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

[pusaka]

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.

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.

Those who work in casinos should already know how casinos work, so that their interest in gambling will also decrease. If they can see people who can win big, then they should also be able to see many people who lose big, because I'm sure there will be more people who lose than people who win.
So you're right it will depend on them, whether they will be able to learn from what others have experienced or they will be part of the experience. I think they will also gamble once in a while, but if they get addicted and things like that, I don't think they can take advantage of what they can see from many people when working in a casino, because that should be a lesson to suppress so as to avoid gambling addiction.

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.

What do you mean by it wouldn't freaked us again? But from the word freak, it is we will get surprised or get shocked, up to the point that we will avoid it, which I find very weird as a connection to the first sentence that you gave out. Basically if we are selling a food, we will also taste test it and then we will also ate that food. It is inevitable. The same goes for other types of business or work, I mean as long as we are exposed to them, we will definitely consume them.

Maybe there are only some exceptions if we are talking about hazardous stuffs because they are of course deadly once ingested in our body. Not just on a casino but on any working environment, we are also not allowed to play during our working hours, unless only if our managers or bosses say so. Even if we are not working in a casino, we are still trying our best to not use our hard-earned money on the casino games because we already know how devastating they are even if our only intention for a while is to unwind. If we got a tip from our customers, it shouldn't changed our decisions. We must only be thankful, happy & contented, and just use the money on more important things instead.

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.

Well I know a few people that don’t gamble despite them being an agent for a gambling site. I won’t call the person my friend but we normally exchange greetings each time we come across each other and I am close to one of his friends and from a discussion we had he tend not to gamble because he has seen what gambling has done to so many of the people that comes to his shop to place a bet and how they would stay all through the day and gamble till their last money is exhausted.

He said the only thing he has done that he’d consider gambling is to use his money to help a customer place a bet (the one that has his win rate based on his observation) and then if it comes out well he’ll get a percentage from it but if it goes the other way he’ll get a refund from the person. That’s only when he bets not because he sat down to carry out an analysis and then bet on the game.

Well that's the point, and I think it should be the knowledge that people who work in casinos, especially those in charge of managing the system, at least I think they must also know about the amount of profit that the casino gets and also maybe how to make gamblers always lose, and as you said that should be a knowledge that can reduce their interest in gambling.

Basically if we look at it briefly then yes as many people often say that working in a casino will most likely make you a very active gambler in the sense of addiction because of the inherent gambling atmosphere, but actually when we respond to it using another way of thinking then we will find other facts where the conclusion is as we discussed here that knowledge about casinos that will always excel should reduce our interest in being excessively involved in gambling.

I have a relative who works at the casino, and she told me that employees Are not allowed to gamble in their respective casinos, but with other casinos, it would be okay. It could have been about knowing secrets about the casino itself, or they just don’t want to encourage it. I am just not sure, though.

Rules and policies will determine if it is possible or not.

If it turns out that they arent allowed to play then their owners are really that might just that minding about their workers possible gambling addiction or simply they do know if any secrets that lies behind their casinos on where they are working into. In about personal perspective then it would be that likely for a casino employee to have that high chance that they might be that become a gambler basing up on the
nature of their work then it will be that impossible that there's no time that comes up into your mind onto gamble. If its prohibited into the workplace then you would be finding out into other place too.
Actually this is really just that on personal choice because there are really things that despite on having that getting involvement or having work but there are ones who do able to avoid it out.

It is very difficult for someone who works in a casino but doesn't gamble, because he has to be familiar with gambling, and must know about other technical issues in gambling.

But the important thing in this case is the use of money, it depends on his own principles, and how he controls his money, if he budgets a small amount of money to do gambling I think he can still save, and he sticks to his gambling budget, environmental interventions can be overcome, such as the obligation to share tips and so on, things like this go back to personal management in determining attitudes.

The Terms and conditions for gamblers when trying to use online casinos don't end with gamblers, casino workers also have their rules and conditions too, they have rules that can't be broken and that's a distraction on duty, while you are to keep monitoring gamblers you shouldn't be focusing on gambling, this will end up getting you fired.

I had a similar experience before, someone I knew worked in a local betting house and he decided to place a bet on a match and he won very big, after cashing out he ended up losing his job, we all knew it was because he is a staff of the gambling company, they don't like that he joined the public and gamble, because the company is responsible for paying his salary every month.

This was a very long time ago, I am guessing the owner of the gambling business just hated the fact that his workers were also making money out of them, some called it hatred, and some called it jealousy.

You would really get fired on the time that you cant be able to do your job well. As an owner then you will really be thinking about it and thats why you would really be setting out those rules that they cant play
into the vicinity and since work and leisure time doesnt coincide then it will really be that understandable into this aspect. It will really be that basing up all about the agreement and terms between you as an employee and towards the employer. There would really be those agreements that wont really be need to be broken.

About spending about their salary then it wont really be that a concern for him/her since those workers will really be having that full rights on what they should gonna do into their funds.
If they would really be doing gambling then its their choice.

[Jody.Drummer]

Of course not everyone does the same thing even though they work at a casino, because I think maybe some of them who work there already know the rules that they are only unlikely to win so they don't need to think twice about this they choose not to gamble, besides I think everyone is not happy with gambling maybe some of them work at a casino just to meet their needs so they do nothing more than work.
Although maybe that makes them unable to resist gambling but I'm sure there are people who don't gamble even though they work at a casino, it's just that maybe the number is very small compared to people who gamble. Besides I don't think the casino requires its workers to spend their salaries at the casino where they work, that's ridiculous.

