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.

    I worked at a casino for over 5 years as a cashier and I have had so many people upset at me because I stole all their money when they come up and turn in chips or tickets. The saddest story for me was a regular of ours and her husband would come in 2-3 times a week to have fun and play a certain set of slot machines that was always in front of the cage/cashier area. At some point we noticed they didn't show for a couple weeks and we thought it was strange but figured that they were probably on vacation. Fast forward 2 more weeks and the wife shows up and you can tell something was wrong. Come to find out, her husband died in a car accident and she was still devastated. It got to the point one night where she got so drunk she peed herself and passed out and fell out of her chair. She eventually got banned from the casino due to the amount of times she would just pee herself at her chair and crying. I don't know what happened to her ever since but I do hope she is okay.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    For me, gambling is a pretty big component of my relationship with my mother. She used to bring us to bingo when we were underage, and to casinos when we were of age. I was always encouraged to bring money and 'have fun'.. She was always a bit annoyed when I only brought something like 50 or 100 bucks, what I could afford to lose. But to be honest? I knew it would go in like, an hour and I really wanted to leave. I just don't like casinos. They're so overwhelming, too much noise and flashing lights. It just never was for me, and I'm glad.

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.

    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

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.

    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.

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.

      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.

Even tho I never lost any of my money it still haunts me every night.

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.
