Stories like this are the reason I think we need low-stakes casinos where you don't play with real money and just win silly plastic prizes like at the two-penny arcades. Sort of like methadone for gambling addicts.
I remember one story someone posted of how their grandparents had a retro slot machine and they'd play it as a kid and see exactly how rigged it is and never touched a real one. I've been considering whether or not it'd be a good idea like you said but yeah, I think so: those who couod be deterred are, and those who get addicted can get early intervention.
@EddieM1994 no no he's got a point
That's Dave & Busters essentially.
But then the casino bosses don’t get money
my friend you have described an arcade.
I’ve won more than $50,000 like 4 times now and just kept playing until it was all gone. It’s a really awful feeling not being able to stop, and constantly thinking about it.
Old people: "young people are addicted to their screens!"
Also old people:
At least young ppls screens won’t generally lose your house 😂..they sure are trying to change that though with sports gambling
@@tomsnowden6201idk man have you ever heard of NFTs
@@Kexiled oh no, the NFT games…
Gambling addiction is scary, I used to but I'm lucky I get off easily because I accidentally bet my entire paycheck once, it stressed me tf out once I found out. Double the paycheck was nice and all, but the possibility of losing entire paycheck traumatized me and made me quit for good. Been a decade since I quit.
You weren't addicted.
Being able to stop like that after a win means you were not addicted.
@@williamn3070 Yeah, since you are clearly the expert. I'm gonna say I'm not addicted.
Just an avid gambler that almost being a homeless, because half of the pay check he already place the bet was supposed to pay rent before my stuff got thrown out.
But hey you are the expert you clearly know the story of my life.
I listened to this while getting ready for work. I’d say the most depressing thing was listening to people not care about family members dying, but the most depressing part was how often it apparently happens.
When you are living in a world where money talks this tends to be the result.
@@jismeraiverhoevenI live in that world. I've called myself a whore because I will do a lot to earn money. I wouldn't do anything like these people. If you think money is what these people are after, you're not paying attention. One of these stories is about someone winning 30K and losing it all. That's what is so sad about these gamblers.
They aren't chasing money. They are chasing a "high". They aren't just bad with money. They need to "win". They're after the dopamine. If they were just desperate for money there wouldn't be as many stories of people winning big only to lose it all.
That's what an addiction does to you. It hollows you out of anything any of your family and friends ever loved and leaves you a You-Shaped flesh suit covering a walking sickness. Your addiction is your God now. Your addiction is your EVERYTHING now.
Some people are not worth caring anyway, I don't see why is that sad.
@@gteixeira
Sometimes people make the worst people.
I only went to a casino one I lost $60 in about 15 min and all I wanted to do was take out more money and keep playing. That was the moment I realized I could not go to casinos ever again
Great choice, imagine how many thousands of $ you've won by doing that decision.
I used to live pretty close to the Canadian side of the Niagara area while in school a few years back. My parents took me to the city there for my birthday, and my dad took me to a casino and showed me around (not entirely sure why, but it was interesting). I used one of the machines ONCE and loved the thrill of it. I haven't done anything gambling-related since.
Well done. My dad was always employed in decent jobs, but never had any money, due to gambling. Depending on how his betting went, decided on how we ate each week. When he retired he would borrow money from everyone he knew; I must have given him close to £15k over the years. I never took the chance of even trying once.
I had a similar experience. I had $100 that I was prepared to lose. I sad down at a $15 blackjack table. I lost my first 5 hands. I was just thinking, "man I was prepared to lose this money, but I was hoping I'd at least get an hour or twos worth of entertainment out of it."
I’m the opposite, I go in with $20, and if I lose it I’m like “flip this crap, let’s ditch this joint fellas”
There’s a movie called “Lost in America” and in it, the couple has cashed in everything and are traveling across America. Well, they stop in Vegas-“Just for the night.” and he wakes up in the middle of the night to find his wife gone from the room. He wonders downstairs to the casino and he can hear her yelling, “COME BACK BIG 9!!! COME BACK BIG 9!!” She had lost their entire nest egg. All $750,000 of it.
