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

[taufik123]

I would never gamble in the casino where I work (besides it should be at least not allowed...)
I don't think it's a normal thing in general. Those who work in a casino know very well what the real odd of wins and how it works this business

Employees are prohibited because they also already know how the system works, so they will never gamble where they work.
In general and not just in gambling it will happen, never use the product where they work or maybe just at the beginning, and then it will not be done again.

Those who work in gambling will only benefit from the large number of players who come in, do not have to gamble, and each employee has their own salary, certainly will not be willing to let their salary go into gambling which in the end will only lose.

If the employees are gamble in the same casino, the owner should be happy because they will make money from the employees' loss. I think the owner have such rules because they worried if the employees can find a vulnerability of their casino and able to gamble without risking anything.

Many people will put their eyes on customers who do something suspicious and most people don't really care when the employees are doing something suspicious, they think it's a part of the job.

I don't think a brick-and-mortar casino owner would allow his employees to explore the casino's weaknesses for personal gain and it is very possible for those employees to be banned from playing by agreement. Employees are paid to look after and serve the needs of other gamblers/customers, so they will not be allowed to gamble (except outside working hours).

Of course, there are rules agreed upon by both parties both casino owners and employees. It could be that casino owners use their employees as bait to attract a lot of interest from other customers with winnings, even though the winnings are illegitimate or just fake.

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.

There is this local saying that if you sell a particular food, there will come a time that it wouldn't freak you again but then again, this is money we are taking about. I think a casino knows and understand how risky gambling can be for people, they wouldn't allow their staffs to gamble while on work, their major duties are to attend to customers and make sure that everything goes well for them and if anyone found breaking the rule will be sack or suspended.

If I am employed to work in a casinos, I will make sure I don't used my money to bet, such thing go well and at the same time back fire. However, if get tipped sometimes by customers, I might want to do put some on games and see that is if the casino company is allow the staff to bet and they pay minimum wage for their staff. I learnt that some places doesn't pay upto minimum wage that's why tips are allow, so I will do that in rare occasions.

The managers are not always thereto strictly monitor and enforce those rules and it is harder to fish out the defaulting gambler since t is still the same process that it takes to play the game for the client and for himself, the only way they are being caught most times is during accounting and the balance is lower than supposed, during interrogations most of them owns up and are penalized. Those that can use their funds t gamble are always not caught and their finances keep diminishing and that is the case with my friend.

You know something big guy, I've always known that advise is easier when you are giving it from the outside, when you experience it firsthand, you might see yourself acting differently over time.

of course, their pay in my country is not even near the minimum wage, its way lower and it makes them want to try their lucks and increase their finances which most times works against them. The minimum wage in my country is much lower than my weekly wage in sig. campaign, I think about $45 monthly, so you can imagine their plight.

It's simple to decide because when principled yourself you would be able to work over there and still not gambling determining your interest.

I have a friend who is a staff in a local gambling site, she doesn't gamble when I asked her she said her interest is not to gamble there but to save money to sustain her family and save for her up keep, this made me saying that it depends on personal choice and decision to gamble or not.

Although it depends, if the person is already a gambler and got employed it could be very hard for that person to control themselves but if not a gambler then the person can be able to make savings without touching their salary or even think of gambling.

Individual principles are still influenced by the working environment, when we are in a certain field, knowledge and acquisition are relatively important but digging deeper, people realize many ways to exploit resources in their work, when this is clearly their advantage, with years of experience, thinking about a win in the casino is not an illusion but the nature of the work and passion is addictive. Addiction in any other area can be a good thing but addiction in gambling, low productivity and gambling environment becomes a place for us to destroy our lives.

[hedgeh0g]

I won't believe your friend who has an irresistible desire to play. It depends on each player individually and what is going on in his brain, and not on what kind of job he has and the fact that he constantly sees money. I am simply sure that there are those dealers and casino workers who do not play and do not place bets receiving their payments. At the same time, it is difficult to resist when people around us win huge amounts of money and start their new beautiful and carefree life. But we need to see those who lost, but usually many forget about them as if they did not exist. We need to notice losses and if we cannot do this, we will lose ourselves.

