I wonder if they will start handing out free joints of weed instead of alcohol to keep people sat at the table, as it still has the tired effect of making the players dopey.

I think it's allowed for them but it should only be used in special places (certain rooms) in legal casinos. I don't think players can use it anywhere in the casino even when they are betting on the table, it will annoy other players because of the distinctive smell.

As you say, serious players who are playing games like poker to win would be best to stay far away from intoxicating substances like this. It has a much more damaging "second hand" effect and frankly it'd be advisable to steer clear of any casino that allows cannabis smoke to circulate - it doesn't stop having an effect when it is exhaled by the smoker.

Even though I'm a smoker, but I don't like the smell of marijuana, it really makes me dizzy and have to stay away from marijuana smokers. This may happen to other people even if they smoke or drink alcohol.

Apparently according to a recent news the Gambling Casinos in Vegas are going to allow Cannabis Lounges. In Nevada it's not restricted if you do it in your own house.

What do you think about it ?
- I do think that this is a step taken by both casinos and the government to ensure that people loose more, so that they do not care about what they are doing and at the end both the casinos and the government will make more money this way.
I surely think that this might not be the way to go, alcoholic drinks are served in the casinos for a reason. I do think that this might be a "happy news" for most people but at the same time you should realize that this is something that will drastically reduce your chances of winning.

It seems inevitable when Cannabis was legalized in Nevada, however I think it should be reserved for dedicated sections of the casino and cut off from the non-smoking sections entirely quite frankly. Cannabis can have a very potent and upsetting smell, which might not be welcome even by standard tobacco smokers. I wonder if they will start handing out free joints of weed instead of alcohol to keep people sat at the table, as it still has the tired effect of making the players dopey.

Lol, I remember reading an article that public places such as casinos are one of the prohibited places to use cannabis. I guess they finally realized that it is such a waste to not take advantage of people high in marijuana. that being said the article did say that gambling and alcoholic beverages will most likely be prohibited in the lounged. but that doesn't stop the people to go and gamble in the casino when they are done using Cannabis. although rules and regulations in the lounges have yet to be announced I assumed there would be some kind of restriction on how much cannabis a person can eat, smoke, or drink.

To be honest, I see it as another marketing strategy where they could attract more players who are using cannabis. We can't do anything about it since cannabis is legal in their country. They focus on keeping their players by allowing even cannabis usage and other stuff like alcohol and cigarette but I hope that they wouldn't allow illegal drugs in the future.

It's not yet legal on a federal level, the legality of marijuana is still on a state to state basis although, I don't think there's nothing wrong with weed since it's a good money making industry if you ask me and we know that US government loves their taxes.

It still needs time before they can see the cannabis is available in the casino because many types of marijuana products need to be defined. It could make people get in trouble if they can not control two things, gambling and cannabis. If that can give the casino more income, I think the casino will approach the government and define the cannabis type so it will no need to wait for a long time to allow their members to consume that.

Yeah they are offering gambling , Liquor and now Drugs.

maybe next time they will literally offers prostitution also Grin

I hate this kind of gambling places , hope this will never happen in my place.

Prostitutions in the casino? Well that exist for quite a long time already. I mean who doesn't think of that idea where a flock of people with crazy wealth is gathering in one place. Every transactions will be dealt privately.
If you mean legalising prostitutions in the public places like the casino, then I might say that's impossible to happen. The casino will be charged with sex trafficking.

Vegas has been aiming to be the best leisure place with luxury in the planet, and combining gambling, alcohol, and drugs is a perfect place for the people who's seeking to escape reality for a while.

Do they do this kind of stuff? well, it will cause some serious problems because people will not in their right mind when they playing the games. Seriously guys, I never thought things like this would ever happen because it will create a lot of risks especially to those people who don't even know the taste of it let alone socializing with the one who abused it and sitting next to them. It will be like in the clubs where people are high and drunk but still talking until the morning comes.

You're not just that used to people smoking pot around you, that's why you think this way, don't worry because I am pretty sure that they can still probably function even though they are high or smoking pot. Plus, these is a good way to make marijuana a legal stuff which can help the economy get more money because weed is a big industry.

