Your riddle doesn't give correct information. The road to the answer seems to me broken. You better check it again. I'm sure, In Sha Allah, I will guess the answer, then.

the answer is $45, we could use the formulas:
1. ((a-1)/2)-1=b ..... at the first exit ....("a" means the money we bring at the first time before entering the casino)
("a-1" means the money minus $1 after entering the casino)
(" (a-1)/2 " means after entering the casino we lose half of the money)
(" ( (a-1)/2 ) -1 " means after losing half of the money we exit the casino and cost $1) ("b" means the amount of money left after entering, loosing,and exiting the first time)

2. ((b-1)/2)-1=c ..... at the second exit ... (almost the same explanation as the first one)
3. ((d-1)/2)-1=e ..... at the third exit
4. ((e-1)/2)-1=0 ..... at the forth exit...(after exiting for the forth time we have no money left)

so after doing the math we will get a=$45 is the amount of money before entering the casino for the first time

$2.00, if upon entering the first time it cost you $1.00 and you lost 1/2 of what you started with. You must have won money each time you were in the casino,

$5.00. You enter 4 times but by only 1, 2, or 3 of the entrances, and exit by the one or ones you haven't entered by, thereby not paying anything to exit except the very last time you exit. This costs you $4.00 to enter and nothing to exit, leaving $1.00 in your pocket.
