As we draw towards the Christmas season, the way in which you spend will be on your mind even more than usual. If like many, you have a monthly budget, then perhaps towards the end of the year, this allocated spend will lessen slightly. Well how about a leisure pursuit which can actually gives you a fairly good return? Think of a night at the pub or your favourite restaurant, although you take home some pleasant memories and maybe even some photos of the evening, all you really gain is a bloated tum and an obvious decrease in your pocket. Well a night playing Pokies could cost less than a night out and think of the potential returns, significantly greater than any other typical evening activity. Just ensure your play is controlled and the fun won’t stop; observe these simple tricks to keep your pokie play pleasing!
Plan your Pokie Spends
The most important element to monitoring your Pokie play efficiently is to allocate yourself a realistic budget. Ask yourself, how much can I afford to spend on nothing? It sounds odd, but if you see Pokie money as the cash you’d usually splash on leisure time, which you would not get any return on, then that’s how much you should donate to Pokie play.
Then Plan your Time
Once there’s a budget set, set yourself a time limit. If you give yourself for example $50, but blow this is an hour, it won’t make for very effective or even enjoyable play. So if you decide that your allocated $50 should last you one evening, then you are allowing yourself to enjoy your money and your Pokie play, without enraging your bank manager!
Swap Pokie Play
Replace an activity you usually enjoy, perhaps the cinema, with an evening of Pokie play. Rather than adding the cost of Pokies to your routine, swapping it for a leisure pursuit you already enjoy will ensure will keep your play sensible!
Keep Spins level
If you operate a low wager level, perhaps 0.5% of your monthly budget, then you’re more likely to enjoy a long gaming session with better value.
Game Regularly
Obviously no one knows when Pokie luck will strike. Although many discuss ways to make the machine work for you, many of these are false. A way to boost your chances is to play regular, controlled games. This firstly ensures that you understand the game and secondly you are more likely to win. With pokies, you have to be in it to win it, so you never quite know when luck will strike!
