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
I agree, and sometimes it can work counterproductively. Seeing gamblers lose large sums of money and encounter all the bad behavior after encountering a loss is enough to discourage you from gambling yourself. Just because you're working at a casino doesn't make you a gambler. Surely, the employees are familiar with the games and how they work; they've most certainly tried them themselves, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're actively playing. Even though it's a casino, the environment I described earlier isn't the most encouraging to try.
