Commission
The player must pay a 10% commission on any net win of a gambling session. A "session" ends after an hour of non-activity and can last no more than 24 hours.
Strategy
Play a while. The more you play, the less the effective house edge after the commission. I also recommend keeping your bet range as narrow as possible.
