Gambling hiding, rules ignored.

[YOSHIE]

A little story in my place of residence, last night I went out around 00, time in my country, and I passed a casino place that during this time, there were rules from the government while all land casinos were closed to prevent covid-19 outbreaks, allcountries have that rule, maybe.

Strangely, the hour to 01 (night), I saw one by one people continue to arrive and enter the casino building, finally I also went in to see what was done by that person, at the end of the story the person put up a bet and gambled.
That's what gambling addicts do, even though the government forbids people from visiting casinos, however, ignoring them, in their minds betting and gambling, ignoring the rules.

note:
they all use masks and gloves.

- And how in your country, did you find something similar like I found...!
- Is this the only thing I have met in my country...!
- Did you all find the same thing...!

I did and mostly the most common one is cockfighting and most traditional gambling since there aren't any land-based casinos here. Even if there are restrictions to it those gamblers gonna break rules just to get what they really wanted but I think with strict restrictions and high charges who breaks it makes them lie low and conducting regular operations to arrest them.

[Slow death]

Unfortunately in my country people seem to be of an immeasurable level, will ask me why the hell am I saying that the people of my country are of an immeasurable level?

let me tell you what people in my country do:

In my country the government has forbidden that all places like casino, restaurants and places that sell alcoholic beverages must close.

What do people in my country do to get around this ban?

The people of my country take the phone number of the owners of these places and arrange hours that they can go there and continue playing and drinking and the owner of the place keeps the door closed so that the police think the place is closed

I don't know which type of casino you are talking. Here in my location, some small casino and bars are still operating. No one seems to care a lot about the restrictions from govt. You can't restrict the gamblers. They'll find a way to continue gambling.

[plvbob0070]

You can report it to the authorities so that they can learn their lesson. It's prohibited yet they are doing it. People won't stop and won't regret something until they were caught.

I have not seen anything like that personally but I have seen in the news that there are really some people who would risk everything just to gamble even if there's a gambling ban. Worse is that they would use the financial support given to them by the government. These people won't learn their lesson and will keep on doing it again and again because they think they won't get caught. They are risking their health and can also get arrested. Masks and gloves are not enough to prevent them from the virus, especially that they are gathering just to gamble.

Correct but if the government implements such law they shouldn't abide by the law. However, if the will follow the COVID 19 protocol and be precautious every time there's nothing wrong there. Because as we know gamblers will always finding ways just to gamble even though it is risky to their health. As long they were wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) they are fine.

Can't say anything about casinos

As there are none over here. However, I can tell you that it is the same story with gyms. I have keys from one such gym, and two days ago I went there to have a workout. I tried to unlock the door but it turned out somebody was inside and left the key in the lock from the other side of the door. Finally, I got in, and there were a few guys working out there already. Looks like I wasn't the one or the first one to train behind closed doors and in secrecy

[Ulven]

This is one of the drawbacks of a mentally unqualified gambler!!!OP How can these people risk their health and money?
 >:(You can inform the local authority of the place.

[Raflesia]

That is what any addicted gambler will do to bet even though there is already a ban from the government to avoid Covid-19, but some people will continue to do what they want and therefore just out of the house to gamble.

But in my place only an empty house that is used for gambling in the middle of the night so that other people do not know even I see this almost every day.

^ For sure the boredom and addiction to gambling probably the reasons why these folks keep on breaking the rules set by the authorities. Some online casinos are still operational but not all of them have access to it that is why they tend to break the rules just to satisfy their gambling urges. Land-based casinos who are still trying to operate even when there is a lockdown should be reported to the authorities for an obvious violation of the quarantine. Another reason is because of lockdown they only think of their profit and not the health of their players regardless that they are implementing precautionary measures like wearing face masks and gloves still they are breaking the rules. Nevertheless, whatever the reason rules are rules it should be followed and no one has the right to break it including the authority who created the rules.

