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.

I believe this applies to wealthy prisoners, and ordinary prisoner cannot afford this kind of luxury. Aside from that, in a corrupt system, prison is also a den for drugs, so circulation of drugs is done and prisoners involve are able to earn money, under the nose of jail officers. So it is not surprising that these prisoners are able to have money for their in-prison gambling activity.

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.

But seriously, are they really that addicted to it that they don't want to leave the RTP machine at the Slots or maybe a few spins at Roulete and Poker. This is very funny Grin

A gambler in a physical casino does have a habit to use only a single machine as maybe it brings luck for them in the past.

As we know, there's no such thing as a gambler can reserve a machine in a physical casino unless some kind of permission is being asked. Maybe that's the reason why others are not leaving their machine to prevent others from using it, especially if these gamblers are on their rampage status, either because they are currently on a winning streak or chasing losses.

Really insane to think about it that's why we should feel blessed that we didn't end on that act while gambling lol.

In this case there may be something else because when I chatted with my friends who have been to offline casinos they said that they waited until the machine was full and finally put their money there for the Jackpot so they were willing to sit for hours without leaving the place sit them down.
well in this case I'm also grateful that it didn't come to that because I may be a gambler who has an addiction but compared to things like that it seems I'm still normal now Cheesy

One of the major reasons why gambling is banned in some countries is because of its association with crime and criminality because casino houses are where a lot of drug and other illegal businesses thrive. But with online casinos now coming in a lot of separation is done in the industry and the need for physical appearance is minimal so the narrative is changing. But I don't support gambling in prison.

Well, crimes and drugs happen everywhere so it is not surprising if Casinos have some in it record. Besides, in the USA, before it became a legal industry, Casino is run by gangsters and mafia, so the idea of criminals and drugs in a Casino is deeply rooted.

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.

I would like to share with you all a crazy fun fact about a casino.
It seems that back in 2006 the actor from the Startrek series WILLIAM SHATNER passed a kidney stone , this one was later auctioned and bought by an online casino por 25k$.This money was later donated to charity.

I wonder why would an online casino need to have such thing in their collection, I would understand such thing from a physically located casino, but this a little bit confusing and yet crazy.

Quote

On 18 January 2006, it was announced that Star Trek actor William Shatner (USA) had sold a kidney stone that he had passed the previous year for $25,000 (then £12,700) to online casino GoldenPalace.com. Shatner donated the money from the sale to the Habitat for Humanity housing charity.
The casino originally offered just $15,000 (£7,600) for the stone, but Shatner insisted it was worth more, adding that his Star Trek tunics have sold for over $100,000 (£50,800). The stone will join the online casino's growing collection of curiousities, which includes a potato in the shape of The Who guitarist Pete Townsend (UK), and a toasted sandwich bearing an uncanny likeness of the Virgin Mary.

Underground casinos in prisons are quite common, especially in countries where corruption and organized crime are rampant. and in some cases, you can get there only by appointment and recommendation.

That's right, in my country there was once a horrendous case where in a prison was found a drug business, prostitution and gambling that operated freely and had a large cash flow

developing countries have high crime rates, even wardens are very afraid of facing strong convicts who are used to doing dirty business outside, say it's so pathetic, then that's what happens

I found an amazing article online which i found to be funny, and at the same time quite educative and interesting, this are facts I personally think that the gambling community should know about, so i am sharing the same facts in this community.
So without wasting much of your time, lets dive in.

2. The Nevada State Prison Used to Have a Casino for Inmates.

Gambling is such a huge industry in Nevada that even the state prison had a casino inside it for 35 years. That's right: inmates could play blackjack, craps, poker, and even bet on sports inside the "Bullpen," a stone building on the prison's grounds in Carson City from 1932 to 1967. A new warden from California shut it down that year, saying gambling was a "degradation" to the inmates.

Question:
which of this casinos and gambling facts do you find most funny, amazing or surprising?
Lets discuss...

Maybe some gamblers are just territorial and they don't want any disturbance while playing so they just pee right on their seats. Funny but also disgusting for staff who will clean their mess. Some gambling addicts aren't mindful of what they're doing anymore as long as they satisfy their urge to gamble.

But at least they can urinate before continuing the game to avoid disturbing other players who will play gambling after them. Thus, everyone will remain comfortable playing gambling and there will be no such minor annoyances. Maybe once or twice would be fine but if he kept doing that, he probably wouldn't be able to play at the same casino again. Even though they are gambling addicts, it shouldn't be done for any reason so that other gamblers don't feel disgusted when they replace that player playing gambling.

For sure they will do that but what if it's their turn already and they will gamble for longer hours? I don't think there are no bathrooms in there but they choose to urinate on their seats maybe because some people are waiting for them to leave but they can always tell those people that they will still play but will only go to the bathroom for a while.

I know some staff's can also help by guarding their seats or put some objects where there is a warning sign on them. There are so many ways actually but I think some gamblers are just crazy or out of their minds already. It could be one of the signs that they are heavily addicted on the game.

those are isolated cases meaning things that is not normally happen everyday , from a businessman that risking all His company funds for gambling , to those who are peeing and pooping in casino houses?
they are just a normal that seeks attention or luck , let them be and lets do our own activities , those are just a fun sharing for all we knew and for our understanding.
thanks to OP for this , we've understand more from you.

