Topic: Casinos Should Also Be Prepared For Health Emergencies (Read 814 times)

The experiences of every single person may vary, but in my experience a big hotel always has some medical staff on their installations in the case anything happened, this way by providing medical treatment as fast as possible they can improve the chances of survival in the case a medical emergency happened.

The casino in question is a luxury resort with more than 2000 rooms, so most likely they had medical staff which could have helped this person, and yet precious minutes were wasted as no one realized what was going on.

Maybe they want to experience and gain experience from gambling, which is normal for them. But they don't predict what will happen while gambling because they can experience surprising events that can shock them. They won't know what kind of incident will happen to them, so it's best if people with a history of serious illnesses like heart disease don't need to go to casinos to gamble. We don't know whether they will be fine while gambling or whether they will have a heart attack like that person experienced.

But casinos do need to provide medical personnel at their place of business so that if there are things like that, they can handle them immediately and it's not too late. This will be very helpful for patients even though the casino will not allow them to come to its casino if it knows they have a history of certain diseases. Casinos also will not check their customers one by one before they enter the casino because that will create long queues and make customers uncomfortable. It is best for everyone who wants to go to the casino to ensure their health first so that nothing like that happens again.

Well, a person who has health problems, because depending on the type of problems, it is not advisable for them to be in a cano, obviously in a casino there should be at least a small pantry of emergency medicines, because it is obvious that it can sometimes give a headache or something like that, but of course a person who, for example, suffers from tension or something like that, well, emotions can make their tension go up or down and that is difficult, because a person who suffers from tension will get them. They can make that happen and it is dangerous, not only because it is wrong but because heart attacks can occur, perhaps that is why the question is whether in casinos there is at least a little despite it, because it is always necessary to stay in a place where They can give you at least first aid and prevent something bad and ugly from happening, then in this order of things things can happen as a preventive measure, and the truth is I have never asked myself that, in fact something like this should exist for the emergencies, at least before an ambulance arrives or something like that, so that a person can be treated then in this order of things in every casino there should be a paramedic or a nurse who can tend to a person in the middle of an emergency, because It is true, with a blood pressure monitor, with devices to measure blood sugar to avoid strokes, especially in older people when they are going to play and they are the ones who are most likely to suffer from these things. Of course, currently many young people can also suffer from the strain.

I say that it can be tension because it is a very common problem that can be increased due to a person's symptoms, it is not for anything else, however I can think that any person could also get some fever, or feel bad, and can The idea is to give him immediate attention so that when he gets to the hospital or something like that, it will be easier, because the temptations will always be there and we don't know when we might suddenly get sick.

Do they have paramedics that can actually subdue the actions on cardiac arrest?? I've not heard anyone survive from its peculiar attack before - are there means for that now??... maybe I'll have to look up.
Yeahhh, it's also important and I believe we had a similar topic few months ago and people also speculated the same thing too... Atleast a standby paramedics or maybe an ambulance can possibly curb the situation buh, this isn't rampant anyways...

If you do find yourself on having some problems when it comes to health related then why would really be making yourself that getting involved with it since you know that gambling thing could generate out that potential impulsive kind of approach when it comes to winning or losing event on which emotion would really be at its peak.If you do have that hearth issues or whatever that correlates with this thing then you should really be avoiding things which would really be able to trigger out that health condition and its true that you are the ones who do know about your body and it would really be just that normal that you should really be that mindful about those things which it would be putting up your life at danger. Casino platforms or businesses are really just that ran off on providing that entertainment and it isnt something that you could expect that there would really be some clinic inside to cater out with those gamblers who do have some health issue or some attacks on the moment that they do play on the vicinity.This is why i dont really see that they should really be blamed because they dont know if a particular person does have some health issues in the first place on the time that they had entered the venue which they arent held accountable on what happened.

Well, I also believe that there are a lot of people in the gambling hall, so,,, nobody will keep quiet when someone is dying, and overlook the victim before he dies. That means all the people in the gaming center should be held responsible because they saw it coming and they kept quiet, but if they didn't and they tried their best, still the victim passed away, which means nobody is responsible. Besides, I believe the victim already knew about his health issue before he still went ahead and gambled till death. Moreover, outside first AID treatment and all the rest, a CCTV camera is supposed to be in a gambling hall so, in case of anything, they can easily investigate and know what caused it instead of asking around what happened, because a lot of people that witness what happened there will tell lies.