Love that movie. Actually, she was betting the number 22.
@@nancybenton5635 was that it?! Hahahaha!! I just remember him not “allowing” her to use the words nest or egg or any combo because she obviously did not understand the concept of a nest egg. Hahahahahaha!!!
@@whomiswhowespeaktobutwhoiswhom right, a bird lives in round stick, and you have things over easy for breakfast. The movie was hilarious. Yes, it was 22, I will never forget it. In fact, I was at the casino yesterday, and I played a little roulette and I put $.50 on 22 and it hit. 22 is the homage to Casablanca. Whenever you see a movie with roulette you will find that they often use the number 22.
@@nancybenton5635 THANK YOU FOR THE REALLY INTERESTING FACTS!! LOVE IT!!!
@@whomiswhowespeaktobutwhoiswhom hahahaha. I’m good for lots of useless information..
Me and my wife went to the casino once just to look around on a road trip we were on. I hadn't intended to gamble but found my favorite slot machine so I chucked in $100 I didn't really wanna spend, played it down to 60 and was about to cut my losses when I won $50. I pulled it out and used the $10 profits to go get us ice cream lol.
That’s how it always starts. Bet if u go back you’ll lose that 100 then put in another 100 thinking you’ll make up for ur losses and still be able to afford ice cream lol
I generally don't gamble what I'm not willing to throw away. I only lost $500 gambling during my week in Vegas cuz that was the limit I set myself. Usually I'm happy just to make $20-40 cuz it can pay for my dinner or whatever
@@greenagoo nice. The first few times I went to Vegas I’d only take $500. This was back in 2014-16 where u can find $15 bj tables on weekends. Now I’ve seen minimums as high as $300 on weekends. Nowadays I usually take 1k and never go to the ATMs. I play pai gow now because it’s a slow game with a lot of pushes
I've worked in a casino for about 6 years myself; I've seen a lot of this stuff happen, and the crazier stuff I haven't seen still seems very plausible.
I had a regular for 3 or 4 years who won a multi million dollar settlement and he blew it all away on high stakes blackjack and now works for the casino at their gas station across the street. So sad cause he was genuinely the nicest guy ever.
I've heard that one thing many gambling addicts have in common is hitting a relatively large payout very early in their gambling "career". If you go to a casino and lose your bankroll in a couple hours, or play the lottery several times and never win anything, it loses its luster (for most people). But if you happen to win some big prize, even a few thousand dollars, it sets an expectation that you're "lucky" and you're more likely going to keep trying to win again.
This video was pretty depressing tbh.
yeah.
Make me want to go down to the casino and gamble $50 to see if I win something jk
Check out 14:00 if you want to feel better
the guy's ridiculous voice makes it even more depressing....
2:30, as an American who recently had to take an ambulance for an accident, the bill for it was a little over $1300.
Played in a casino once, it was a bit of fun. My number was called on roulette on my first spin but I didn't place the minimum bet apparently. Spent a bit on the slots and on a 15 cent bet made $40ish. I genuinely thought I broke the machine and didn't understand how I won. Lost most of it and gave the rest away to people on the slots and never went back. I make enough money to pay my bills and I'd never bet my rent on it. Looking around the place at the people there, I realized it's not a place for happy people.
It’s not a place for happy people…that’s a good way to explain it.
Had a relative who moved to vegas
It was cheap to live there.
She has had modest amount of money
She went to the casino everyday to play video poker
She received free lunch
It took her about 2 years, to loose about 250g ..after loosing all her money .she went to the casino for the free buffet. When she didnt play that day .the casino told her not to come back
I worked in a Casino. It's the saddest place on Earth.
After I lost a couple hundred bucks not long after I was 21 and legal to gamble in Missouri, that was like 25 years ago, never went gambling again. My dad worked as a Pit Boss for a bit, saw a lot of sad stories. It was a bad place.
Hint for gambling from my mom who worked at a casino:
Only bring in 50-100 bucks. Once that original 50-100 bucks is spent, leave. You will either make more money than before or less.
I think 50-100 is too general, it should be a percentage from a dedicated entertainment fund though.
