I think a casino employee could and most likely also gamble. but the gambling activities they do may only be to relieve stress from their work. not to make a profit. environmental influences must be big enough to make them gamblers too. they have experience and eventually will not be able to resist. but not as active gamblers. more of them must only seek pleasure in gambling which is done not for profit or even seeking victory.

of course, the situation experienced by each person is different depending on the character of the person. if there is a casino employee who is addicted to gambling. maybe it is bad for his career. their salary must be quite large, and it would be crazy if they also spent the money they got from the casino to play casino.

Working in a casino ain't an automatic ticket to Gamblers Anonymous, alright? It's about discipline, plain and simple. Yeah, the environment's a temptation playground, but it's not some inescapable vortex of addiction. Sure, employees might dabble. It's like working at Google and playing with the latest tech, or being a brewer surrounded by craft beer. You're gonna test the waters, but that doesn't mean you're drowning

Casinos are built on allure, on pulling you into the action. Employees see it all, up close and personal. But let's not kid ourselves - exposure doesn't equal addiction. Some folks gamble to de-stress, and with the right mindset, it doesn't spiral out of control. We're all wired differently, driven by different things, and controlled by different levels of discipline. Not everyone working in a casino is betting their life savings on the next spin. Some are just there to do their job, clock out, and go home
