"One of the saddest things I've seen was a regular patron who had clearly lost more than just money over time. He'd come in frequently, always chasing his losses, and it was evident that his gambling habit had taken a toll on his personal life. Over the months, he became more withdrawn, and his clothes and demeanor showed signs of neglect. It was heartbreaking to watch someone lose not just financially but also in terms of their well-being and relationships."

Glad I never developed the taste for gambling.

What a stupid idiot. Blame others for his own faults, life decisions and his addiction. Let Darwin sort him out.

Was at a casino and took away a 5 figure amount. Had to work a year for it :). But in that time I saw elderly ready at 13:00 to blast away their retirements. Blackjacker with a stack of 10k chips on the table (you know, the BIG rectangular ones). Oil-sheiks that got a private roulette room with a minimal 1000 euro bet. We also found forged chips. But our policies made sure we hardly came across these sad stories I read here.
Oh, and the training facilities for croupiers were a lot of fun to be. We learned to explain the payout of slotmachines. To do that, we would fill them up with (training) coins and start playing. Some machines you could bet 5 coins on each of the 7 winlines. So 35 coins in a single push of a button, gone. You could have a bucket of coins, spend a few minutes filling the machine with m, and then play it away in 60 seconds.
