I know a drug dealer who does not take drugs but though has been arrested by the police.

It is difficult for a gambler becoming a physical casino attendant later on to resist gambling but a non gambler being a physical casino attendant can always resist gambling if he is disciplined and contented with his payment from the casino.

Learning by the experiences of what happens to the clients he attends to such as the addicted gamblers and those who has lost uncontrollably is a big warning for such casino attendant to stay off gambling.
It is about determination to always stay away from temptations so also, such a casino attendant can also gamble without negative effects with the awareness of others being victims but those with a highily greeds would never resist the Irresponsible gambling manners because they are ignorant to addictive potentials that gambling can be attracted.

There is no reason why you should necessarily become an addicted gambler while working in a casino (i.e. being part of the staff). Moreover, if you have developed an addiction, you will most likely be fired as soon as it becomes known to the management. Can we say that working in a casino encourages gambling and the development of an addiction? It all depends on the worldview of the casino employee himself. If he is not immune to addiction, then most likely he will gradually bet more and more of his money. The most important thing to do in such a situation is to simply set a limit for your spending on the game.

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.
This scenario is a good example to proof that if you will be spending time in a X environment you will become like the people living their (gamblers) but that's not necessary as if you have control on yourself and firm believe that you can keep yourself away from gambling and can still serve their like as there are many things a person can do in physical casino and lesser in online casino.

I don't like gambling and my elders advices us not to work in such place because when you will be working their surrounded by people gambles then you can also get the thought to gamble as well. That's why they said it never good to be in such company where you have to fight with yourself all the time, that's why I don't even join gambling campaigns.

Actually it depends on how each person attitude is, indeed being in an environment filled with people gambling at all times can make the desire to be able to participate in playing and betting.
Whatever happens, everything is inseparable from ambition, desire and curiosity, especially in gambling which may also see some people who win big and become matter of interest in itself.
But if someone can control themselves and really suppress the desire to gamble to manage spending and using money well, then they will not get any losses even though they are always in an environment like that.

But one thing I want to question is whether it is true and permissible for worker in casino to place bets or gamble in the casino where he works, this is quite strange and is one of the things I want to know.

Gosh I wish I had that mentality of your friend. Imagine if I was exposed to meetings after meetings after meetings and I was actually influenced by it to do... well, MORE MEETINGS? Kidding aside, no, it's not an issue with the work, it's an issue with him. Pretty sure weakly blaming your work for your habits is wrong and can be a pretty bad habit in itself as well. First step is to acknowledge that his work has jack shit to do with his addiction, and next is to manage his funds properly.

I wouldn't deny that the start is influenced by his work though, especially emotions run high in casinos so it's no surprise if you were influenced by it. But after that? Solely on you.

The things you are do, it's always based of your activity and friend.

IDK, it's kinda hard especially for people who have gambling track. If you ask me, If the person have zero gambling track "YES and for people who have gambling track the answer will be "NO".

People who are having friend are gambling, still can get effect.

I think casinos have the rule to don't let their workers place bets, or not at least while their are under working hours. But for sure some of them stay in the casino after their shift to place some bets, and that's totally normal because if they see all day people making easy money for sure they want to try too. Even some casinos should have a rule to not let the workers gambler in their casino, it should be part of the contract they signed.

When i used to work on virtual casinos i was a gambler there too, and was sad to see some other employes losing all their payment on the site they worked to.
It seems like that, even though they can bet, maybe they do it outside of their working hours because it is impossible for them to do it during working hours because as far as I know, casinos run all day long so they have a big responsibility by not being able to ignore their work which they should continue to monitor. and with those who work in casinos, I think they will not be able to bet in the casino where they work, but maybe by using someone else's identity it can be done.

It sounds ridiculous if those who work in casinos but their income is used up for gambling, because in my environment when someone works in a casino it means they have rules or ways to win for sure even though it is also impossible, but are those who work in casinos the same as ordinary players when gambling? I mean their chances of winning are the same as ordinary gamblers who have no way to win for sure when they gamble in casinos.

I have a cousin who works in the industry. I think she's in the marketing side of things. 

One time, I saw her gambling on her phone but she told me she only spends cents for the whole day they feel the ick to gamble. I suppose it helps that she mostly does local card games so her bets last longer as oppose to myself who is into instant games like slots where I could lose my deposit much quicker lol

Honestly, it may be hard to not gamble if you're exposed in the industry but it's not necessarily a bad thing as long as you can control yourself and know your limits.

if you are there to work. then you won;t be able to gamble. i doubt the casino will hire you if they caught you gambling while on duty.

maybe if they are not on duty they will gamble. idk but casinos usually check their dealers most of the time whether they are conspiring with some players. they are closely watched by the guards. right?
Well, work should not be mixed with pleasures like gambling so if they can find time to gamble, probably once they're off from duty. Otherwise, they'll get caught and maybe kick out from their work.

Now, if you are working on a gambling casino, most likely you will also develop some gambling urge, and once it happens, learn to manage your emotions as well as your finances as well. To gamble also means to discipline yourself so you won't keep seeing yourself at the losing end and regretting.

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.

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?

Yup. Got a relative who waits tables in the casino and while the pay isn't that great for you to be able to have the gall to gamble, the added factor of seeing just how desolate people's lives end up when they lose everything in the casino game is more than enough to make her swear off gambling for life. And while yes, it does require some level of discipline to pull off, you gotta understand that everything requires some level of restraint and self-control every once in a while, gambling included.

