Even playing penny slots can require budget stretch
80-year-old mom would like a mother-daughter day at the casino.
The most common coin denominations in casinos are penny slots. They require higher minimum bets. A $20 bill guarantees only 50 spins of the reel, while 80-cent bets take that down to 25 spins. The games are easy to play without seeing what a game can do. There are no bonuses to pique interest and replenish your credit meter.
Even playing penny slots can be expensive. Lower minimum bets and slow play can extend play. If playing with your mom, consider playing together on the same machine. Be prepared to take breaks and walk around. If you have a bigger budget, don't overbet. You can't afford to lose money. It's better to be a watcher than a player.
Blackjacks occur with the same frequency for players as for dealers. Three or more card combos are different. Players can turn soft 18 into different totals, but dealers are required to stand so will always finish with 18.
