REMEMBER: Gambling is a form of entertainment that has a cost.
Cost of play is a useful guide for determining how much it costs to gamble in the long term.
Because of randomness and other factors, you might lose much more than the average or occasionally win money in any single gambling session. However the longer you play, the more likely it is that the amount you spend will conform to the House Advantage.
The average hourly cost of play (COP) is calculated by the following formula:
COP = House advantage x average amount bet x speed of play
Follow the instructions on the next few pages to see your average cost of play.
