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.

There is this local saying that if you sell a particular food, there will come a time that it wouldn't freak you again but then again, this is money we are taking about. I think a casino knows and understand how risky gambling can be for people, they wouldn't allow their staffs to gamble while on work, their major duties are to attend to customers and make sure that everything goes well for them and if anyone found breaking the rule will be sack or suspended.

The managers are not always thereto strictly monitor and enforce those rules and it is harder to fish out the defaulting gambler since t is still the same process that it takes to play the game for the client and for himself, the only way they are being caught most times is during accounting and the balance is lower than supposed, during interrogations most of them owns up and are penalized. Those that can use their funds t gamble are always not caught and their finances keep diminishing and that is the case with my friend.

If I am employed to work in a casinos, I will make sure I don't used my money to bet, such thing go well and at the same time back fire. However, if get tipped sometimes by customers, I might want to do put some on games and see that is if the casino company is allow the staff to bet and they pay minimum wage for their staff. I learnt that some places doesn't pay upto minimum wage that's why tips are allow, so I will do that in rare occasions.

You know something big guy, I've always known that advise is easier when you are giving it from the outside, when you experience it firsthand, you might see yourself acting differently over time.

of course, their pay in my country is not even near the minimum wage, its way lower and it makes them want to try their lucks and increase their finances which most times works against them. The minimum wage in my country is much lower than my weekly wage in sig. campaign, I think about $45 monthly, so you can imagine their plight.
