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

[coolcoinz]

Great question, OP.
Is it possible to work in a bar and not drink alcohol?
Is it possible to work in a cigarette factory and not smoke?
The answer is always yes and many people manage to do that.

If your friend has a problem staying away from gambling and his casino work is leading him astray, he should find another job.

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.

Perhaps it's possible not to gamble at all or at least minimized it. I know someone who works on the casino, although not directly as a dealer or in the floor. But he is more on the back office. And he told me that they are not allowed to play inside as they are a employee.

Although it's possible that he can go outside and gamble online, but I do know that he is not really into gambling. So I guess he has a big self control and being a insider, he really knows what gambling can do to him and so he stays as much as possible.

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.

A gambling casino worker will be more knowledgeable and also have better customer relations. His experience will give him a better understanding of the game and customers' behaviour. His suggestions can either lead to gains or losses, so receiving tips is not certain 

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.

There is nothing financially or morally wrong with gambling. It could be a good source of entertainment and an additional source of income.  The only problem s when it is done excessively or uncontrollably.

I might be wrong but I guess that the reason why employees might be restricted from gambling might be to protect the business from fraud. These employees can easily connive with other workers to exploit the system through fraudulent means. It could also be a means to protect them from excessive gambling.

Working in a casino and gambling responsibly needs a high level of self-control. It's like working in a brothel as a young unmarried man and not having a sexual relationship with any of the sex workers.  Lacking this important quality might lead to unthinkable losses and frustration.

In general, as far as I know, casino employees are prohibited from gambling in the casino, even if it is outside working hours. I do not put my hand in the fire because it is so in all countries of the world but I think it is a general rule.

Another thing is if those same workers gamble in other places outside working hours, and I suppose that having it so normalized many do, but I do not see a direct relationship.

when they work in a field of course it does not mean they do the same thing. because I think there are some people who work of course it is a demand of their needs. for example those who do not smoke but because of their needs that must be met and there is only work in a cigarette factory, most likely they will take this job but smoking or not is a decision from themselves, if they do have a strong reason not to smoke then it is not strange if they are not smokers even though they work in a cigarette factory.

besides that we all have our own choices in determining everything, so even though we work in a casino it does not mean we like to gamble. also if compared to guessing it is difficult to determine which is more of these two things, whether they work in a casino and at the same time gamble or those who work in a casino but purely do not gamble at all.
I myself think there is a possibility that people who do not gamble even though they work in a casino, maybe even a lot.

I see it more simple - employees are so fed up with gambling routine at work, that they dont have much desire to gamble. Also gambling itself, as an entertainment, does not look interesting to them anymore. And as a source of money, they get salary and see how people lose and casino earn; I bet casino gamblers dont look on gambling as a source of income anymore.

That provably happen since for sure that they fed up with different stories including those bad things happen especially to their clients experience an addiction. So provably they know what is the possible consequences that's why they provably avoid to gamble and just participate in this activities since this is part of there work.

I know someone who works on physical casino and usually I see him doing fine relaxing in his free time.

But for sure people aiming to win when they play, but for sure they didn't seek for passive income in gambling since provably those people in this activity knows that winning is not really consistent so for sure they just try their luck to gain big.

I definitely agree to this also that he can  possibly stay away from gambling while working and everyone sure Will if they discipline themselves like you said,I know of a friend that works in some place as this and when he comes back home he shares his experiences to me and we talk over it too.

What he said was, almost all his colleagues are  gambling while working and they tend to loose some money cause sometimes they borrow from the companies funds to cover up and when be paid monthly stipends it's been deducted from there.but for him it's a loss and he can't try it,tho they get little tips from customers and all that and it's enough to tackle little bills and what he said that amaze me is that,he said working in such places create awareness to learn from Life..
And I know why he said this, definitely seeing different stuffs going on there it's an avenue to learn both Good and bad.

Some places drinking on the job would literally be a firing offence.   I've worked behind a bar and we were never allowed to have a drink even if a customer bought us one to join them.  Some very nice places would allow a long serving employee but the vast majority I dont think so.

Same applies to gambling, I doubt its allowed as it introduces complications and the question of bias or advantage.   If it was me personally and I was a blackjack dealer then that is the game I know best of all even while distracted.

  If Im out and in a casino thats the game I'd play, Im bad at learning new games fast and its then rarely profitable but a game you know off by heart from hours of dealing cards; arent you a master at that point and who doesnt like winning

Logically yes it makes sense, as you said that maybe they are already very fed up with the gambling activities in their workplace, but I also think that it is just a possibility, in the sense that when you do not feel it yourself then the boredom is not necessarily something you can feel, but if we talk about the system implemented by the casino that makes them always superior to the players then yes I also think that maybe when workers know about it then maybe they will eliminate their intention to get involved in gambling, or only gamble occasionally.