Idk if someone already talked about this, but I had a friend who worked in a casino. While not a sad story, he did tell me that casino’s (at least in that area) would keep tabs on new and returning gamblers who come in. If it was their first time in, good, they would rig the games and give them a better chance of winning so they return, and when they do, they try to earn back as much of that lost money by making it harder to win.
I worked with a woman who had been a dealer and she told me the same thing....new players would have great luck, until their fourth visit.
This is good to know. So use ky entire life savings the first 3 times I go to the casino
I never intend to gamble but this video makes me hate gambling now
My buddy and I saw a guy sitting on the stairs at Foxwoods casino in CT and my buddy sarcastically asked the middle age man why he was crying… he said I have to go back home and tell my family we don’t have a house anymore. My buddy replied, well, sucks to be you.
That's terrible
Hi I have a story I use to work in small casino in the United kingdom , and mostly Chinese people came in and played and there was one Chinese lady who started playing when her pregnant belly wasn’t showing yet she stayed all night and barely eat something so we where giving her ricepudding , and this lady gave birth and in the same day she gives birth she came in at night to play her breastmilk was overflowing from her bra area that was sad to watch gambling it’s a terrible thing when you let your self go. Apologies if I made grammar mistakes English not my 1 language 😅
As an Asian I can say that Asians are very weak to gambling temptation. I really hate this vice
Self-induced vomiting as a "fuck you" is INSANE
😂😂😂
Not gunna lie I’d do the same if i had a hand that was a 99.9% winner and got screwed by that 0.01% chance hand, especially if the payout was gunna be massive if i won, think the sheer shock of it would temporarily implode my brain
As someone who used to live in Las Vegas, none of this surprises me. A shockingly large number of people self-end when they lose big. It happens more often than any casino will ever admit.
I bet Lake Mead is chock full of self-enders (and people who crossed the mafia, but that's a different Reddit thread).
Went to a casino with guy from church just for the experience I did won a bit but never really enjoyed however he did later found he had an addiction messed up a lot his life when the church found out how bad it was they sent and paid for him to get help with addiction he now doing much better
my aunts heart valve exploded in a casino and the one that pulled the booth table away so they could help came into my moms line to checkout because he needed food to get through thanksgiving alone. family maybe stressful or abusive but sometimes you actually love them.
The Second story on #21 was glorious 😂. What a boss
2:35. That pan is gonna be a banger family heirloom for generations now 😂
The background was so fast it made me ill
I couldn’t stand the background.. gave me a headache!
I'm sorry sire
Is it really so triggering to say suicide? Unalive sounds worse than suicide.
@konroh2 - UA-cam won’t let him put ads on the video if he says “suicide” or “killed him/herself”
@@notadvertiserfriendly6084 I understand that, the point is we have to face problems head on, not with semantics. YT does us no favors.
I work security at a casino. On New Years Eve, a man collapsed and had a seizure. He couldn’t speak English so we had a translator. We managed to save his life, but while waiting for the ambulance all he wanted to do is get back up and keep paying his video poker. It’s really sad.
Also I see people at the tables literally every single day. In the middle of the day, for hours and hours. I’ve been here for 3 years
Hoooly fuck. I'm glad this shit is illegal where I grew up. Or, well, the state owns a few casinos _(I think three, one in each of the three biggest cities in the country)_ where you can't bet too much and you can't lose too much, and all the earnings that don't go to pay those who work there and into upkeep of the places goes directly into care for addicts of *any* kind - drug addicts, sex addicts, gambling addicts or whatever. I think that's the best way to keep gambling "clean" and I'm 100% behind it.
Good thinking, Loren
I have a couple rules that I set for myself when gambling, and I stick to them *rigidly*.
Rule 1: If I zero out, what is the absolute maximum I'd be willing to lose? Never put more than that in the machine. If I only have $5 to spare, that's all I put in the machine.
Rule 2: I play for double or nothing. To use my earlier $5 example, If I zero out, oh well, I've only lost $5. If I get a $10 payout, I call it quits.
