At my age (70 soon) and because I play recreationally, I mostly make one trip 4 days a week to local casinos, one each day, leave within 20 minutes-2 hours. If I am up by more than $200, I leave.

I have averaged between 25 and 30 hours a month, including 2 weekend trips. After 7 months, I have won about $12k while incurring 3-4k in expenses. Goal is to win $10k after all expenses at the end of the year.
