It's there a possibility of working in a physical casino and not gamble

[bering]

I never working at the casinos before so i don't know about this situation just like this but i have been read an article some time ago but i forgot what is the title of that article because actually casino owners are prohibit their employees from gambling in the casino where the employees work and around the casinos where they work because the owners doesn't want their employees to spend their free time to gambling because they may be more likely to develop gambling addiction than people who work outside the gambling world

Indeed all of it depend on the person because they can decide only go for working at the casino without thinking to gambling but i have to says workers exposed to gambling activities during their works for each days and this makes them very tempted to gamble especially when the employees watching there is people who gets huge winning from jackpot so probably they inspired to those person and starting to gamble

This got me thinking and I decided to share it here, is it not possible to work in a casino and not gamble?
Are there other behavioral patterns that could be employed to reduce gambling excessively while working in a casino?
Let me have your thoughts on this.

to reduce the chances of workers getting too addicted in gambling, I believe it will be better for those working for a casino not to gamble at all. If they gamble, chances are that they might end up spending most of thier salaries on gambling. It's just like telling an alcoholic to work in an environment where alcohol is being sold and he has access to consum as much as he can, do you know what will become of it? While it's possible to be disciplined even while working in such environment, chances of being disciplined for the long run is very slime and it might take one out of 10 person's that gamble while working in a casino shop from not getting addicted. If you have to work and still have plans to gamble, it's best to make adequate plans that will safeguard your earnings. It could be as strict as depositing an amount that's small from your salary that will be used for gambling. Alternatively, I don't know if this works also for casino shops but for sports betting shops, after a certain gambler wins his bet, they usually show the cashier some love by giving him small money from what they've won and that way you can get side money apart from your monthly salary. You can decide that you're going to use only that money for your gambling and that you will never touch the money you're receiving as a salary.

A person who works in a casino never gets addicted to gambling because they earn a lot of money. Most of his money is in savings and he knows that gambling has the potential to lose. But he must be familiar with gambling and know about other technical problems of gambling. However in some cases it happens that some people are addicted to gambling because of which they gamble even though they work in casinos. They don't need to gamble with the money they earn.

I was discussing with my friend that works in a physical casino yesterday evening. He lamented that his work environment has exposed him to gambling excessively that he hardly saves enough, if at all at the end of the month although he sees good funds from the tips he receives regularly from his clients that clinches wins. He also receives a manageable salary at month-end, but almost everything goes back into gambling.

He stressed that working in a casino exposes you to irresistible desires to gamble and you can do little about it.

I told him that it's possible to save part of the money and gamble with the rest and this was my strategy.
I asked him not to gamble until it's 6pm in the evening and by then he should divide his daily tips into five places, then go straight to a money collection point tho deposit 4/5 of the funds, then come back to gamble with the rest, he agreed to try it out from today and I'm yet to hear of his success as at now. We also agreed that he'll open a fixed deposit account where his salary goes in and remain untouched until every 6 months as his main savings since his tips are enough for his daily expenses

The only way that I can see someone working at a casino and not gambling at least ONCE they would have to be one of three things. Either deaf blind or mute! That would surely keep them from or at least make it very difficult, or if they had some sort of special needs employed by the casino maybe I am wrong but I would assume they would be less inclined to gamble maybe not, is not uncommon in some states to have special needs employed on simple jobs etc.

casino workers who become gamblers. Indeed, not all of those who work in casinos will gamble, but I am sure more casino workers still allocate some of their money to gambling.
they will be quite familiar with gambling, and it will not be difficult to understand how to play and profit from gambling. when you are more often in one place with certain habits and routines, I think it is impossible for you not to follow the habits around you. even though a little, you will join in.

At least to me this sounds like an excuse, while it is true that being in an environment in which gambling is commonplace may cause a person to think more about the possibility of gambling some of their money away, the reality is that as long as you are disciplined you should be able to resist the temptation without too much of a problem, so your friend needs to accept that this is on him, and if he wants to save any money then he needs to just endure the temptation and refuse to gamble no matter what.