[Tipstar]

All of the licensed casinos are of course closed here. But the shady ones that operates without a license and local poker groups are always filled with gamblers. There's a fake understanding that if the participants are all known and from the same place, they won't contact coronavirus.
Today our city had the first cases of coronavirus, let's see if that changes anything.

[YOSHIE]

You can report it to the authorities so that they can learn their lesson. It's prohibited yet they are doing it.

I have told several local officials, the results are not satisfactory, they have official permission from the highest official, I do not know who it is....!

For various reasons, after all the casino guards included members of the military desatemem, which were paid.
The casino is already old age around the 1990s.
I do not know behind it all, whether it was on purpose or there are other elements.

That should not have happened, with circumstances like this.

I don't know which type of casino you are talking.

They installed casino games for poker, baccarat and many others.

To @YOSHIE was there positive or confirmed case/s on your area?

I don't know that ... maybe, because the information is not transparent.
I see some people including respected in my city, mafia.

I thought they were greedy, and pretentious in power, as if they were not attacked by Covid-19.
The strange thing is, they entered one by one, and even then it was already 01:00 and above.

Nevermind the boredom if the virus isn't contained in a place where there are cases been reported it should be the health be at utmost priorities.

To @YOSHIE was there positive or confirmed case/s on your area? If not, I think they are just too confident that might not get contracted by the virus because if there are confirmed case/s, people might not be just roaming around or they are just plain stupid knowing how deadly this virus is.

[jossiel]

I can't go out that much but observing my surrounding, there's nothing that I can observe that relates to gambling.

That guy that you have seen probably in serious mindset that no matter what the situation is, he has to gamble. This could also happen but for some hobbies that can't be done during these lockdowns. It seems that there are still some gamblers and people that goes out freely just to do the hobby or passion that they want just as stated. I hope that the others will take the situation very seriously and take care of themselves.

If the government have closed the casino in the country, then it is illegal to open them at mid nights. You should have reported it to the police or law enforcement agencies and they would have fined the owner of the casino. This is very irresponsible act from the casino owner and should be punished for it.

[tbterryboy]

I guess it is happening all around the world as usually authorities/securities are inclined to break rules for bribes and there are high power people who always love have entertainment regardless of whatever situation is going on. I read in my country, alcohol is being distributed with help from authorities and bike racing kind of high violation things also happening.

After easily availability of online gambling through VPN, I believe there should be less violation for gambling purposes in my country. People here are very keen on alcohol consumption compared to gambling. This may be a different situations because I did not meet most of my friends and others to gather such things due to isolation reasons for last 40 to 50 days.

[mersal]

Ignorant people are everywhere, I didn't find anything related to gambling rules ignored since I am under lockdown and near there ire no places related to gambling but on other sectors people tend to ignore the rules given by government and they don't even practice social distancing or many places.Everywhere turning into cluster of this spread, don't know where we are heading into.

[kawetsriyanto]

It actually breaks the rules, even all the gamblers use masks and gloves. The government instructs to close physical casinos temporarily because of the Covid-19. It seemed strange why those people arrived after middle night, it showed that they have the intention to hide the activities. If we know how to report it, then we can report it to the authorities. Even if I am not really sure it can be closed totally.  

>Can you tell me in what city it is?

[20kevin20]

If your government has placed this rule and you've seen a few people get in and gamble, then that person might've been an acquaintance of the casino owner. It's not unusual for me to see local bars open with only 2-3 persons inside and it was kinda obvious they all knew each other.

On the other hand, there were also a few restaurants/bars open nearby where anyone could get inside. These are obviously not obeying the rules our government has put in place. It truly depends on the situation. What I personally think is.. just let them be. Those not willing to obey the rules will not do it whether you try to constrain them or not. If you are willing to obey them, just do it and let these guys be.

[pixie85]

So you guys always obey the rules of your government? Is that it?

How come the government banned people from entering casinos but did not shut down casinos and allowed them to operate? If a casino is open you can expect people to go there. The rules should not forbid people from playing but casinos from being open.