Well, if the family of the victim wants money, the director of the casino should just give the little he can afford just for trouble not to come, besides, the casino center is given them money and if government close down the casino, they will not get any gains again.

Health is wealth as they say so yeah. Prevention is also better than care so indeed that it should start with us first. The people or the establishments around us are only a secondary, just in case the issue still occur. It's easy to have a basic health/medical remedy and equipment for it eg. medicine are not that expensive so almost any person or establishments has it. If it's not enough, I'm sure they also have cell phones or land lines, which they can use to call the nearest ambulance.

I don't think they can take it to just watch and not respond when someone had collapsed or almost dying, and they can also be blamed for it if they do, so we can expect that they will do the right thing when those bad situations happened.

Of course, nobody anticipates a casino turning into a mini hospital. But the real issue is more complicated than just bandages and cleaning supplies. A medical emergency among the slot machines isn't just about the frightened person; it's also a management litmus test for the casino as a whole. Both card shuffling and emergency protocol shuffling demand dexterity

Now, remaining composed in the face of a crisis is expected. But isn't that odd? Paradoxically, the very organization that thrives on high stakes and risky situations must show composure and predictability under pressure. The irony, ah! Imagine a gentleman playing blackjack while sipping a martini when suddenly someone passes out. The atmosphere of the evening can be created by an orchestra of mayhem or by a skillfully orchestrated response

If a casino has a staff that can give first aid to anyone who happens to go through a medical condition or an emergency that is enough, in my opinion. They obviously can't open a hospital branch within the casino and the patient will need to be shifted to a hospital if the problem is severe and isn't controllable through the initial first aid. The staff should be quick with such matters by calling an ambulance and sending the patient to the hospital for treatment.

Casinos also need to make sure that things like these are handled with care so that the environment doesn't get disturbed and there isn't chaos within the casino which will obviously take the fun away for other gamblers that are there maybe to have a beer and make a few bets after work or something.

Although I agree that physical casinos should have their medical practitioner on duty so that if there’s heath problems that suddenly occur, then the patient will receive immediate medication. However, putting the casino at fault is probably less reasonable. The gambler should be more responsible of his health condition more than the casino. If he thinks consistent gambling will definitely trigger his condition, then he should be responsible enough not to engage in physical casinos but prefer to just do it online. At least his family can immediately cater to his health needs.

Because it's a rare occurrence should have triggered a fast attention to the man, its possible their thoughts wasn't related to health issue. I didn't read the article, but if the man was drunk or was offered some drinks. How will the dealer know, he is having cardiac arrest? Maybe they'll think he's dozed off, due to high intake of substances and felt it could be just sleep or fatique. Nobody takes death as a joke, the responsibility is not for the casino alone. Assuming people in the casino knew what the man was passing through, it's an obligation to anyone to call the ambulance, if the casino doesn't. Such things can lead to the establishment of medical kits in the casino. Before such medical problems happened maybe it's their first time experiencing this, the casino may not have prepared for the unexpected break down of the man. Therefore may not have made provisions for that. However, it's encouraging to see a casino that is ready to meet the needs of their customers. Not only offering them drinks, but pay attention to the health conditions of their players. 

I read it slowly, even though I didn’t complete it, but what I understand is that when this happens, the person stays in the casino  ignores the man when the thing happens, and that is when the heart attack gets stronger. Instead of him taking him to the nearest hospital, he leaves and continues what he is doing, which, even though he is not the one to blame, they will do because that is not what he is supposed to do and they will say he is responsible for it, which will get him into trouble at the end of the day.


It will be good if casinos have a first aid box, but specifically talking about what I see in your link, this is heart attack, and even if the casino has this first aid kit, they can’t manage this problem at that time because we know how serious heart attack is, and they will not get anything that will help the person at that time because heart attack is supposed to be taken care of by a professional doctor, not a casino first aid kit, despite the fact that it is a very serious issue for human health.

However, we don’t need to blame the casino, in my opinion. The only thing that this casino did wrong was ignore the man and leave him there. That is where they will need him in this discussion. Because the casino is where you wish to go, nobody called you to come and bet. Just as if you want to go and buy something and on your way there you have an accident, will you blame the person owning the shop? Nah, mate, you will not, as he didn’t call you there. So I think the same thing is applicable to this one too.

There's a negligence because they didn't check immediately on this gambler's condition and continued as if nothing happened. It's possible that they didn't notice, but there's a security cameras so why they missed? That's why it's not surprising for the family to blame the casino for this incident.