[passwordnow]

Very possible. If you are there just to work and bring food to your table, you'd definitely not going to have that itch to gamble. But if you're a gambler in nature and you think that you can't avoid that temptation then you may try to find a new job that won't tempt you to gamble. Because the main goal is to work there, save and provide to the family. If you can't do that flawlessly and you are being tempted to gamble a portion of your salary, there is a possibility that your whole salary might be at stake.

It's not about your emotions when you can see your job everyday that's related to gambling and you have the emotion and that can trigger yourself to gamble. It's best to avoid that kind of temptation to protect your well being and as well as to focus your goal by being a provider. Although if you are too focused enough to work even if you're in the premises of a casino, it's very possible.

I've seen workers that are hardworking and doesn't think about gambling but their work nature is in gambling.

The sentence you say is not consistent about your opinion, first says that people who work in casinos are not possible to be addicted to gambling, while you also say that there are some people who are addicted to gambling even though he works in the casino, so which is right to express your opinion?

For me personally, the possibility for someone who works in the casino is experiencing very small addiction, but it is not impossible that there are also some people who work in casinos can be impulsive in gambling activities that cause addiction.

[Zoomic]

That person who becomes a gambling addict simply because of his work environment already has a problem controlling his greed for money. He is being paid some wages or salary, while subject himself again to excessive gambling? Ofcourse he has seen lots of people walk into the casino cashless and walk out of the casino with lots of money, hence the need to try his luck too even though he has no experience on the right strategy to use.There is no guarantee that he would stop gambling if he resigns from his job because the greed is still there.

The best advice is for him to stop paying attention to customers' wins and discipline himself to stop gambling completely for a while and if he won't stop gambling, he can then change his environment.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

he agreed to try it out from today and I'm yet to hear of his success as at now.

Update, I saw him yesterday and he showed me some evidence of funds deposited to his account on Saturday evening, he claimed he saved 1/2 of his tips as against 4/5 that were agreed(I can't tell because I don't know the actual total). But the good thing and what impressed me was his determination to get better and giving the strategy a try. He thanked me very much and I bought him a bottle of chilled beer to celebrate his little success. I hope he continues and doesn't relent.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I showed him some comments from this thread so he'll see for himself that he started off his employee's activities on the wrong foot.
He still argued that if he doesn't gamble, he wouldn't be able to entertain his clients well and give them meaningful suggestions from his experience that brings about some of his tips.

Good thing is that he's starting to take things easy, I didn't ask him to stop gambling entirely because I know from experience he'll not agree easily, he's changing and that's more important.

The only thing that can make you work in a physical casino and not gamble is if you are restricted by the shop's terms and policy not to gamble and also if you don't work there for a very long time.

I have had a few friends that worked in a land base casino and when I asked them same question, exactly what u said above is what they respond to me. In land base casino, there are games you might see as to be simple but the moment you are playing and winning, your attention can be carried away and you will still lose every profit you made.

I believe that it's very possible that one can work in a casino and not become an addicted gambler but it's not possible to work there and not stake on a game or make a single bet.

I think not everyone can hold back their curiosity even though they know about the algorithm applied by the casino to every game provided, and maybe not all workers there know that overall the games provided are only to benefit the casino where they work. There are two possibilities that can happen to someone who works in a casino, first they fall into gambling or become someone who is active in gambling because they are unable to resist the temptation of the atmosphere in the casino especially when they see some visitors who have won big, and the second possibility is that they will not touch gambling at all even though they work in a casino, which is because they already know that the system in the game is designed only to benefit the casino itself which makes the idea of ​​making money in gambling impossible, but if the intention and goal are only to seek entertainment then maybe that's okay.

I rarely or have never seen people who work in a casino and dont gamble. They are the ones who eventually become so addicted to gambling after some weeks of working there. The sad truth is that they can resist gambling because they always see people gambling, winning and losing every day they are in the casino and sometimes they are friends to these people. If they do not want to gamble today, a friend or someone in the casino might pressure and persuade them to gamble on the same picks assuring them that it is a good pick.

