This seems instructive for considering when a difference in degree makes for a difference in kind. Let's call this "whale potential": the amount of money that a power user can naturally funnel into a casino over a single visit is multiple orders of magnitude more than the amount of money that a power user can funnel into a ski resort over a single visit. For a casino, the act of a customer losing money is not merely a side effect of the activity, it is the primary effect of the activity.
- postflopclarity 7mo agoI think you might be underestimating how much money can be spent at a ski resort.
- Kirby64 7mo agoThere’s only so much you can spend at a ski resort. Casinos there is literally no limit. The high roller salons can have games with 10k+ per hand/game or more.

So an entire week-long ski holiday in the alps costs you around € 1.700. I will not try to argue if this is much or little, just trying to add some context for those not familiar with popular skiing tourism destinations.
