at the same table, other than perhaps as some experiment or challenge.
