Casino Kid is one of those games where you have to take a paltry sum and gamble your way to a fortune.
I'm real bad at that, so I prefer to start with a fortune and then gamble my way down to peanuts. To do that in this game, I go to the Password screen

And tell the game that "I AM A RICHMAN" (using "FORWARD" for the spaces).

Then highlight END and hold down Start + A Button until the game starts.
The result?
I start out with $100,000 instead of $500

Which means that it takes me much longer to lose my shirt.
Bonus!
