They say always play with the money you have after all bills and groceries and done. Know when to quite, know when to leave, and always have a set limit. I for one has somewhat a gambling problem, cause I never leave when I'm up or until I'm broke. I know what my problem is but I still do it all the time. That's the gambling problem I have and much more but it's a long story so I'll just leave it as. I'm o.k. when I don't have any money to play or even if I do, if I just stay away from Casino's I'm Okay.

Doyzluck, it's called Compulsive Gambling. It seems like no matter how much money is won, the gambler will not stop until the money has dried totally up. Playing the money back and losing it all. Even cancelling cashout requests in order to have more money to spend. It's the thrill of the game. I have the same issues, except, I do not work at a casino.
My addiction has created quite a few problems for me, even after extensive counseling. Although, I must admit, the one on one counseling really helped and it's not quite as bad as it was. We have a program here through a medical university with outstanding professionals to assist with various addictions, and it's free to participants. The State picks up the tab because they have poker/slot machines in just about every restaurant, tavern and bar in this State.
In order to stop gambling, you have to make your ownself stop. That's kind of hard to do when it's so enjoyable for you. It's like video crack. Hang on in there. Set goals for yourself like if you don't gamble, you get to buy yourself something special. Think of money in terms of what it can buy. For example $50 doesn't seem like all that much. But it will feed you for a few days, whereas, $50 gambling can be gone in less than 5 minutes.
Hang on in there, better days are ahead.

Limit your budget: - This is the first and may be the most important thing to do. Everybody wants to win at slots, and that's exactly the point where one needs to stop and think. Hey, if I loose, how far I'm willing to go? Limiting your budget allows you to be in control even if it's not your best day.
Choose the right casino:-As you probably know, every casino has predefined payout rate, i.e. amount of money that supposed to be paid back to the players. No, no, it's not the big brother, it's just statistics. Try to figure out what payout percent the casino of your choice is promising. Get an independent opinion on gambling forums and/or message boards. Payout percent above 95 is considered reasonable.
Choose the right slot machine: - Similar to casinos, there is a choice of the slot machine you want to play. Slot machines vary by many factors and payout percent is the most important one, if you want to win the slot game.
Make decision about your strategy and stick to it: - There are different types of slot players. Some people want to spend less and happy to win a couple of dollars, others are more aggressive and want to feel the thrill of the game. Stay cool and keep your strategy. Don't let downs to destroy your style - ups will pay off.
Use your gut feeling: - Feel the game. Sometimes there is nothing better than feeling. Some people feel the new slots are better for them, others wait for online slots tournaments to win extra prizes and communicate with other slot players. Some people have "lucky days", others wait for the "lucky wave". Don't ignore the feeling - feeling is everything.
