So, you’ve got some time off of work and instead of taking the time and money to hit a casino, get a hotel, have a few drinks and see a show, you’re already in the red without winning a cent.
Keep in mind this staycation idea might not be the ideal way to spend a week, but during a long weekend, it’s definitely doable.
Just remember not to gamble more than you intend or can afford to. And have fun!
Play Music
The secret is to keep music playing all day and night. Preferably crooners like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and of course, Wayne Newton. Play it on a loop. It’s not for listening to, it’s for setting a tone.
Move the Clocks
Take the weekend off. Hide all of the clocks (and while you’re at it, close all shades/curtains. Make sure that your “casino area” is full of light. You need to eliminate any kind of factor that would assist you to determine what time it is.
Food and Drinks
Drink some booze if you’d like (beer works or pre-made cocktails) and balance a 4-1 ratio of 4 glasses of water to 1 cocktail, but make sure that you stay hydrated regardless. Make sure you have plenty of soda or your favorite caffeinated beverage on hand.
As for food, the secret is to graze.
Make sure you have lots of pre-cut vegetables, cheeses and other low-cal snacks. Plus, some microwavable items on hand: White Castle Sliders, Hot Pockets and popcorn chicken.
Choose Your Game
You might not be able to roam a casino, but thanks to sites like Lucky Lady’s Charm deluxe slot online, you don’t have to.
Online there are dozens of different gaming choices, but a major choice in your selection has to be safety.
According to Be Gamble Aware, “Most people gamble for fun and enjoyment. However, some people think of gambling as a way to make money, spend more than they can afford, or use gambling to distract themselves from everyday problems.” They also provide tops that will assist in gambling more safely.”
Go Out For Breakfast
This is the perfect way to end your night at the home casino. Take a shower and shave and head out to your favorite local diner and have a great breakfast.
Then go home, clean up, count your winnings and step back into reality.
