Train At Home To Maximize Free Drinks While Playing Casino Slots

Everyone who has ever been anywhere near a casino knows the deal--the casino gives you free drinks while you gamble.  They're doing this not only to be nice but to lower your inhibitions and impair your judgements.  Their hope is that they'll have a house full of sloppy, erratic players on their hands eager to throw money into slot and video poker machines without any thought of maximizing their investment or utilizing proper gambling strategy.

The casino free drinks present a compelling diliemma for serious bettors.  On one hand, proper strategy is essential to profitable slot play.  On the other hand, who doesn't like free drinks?  Some weak willed gamblers go so far as to not drink while they're playing but here's a better idea--train to beat the casinos at their own game by increasing your tolerence to alcoholic beverages in the privacy of your own home.

By learning how to maintain proper strategy while getting roaring drunk you can beat the casinos on two levels--by profitably playing their slot machines and/or video poker machines and by taking advantage of the free booze they're giving out.  The training part of the equation is relatively simple--get some booze and practice playing slots or video poker effectively either with a computer simulation program or at an online casino.  It's important to be building up your tolerence to alcohol at this point so make sure you don't 'cheat' by drinking something low in alcohol volume like lite beer or a girly chardonnay.  Most gentlemen of refined tastes use bourbon or scotch for this exercise, though if you're not up to this socioeconomic level you can substitute pure grain alcohol, everclear, or a product common in Mexico called 'alcohol puro' and know colloqually as 'fire water'.

All you need to do at this point is to start drinking, start playing and monitor your results.  The idea is to get so automatic at your strategy decisions that you can continue to play effectively no matter how drunk you get.  For most people this will take a few weeks, though for others it may take months to get the balance right.

Once you've got the proper strategy while drunk component down then its time to pick out the right casino to play at.  You need to strike a balance between quality of the free booze they serve and the payout percentage of their slot machines.  Using Las Vegas as an example, the conundrum generally works like this--the nicer casinos like the Wynn and Bellagio serve better booze but have tighter slots.  'Grind joints' in downtown Las Vegas or out on Boulder Highway have looser slots that pay better, but they serve pitifully cheap booze.  Some places that are good to try for a proper balance of quality drinks and decent slot play are the Cosmopolitan, the Palms and the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

If you have a felonious bent there's another option--shoplifting booze from the local liquor store and playing online slots.  That way you can gamble and drink for free without having to leave your home.