So yeah, I highly believe that even if you're working for a casino, when you're subjected to seeing people like that everyday you wouldn't have any choice but to actually just live your life free from that kind of shit, this is the very same thing that keeps some people who work for customer service, away from that gig for extended periods of time, if not forever. Just being able to see how shitty things are for the other person is something else.

To be honest with you, I was going to say that it's absolutely possible to work in a physical casino without gambling, but upon imaginning all scenarios and circumstances, I got to understand that It might just be difficult to actually not get involved in gambling while working on such a place.
I mean, imagine someone coming in and winning money that even your whole salary for an entire year won't amount to, and when you look at the person who won this money, he or she is a person you are far better than, the temptation to try some games yourself will be way too high to resist.

But on the other hand, It can actually be possible with strong determination, desire not to gamble and will-power to back it up, it's gonna be difficult but if the person is firmly determined not to, I believe the urge will be summountable.

Depositing his monthly earnings is quite a good move not to spend his regular income. Now, as mentioned, he can already survive with the tips alone. In this case, he can very well spend those tips to his gambling as well as his daily expenses. At least, he can say, he has savings because of his monthly income and it won't be wrecked by his gambling activities.

Working in a casino is stressful, attending to gamblers, associating with problem players, and serving all their needs is a complete work load. Stress contributes to the reason behind casino workers' indulgence in gambling. It's abnormal to gamble as a croupier or dealer, at least not where you work.

But it's hard not to try out if they'll get lucky after seeing others celebrate their wins. Op's friend needs to learn ways of managing stress, to stop gambling excessively, or else he'll have a hard time saving money.

Simply, self exclusion if it is possible in the casino he is working with, which is essential if he wants to stop gambling for good without any excuses or plans, the casino also should provide this feature for the workers, to let them get full payment without wasting it, knowing if anyone gambles he is at high risk of losing, not to mention someone who is working there and more exposed to play for long term, which boost the chances of losing everything at the end.
It is surprising to me that a dealer or a worker there is gambling with his full awareness of the chances of losing money, so is it better to explain to your friend the concept which he is aware of, remind him of what’s gambling made more. Moreover, try to ask him about opening a closed account to put his money there for investment purposes to avoid gambling if he is addicted already.

Working in a casino can be very tempting, especially if one is surrounded by triggers and the urge to gamble all day. Some of the techniques that you had advised your friend to adopt, in order to reduce their gambling hours and smartly manage money, are good places to start. In order not to feel tempted to gamble every time one is short of money, it's important that a strict budget be set, and adhered to. Finding other activities or hobbies out of work that can preoccupy the mind from gambling as well is essential. It may be useful to have a friend or family member who knows about it and could remind in times of temptation of such weaknesses. If needed as well as talking over about strategies having a professional like a therapist isn't bad at all. Generating great ideas on how you could save more, while avoiding problem gambling, becomes achievable with discipline and also seeking professional support, even though working in a casino environment.

If I were a casino operator or I owned a physical bet shop, one of my criteria for employing new staff is that the most be gamblers. And to add to it I would have some kind of gambling addiction tests before employment. My reason for this criteria is that, I want a staff with the knowledge and experience of gambling, so that if a rogue gambler comes into the shop and tries to play a fast one with the machines or staff, they will be smart enough to detect it.  However, as long as you are on duty you must not gamble. If you do and get caught, you will be fired immediately. This is the reason for the evaluation to remove those who score high on gambling addiction before employment into the workforce.

If there is a clear rule prohibiting staff from gambling during work hours, I'll stick with it and will still stick with it, if there are none. I have to be professional always. Because it will tell on my next job

I have never worked in a casino, so I don't know if the situation and atmosphere of the casino will really always make me have a high curiosity to always gamble or not.
But for me and in my opinion gambling is a choice, everyone is free to choose, and when you don't include gambling in your list of favorite activities then I think it is unlikely that you will be involved in gambling even though you work in a casino. I understand that there will definitely be a lot of temptations that come to you, especially if you see one of the visitors who managed to win a big jackpot, but I think you will also definitely or have seen some gamblers who have problems such as running out of big money in a short time at the casino where you work.

Simply put, when I work there, I will definitely see various positive or negative things, especially wins and losses, along with setbacks, meaning that I will most likely know the risks, and also when I become a worker there, I will definitely know one of the reasons why getting a jackpot is very difficult, such as knowing the system that is set in each game, and that can be a big consideration for me not to become myself a victim of the casino.

It is very possible and I have experienced it myself, I have worked in a land based casino for 2 years with 12 working hours every day.
Your friend said "his work environment has exposed him to gambling" that's just an excuse as a justification that he can't save some money because he spent most of his salary on gambling.
In fact, he should be able to restrain his desire to gamble, because every day he sees people winning/losing there and hears sad stories about people who often play and lose there.

Your friend seems to be addicted to gambling, even if he works in another type of job, the story is probably the same.
If he still wants to gamble and has time to do so even though he has worked all day at the casino - he should only use the tips he received instead of gambling with his salary.

That will be the most difficult thing for you to do in this world. It might sound easy when you are discussing it, but when it comes to the action point, it will be very hard to happen. Let's take an instance. Can you endure working in a bakery without eating the bread? You also know that that will be very hard, so you will find it hard to endure when you see a lot of people gambling and winning. That is what will motivate you to join because you will see it as an opportunity to get another money apart from the salary you have been given, so you will like to utilise the opportunity. 
 
To the second question, yes, you can, but it is very hard because you have to have your own boundaries and also remind yourself about the consequences of gambling. This might help you to lose internet in gambling, but it is usually hard to apply in daily life and behaviour because sometimes your mind tends to be stronger than you.
