Awesome share op. Didn't know about majority of these facts. The best one among them was the one about Macau being the gambling capital of the world since I always thought that it was Vegas.
I've been to Vegas which was crazy hot(Even during the night) and observed how most gamblers only cared about slots. I can easily remember the slot machine sounds very clearly.

4. Some Gambling Addicts Pee All Over the Gaming Floor.
Some gamblers simply take things too far: addiction counselors say that some problem gamblers are so impaired by their addiction that they simply urinate all over themselves or wear adult diapers rather than step away from the table or slot machine. For instance, in Indiana in 2007, a gambler filed a complaint with the state's Gaming Commission after he sat in a pee-soaked chair at a slot machine. And in 2015, a New Jersey man urinated into a slot machine's coin slot rather than leave the gaming floor.
can't understand this, they are willing to use diapers so they don't miss round after round in the game, but in my mind what if it's not just peeing, if peeing can still be tolerated if more than peeing
It is easier to hold pooing than it is to hold peeing, Infact, you can't hold peeing, once it time to pee, you either go out and pee or you will end up peeing in yourself.
I personally can hold poo for a whole day plus, but that is not possible with pee,
So I believe this should explain to you why some gamblers wear diapers for pee, and not care about poo.

Women do know when to steal the show, on the given link by @OP I read that the first legal Casino license is issued to a woman. I was like wth, gambling is dominated by males during those times let alone by mobsters and gangsters. So I was surprised when the first legal Casino is established by a woman named Mayme Stocker in 1920 for the Northern Club. She was a wife and a mother, but her husband does not support her so she pushed its legality and opened the Casino herself.[1]

I'm familiar with the roullete "00" is harder to hit as compare to "0", that's why I don't play that version. I'm more on the single ")" because there were times that I got lucky and win some.
Been to Vegas and it's my first time to see slot machine all over, like even in a convenient store or in the airport, maybe I was just culture shock that time because I only know that they are just available inside the casinos.
Well gambling is a big part of the culture of those living at Las Vegas and you will be hard pressed to find anyone there that does not gamble once in a while so it makes sense that slot machines are everywhere, we must also remember that slots is one of the most profitable gambling games there are for the casinos, which is the main reason that if you visit any physical casino a great deal of the space is going to be occupied by those machines.Been to Vegas and it's my first time to see slot machine all over, like even in a convenient store or in the airport, maybe I was just culture shock that time because I only know that they are just available inside the casinos.
I know a handful of people from Vegas that doesn't gamble. They don't find the activity too pleasing, or worth their time even. Perhaps since Las Vegas turned into a gambling hub after being a lonely desert place for a long time, a lot of people migrated into the area to take advantage of the gambling industry by getting jobs out there or even playing. But yeah, most people there in Las Vegas are into gambling, but it's not too hard to find someone who's only there for their jobs and not amused by the number of physical gambling places in the said area.

Gambling is not only prevalent among the prisoners that have a lot of influence but among the whole inmate population, after all even something as simple as a single coin can be used to create a gambling game around it.
So when we think about this it should not be strange at all to find a lot of gambling in almost any prison around the world, even those which are located in countries in which their religion or the law forbids this practice.
Maybe gambling in prison is entertainment for them and they use things other than money to gamble. It's still like people who play gambling out there, even though the methods and items used to gamble are different from what people use. Gambling can get many people, especially those curious about how to play gambling so will try it. The same will happen in prison because if a fellow inmate has experience playing gambling, he will try to gamble in prison.So when we think about this it should not be strange at all to find a lot of gambling in almost any prison around the world, even those which are located in countries in which their religion or the law forbids this practice.
But those things that have mentioned OP, I'd say it was not really a piece of luck, they have given an opportunity and reason for their winnings. It sometimes happens but yes, it was too surprising even those who win can't even think about it.

Well gambling is a big part of the culture of those living at Las Vegas and you will be hard pressed to find anyone there that does not gamble once in a while so it makes sense that slot machines are everywhere,
means one thing that most people in Vegas are gambler and wanna take a short risk from time to time as slot machine can be operated in a short period of time and you can completely find the result right after you put a coin?Quote
we must also remember that slots is one of the most profitable gambling games there are for the casinos, which is the main reason that if you visit any physical casino a great deal of the space is going to be occupied by those machines.
most profitable? that is if you are lucky to win jackpot but not until then? card games or roulette still remains the most profitable for me.

