I stayed in the Luxor in Vegas for about 5 or 6 days when I was road tripping the US, which is long but we used it as a base to visit other, better/more interesting nearby places (Zion, Grand Canyon, Area 51). The whole city is a monument to hubris and the embodiment of everything wrong with the country but seeing the totally zombified people sat at those machines and then coming back 3 hours later and seeing them in the same position was the most depressing thing about it.

I really want to believe that they’re all participating in an updated Milgram Shock Experiment and some volunteer is getting totally pulsed by them.

Gambling seems like a real gnarly addiction to me because there's like no limit to how much money you can blow. Drugs, sex, and food are limited by what your body can handle but you can just to blow any amount of money in like 2 minutes if you wanted.

Could Jeff Bezos walk up to a roulette table and say "10 billion on 17, lol"? If feel like there must be a limit. I hope you find this thought comforting.

BiggerBoat posted:It's usually not about the money either but the rush and the risk. I read an article that said if you made it so a player could win like 98% of the time that they would actually lose interest and get bored playing which sounds believable. These forums and vampire survivor taught me about intermittent reinforcement and there were stories of people who might win something and get that small rush but they know they've already been sitting there for 5 hours and lost thousands prior to it, so the reward doesn't even outweigh their total losses. It's super sad.

Slugworth posted:Actually, I think you'll find that there is indeed a limit, and a lot of people find it. No doubt. What I see unfold is that players mostly do two things: 1. If they're winning, they feel like they're playing with house money so they stay and keep playing 2. If they're losing, they feel compelled to chase it and make it back The goal of the casino is to simply keep you playing because if you do that long enough, you WILL lose. It's basic math and statistical probabilities. All the house needs is something like a 47%-53% advantage. I get the sense that players inherently realize this but always think that this time they'll get lucky or want to try a new system/strategy. I don't entirely understand it, beyond the basic endorphine chasing nature of addiction but it's fascinating to watch and makes me really glad I don't gamble. At the height of my cocaine addiction I was spending like $300 - 500 a week and these people will come into my workplace and lose that in 15 minutes. Seems like a really stupid way to spend your time to me. If I had thousands of dollars and hours to waste, I'd go read a book, write a book, paint, draw, sit on the beach, buy a motorcycle, learn guitar, get laid... Hell, I'd spend it on drugs for that matter. A lot of them obviously have money to burn and say they play "because it's fun" but...wtf is fun about it? If I could afford to dump 6 month's pay in 2 hours, I can think of a million different ways to do it than gambling. And, by and large, they don't seem to be having much fun anyway. They bitch about where they all get to sit at the table, think dealers are bad luck, whine about other players "stealing their hand" and are only (occasionally) happy when they hit a big win. They'll blow $2000 in half a day as they sit there bitching about taxes, ignoring texts and calls from their jobs, their spouse and god knows what. It's odd. The ones that really get me, though, and who exhibit the real nature of the addiction, are the ones who complain when they WIN. Because they lowered their bet, lost the hand yet still won bonus money (net profit) or were upset that they only had a full house instead of four of a kind. They'll rake in $500 in one hand and then 2 hands later bitch about not catching any good cards. It's a little bit like when you see someone ahead of you in line at the gas station that you know can't afford it blow a hundred bucks on scratch offs and powerball tickets. Only, in the case of my job, many of these people can easily afford it. Somehow. I swear to god, I think it's maybe 20 or 30 people that fund the entire place and several of them are lined up at the door every fuckign day when we open at 10am.

The casino I drive by on my way home from work had a big message up "Slot Floor closed 2AM-5AM at *location*" but assuring patrons that their other games were open, and they could still play slots at the smoking allowed location down the road.

I've only been to casinos a few times, and I can enjoy gambling a little bit without ever coming close to my small limits I've put in place (like: set a $300 limit for a vegas trip, lose $50 over 3 days). I can generally just treat it as "spending" money rather than "betting" money. Hanging out with your friends for a few hours, with free drinks and an activity where you lose money slowly is fine if you know that's what you're doing. But the last time I did this was for a buddy's bachelor party 6 or 7 years ago, at a casino in Detroit. He was playing small money on some video slot machine, and the vaguely-30ish lady next to him hit like a $1500 jackpot and just didn't react at all. We started congratulating her and she said "yeah, but this loving thing took 8 grand from me yesterday" which really just sucked all the air out of the room. What the gently caress are you doing here

I worked on a casino boat where every Thursday was "VIP Day" for our high rollers. Guys would start with 4 racks of coins and cash out with both arms full. One day they implemented a ~3% reduction in bonus cash points and they were PISSED.

What pisses me off is how hard they work to make those dolls a thing, and while successful it is not a thing. The company just gets turned out from one owner to the next as they realize this is not the quick market smashing toy they hoped it'll become.