Anyway, the gambler had a cardiac arrest and it's not an easy condition wherein an emergency kit can handle. But if only they're fast to react and immediately take him to a hospital for a proper medication, the family might accept what happened (even it's the worst) and won't file a lawsuit against the casino.

And that is why I think the casino will end up paying money to the family of the deceased as they do in fact hold some blame, we must not forget that casinos are the place where you will find on average the most cameras around the world and a great deal of those cameras are on the tables.

So it is not as if they have the excuse that this happened at the bathroom where no a single member of the staff could watch this person being unconscious for such a long period of time before calling emergencies.

You are right, I feel sorry for this man, may his soul rest in peace, but the deceased is also to be blame too, because health issues don't just pop up instantly, they show signs of early stages, funny enough this man might be aware of what's happening in his body yet he choose to go inside a casino to gamble, some people don't care about their health like they care about making money and their jobs.

I can't also blame those siting next to the man when the problem occurred, they might not have the potential to do anything, skills are different and not everyone knows what to do when someone has an attack.

My country situation in this aspect is even more concerning, people here always stay away from problem by all means, if someone is dying on the street they won't want to help, why? Once you help the person you are in trouble, you will probably end in the police station if that person died, your name and information will be taken from you, you could also be the one paying all the bills on this person, or you can be framed as the one responsible for taking the persons life.

That is a crazy story and the casino definitely has to accept some blame. When there is a dealer sitting right in opposite of you and you are having a medical emergency, he should be helping you. It's one thing not to immediately nothing if something is wrong, but for a person to not move for 15 minutes is a long time during quick games like Black Jack. I would have expected the dealers to be trained to spot such issues, also usually people sitting down at the table are playing. It's not like you can sit down at the table and take a nap. It's true that there are a lot of crazy people in Las Vegas, I have seen so many drunk people in the casino where I would think that security should come and ask them to go to their room to sleep it off. Mostly the people I have seen in front of the slot machines where there is not a lot of casino employees working. Having such a tragedy take place at a blackjack table seems wrong that it wasn't noticed earlier. Just because casinos are places for entertainment doesn't mean there can’t be medical emergencies and it's all about getting help in the first 10 minutes to help the patient.

Sixteen minutes is precious for the patient because it could save his life and he can still be helped and taken to the hospital. I once watched a video about medicine where there was a patient who also had a heart attack and someone who worked as a doctor immediately took the necessary action to help the patient. After everything was finished, the doctor said to the visitors at the place that for them to help the patient, it had to be done as soon as possible. It couldn't be too late because if they only had a few minutes to help the patient, they had to be able to use it well so that the patient could be helped.

And if the casino had professional media personnel, they could still have saved him and taken him to the hospital. Well, everything has happened and this is a valuable lesson for casinos so that they can immediately provide professional medical personnel who are expected to be able to help patients.

I dont see for them to be blamed on the incident knowing that health issues cant really be known but its not really that bad on having that kind of suggestion on having that first aid or health personnel's that would really be

on the vicinity or the said venue on which if these cases do happen then there would really be that immediate support somehow but knowing that cardiac arrest is something a serious condition or situation
then it would be still somewhat pointless. I dont see for the casino to get blamed and to those who had been left by the victim doesnt have the rights on claiming about those money unless if those arent spent or
speaking about winnings then they do have the rights but asking about loss back then it cant be possible.

But for the suggestion on having some health personnel then it wont really be that a bad add up knowing that situations like this could really happen.

Unexpected things often happen without us realizing it, but in this context I agree with your opinion that if we have a health problem then it is better for us not to visit a casino before we have completely recovered from the disease we are experiencing. Well, basically the casino owner only provides basic equipment just in case a visitor experiences something bad like a heart attack.

But behind that, everything that happens to casino visitors, such as dying in the casino or having a sudden heart attack, is of course not the casino owner's fault. And the casino owner cannot be sued because they only provide a fair game and get a license from the government so the victims will not win if they sue the casino owner.

This makes the casino seem even more ruthless than a prison when it comes to medical issues. Some individuals are aware of their limits when it comes to gambling at a casino, but others may not realize that sudden illnesses can strike anyone, endangering their well-being. Even in the best of circumstances, we can be threatened by sudden heart attacks or respiratory distress.

What would be preferable is for the casino to provide emergency healthcare facilities for its visitors. Additionally, visitors should be adequately informed about matters pertaining to their personal health. There's nothing wrong with fostering a sense of humanity within the casino, especially when it concerns someone's life and death.