Vegas casinos allow marijuana lounges because it is very popular in their country and gamblers enjoy the smell of marijuana smoke with the game but for other countries gaza has not found legitimacy they think it is harmful gaza is more harmful than smoking. Many activities have both compulsive and compulsive features but are practically separate from addiction and compulsion emulsivity and compulsion are related to each other each showing a tendency to act prematurely or without consideration and often involving negative consequences.

Its more a freedom then an active element to influence gambling outcomes, now people wont have to sit in their hotel room to smoke they can do it while they gamble which is great and reflects the changing laws on a relatively harmless drug. It'd be great publicity for Casinos to bring in some celebrities like Snoop Dogg, I can see them sponsoring him to come play on that basis to emphasise the change as who is more iconic then him. He was involved in a few game launches and streams on twitch, he left the channel open all night once by accident which is pretty funny but nice he is a real character people appreciate.

Will this work like a smoking area though because I am pretty sure that not everyone is going to enjoy the smell of marijuana smoke. I think that Snoop Lion is going to be a good endorser, maybe get Tommy Chong and Afroman and other famous marijuana and cannabis activist.

pros and cons because in some countries cannabis is legal and a necessity...

I don't think anyone will dare sue the casino when the cannabis user loses money because from the start they should have known that cannabis makes 'intoxicated' just like the liquor in the casino. the users who should be responsible for themselves.

Just because something is legal in the country, it doesn't mean that the casinos need to supply it. I don't know how this is going to be beneficial for the casinos. Even if there is no additional risk (as posted by you), I don't think that their revenues will go up as a result of this. What are the chances that the cannabis users will visit the casinos, when it is readily available elsewhere? Also, the chances that regular gamblers would decide to try weed in between their games is very minimal, in my opinion.

The Cannabis users and community are growing in Vegas and they are recognizing them by setting up lounges like this, yes government and casinos can make money by giving them special places in the casinos to hang out, it's an invitation for them to play and hang out and maybe they got a study that many cannabis users are also gambling or wants cannabis users to play, this will bring back the glory days of the casinos after the pandemic.

Nothing wrong with it. The only problem could be gambling while being high, we could lose a lot of money.

And that might be the reason why they've allowed. For the reason to make people lose themselves and get out of their control so that they can make more money from those people that are enjoying doing such but not noticing that they're in a serious situation. And in the end, it's too late for them to notice that they're losing more money although in their mindset, they've enjoyed a bit.

I don't think cannabis is a drug enhancing risky habits in general and risky gambling habits in particular. So I'm not sure it will help casino houses to take more money from those players. In fact I think it will certainly help some gamblers to stop playing actually.

This topic is always debatable but I reckon the one who should be explaining about it is the one who tried it for a very long time. There are artists, singer, actors who used cannabis for example Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa although I don't see them playing gambling but let's just say they were since they were using cannabis for their daily lives and yet I don't see any problem at all with them because even in their live concert they were using it too.

Does that affect their entire behavior? No, I don't think so.

For added entertainment purposes, that make sense. As per the article, the legislature is yet to define what types of marijuana products will be allowed so it means every type is not welcome or maybe the most commonly used type won't be considered to ensure that the lounge will be limited only for entertainment purposes.

Reading through, doing gambling, and alcohol will likely be prohibited in cannabis lounges which I think to prevent possible mixed emotions and unnecessary actions inside the lounge.

"What is known so far is that lawmakers are planning to start by licensing 20 cannabis launches initially" - additional revenues or tax?

It might be interesting if all of the cannabis lovers would go to casino just to pop some and I know some famous people who do it. Maybe it's a good idea if it's a personal request from their customers and I don't know what the other cause and effect of cannabis but some people tells that it helps them to relax while in terms of thinking it may be useful because all what they see is a slow moving phase which is kind of funny because it's what on their mind.

Maybe this will help when they were playing inside the casino but I'm there's another problem going to raise after that.
