Set the budget first#
Choose the amount for the whole session before the first round and treat it as the price of the entertainment. Divide it by your stake: a 20 budget at 0.20 a round gives you a hundred rounds, which is plenty of time to enjoy the board.
Give every round a target#
The board makes this easy. Pick the row where you will press Take Winnings before you press Place a Bet, and stick to it. A clear target turns each round into a calm, simple decision.
Keep the stake steady#
Raising the stake after a core is the fastest way to shorten a session. A steady stake keeps every round the same size, so the session lasts as long as you planned.
Take breaks#
Each round lasts only a few clicks, so time passes quickly. A short pause every twenty minutes or so keeps the game fresh. Many casinos offer session reminders that show how long you have been playing.
Use the casino’s tools#
The partner casino and most others provide:
- Deposit limits per day, week or month.
- Loss and session limits that stop play at a set point.
- Time-outs from a day to several weeks.
- Self-exclusion for longer breaks.