Actually I think there are many possibilities in that situation, when a worker cannot resist the temptation of the situation and atmosphere of gambling activities in the casino such as when seeing some visitors who have managed to win big then yes that can also be a possibility for them to fall into, we cannot ignore the idea that money is something we want especially if we get it easily, and another possibility is that maybe they will not touch gambling at all when they know about the system implemented by the casino in every game.

They would not because they would have seen many gambling lose more than they see people winning because there are always more losers than winners therefore they would not want to lose too by gambling but there is always going to be some workers that will think, they can do better than those gamblers losing but when they try gambling too they will confirm that gambling is not as easy as people think it is. People can do any work without believing in the work because some people do not care how their work is affecting the society but they only want to get paid for the work they are doing and go on with their life. Just as there are some people working in the bar but they do not drink or people working at fast food restaurants but they do not eat there instead cook at home.

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.

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.

It can happen in any context of human choice as a person can become addicted to any addiction. But in our opinion, a casino community team will never want to bet on gambling. The main reason is that they earn a lot of money from us. As many people bet on a game only a few will win and rest of the people will lose. Those who win will get several times the money and the rest of the money will be taken by the team. So constantly they are earning a lot of money due to which their gambling will continue even if they don't bet.

I believe casino workers understand gambling and its consequences more than we the gamblers because they will be enlighten and sensitized on it before they are being employed by the casino management in order to enable them focus on their work and stay away from gambling. There are people that will never gamble no matter where they work or their environment because they just don't like it as sees it as something sinful.

Let me have your thoughts on this.

I think that this could depend on the person.

I think that if I were working in a casino, I would see all the winnings but I would also see all the losses which would be enough for me to turn away from gambling. It is only a matter of self control and dedication to prevent yourself from all temptation around you. Not to mention that if you are trying to save up while working then you should definitely do everything in your power to make sure you don’t fall for these traps.

If your friend has a problem staying away from gambling and his casino work is leading him astray, he should find another job.

Good point and a great suggestion, but in countries like ours, there aren't enough jobs for the youths, so there's little or no guarantee for him to getting another job within the closest time frame, hence I didn't go that route since I don't have one for him myself.

Another truth is that dude's happy with his job, he enjoys his daily activities at the casino, he only needed help with excessive gambling and I provided assistance in that direction. Persuading him to quit the job outrightly without offering him a new one or financial support while he searches for a new one might look as though I want to render him jobless and he might even see me as an enemy of progress.

This is relative, evils are always there, and they are represented in any case by individuals, that is, these specific cases are not the average of the employees, you have a limited vision based on what you know, and generally if you surround yourself with mediocre people that is what you get.

I know a sister-in-law who has a degree in accounting and works for a casino, that has allowed me to meet the manager, dealers, support people, customer service and they are normal people, some are not even interested in gambling, what they have learned is by condition not by conviction.

If that is the case, you can suggest your friend to learn about controlling himself so he can stay away from the wanting of playing gambling. Working at casino have a big temptation to join with the other gamblers to win the games because he will see some gamblers can win some money by playing the gambling games. But he must realizes that if he really want to still playing gambling after he free from his job, he must have a strong self control to avoids from spending much money.

He must remember that he must fills his daily needs so he can still aware that he playing gambling to release his stress of his job. You can be besides of him after he end his job at that day and if he wants to playing gambling, you can watch him playing gambling and reminds him if he almost break his limitation. It needs a strong self controls to say it is enough to playing gambling for this day but I am sure he can do that and you can helps him to solve his problem.

This is a new occupation that you are proposing for me, in as much as I would want him to stop his bad habit, but I think this is to extreme a step for me to take regarding my convenience and availability, I'm a very busy person and wouldn't be having enough time to be babysitting a grown man every day at his place of work and also I'm running at the risk of even being influenced by the events of the gambling house since I was an addict myself earlier in my days and one of the ways I stopped my habit was to stop visiting physical casinos to reduce drastically the drive to over gambling in me.

I call him regularly to remind him of our agreement daily and check up on him when he should have gone to make the deposits. I think that is enough positive energy. I wouldn't complicate issues for myself while being of help to another person. Thank you for your suggestions though

Great analogies. It's possible, but it's risky and needs good self-discipline.

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

This got me thinking and I decided to share it here, is it not possible to work in a casino and not gamble?

Let me have your thoughts on this.

There are people people that work in bar that don't drink, there are people that do drugs that don't take the products they sell, it's all based on choice and lifestyle, some people are not into gambling naturally so it's very possible for them not to gamble even though they work in a bet shop or a casino, but majority of the people working there wouldn't be able to resist this lifestyle because it's very easy to get hooked or trapped in such an environment
