I always thought that "big" company owners do not have time for all of this that easily, maybe they can take a break and go to vacation at times, but that's about it, not something that could be for too long. I get that it is hard and it may take a while, but for like 1-2 weeks a year they might, but for the rest of the year the yare working hard and I doubt that they will be able to do anything about it.
This is why I think it could be something that they could handle, and they probably aren't gambling day to day basis. This is true for big ones though, if you are a casino owner and your casino barely has any players, that means you have more things to worry about but also have a lot of free time and could do that, it should be a bit different situation and not this easy. I understand that they may not prefer to gamble either, but they at least have more time to gamble and should be fine, I do not think that it will be that much of a big news in the end.
CEOs of gambling companies betting. They run risky, lucky, and strategic businesses. So, do they partake? Perhaps it's more about understanding their business than gambling. Market risks, financial strategies, and managing large teams are all everyday gambles for the big fish in the gambling pond. Perhaps a casino floor is less exciting? They may stroll the floor, but they are more like guards than players. Smaller casino owners may have more time. Maybe they indulge, blending in, understanding their customers, games, and atmosphere. Market research is hands-on business, not just leisure. They breathe and live in their ecosystem, their livelihood. This deeper immersion may reveal a feel for the place and what drives the gamers better than facts. A different game, but as fascinating!
