How to win??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> DON'T PLAY!!!! Seriously, do not EVER expect to win in a casino, especially NOT in SXM! Do not EVER bet any more money than you can afford as ENTERTAINMENT. Gambling is ENTERTAINMENT, nothing more. And it usually costs money. When was the last time someone PAID you to have fun?? Probably never.

As far as gambling in general, there are millions of (free) online games that show you how to play the various types of games. Unless you're going to just go and play penny slots or something--which you COULD do--play several games online so that you at least know how to play, in generalties, before there is any money at stake.

As far as particular casinos in SXM, they are not going to be anything like Vegas, so don't expect what you see on TV from Vegas. Most are pretty small and generally not terribly busy. The closest casino to OBBR is the Westin, but unless there is a convention on there, it will probably be very dead there. Casino Royale is probably the busiest casino on the island. Or you could check out the Starz casino at Cupecoy, as it just re-opened from a re-furb, so maybe should be nicer than some.

Just remember rule number one--how to win at gambling--Don't play!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

(..speaking as a person that LOVES roulette, one of the biggest 'house' odds games there is! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />)