This is because we hear more about Las Vegas than Macau.
The reason is quite simple because Macau is indeed an area that does have a special administrative and is indeed related to China which is like there is but a little closed from the outside but is still known.
Unlike Vegas, because what I know about this city, gambling, especially casinos, is one of the most important things to attract foreign tourists, so things like this definitely lead to the opinion that Vegas is the biggest.

Not only that is on which whenever we do hear up some news or headlines or topics that could be seen on net then i do usually see Las Vegas than with Macau but it cant really be denied that Macau is
popular but when it comes to discussions and relevance then we arent that deaf nor blind on not to see those differences.Its true that it is somewhat that isolated when it comes to awareness and popularity.

Back to topic,
I did laugh on this one.
4. Some Gambling Addicts Pee All Over the Gaming Floor.

How the hell they do such stuff?

In this case, as I said, maybe Macau can only be reached in some news, such as countries in Asia and some other countries, but not for all countries because this seems to be limited by some parties in the news.
As for peeing in my pants I probably won't say much about this as I've never seen or felt anything like it lol.
But seriously, are they really that addicted to it that they don't want to leave the RTP machine at the Slots or maybe a few spins at Roulete and Poker. This is very funny Grin

Well, the fact speaks for itself and they just do it naturally. They just pee on the normal and I think they don't want to waste time going on the restroom to pee.

Instead, they do the shortcut just to keep on playing. That's really gross and no manners at all but I guess the casino where these gamblers are doing it are totally fine with it and it's like a luxury to them to do it.

If we do talk about accessibility and connectivity from the past and on this present day then we could really able to see the difference whenever there are odd things which
needed to be shared up or not.Its true that people would really do some sort of odd things or something that we cant see nor even believed that it would happen
but with because of addiction then everything could really happen and its laughable that there are people who do end up on doing these things
just because they've been too addicted.

8. Slot Machines Used to Actually Dispense Fruit-Flavored Chewing Gum.

Ever wonder why slot machines have little pictures of fruit on the wheels? It's because early 1880s-era slot machines would actually dispense fruit-flavored gum. The machines also dispensed tokens meant to be exchanged for drinks and cigars before pumping out actual coins in 1888.

This one is very interesting. In 1880's people had the creativity people nowadays don't. With so much technology and innovation we have nowadays it seems nobody thinks about developing and promoting a slot machine that rewards gamblers with extra 'prizes'. I think a machine like this would be a huge success if those colored shiny pictures you see on the screen of your slots session could be physically acquired by the gamblers during the game, from the machine itself. Or isn't this done in order to not call children's attention?

People still have the creativity, it's just that things like these are already outdated. Since we are in modern times already, technology and innovation is more widely used. The traditional set up isn't really much patronized because of innovations made by the inventors that make the lives of those who gamble regularly easier and convenient. The creativity is still there, but not in par with what they got way back wherein there are machines that dispense such prizes for the gamblers to consume during or after playing.

Perhaps one of the reasons why it isn't really utilized nowadays aside from rapid advancement of technology is that it seems like a toy for kids. These types of machines really look a lot more of those in arcades. Like what you said maybe they don't want to attract kids' attention and be a trigger for them to start gambling at a young age.

Well, the good thing about technology is that it's always evolving to keep up with the demand of the people. Who knew that old toys like the penny slot machine will be transformed into a virtual video slot machine that you can play at home on your computer or at online casinos. The diversity and versatility of this game led to its popularity and acceptance in a lot of countries. It's not only popular with Asians as most people really thought of. Sure, they don't have the same feeling as actual slot machines in a casino. But it's still worth taking the time to try these out. And who knows? You may be able to get that high-roller feeling.

The fact that Macau is the gambling capital and not Vegas surprised me. I always had the impression that Vegas was the gambling capital of the world. I never knew Macau has already replaced it. The funniest was the mobile casino at the back of a London cab. I was wondering how many gamblers can actually fit in the back of that London cab. The craziest fact was peeing on the gaming floor, was wondering what level of addiction these gamblers have to embarrass themselves in front of everyone.

Macau has specialized law dedicated for gambling industry while Nevada still stick to there old rules which makes Macau easily get the spotlight for having an open region any type of gamblers. Chinese gamblers shares huge part of gambling revenue on Vegas before and China decided to compete US on this kind of business to share on that gambling revenue which US only monopolizing.

So, now the revenue from Chinese-based gamblers is being shared by both Vegas and Macau and hopefully, Vegas might not share that revenue in the near future. I did some research and found out that gambling was legalized in Macau at the time when it was a Portuguese colony. The primary revenue of Macau is through the gambling industry and before the 20th century only Chinese-based gambling games were played.

urinating all over or just wear diapers lol. urinate this time in vegas, you'd be kicked out and ban for life.
but this is the worse addict. they just don't want to miss on deal, they rather not leave their chair and keep going. no intervention for these guys already.

in prison, they can bet just about anything like literally a rat race can be done but its more fun with a real casino. you'd learn casino skills when you get out. Cheesy

I know that stuff like that can sound really weird for some people but it should not be surprising, people can get incredibly dysfunctional when they get addicted to the point that urinating themselves in public is nothing.

They don't need to wear Diaper because what they are doing is Intended and not an accident , meaning they can freely go in comfort room but they choose to urinate in the machines.

Quote

After all it is way more common for people to not only lose every single dollar they have earned during their lives but also lose money they do not have by asking their friends, family members and banks for loans, destroying their future and the future of their family, and if you ask me that is way worse than urinating themselves in public.

and also losing money to pay for penalties after they did those stupid actions in gambling casino houses.