I worked in the cage. An Indian guy (mid 50's) came to me one time asking about $100,000 USD in outstanding markers, asking when it would be withdrawn from his bank account. He lost 100k gambling.
Also, a couple times I had to cash out customers leaving in handcuffs (some for being drunk/angry, some drugs, some cheating (which is a felony), some for whatever). The worst is seeing an employee get escorted out in cuffs (usually theft).
Story 12 is one I experienced. When I was first assigned to a base in Germany back in the 80s, I was placed in a dorm with a roommate, until I was able to rent a place in a nearby village, who would spend his entire paycheck on slots at the NCO club and be totally broke until next paycheck. At least he had an issued meal card so he was able to eat.
The envy one was great
Online casino worker: I joined a table of speed blackjack and at the point where I was revealing the dealers card one player started writing threats in the chat, I mean, the players had good odds, but one player decided to split 10's and got too many on both sides after hitting, and guess what, those cards would've made the dealer bust, yet the dealer got 21 and everyone lost.
And that player I mentioned lost it, cuz he went all in and he needs that money for living and said he would off himself. I reported him and kept doing my job while advocating that it's not a good idea and he should've been responsible with his expenses. So he left the table, a bit later two guys came and eventually closed the table, once the cameras were off I asked them if it's about what just happened, they said no, they were there to just change the camera. Honestly, was scared that I did something wrong, but never got anything about what happened after.
I went to a casino only twice in my life. Won $144 when putting $100 in a Cleopatra themed machine, won in blackjack as well, lost in everything else.
I always use cash, leave my cards at home, and set an alarm on my phone.
Saw a mother sell her wedding ring for $100 in chips only to lose it all 3 minutes later, her baby was crying in its stroller.
That's terrible
As a pretty fresh 21 year old, this video instilled a healthy caution for casinos and gambling, thanks!
watching this hoping it’ll scare me to go back to online casino (it’s just giving me more motivation)
I went to the Casino like once in my live. Last time I checked there was a ban on gambling in a casino within a certain area from where you live in Germany, to avoid stories like those to happen. idk if that was lifted at some point and tbh I'm not really interested as I rather stay away from gambling entirely.
My first time at a casino I witnessed a really drunk guy lose everything at the roulette table and try to fight someone. No more than 10 minutes later I saw him on the ground passed out pissing his pants with security crowding around him. He was at least 40 years old and you could tell this wasn't his first time there. I asked the dealer about him and they said he went to ATM at least 4 times only to return to the table and lose everything. He had a wedding ring on so I legitimately felt bad because his family is most likely going to suffer due to his addiction that casinos support. I bet they offered him a couple free nights after losing all that money just for him to come back and do it again
Some of these are bad... but I can't really bring myself to feel bad for them. This really is a case of play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Addiction isn't by coincidence and only on terrible choices. These venues are designed to play on every fucking instinct a human has to draw them in. From how the slots are placed in an almost maze-like structure, to lights, sounds and anything else that'll make someone physically addicted through dopamine hits. They have people to research which sounds and tricks that has the highest probability of keeping them playing.
I feel bad for people that get addicted this badly to gambling in the same way I feel bad for people with a drug addiction or eating disorder. The power is within them to change but it's definitely easier said than done.
You can know someone is being foolish and still feel sad for them. Complex emotions are indeed possible.
@@T3n50rDon't forget that there are no clocks or windows so you lose all sense of time, and that a vast majority of people don't understand how statistics work...
@@ResidentMilf For sure, my personal thinking is that these places should be allowed to operate but to put them in a good light is glamorizing the devil himself.