Yes, gambling is your choice whether you work there or not. I've seen a friend who runs a gambling shop as a manager but avoided gambling most time. He had full control over the activity and wagered a very small amount if he wanted to gamble. Is that not a human being too? It's all about how we can show restraint no matter how it comes calling. We should think about our lives and welfare first and that of those who are close to us. That money is too little to waste like that.

Are there other behavioral patterns that could be employed to reduce gambling excessively while working in a casino?

There is no big deal to discuss here other than for the gambler to face the reality of gambling, it's not where to get the riches they desire. It's either he continues and becomes miserable or he avoids gambling and takes his salary home for survival. If at all he must gamble, a very low amount is enough for it, it's greed and desperation that push most people into uncontrollable gambling and I blame them.

If they know that they can not win from the casino, they will choose not to playing gambling. If they work in a casino because to meet their needs, they should focus with their work and not trying to playing gambling. Even they already see how people lose control in a casino and makes the employee hard to control those who becomes mad and ruins something in that casino. That should makes them not spends their salary just to make more money because that will not easy for them so they better to saves their salary for their needs.
It depends on how those people can hold themselves by not playing gambling in casino and understand the effects that they can get from gambling. So they will not trying to playing gambling when that just give a bad effect to them.

[ajanwalker]

If most of the players in the casino where he works are losing money, the employee is afraid of losing money and does not play. If many players around him are making money, he may want to play so that he can also earn money.
I think gambling is a disease. If an employee has never gambled before, he can stop gambling, but if he has gambled before, he cannot stop gambling.

[Miles2006]

I don’t think I have observed something similar as this since I don’t visit the casino shop. At some extend it might be tempting seeing people play and win mostly when a person win on regular basis, secondly I think anyone working there should know the necessary things associated with gambling and odds so in essence they’re gamblers from start but the only thing affecting them they get to gamble regular with their money. Self control and discipline can actually help any person in this situation.

I am actually more curious about the rules of casino employees allowed to gamble or not in the casino where he works, unfortunately did not find an answer regarding this rule.
It is indeed difficult to just work in a casino without becoming a gambler, whether an active gambler who does spend quite a lot of gambling or just a seasonal gambler, because gambling is a very tempting activity, especially since he will see people who win every day even though there are more losers.
There is no other way to survive in that job by controlling yourself because without self-control all the money will be spent just for gambling no matter how big the salary or tips are if you continue to follow the desire to gamble then all the money will be used up and maybe even go into debt, if you still can't control yourself then looking for another job is highly recommended before finally falling into an addiction that can endanger yourself.

This is normal rule in casinos since for sure that they don't want to deal with their people since it will create a controversy especially if they win huge amount. We can't deny that there are people will create any bad stories against the casino and will say that only their employee is winning in that places that's why maybe this one contribute to the factor on why casino didn't allow their workers to gamble in their casino.

Also rules maybe different to other casino but usually that is what I see on the casino I go. But also I don't think the worker might also like to gamble anymore since they are dealing with gambling activities whole day and for sure they want separation of their job  to their private life so provably that majority of casino workers will just take a rest and prepare their selves to work on next day.

Well, thats right anyway, it is often said in my place that when a road is good, then many people will want to pass through that road, and the popular one I believe many of us are very familiar with is "one good turn deserves another".

Many of us can attest and agree to the fact that we become interested in gambling after seeing how much someone close to us won, like myself, I never used to like gambling for some personal reasons, but after I meet a guy in my work place who was a gambler and also become my friend, seeing how much the dude made from gambling one time gave me chills, and by the next day, I was the one who asked him to teach me how to gamble because I wanted to make such type of money too.

So, when one stays around those who gamble and do well in it, they chances of them gambling as well is very high,.

Casinos do not require employees to participate in casino games but they always attach promotions and discounts to their employees, which is equivalent to encouraging employees to burn the money they earn from the casino to pay back the casino. Although the staff can avoid these temptations, it is just a normal emotion, as long as people have pressure and sadness, combined with a little alcohol, casino staff will become players when they know how to indulge here. So when working here we need to have a neutral feeling and ignore the external pressures that are aimed at our body.

I’m not sure if this is really true but I’m skeptical if this will be conflict of interest to offer bonuses to employees just to encourage them to gamble while they are working already on their own premises?

If I’m a casino employee I will be bored and scared to play already knowing that house always win while I keep seeing gambling game on daily basis on the casino side. This is new to me and it will be helpful if you can provide reference article that contains this info.

Nevertheless I understand that human greediness will always make us want to gamble at some point even though we are already used to gamble.

It's like this: we all know the dangers. Casinos are constructed on temptation, so, people find it difficult to resist that kind of influence. Its like a soccer game in which the goal is wide open and the ball is constantly at your feet. You should definitely pass, but occasionally you simply cant help but take that shot.

Those casino workers are right now in the middle of it. Every day they witness the activity, the wins, the defeats, the complete rollercoaster. Its like having a hundred balls flying at once in front of a goalie. You may save 99, but one that passes you by? That is the one you find most vivid in your memory. Yes, conserving your pay is wise as well. These people, though, operate under great strain. A little gamble can occasionally seem like a release, a means of escape from tension. One becomes addicted to the adrenaline.

Let me have your thoughts on this.

There is a saying "your environment influences you", it happens in most cases but it does not 100% true because it will always depending on how we control ourselves.
It is possible to not become gambler although we are working on a casino, it depends on what is our main purpose why do we work on the casino.
Lets say our main purpose is to have good income from the job only, just stick/focus on it and keep it on our mind as hard as possible.
No doubt that temptations will come sooner or later especially when we see some people win huge amount of money then we start thinking to be as lucky as them.
This is the hard work for us, to control ourselves from those temptations, once we can do it then we will not be influenced/affected.