I think a casino employee could and most likely also gamble. but the gambling activities they do may only be to relieve stress from their work. not to make a profit. environmental influences must be big enough to make them gamblers too. they have experience and eventually will not be able to resist. but not as active gamblers. more of them must only seek pleasure in gambling which is done not for profit or even seeking victory.

of course, the situation experienced by each person is different depending on the character of the person. if there is a casino employee who is addicted to gambling. maybe it is bad for his career. their salary must be quite large, and it would be crazy if they also spent the money they got from the casino to play casino.

I don't know the law of your country but here in my country, most employees of physical casino are active gamblers. The reckless gamblers among them spend a large chunk of their salary in gambling and there is no law that prohibits them from gambling. The only people among those category that does not gamble much are the female employees and this is because women are generally more Conservative than men so they wouldn't want to expose their capital to risk. I do not support gambling by employees of a.casino but there is no law against it especially in my country.

You know the reason why most employees gambles is because they feel when they try their luck that they may win and another thing that makes most gambling employees play gamble is when gamblers are winning in that particular Betting shop, it entices them to play with the beliefs that they can win as well but whichever way it is I don't like it when employees are gambling because it can lead them to gambling with the company's funds and I have witnessed several cases of cashiers running cash shortages due to making attempts to gamble which doesn't end well between them and the owner of the betting shop so they should be more disciplined not to encroach the company's funds if they must gamble.

 In the past, female gambling workers don't gamble but in this modern days female gambling workers are even high gamblers than men because you know most women like flashy things and wants to look good always so they see gambling as an easy place to get quick money to buy their own needs.

In comparing between men and women then its true that boys are really that most likely be getting involved with gambling specially if they are really that a staff of a certain company or platform.
Not all people though would really be having this kind of approach though since there would really be still those individuals who could really be able to control and be able to have such discipline on the time that they would really be dealing up with something. Even myself could really be at least make assure that the money would be spent on doing gambling should really be just that minimal and wont really
be tending to add up more. Its not bad to gamble as long it would really be that in moderation.

We do know that when it comes to this aspect then surroundings or the place you are working would also contribute to the things that you could possibly be able to deal on with.
If you are really that interested to play gambling then it would really be just that depending on you.

I think every company will always want to set a standard that won't be abuse by employees. If casino workers really tell what will be the outcome of every game I don't think gambling company will even give them the freedom to play gambling. Know gambling company will even allow their workers to know what can be outcome of a bet because even if their is a rule that restrict them from playing, they can give  give people who are close to them prediction that will come out as a win.

Their may be rules set for casino workers not to play bet when they are at work, even with this rule I don't think if they know the result of every prediction.

Working in a casino ain't an automatic ticket to Gamblers Anonymous, alright? It's about discipline, plain and simple. Yeah, the environment's a temptation playground, but it's not some inescapable vortex of addiction. Sure, employees might dabble. It's like working at Google and playing with the latest tech, or being a brewer surrounded by craft beer. You're gonna test the waters, but that doesn't mean you're drowning

Casinos are built on allure, on pulling you into the action. Employees see it all, up close and personal. But let's not kid ourselves - exposure doesn't equal addiction. Some folks gamble to de-stress, and with the right mindset, it doesn't spiral out of control. We're all wired differently, driven by different things, and controlled by different levels of discipline. Not everyone working in a casino is betting their life savings on the next spin. Some are just there to do their job, clock out, and go home

I agree, and sometimes it can work counterproductively. Seeing gamblers lose large sums of money and encounter all the bad behavior after encountering a loss is enough to discourage you from gambling yourself. Just because you're working at a casino doesn't make you a gambler. Surely, the employees are familiar with the games and how they work; they've most certainly tried them themselves, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're actively playing. Even though it's a casino, the environment I described earlier isn't the most encouraging to try.

