You can. I usually play some, just because if I am already sitting at a slot machine I might as well. I play for a little while, if I start winning, I cash out because I don't want to spend it all! If I start losing, then yea, I really need to cash out before I go through it all! If it is the last night I will sit and play usually because I never get to a casino, so then I don't cash out right away, but I make sure I have spent all on the cruise cash. I am not a real intense gambler. In fact when my husband is at the tables, I am not allowed to be anywhere near him, I bring bad luck!!! He has been known to give me a chip to walk away if he is up...
