Funny Money Quotes: There’s little question that everyone accepts they will have less money after a visit to a Casino, but we always hope we’ll be the exception and win the jackpot. Jack Yelton said:
 

 

“There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: go there with a large one” — Jack Yelton

 

 

Jack Yelton seems to be humorously pointing out that the only reliable way to leave a casino with more money than one entered with is to start with a significant amount of wealth. The quote implies that gambling at casinos is essentially a game of chance where the house/business has statistical odds in its favor over time.

So unless a player has deep financial reserves (“a large fortune”), regularly betting or playing games there is more likely to result in losing money than gaining it (“a small fortune”).

In essence, Yelton is acknowledging the risk involved in casino gambling and suggesting the only strategy for a “sure” profit is to wager amounts that won’t significantly impact one’s overall wealth.
