What's the strangest or craziest thing you witnessed in a casino?

It's amusing sometimes to see people lose their heads when gambling, but in general not fun to watch when the repercussions get serious. Never seen anything so crazy in real life, but plenty of news stories to find like this guy who took out so many people and then set fire to a murder-suicide at a casino last year. Casino arson seems pretty frequent in Manila, this just 6 months ago.

Online, I've seen a few people on the brink of going crazy. Just creates all kinds of depression and bad news, luckily the Bitcoin casino owners (at least at the places I play) take measures to prevent these addicts from losing it all.

Really amusing! I have heard mad stories of gambling for a while now, but this one seems to hit me strongly considering the fact that a woman could go that length when it comes to gambling and got affected to the point of hitting the prostitution phase, for someone with kids. It is such a pity. I would not say I feel pity for her, but I really feel pity for the kids she has.

I can imagine how that would even affect them growing up. Most of those who end up becoming an addict to gamble usually end up affecting all those who are close to them in a way. What a crazy world!

Once I was playing the slot machine with my wife when someone that she knew (a distant acquaintance) asked her for $20 cause she ran out of money. My wife gave her $20. Half an hour later, the woman came back, removed her gold chain and tried to sell it for $50 cause she ran out of money again. My wife said no thanks. That was the last time they talked. The woman used to be married and had two sons. Sadly, her gambling addiction caused a strain on her marriage, and resulted in a divorce. Her husband left her and took custody of their children. The woman's gambling got so bad that she ended up working as a prostitute for a while.

That is really strange and crazy most especially for a woman. I used to think guys are usually the ones more prone to being an addictive gambler based on their urge to get rich quickly sometimes and take some risks, but these days it is becoming the other way round. It is a sad story for her and honestly, this is one thing people need to start realizing that based on your mentality towards gambling, it can cause more harm to you than you can imagine. Now, she ended up losing all, and now can only resort to prostitution to fulfill her gambling desire. That is like one's life being wasted completely.

One of the most weird experienced was when I was talking to a gambler in the casino lounge, at that day he was losing so much and he complained that the God hasn't helped him that day, and all of his lucky charm were not working, he told me that the casino used supernatural things to make the gambler never win any money in the end, its a very weird conversation to me, I knew in Asia people really believed superstitious thing, but some people believed it too much

It is really interesting and ridiculous for me, how does he blame the God, it is really weird.

Personally the strangest thing I've ever witnessed at a casino is the normal casino behavior.... People spending dozens of hours every week throwing their money down the drain for the slightest chance that they might strike gold! The fact that people are so blind to the fact they are destroying themselves is insane to me and yet it happens to hundreds of people every day.

The currency that we have to be able to live life easily is money. But the only real currency that we have is time. It's so strange to see people living their lives. Just thinking about how limited our life truly is in this world, people seem to just take their lives and their money for granted. What makes this strange is the fact that there are tons of other things that you can do for your free time. They are mostly free, more enjoyable, increases your social circle, and is more extreme than betting a $100 and then losing it.

Let's say the gambler is an introvert and socializing and being out there really is not their thing. There's still tons of things you can do. Introverts are mostly smart people and reading a book for them is a magical thing. Some plays DnD every Thursday nights with other introverts. Or you can just isolate yourself from the world and play online games. The adventures in online games these days are so good. It takes you in a whole new world. I often wish I can just stay at home and play 24/7 but we need to fend for ourselves. Online games are very rewarding in scenarios like being able to defeat a boss or being able to craft a precious item in the game. If you really can't help but gamble, you can gamble with your in-game currency and your equipments as well.

If a girl gets addicted to something then they won't hesitate to do anything to get that addicted thing in that case she needed money after she got divorced so she maybe worked as prostitute and earned money for playing again in my guess there are lot of things I also wintessed.
Once I was in a casino I saw a person who wants to sell her wife to get money for gambling and finally he sold her too and lost in that bet also just a stupid thing.

[Sukut]

Fights, people blacking out on tables.. All kinds of shit happens in casinos man.

Ive seen people try to steal chips from other people and get caught and beaten up by the security

Almost identical to what happened to me but it happened not inside to a casino but to a festival where there are some gambling games. A stranger which I really have no idea why he approached me and then he offered me some of his stuffs such as mobile phone, watch and jewelry. I don't know if that's a modus but his reason was identical as that woman, he lost and he wants to take it back.

Why on earth would he want to take it back after losing ?
These are just some crazy addiction stories that a lot of people are experiencing each and every day and then they tend to get their life wasted on things they could have averted right from the onset, but the urge that usually result from the greedy impulse, will just keep pushing them to do the craziest thing.

I have experienced this before as well but with a cousin, and that was recently, and unfortunately he sold his new IPhoneX to me for as low as $300. I did not know at first as I thought he needed money urgently but he came clean when he came back to me to want to sell some of his appliances.

High level of craziness when it comes to gambling as far as I am concerned. I had to make his parents aware, so they can monitor and find a way to help him before it gets out of hand, at least since he is not married nor have kids yet.

Like what I said, I have no idea why he approached me and maybe that guy has a serious addiction and he lost a lot. This only proves that addiction can come to the extent that whatever we own, we can sell it for the sake of addiction, recovering of our losses or its already a mental disease that can't be stopped easily. And usually with these stories and experience that happened to us, addicted gamblers are willing to sell everything just for it.

