The gambler's purse can be of a rigid formed construction such as plastic or in the form of a soft-sided purse. In either case, the gambler's purse can have a single or multiple compartments so that the user has access to some items while not having access to his or her winnings.
The gambler's purse may also comprise a coin purse and/or phone case on the exterior of the gambler's purse. Further, the gambler's purse may have a Battery backup to allow the user the ability to charge or recharge a phone.