My rule for playing at casinos is quite literally to not think of it as an opportunity to make money, but just to go and have fun with the machines. Just how you pay for tickets when you go to a theme park, I’d go with money specifically in mind to spend on the casino
I worked at one on evs for two years. Saw people who were there 24 hours after I left the day before and never left. Saw people cash their social security checks. I've seen fights over "lucky" machines
When talking about people dying in a casino….reminds me of working at a major manufacturer. The saying was, no employee ever died there. No matter if your head was smashed like a pancake, they would say that they had a pulse as they loaded you up into ambulance. People always were “alive” when they left company property. Thankfully I never had any firsthand experience with a situation like that while working there
I worked at slots place few years ago, just few machines, nothing fancy. IT was "illegal" place and ugly neighbourhood. Most od the players was workers of the shipyard nearby - cheap drugs, cheap beers and shit like this. Iv seen plenty of guys burning whole monthly paycheck on just one night, sometimes just on couple of hours. I will never forget their empty look and questions they Ask themselves "what will I tell my wife?" I worked there just a couple of months and I have gambling allergy since that time.
Gambling addiction has seriously destroyed lives and ruined marriages and broken families apart. We have a family in our larger family that ended up divorced because the husband/father got so addicted to gambling that he was losing all of his paycheck & had been taking out his pension money for quite a long time, and he was about to lose the family home all due to his addiction. His wife had to divorce him to protect herself because she is older & not well and didn’t want to be homeless with no ability to care for herself. He has no interest in stopping.
Hope you are OK, Loren
My brother is a Slot Machine Programmer for Gauselman (Merkur Group) He says, "there is no winning Slot Machine Player in existence. It is not possible" ^^
one of the saddest things is probably me disnowning my family a soon as i graduate
Some of these are just fake. $30k is “life changing money” but he makes $2-3k a week but also sleeps in his truck? Ok
Yeah, loved hearing about degenerate gamblers.... None of whom even tried to get the psychological help they desperately needed.
I got an ad for a casino while watching this 💀
At my local casino a guy aged over 90 would visit and play poker. The staff had notification that the guy was going to die at any moment. I even heard them saying 'doctor said he's ready to drop at any time'. Did they stop him gambling? Heck no.
Not a casino employee, but...
It was near Christmas. I was walking across the parking lot, when you see a woman hitting a man over the head repeatedly with her giant purse and screaming, "YOU LOST ALL OUR CHRISTMAS MONEY!!!""" The man just kept walking in a daze as she kept repeatedly bonking him on the head.
I once got up to go use the restroom and there was a stream of diarehea going into the men's room. Ewww.........waited too long.
Was 20k in profit and I couldn't believe it.
Lost that 20k and proceeded to lose another 20k of my own.
I feel like shit , I've stopped gambling for 2-3 months now but still get urges and it fcks with my head.
It’s sad that many dealers also gamble. You would think after they have seen a sea of slubs losing money would turn them off gambling but when I’ve talked to dealers they alway talk about that one guy last week that hit it big and completely disregard thousands of losers.
I parked in a casino parking lot one evening and as soon as I walk away from my car heard a loud noise and saw a flash inside a vehicle nearby. You can imagine what I thought. Called 911 and within 30 seconds the police showed up. They approached the car, guns drawn, flashlights out, etc One of cops told his partner "we have a 10-56" upon looking inside of it.
I'm lucky genetically, not an addictive personality or whatever they call it but these stories break my heart. I used to do a lot of programming and all these gambling places have algorithms that find heavy gamblers and give them incentives to come back. The algorithms could easily identify, cut-off, and recommend treatment for same, they don't though, do they?
I love poker, but without actual money bets.
Its way more fun to just casually play it without ever betting any actual money or currency.
I'm the same way with blackjack. I just legit like playing it lol and I don't even gamble.
@@turdferguson2 exactly! its just a fun game to play in general
I lowkey love and hate when i know enough about the story the posters make, to know that its a conpletely made up story for reddit attention. Then people share it not knowing any better...
There’s no way anyone over the age of 12 uses the phrase “unalivrd themselves”.
If you can’t be disciplined when gambling don’t go it will ruin you mentally fast, I used to not be disciplined would go in and keep taking $$ out and leaving extremely mad but I changed accepting that I’m going to lose way more than ever winning so whenever I go now which is maybe 5 times a year I only take 300 cash leave my wallet home which is 2 hours from casino and some trips I lose my 300 and some trips I’ll profit 200-1500 dollars but I mainly go to eat at buffet hang with friends and just enjoy getting away and not making it a trip of losing all my $$ and getting behind on bills thinking I’m going to win a million dollars
#21. That. Was. AWESOME!