This is in accordance with the theory that the environment will change your mindset and actions, basically it is very difficult for someone who is in a gambling environment not to gamble, various kinds of invitations must be there, as well as he works in the casino must understand the technicalities and games in the casino, it is common I have noticed from many gamblers who work in casinos.

Except if someone has good self-control despite working in a casino, but people like that are very rare.

You are basically right and I agree with you, I could compare this with some of us on this forum who promote gambling casinos through our signature ad spaces, most of the time, it's really hard to be wearing a casino's signature without gambling once in a while, specially when the campaign requirement states or added that posting in the gambling board is a mandatory task or requirement, you discover that it's really impossible to effectively and meaningfully contribute to the discussions on the gambling board when you have not tried gambling yourself, so, to achieve that, one have to get involved in gambling even it's with small amount and once In a while.

So for sure, it's hard, or should I say Impossible to find someone who is working on a casino who does not gamble, as much as I believe it's actually possible (for those who are well determined), but it's completely rare to see.

Totally depends on someones control because on the moment that you would really be working on a casino then it would be likely that you would really be getting interested on trying out your luck too
specially if you have seen someone do able to win up a significant amount of money or winnings on the time that they do gamble. You would really be that also thinking that if they do able to hit then
why cant you?. It is really just that depending into a certain individual on this case because not all would really be having on the same mindset when it comes into this aspect. Self control would really be the key on here but not to generalize all on which there would really be those people that despite on working on a casino or gambling place but still able to resist on playing because they've seen that they are really that
losing too much and only a few would really be able to get out and make those winnings on which everything would really be that according into someones extreme luck in most cases.

It's possible but it requires a lot of discipline or maybe if that casino employee is traumatized when he sees a lot of gamblers losing their minds whenever they get wrecked.

But it will be hard. Most employees will probably gamble the other way, perhaps online. They might also try it if they see some gamblers win some good amounts while they are working.
I think it's better if they learn something from all the gamblers that they will serve because it's always the losing side for the gamblers and the house always win and I bet they will come to realize that reality while they are working for them.

[Sandra_hakeem]

 Very well... This is a perfect topic for me I guess... How did I even get to miss this on tracks?...

I was previously a cashier in a casino house - I think I've made references to this story in almost every post I make and, it should be a common knowledge by now.
It's possible to be a cashier and not gamble. I haven't gambled on my own/ for myself... We had a rule in our stall - no cashier is permitted to wager for themselves as that can run the company on a big loss..
I heard a couple of stories that warranted the boss to improvise, asking everyone to present a guarantor.

I do agree with this on which this is really indeed right because even if you are really that a worker or employee on a casino but doesnt mean that you would be also playing.
Just like on what you have said that they are aware on how gamblers losing up their money and its impossible that you wont really be seeing  your boss laughing because of the profits
that they are making with those gamblers who do keep on losing and this is why it would really be that make yourself wary or aware that its never been good on dealing up yourself on doing gambling.
I do agree that it will really be that a matter of control and discipline towards yourself because if you dont have that control then you would definitely play.

Being an employee doesnt mean that you would really be also a player. You would really be surely thinking that it is really just that a waste of money
and you are really that working for earning money but if you are gambler at heart then you would be playing but if you are really that hating on wasting
money then it would be normal that you would be not that liking on playing because you do know on what are the risks.

That's true, working in a physical gambling casino exposes a person to excessive gambling addiction. I had a friend that once worked in a physical casino hall, he regularly makes alot of money from it, but usually spent all the money he has made back to Gambling. He said that when ever client wins a game and he pays them, some will give him 1 to %5 of their win as form of showing how happy they are, sometimes the left over money from a won amount from different people will sum up to a reasonable amount which he will still use all and bet including the bankroll in their gambling physical shop due to addiction. Sometimes his boss would not pay him because of gambling addiction. He keep on repeating it till his boss fired him, that's how he was free from such addiction. Now he no longer works in a gambling Shop.
