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 Roll Eyes

It's might depend according to places but the country I live in has a policy that a employee in a casino can't be involved in gambling in the same casino. Casino is a very demanding full time job and employee have no spear time to gamble on other casinos. There is chance that they might gamble online. This purely defence on individual preference but like every other work places I don't think they would be too keen to involve in gambling as they already know how the business works. If anybody believes that their work place is ruining their economics, they should change their job.
I am very aware about such restrictions on casino workers and their involvement in gambling activities right where they work. Its a good logical step to ensure a casino succeeds and also that the workers don't get involved in other customers affairs and thus redefine the relationship between worker and customer.

Even the workers understand how indulging casino games can be and are aware how much they must require to gamble till it becomes an addiction, so they choose to avoid gambling mostly at their work places which in this case is a casino, but would rather focus on their jobs or gamble elsewhere to last longer, gain more favors in their career and earn more from intoxicated gamblers or those who know how to give good tips to their best servers at a casino center.

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.

My sister has been working in a casino for 7 years, and she doesn't gamble. It doesn't interest her at all, she didn't gamble before that, and she doesn't even after all those years of working in a casino. It's a character after all... someone has a strong character and is not interested in gambling, so even working in a casino with all those games, people winning and losing large amounts of money, won't influence someone to change that about themselves.

But when it comes to me, I doubt that I could stand to work in a casino and not make at least a bet or two on some games... but I am degen. I simply couldn't watch others having fun without joining.

If there is any conclusion at all, it is that there are different people, and until someone finds himself in a certain situation, we cannot say how they would react and what they would do. Even if the casino has a policy that employees can't gamble, some of us would try to get around it... and probably get fired from that job.

The policy that restricts employees of casinos from gambling where they work is good. I think it will help to make the casino staff focused on their task because it requires attention and calculation. This will help them to avoid making costly mistakes that might affect the casino negatively.

It will also help these workers to avoid spending much of their wages on gambling. It will be easier for them to suffer from gambling addiction since they are in such an environment. But I don't think these workers would have any advantage because the system is fair and not easily manipulated.
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 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.
I have seen someone working at a gambling shop, and the same thing happens to him. The guy is being paid well, and whenever people win, some of them do decide to give him some money, but at the end, you won’t know what the guy does with those money, he will still end up begging for money sometimes, so with time, I got to know what the guy do end up gambling with whatever he makes. Immediately after he is given money, he will decide to gamble with it, hoping to win.

I told him that it's possible to save part of the money and gamble with the rest and this was my strategy.
It’s not really easy just as you said. Most of them do see gambling winners frequently, and they are motivated by that, they believe if they keep on trying, maybe they are going to hit a jackpot.

Gambling is very easy for a person working in a casino company. Since they are always there they can conduct gambling anytime.

How is that possible because if a person is doing a job in a casino, then he has to focus on his work and not gamble on his own. Also, gambling is not free and if you say he can gamble all day, will a person doing a job have so much money to gamble  Huh I don't think so, otherwise why he is doing a job then.

If he loses regularly there I don't think he would have any problem conducting gambling.

I think the algorithms for a gambler working in a casino and ordinary gamblers are same. So you have no advantage working in a casino and you will only win the games based on luck and no other factor will contribute to it.

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.

Honestly, I don't know whether the person in question was involved in gambling before he worked at the casino or not, but what is certain for me and in my opinion, no matter what, the point is that the environment and atmosphere in the casino can really make someone who doesn't gamble become an addicted gambler, especially when they can't control themselves and also when they don't understand the fact that the casino will always be the superior party.

And on the other hand, maybe your opinion could also be right that the person might have been involved in gambling before he worked at the casino, and the point is for me, whoever you are, regardless of whether you are a casino worker or not, I think it is unlikely for you not to have self-control along with some other limitations when you do have a true understanding of what and how the chances of winning and the risks actually are.

Let me have your thoughts on this.

People that sell weed and some smoke things don't do it but they sell and it's not because it's not healthy they do it but because it's addictive and expensive for them when they try it. Imagine yourself been a owner of making money from the bet shop and then you wasted the money to gamble and you win nothing, the pain will be unbearable and you wouldn't be able to open the shop the next day because in my place where there I no light, you will have to use power generator which means you need fuel.

To avoid all this temptations, some owners of this betting shops employed people to manage it for them since all games are been recorded and can't be deleted, form of stealing and cheating the owner wouldn't be possible. This way they don't have to even stay at the shop, they only come for inspection in the morning and after that, they show up when the representative is ready to close the place and do accounting of that day bets.

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.
Yes, this is actually true because we do know that each person would really be having their own levels on how they would really be controlling themselves in speaking about on the things
that they are really that dealing with. Doesnt matter if that particular thing is in front of you or you are working into or not, it will really be just that depending into someones control because if you do find yourself having no control and would really be that wanting or liking to deal with the things on what you are current working on, then high chances that you would really be doing the same and this is would really be that just normal. This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that wary on the things that you've been into because not all would really be having such control.

If the things faced are still something reasonable to do in the sense that they do not have the potential for bad impacts in the future, then yes, it is okay to make a decision to engage in the activity, but if it turns out that from a rational point of view it is indeed something that can be dangerous, then clearly taking precautions will always be much better than regretting it when it is too late.

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.

You are really that right and this is why we cant be able to judge up directly that a certain person would be addicted or dealing up with something just because its part of their work
or something that could be that seen on their workplace. There would really be those individuals who would really be able to make out such control and discipline towards their decisions.

When you do work on something then it would really be giving out that kind of influence on a certain individual about whether they would really be dealing up with it or
would really be simply be able to skip out because they are already are about on the risks involves and potential condition that they might faced on. We do know when it
comes into this aspect on which each person would really be that different on decisions and choices among things into this life.

Gambling is very easy for a person working in a casino company. Since they are always there they can conduct gambling anytime. But if such a person is addicted to casino then there can be more dire situation for him. Because when others leave the casino they are temporarily released but it may not be easy for the individual casino staff. I think since he has good earning source he can earn a lot if he tries. But this requires patience. He must retain the tips he receives from those who win there. Your advice is correct that if one allocates a portion of his income to a fixed deposit or regular deposit and spends a small portion of his income on casino then he will get rid of the bad influence of casino on his personal life. If he loses regularly there I don't think he would have any problem conducting 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?
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 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

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

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

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.
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.

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.