I work in the prize area and an older gentleman plays a slot near me hit a jackpot and died afterwards it was heartbreaking.
Biggest tragedy is to see someone sit and play 6-5 blackjack and continuously shuffled blackjack. The biggest tragedy is to see someone sit down and play triple zero roulette. The biggest tragedy is to see someone walk up to a Crapless Craps table and play. It’s so upsetting that I actually walk up to them and convince them to get up and stop playing.
My nephew was always wanting to "borrow" some money to play the fairground type gambling machines, (penny slots, push twopence, etc) On holiday I got really fed up and gave my mate a twenty, My nephew a twenty and let him play.end of a couple of hours my nephew had some tokens worth about 2. Wt this I annouced lets spend our winnings at the cafe.Needless to say me and my friend got a right royal feast and change and my nephew begged for food. After dinner I said "want to go gambling again?" No takers...
Now what's funny about casino's in my state, we have two casinos now but I think they still haven't repealed the law banning BINGO. Yes, Bingo, because its a form of gambling. However you can play Bango which is the same exact game just with a A instead of an I because the law banned the game by its name. The only people who could legally set up Bingo games were the Indian Revs and they had a massive Bingo parlor. However since the state legalized casinos, the Bingo and Bango Parlors closed and we've kept the revs from building a Casino repeatedly because the two we already have don't want competition.
Bingo Local, Yes what she said
I had 3 gambling adverts on this video 😭
While I didn’t witness it myself, security at the casino I used to work had to stop a guy from jumping off the parking garage
Had 2 jump from our parking garage, sad
I worked in the casino industry for 12 years. There is no particular sad story I care to share. They were all sad to one degree or another. I left the business in 2007. I've never set foot in a casino again.
I went gambling once, never went again, too much fun and casinos are just too fun. Wow this video is sad.
15:46 Petty does indeed mean small. It's a corruption of the French Petit.
A B.J.Player pulls wad of cash , about 10K wrapped with a large rubber band ,.... after a couple $500 buy ins , then a couple $1K buy ins , then a couple $2K buy ins , then a 3K buy in .......each time his large rubber band , wrapped 3 or 4 times around his bankroll , came off , then wrapped back on. ... after 30 minutes of play , and a , " hot " , shoe for the house ,.....the player quit in disgust , ... said thanks and left the rubber band on the table , empty and out of a job !....then l noticed he walked right over to the ATM ,....to reload on some ammunition 😳😳😳.....l guess some people NEVR learn !!.... ☹️☹️☹️
Went to gamble once.
Lost 15 bucks, got pissed about it and decided against gambling reql money ever again.
Spend the rest of my stay there watching a friend - interesting guy, knew the meta-game to these virtual slot machines - turn 5 bucks into 150, and walked out. Later, he repeated that feat.
I have 20 years of sad stories, but you will need to buy my book to see them 🤦🏻♂️
bet !
Dude you don't even need this video. Just watch a bossmanjack stream and you'll see for yourself
I went to gamble in Maricopa CO. just south towards Tecson. I went in, saw couples staring at screens like it will save them. I passed old woman that I would talk, we talked about infinite topics, in 10min. I got to a nice one-armed bandit and placed me money in the slot. The graphics, I saw crap not as good as Atari 2600 but cool, $370 on a less then ten investment. Instantly a gal shows up and says what would you like to drink? I gave her a $5 bill and said just a water please. I at that moment kept playing and after she go back, JESUS, Leave I am 240 more, why not leave earlier? I was scared that I ordered something. Casinos are ikky, not the people the MGMT, Best/Worst Day.
Whats up with the corny background?
For Pai gow, I was at the Venetian in Las Vegas and heard someone muck a straight flush so no one got paid their envy..
Probably the table criers. You know, people who are actually crying while you're smoking hot and smashing everyone, and they keep betting and losing, and you have to keep taking their money. Pretty sad. The suicides were sad stories, although I've never witnessed one. One lady parked her car down the road and jumped in front of a bus doing 50 mph. Another one chucked himself out of a 22nd-story window. Multiple deaths in hotel rooms and parking garages from suicides and overdoses. I worked at the world's largest casino and switched to the world's second largest casino over eight years, so there were plenty of stories.
