Las Vegas casino workers may strike for first time in decades

I believe it would open alot of opportunity for the crypto gambling industry but lets face it these people have lives and bills they have to pay. They cannot afford to strike and if they do the casinos wull just replace them with more dealers and pay more to make a pt. Vegas can afford you to leave. You are replaceable. That and alot of people like to go to socialize with real people. There are no bots in the real world!!!

If this were to happen, it would just mean these employees have been unhappy with their employers or maybe even their guests for a quite some time. With this strike, casino operations will be put on-hold or may even close for a while if not sorted out right away. Employees will strike and customers will also be triggered by this.

The people who like to go for the real life casinos are different from online casinos but they have an option of online gambling now if they can't go to the casinos.But in future most of the people will convert into online casinos when there will be no need for the real life casinos at that time the online gambling can offer virtual experience of the real life casino betting.

I don't see it actually doing anything to help crypto gambling, though it may give a boost to some online (legal) gambling websites -- some of these are without a doubt going to include FanDuel (and those online sports weekly bettings things)

Getting into crypto gambling requires bitcoin (or some altcoin) and it simply isn't something that most people have, or have the means to acquire -- so that's just not going to work out. Crypto gambling is cool, but too volatile for people to actually want to gamble with -- once the volatility is gone, the people (and sadly enough, the regulations) will come

Regulations are only as good as the methods available to police. With crypto gambling, there are people gambling from China with it because it's illegal to gamble in China. It doesn't stop gamblers from using proxies, bitcoin or privacy coins from gambling.

I didn't know Las Vegas workers were used like that.
I thought considering Vegas is where people go to lose their money and their minds they would probably tip really well enough to make Las Vegas workers to be really rich compared to rest of the world, even the bartenders and waitresses probably got paid to much in my mind, obviously the reality is apparently different. They just make it look like anytime someone wins they pay the dealer a hefty tip on the movies and television shows, maybe the reality is nothing like that and people keep losing in real life so they do not have any to tip because all went down to casinos pocket instead.

Not a good news for Las Vegas but a good news for the workers there, I am always in favour of people who fight for a better life, better rights and better payment options. For Las Vegas this may seem like forgotten because the pay rates in USA are some of the best in the world but it is a good sign that people want to further than that and ask a better way of life.

For online gambling this does not mean anything as people who frequent offline casinos are not really online casinos fans.

The strike news appeared in the end of May and the matter seems to have been resolved within days, so no strike actually took place. Half of the workers were supposed to be offered 5-year contracts already. And I don't think that strikes from people working on cooking and catering staff jobs make a difference to casino markets. If people like cards dealers went on to protest, on the other hand, some people might have turned to cryptos, but for that we need a pretty long strike (a month or more). In general, I guess people who prefer online gambling are just different from those gambling in real casinos. They probably don't like socialization, identification and slow rhythm out there.