Casinos know that if they don't give rules to their workers they can misbehave by gambling excessive and that can put their business at risk. For this reason, casinos do have rules to keep their workers away from gambling when they are at work. After work, if you gamble at home that will not be a problem to anyone. However, there are some people that will not gamble even if they give them access to gamble at work. Just the way there are gamblers that lacks self discipline is the same way some of those casino workers are.

it is hard to resist gambling when you work in a physical casino, especially if you often find many players who win jackpots there, then your desire to play is even greater.

a friend of mine works in an online casino but now he is addicted to online gambling, at first he just tried it because he often saw players who won big, when he tried to play, unfortunately now he is addicted, it is difficult to stop him, the best way is probably to get out of that environment.

Well, it's most likely like that, my friend, the atmosphere or environment can really affect someone, even though previously you really didn't like it, for example, but in the end there is a big possibility for you to love the activity when you have a lot of time in that environment, for example because you are a worker at a casino, at least and no matter how small there will always be an influence from the environment where you are, especially the object of victory in gambling is money, and as you said that there is a big possibility for them to try it when they see customers succeed in winning big.

If what you said is true regarding your friend who is now an addicted gambler after he worked at an online casino, then yes, that means it is true that the atmosphere or environment has a big influence on a person's change, and I think if your friend wants to recover from addiction, the only way is that he must first leave the job.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

I think it's not just about control but more about how someone can understand it and also maintain awareness of the dangers of the risks that lurk, because that way I believe that it is unlikely for them to lose control or get caught up and carried away by the situation.

Yes, I grabbed a whole lot of sense from what you just said, and it's true what this individual may be lacking is self-control, because for the fact that the person O.P is referring to became addicted to gambling due to the fact that he was working in a casino, is a clear sign that that's the same way he would have continued gambling if he wasn't working in a casino. Because thou the environment a person finds himself may have influenced on a man, so for me, I think this guy was already into gambling before they got a casino good.

some time we may not understand better and try to throw blames at people for their habits and think its because they dont have self control only for us to later see that even us if in same shoes may sometimes not do any better rather we may suffer same fate, self control and discipline are two attributes that are not easy to posses at most point especially when we have to put in conscious efforts to get such done.

Yes, it's true that sometimes in life when we are thrown with tough challenges, our attitude is likely to change towards many things, of which trying a luck in gambling as a worker there is not an exception, but when such attitude turns to a habit, that's the area I'm trying to make emphasis here, because gambling sometimes is not bad, but when a casino worker gamblers to the point where he/she loses control over his spending, that's the point I'm driving to, as been an unhealthy practice.

some gamblers are actually disciplined but may have a driving force which arose from certain stuffs and they will start to behave in patterns that feels like they are not disciplined enough or lacks self control. gambling some times with certain needs in mind could be the problem some of these gamblers have got basically.

Yes, you made a good point in what you just said above, but one thing certain is that addiction do start from one day, and as a worker in a physical gambling environment, it is one unhealthy practice to be tolerated, which is still the main reason I'm trying to point out here.

It depends on person nature and attitude. There’s a lot of workers in the casino especially dealers don’t gamble since they preferred spending their day off outside the casino instead of gambling too since that’s already their working environment that they are used to on daily basis.

Also most of the casino workers has an extreme work shift that makes them have less rest  and more work. I’m not sure what’s your friend work in the casino for him to not getting enough of gambling but I personally don’t want to gamble anymore if I work on it in daily basis.

[Obari]

First of all, I want to answer that yes, it’s possible to work in a casino or a betting shop and not gamble and I’m not saying this out of assumptions as in now a girl that works in a betting shop for over two years now and still don’t gamble and everything is dependent of the worker and his principles.

Everyone wants more money especially when it seems they’re free money and money won and gambling offers that exact scenario but regardless, as a gambler, we should always learn how to gamble within our limits and not gamble what we can’t afford to lose.

[OgNasty]

I’ve met people that work in casinos and don’t gamble. I’m sure it’s fairly common. Some people just need work and will work wherever they can find it. I also think watching people lose their money day after day is probably a good way to keep someone from gambling. I know if I went to a place to earn money, I wouldn’t also risk losing it all there.
