If you think the gaming day begins at 6am, what time do you feel comfortable beginning to play? My concern would be the clocks are off, if I started at 601 AM, it might be the previous day in the system. I also am concerned the gaming day doesn't begin when the casino says, if they say. I'll in the past have my card in after 5 am, the card reader will say I have accrued 0 points. For these reasons, I begin at 605am, and do not play after 455am unless I'm doing two days in a row.

A wise move.
Not only are there growing disputes over how Time of Day should be propagated over the internet but few programs are set up so that the exact time intrudes on processing functions, the programs have to actively check the time and that may be delayed or deferred for some reason. Any information exported from one program and imported into another program may well contain timing information that is slightly off.

Just as one would normally allow an office worker to have his morning coffee rather than telephoning him at
exactly 9:00am, one should always allow for interlinked computer programs to have time for hand shaking and
coffee time.