what inspired the FedEx story is how the right decision was made by the owner in using the money left in his pocket to bet it on the gambling table
I often hear of people who use the money left in their pockets to gamble but most of them end up losing, and the story of the FedEx owner is really risky to be imitated by those who still can't control themselves
I often hear of people who use the money left in their pockets to gamble but most of them end up losing, and the story of the FedEx owner is really risky to be imitated by those who still can't control themselves
I wouldn't even call the FedEx story an inspirational type of thing since in a sense, gambling it all away is also a form of giving up. That specific case was just the man being plain lucky, nothing more and nothing else. People shouldn't really view it as anything more than that.
But he was very lucky at that time because he could win a lot of money from gambling.
It's not a good story to imitate because not many people can win as much money as he does.
It is better to find other ways to make money and not from gambling because gambling is not a place to make money.
He took the risk and the whole thing work out "as never thought", note: i didn't say "as expected" which means this kind of occasions happen on a rare case, what the man did is uncommon likewise the result he had also, but one must not because of that go into such an extent in taking risk, if you use your last card which is the only spare money left with you to survive and play gamble or maybe you gamble with someone else money in your disposal, you will face the consequences in which you may not like at all, i see gambling as a game of those satisfied enough and contended with all they have and wish to spend part of their accumulated resource on gambling while catching fun.
But I will never try to play gambling with the remaining spare money because gambling really requires luck.
And although we don't know if when we play with that last spare money, luck will come in time.
Only people willing to take risks will do it, while others tend to look for other ways that may be safer.

Some persons may find this story very inspiring and which is based on how we see it. This is not the kind of story for newbie gamblers or under aged gamblers that may have big urge to win a huge jackpot. This is mainly not based on luck but skills which we don't have to compromise. Gambling is risky and for those who does not understand much about it should be aware of the imminent risk that could pose huge risk.

1. The Founder Of FedEx Saved The Company By Gambling In Vegas.
Here's an inspiring story for aspiring gamblers and small business owners: the founder of FedEx saved his floundering company by gambling in Vegas, earning $27,000 in blackjack! The company only had $5,000 in its coffers when Frederick Smith decided to fly to Vegas in 1973 and risk it all. Though this isn't good investment or business advice in general, Smith's gamble paid off, allowing the company to last long enough to raise $11 million and eventually earn its first profits in 1976.

Should not be called an "inspiring story".
Although I agree with you that isn't good investment advice, that's a suicide move. FedEx founder was really lucky while at the same time, skillful as playing Blackjack is not just about relying on luck. Not all will have the same experience in gambling.
I just wondered what if the event happened the other way around. Is there any Plan B on that founder's mind? Since he risks gambling, where the result is uncertain, that might be his last option to save the company.

In some prisons we have what we call VIP suits most especially in some highly underdeveloped countries where the rate of corruption and system manipulation is evident, I read somewhere where VIP prisoners are allowed to go to nightclubs and even walk freely within the town all because they can afford that luxury of life through corrupt prison officials.
So gambling inside the prison is a little thing for them and that is one of the major reasons why there is always gang war in the same prison and they can even plan they escape from there, so what are we saying gambling in prison is a history long story and a lot needs to be done to eradicate that from prison that is if it is possible to do that.

The corruption there when a prisoner buys for VIP threat from the jail guards or warden.
Jail guards and wardens are just a small piece of cake in the prison. High-profile inmates even do have power over these officials.
Quote
These guys don't have the ability to give prisoners a luxurious life inside the jail especially related to gambling activity.
actually they are just part of the group but they are only to follow orders from the higher ups.Quote
VIP treatments and protection were authorized by a much higher official. Maybe a chief, top-rank official, or even part of the Senate and Congress.
Money can speak for everything , so Yes either the politicians or other cabinet members? it is base on who is handling those criminals .

In that you are absolutely right, in fact there are many prisoners who not only have a great mandate within a prison, but almost over the war material that a government has, in my country at one point the prisons have better weapons than a government and now How things are going, I don't know if it's still like that, but high-profile prisoners manage a lot of things from jail, it should also be noted that next door there is a country that has always had the business of drug cartels bigger than they exist, and that is something that makes them even more dangerous, because obviously they must have contact, so the mafias of these people have no limits, so much so that if they propose they can bring any government to its knees.

This is the first time I heard about gambling in prison, and I am surprised that the authority allows such activity. As far as I know prison is created to sanction criminals not to let them enjoy casino lives.
You need to watch some documentaries about the community in prison in some countries.
Didn't you know that some prisons are having a much luxury life compared to the usual community outside? Yes, a place where prisoners won't feel they are in an actual prison because of the community there.
That includes having a gambling place inside. What's confusing is, how these prisoners or people there have money to spend on gambling.
There are two ways people in the prison can get money. People in prison don't sit idle but they have to do the work they have been told to.
The work assigned to them sometimes might yield them some money.
There are also prison where the family members can give the prisoners a limited amount of money to buy things inside the prison.
I have read both of these online and can't guarantee it's truth but I think this is how they must be getting money and I guess spending them on gambling.
or stores where they could make out purchase unless if there are some shady activity happening around then it would really be that relevant and also we know that prisons
are really strict to possible contrabands which they wouldnt really allow external sources or passing up things from outside even from its family members.
If this happens then its really just too funny that prisons arent really that prisons at all.
There are some prisons where prisoners can earn money by their work assignments.
Also, prisoners can use that money for their basic hygiene and other things.
There is a article published on this matter. You can refer it here.
