Handy Tips for Gambling at the Gate
When you are in the terminal, bear a few things in mind. Use headphones. They block out the terminal noise and allow you listen to the game. Be mindful of what’s happening around you. Keep one ear open for announcements, or program a quiet phone alarm for your boarding time. Make sure your bag is secure. Look for a seat where you can spot the information screen without having to turn around. I like to sit with my back to a wall, facing the gate agent and the screen. Give yourself small goals. Play until you activate a bonus feature, then take a break and verify the flight status. It provides a natural pause.