Winning isn’t this hard at a casino
Poker is the only Casino Game I'll gamble serious Money playing- turns out I'm pretty good and skill can give you a more than 50% edge, you just gotta be really careful. You can also win overall at blackjack. Anything else is a big nope for me. I would gamble at chess but I've not seen that in a Casino before- only been a handful of times though. I do hope to be able to play Poker regularly at some point- low stakes, it's just a fun game- you've got to get past the Money and pressure first, then it's tons of fun! Don't play Poker to win or make Money, it's sad to see People play who aren't there for fun. Never gamble what you can't afford to lose! Don't be emotional!
I really love that 15:30 ish Story- greedy shmucks!
Must've been some pan... 🍳
all redditors have the same writing style and skill level, which is something i've noticed since 2010. I was a heavy user myself for nearly 10 years and have noticed my own writing ability plummet since I stopped using and contributing many years ago.
oh my god ur right...
Idk man ppl dont think cuz you physically have to get up insert your card and punch the pin in for that more than enough. Tyey need a few mins also S15 i think about the lottery ticket op could have said no brother thats sad
Self ending is probably the best thing that can happen to gambling addicts and their families
Watching a old lady grab the slot machine handle and pulling it as she fell over backwards and dieing on the floor
My uncle lost his entire pension but he won that one 30k so he kept trying. We tried going to the casino and they wouldn't do a thing because he had to.
I worked at one for like 3 years . I could tell you some shit.
I've seen couples killed over bad checks and other things...
I had to laugh about slot machines being everywhere in Germany. At the Frankfurt airport, there were slot machines everywhere lined up like median strips in the middle of the walkways. Not sure if that’s still true. After hearing these stories, I’m glad that I find gambling boring.
had a religious person get spicy when i sat down and played min bet, and was winning majority of the bets. also didn't help that i was wearing a pewter ring with a sigil of one of king solomons keys on my left hand. btw, person was dropping large sums on multiple hands as well as being nasty to the dealer and me
I like slots... has my soul died
I don’t know how people can get addicted to gambling
Same way you get addicted to video games or competition. You get a dopamine hit from winning, then just like any addiction you go chasing that next dopamine hit until you've ruined your life.
It's not really the gambling itself that people get addicted to, it's the feeling of being a special winner. It's just like clout chasers. They'll risk everything to get that next high of being popular and desired. Gamblers are chasing that next big exciting jackpot with the flashing lights and people around them screaming in excitement and telling how awesome and amazing they are and the casino employees coming up and congratulating them and handing them a big wade of cash. In their mind it's a little piece of proof that they are in fact awesome. That's what there chasing after. I have rarely had someone desire to be paid out privately even though we do ask. They want everyone to see it. See that they are special. That's what creates the dopamine hit. That's what make them feel special. That's what they're addicted to.
That might be the case for some but most just want to win money, when they do win they go back and lose so they keep chasing a win to get back what they lost.
@@goddesst That's a different phenomenon, which explains how you can sit down for an evening of casual gambling and end up losing your house and car. Most people who do this learn their lesson and it never happens again. Addiction is different; it's an inability to stop.
15:40, those people are idiots for not taking the deal to guarantee the money. Good on thay guy for holding his ground and telling them to fuck off.
2 kids went into cardiac by the roulette tables.. some other player had sold them fent.. i believe one survived but the other died and while he was on the floor other players would just step over his body so they could bet $25 on black
No stoppage in any of the games or anything..pissed off a lot of the floor supervisors
After dealing eight years, not one of these stories surprises me. Fun trip down memory lane, thanks. I laughed at most of these stories. During my last year, I stopped giving a shit and spoke my mind with zero filter about how I felt about how stupid people were and I'd tell them to go home. "Yeah, you're getting smashed today champ..zero chance bud. Bad idea but thanks for coming." Laugh when they lose and keep saying "I'm sorry." They hate that.
