Probably because I am very fortunate; but I have never done anything but lose from Vegas games to the Lottery and poker with friends.
Based on that - I think an open informational model would go a long way.
I imagine this would be a history or graphing of win vs. loss and dollar amounts or similar statistics for the customer/gambler.
It could be provided on say a slip of paper, presented each time the customer goes to the cage or buys chips at the tables.
The customer could even refuse the paper if they 'wanted to bury their head in the sand'.
- cmdrfred 10y agoSame here, I know guys who go out and buy lottery tickets all the time. I've only ever lost so I have 0 interest.
- jedberg 10y agoInteresting idea. They tried that with smoking and it only had moderate success. I wonder if it would be any better with gambling. "Your most likely outcome at this table is to lose 20 cents for every 10 dollars you play". Or "If you play $100 at this table you will most likely leave with $98". The problem is you'd need to find a way that actually sounds bad.
