Surveillance here. We had a high roller come in once a month or so, put a lot of money on the tables, $15-20k a trip, but he just wasn’t very good at blackjack and generally wound up very far down. I was taking a smoke break when I see him on the top level of the parking structure, which I thought was weird since VIP (which he was) parking was on the ground level. Because of the nature of what I do I remove my badge on breaks and just pretend I’m waiting on a ride or something. I strike up a conversation and this guy just breaks down, starts talking about how his wife is leaving him and he’s blown through almost all of his very substantial inheritance. We had a very long conversation and I definitely went over my allotted break time but I managed to get him down on the floor where he took a pamphlet for help with gambling addiction. I’m really convinced he was on the top level to unalive himself. He hasn’t been at the casino since and I’m hoping it’s because he got the help he clearly needs.

I got to chatting with him about how his ups and downs effected him outside of the establishment and he had had a few to drink so told me a lot. My Pit Boss discretely caught him when he got up off the table, had a chat, gave him some flyers about problem gambling and had his sign off to be banned for 5 years (we need them to sign a form acknowledging it unless banned for other reasons).

I used to work at a few Casinos in Atlantic City. I worked at Trump Plaza which was nicknamed Jump Plaza. It was common to come to work and the ambulance and police blocking off traffic. There was a sky bridge from the parking garage to the casino so you didn’t have to go outside to get your car. The saddest one I saw personally was a young man had lost his money. He went to the parking garage and decided to take his life. He jumped off the wrong side of the building and landed on the sky bridge. The sound was loud enough to hear inside the casino. People were walking through it at the time so they saw him land. He didn’t die on impact, but from what we were told was that he broke pretty much every bone he could. People walking through said you could hear him moaning and crying. It was so sad because he tried to end his suffering but only caused himself way more. I genuinely hope he recovered and life is better for him.

Not me, but a story I heard from a friend, so close enough. He worked in a casino for a number of years as a croupier. By all accounts, he said it was a boring job for the most part, but he did have one particular guy who ran out of chips to pay with and put his car keys on the table, saying which car was his in the lot and that if he lost his next hand, the car was theirs to keep. He believed this was acceptable because 'he'd seen it in the movies'. Obviously, this is not acceptable and my friend was forced to turn him down and ask him to come back with more casino approved chips, if he wanted to place more bets. This was not well received and my friend was almost forced to call security to drag him off the table. It didn't come to that, but it came close. He'd been losing badly all night and was apparently perfectly willing to lose his car alongside the big piles of cash he'd already lost. Gambling addiction can be a terrible thing, I guess.

As a person who sells these tickets frequently for many years, it is indeed pointless to come back each week for these, yet I have people who drop by on the regular to do just that. I have never seen anyone win big. I've seen many people win small prizes and once I personally witnessed someone winning around 1500 euros, but that was the biggest payout I've seen in well over a decade of working there. Every now and then, you hear a story about a big winner who raked in enough money to be comfortable for life (and sometimes more), but I've never seen it happen myself and my colleagues from that store also say that in that store's entire existence, they've never seen it either. That place has been around for about 50 years now. The odds of it happening are just too small. You're throwing away money on a flight of fancy.

I am a gambler, but I would never do the lottery.

[@Xylarxcode]

@@williamdoyle2063 While it is true that you can only win if you play, I've seen people do the math on how much money they spent on lottery tickets each week and assuming they don't go overboard with it and just buy the regular tickets at about 5-10 euros each, if they do it long enough, they lost what they refer to as vacation money over time. Spending (or throwing away, as I prefer to think of it) the money on lottery tickets really adds up over time and most of the time it gets you nothing. Even if you win, the lottery wins more still. Even if they have to pay out a few million to a lucky winner once in a blue moon, they've already earned more just from suckers who bought tickets in vain hope. Like a casino, the house always wins. The only way to beat it, is by not playing, but we'd have to do that en masse and that's never going to happen. People shrug it off because 'oh, well, it was just 5-10 euros, nothing ventured nothing gained' but it adds up quickly and gets you literally nothing. It's like handing a stranger money expecting nothing in return. Sure, sometimes you get a small reward that refunds some of your costs but most of the time you don't even get that. Lottery is literally just a global scam of legalized gambling that fools way too many people. It won't happen. Just because you hear about the extremely rare story where it did happen that one time doesn't mean it'll happen for you. They're baiting you with that story to get you to spend more on it, preying on your hopes and dreams. Lottery is like being robbed except they do it in such a roundabout way that you give them your money with a smile on your face and the false hope of a large payout that will never come. I can't discourage people enough from buying them, but I see more than enough suckers return each week to know they'll never get it. That 'what if I win, though' hope is just too blinding and overpowering.