Obviously, any one who will go to the length of borrowing to gamble is totally and with no doubt addicted. It is just funny that as some people keep getting smarter to take hold of their life and not get it ruined from gambling, some are just not smart enough to know the path they are threading with respect to gambling is a wrong one. Not being able to control yourself in gambling comes with huge repercussions and definitely this few examples of yours and the OP are some of those repercussions.

That's a sure thing. I can't even blame them for acting that way but its a serious matter that needs to be addressed and solved on their part. However, if they won't do something like controlling themselves and appreciating those things that they have it can possibly won't go that far. But this is just too much for them and I guess they are aware of the consequences of their actions.

Well that depends on which Casino type are we talking about? Any or just specific one? (Online or Real Life?)

I was playing reactoonz at mBitCasino for a couple of months ago 5mBTC/Spin and hit the Garga bonus 3 times in less then 150 Spins, I did a pretty cool Profit that day.
I tried it again few days ago, not so lucky. but its for sure a fun game

Mine wasn't at a casino but it was related to gambling and bitcoin.

Long time ago, heard from a friend of a friend about Bitcoin. Some guy locally basically bought and sold BTC. This was before localbitcoints and before Coinbase and before BTC ATMs.

Basically after doing a few transactions, I trusted the guy and so did a few other people who knew me.

However my last transaction with this individual didn't end well. I wanted to sell some BTC, so I always sent it first from my computer and then met him up in public to get the money. The guy never showed up. He never responded to messages and he didn't answer any phone calls.

And later on after months and months, I heard from somebody else that knew that guy and apparently he had a bad gambling addiction and he gambled away all his BTC and was scamming others to "break-even" and "pay the bills".

[Symphonized]

Maybe some hacked rolls out of some Casino due to know his previous seed

[sweetbet]

I regularly saw people put a "This slot machine is reserved" sign on a slot machine so that they can go and play another slot machine before coming back to the reserved machine to play it. It's like they don't want anyone to play a particular machine so they keep reserving it every time they walk away from it.

[Janation]

It did not happened in the casino but in a certain gambling place where these people are taunting one another whenever they are winning. I know that it made me pissed at first since they are so noisy and other people can't focus on what they are doing.

But while it last, it is fun to watch since that noisy one was lost and it is more funny seeing the one who are mocked at first are the one mocking him, it is like a revenge story you can only see in the movies or read on stories.

I think GOD is always telling that person to not playing gambling but he does not listen or he doesn't know the sign so he still playing the game until he's lost much money. I don't believe that he was lucky at that moment because if he has a luck, then he doesn't need to get lost much money and even he can win much money from the game. superstitious won't help him if he doesn't have a luck in the game and he only getting loss his money.

I feel sad for that woman. You see how gambling can affect someone's life that badly. As for me, when I go to the casinos, the only strange thing I witness is people's behavior and how they look at each other. It is like they have killing eyes. And with the focus they have, it is like they really are going to win. And if they lose, their facial expressions change. I enjoy watching people's behavior and make my own analysis. It is really fun if you ask me.

A whole lot of times it can really be worrisome to see the extent at which people will go when it comes to gambling. I would say the behavioral concept of most people and how they have ended up fashioning their mindset with the idea of gambling for the money is what ended up turning them to what they are.

This is the reason I always say addiction is not a gambling problem; it is the people in question problem because as long as you cannot put yourself together and be in control of your life, something somehow will end up controlling it for you.

Hmm. Just stranger asking money for you? Or someone selling his watch? Or some random guys asking for cigarettes? I mean WTF you have money to play but don't have any for a cig? Lol. Or someone sobbing and telling you sad stories and next thing you know, asking for money for cab fare. Why not just go home after they lost, no need to stay in a casino like that and asking someone for money.

Seeing people winning big jackpots and after a couple of days the same guy is broke. Another I witnessed last 2 weeks ago is one guy shouting and it looks like he has some argument with someone, just for a few bucks. Damn!!!

[panjul07]

I'm not really whether it is true story or not, but your wife did something wrong here. She should not give/lend her $20 because you know that the money will be used for gambling. Once you lend money to someone for gambling, means that you support his/her addiction.
In my opinion it is not strange or crazy thing in gambling history. Many people do the same thing when they run out of money, starting from getting loan, selling stuffs, or even do crime to get money. They are hardly addicted to gambling, so they will do anything to get money. Once you find this kind of people especially if you know them well then tell them to stop instead of giving them loan or money for free.

Strangest thing was probably on nanogames.io
A gambling nano site.
Nano was at 20-30$.

One guy was at -20k$ ? ( -2k nano ).

Somehow he climbed back and went up to something like 40k nano.
He had literally 1.1 - 1.2 millions $ in nanos.

I am not sure why, but he kept playing. He started to lose / win, so he was even.
Max bet was 1000 nano back then. Then the site owner decided to lower the maxbet to 100 nano.
And somehow, the user lost everything, he just lost the 1.2m$ he made, in like  1 week, playing everyday, losing and losing.. He even made other accounts because he thought his account was targeted by the site.


I am not sure what was his objective since he had made more than 1m$, but this was sad to watch.
