Is there a way to track my progress and improve my casino game skills?

You can most definitely “grind” at casino games if you want to, and do so effectively. You can use software like PokerTracker and Blackjack Appendix to keep track of all your plays to see what’s working and what isn’t. You can practice for free on sites like Blackjack Coach and Online Poker Training. And you can find a community online at places like r/blackjack and r/poker on Reddit. Personally, I like creating an easily measurable target, such as lowering the casino’s expected win in blackjack from 1% to 0%, or raising my poker win rate by 2 big blinds per hour. Then I take notes about when I make mistakes – especially during emotionally charged “tilt” moments. And I keep detailed records of how much I win or lose. It’s a grind, yes, but it works.

Keep a spreadsheet of your sessions and record all bets, decisions, and outcomes, and check out the software available online to help you do this (PokerTracker and Hold'em Manager for poker; BlackjackInfo's blackjack software for blackjack). Look for advice on the subreddit r/poker or r/2cardpoker. Review roulette spins by using RNG software, and try out new strategies in demo mode before risking real money. Don’t hesitate to ask for opinions about your play at forums such as TwoPlusTwo and at BlackjackForum. Learn from your mistakes and adjust your approach based on what you discover works best. That is how I improve.

Keep a log of every session, recording bets and results. Blackjack players have web-based simulations and software from sites like blackjackinfo. com; poker grinders rely on PokerTracker and Hold’em Manager. With roulette, analyze your results for each spin and bet size. Post your hands in the appropriate subreddits (r/blackjack, r/poker) and online forums; ask for help interpreting your results and learning new strategies from more experienced players. Watch experts on YouTube and read books about betting strategies.