Not a gambling story, but a total Las Vegas land of wretched excess story. I was with my girlfriend, and she had a mighty hangover from the night before. During breakfast she left and went to the bathroom to throw up. She came back and told me there was a woman in the next stall eating potato chips while my girlfriend was puking. The woman couldn't stop eating long enough to take a shit, and kept on eating while someone barfed next to her. Such a Vegas story. Pure Vegas.

Not a casino employee, but a semi-pro sports bettor that's interacted with a lot of casual/rec sports bettors on Redditors. There's a lot of cross over between the mentality of people who sports bet and people who casino bet, but ultimately people really, really don't understand betting concepts, expected value, and why these businesses are so darn profitable for the business itself (and conversely why so few customers make money at all). The ridiculous, extreme long-shot and negative value bets I see all the time are just sad. Once saw a guy who actually won one of these long shots, and in their post they spoke about how they were short on money and the winnings would really help out with medical and repair bills because they had a car accident recently. The probability of the bet winning was like sub-5%, so it was like "my dude, next time in that situation take the ~$50 you put on this bet and put it aside for the bills; it's not much but it's way more reliable".

I used to really like baccarat, I had about 20k bankroll at the time mostly ran up from really lucky sports bets. I started playing bacc online one night, got up to 37k but at that point it was like Monopoly money to me. Also there was another player at my table talking about how he just ran up his BR 6 figures. I’m convinced it was a casino plant trying to get in my head making sure I didn’t leave with 17k profit. Needless to say I eventually lost like 12 hands in a row and lost it all. Felt nothing at the time, it was really unreal. Only later when I was back at work and missing out on fun trips with my friends cause I was broke did I start to feel really bad. Lucky for me I kept my gambling bankroll separated from the money I needed for rent etc. Anyway I kind of count myself lucky because I’ll never play table games again and even thinking about it makes me nauseated.

Story 1 - Horrible situation for OP but a HUGE mistake on the part of OP. I have worked in a casino as a VIP host within a slots section. Host responsibility is paramount. PGIs (problem gambling indicators) e.g Crying at a machine, checking machines for money or repeatedly getting more money out of ATMs. He never should have been allowed to continue play, especially since he was a regular and OP was aware of his standard level of play. The sad thing is if the reg was using a players card his stardard play would be tracked and his abnormal spike in the size of his play would have been flagged and a host or manager would have come to discuss it with him eventually. OP noticed this guy and had a responsibility to report a spike like this to their superior. An awful situation to be in on OPs part, but as an employee at a casino you are trained to notice PGIs and should report them. Unfortunately people don't do this often enough, and people can be allowed to play for hours and hours betting money they cant afford to lose.

I figured out something interesting with the electronic slot machines when I went to Vegas back in 2015, they seem to let you win about 20 or 50 dollars, presumably to keep you hooked, but if you keep playing after that I have never won anything close to that amount after that point. I can only assume there is some kind of algorithm that governs things on those machines, so it's not entirely by random chance. Which is why I started playing until I won that amount and then bail on the machine afterwords, after a while though I noticed that no matter which casino I went to I would stop winning anything on the electronic machines, so possibly evidence that the casinos are linked in some way? I don't know. Those places are definitely evil, in my opinion. They have perfected a business of profiting off of the addiction and misery of others.
