Hi all Having worked in one of our casino, I noticed some really sad scenarios 1) Almost 9 out of 10 gamblers are locals 2) I always see the same people playing. Out of curiousity, I asked casually some of these people, ''have u won so far'' ? I know the answer in my heart, but i just ask because i wanted to see their reactions. Some of them tried to divert the question by answering casually... ''sometimes win,sometimes lose loh'', some answered me directly ''lose until no more pants liao'' . I smiled back to them, deep inside they know they are addicts, but they cannot help it, sad isnt it? They will continue playing until reality hits them, that their money could be used for better means. But not until they lose all their money Why the casinos will always win ? Simply because they have a edge. 1) Baccarat - 5% tax on Banker, or at Non-Commission Baccarat 50% tax on winning 6. Card rules steer to Banker's edge, so u cannot bet on Player and hope to have a 50-50 chance. How to win? Play once on banker, and leave if u win. That's how to win. AND DO NOT COME BACK AGAIN. If lose how? Its your luck really. 2) Blackjack/Pontoon- House gets to act last. We take your money if u bust. But if banker bust, we do not refund you your money. Really 50-50 meh? 3) Sic-Bo . Big/Small/Odd/Even seems 50-50 ? Any triple comes up and we will ''gob'' your bets. 4) Roulette- Special green 0 , your enemy. 37 numbers on the wheel(including 0) and we pay out 35 to 1 if u win, do the maths. 5) Stud Poker - We only qualify if we have Ace/King . So what if u get straight/flush or higher? We only pay your ante. Progressive jackpots payouts? Its patron's money. Take for instance $2 for 1 credit, we only credit $1.5 into the jackpot meter, and $0.5 into our pockets. 6) Texas Hold-em bonus - We pay out ante only on straight or higher, and eat your ante/bets if u lose. 7) Three-Pictures - Another version of Baccarat, but even sillier, there's no card rules and we still eat 50% if u win on 6, despite having no advantage at all. 8) Money wheel - Didnt count the exact number of partitions there are on the wheel, but trust me, it will never be player's advantage. 9) Slot machines- machines designed to take in dollars and pay out in cents. My friends, do not believe u can earn a steady income in a casino. We build the casinos, we set the rules, we pay thousands of employees wages. We provide you free beverages, free memberships to earn points. There's no free lunch in this world, your entertainment comes at your own cost. I m not saying do not come into a casino, treat casinos as entertainment, dont play as if tommorrow the casino will close. Make friends with each other, your visits will be more fun for us dealers and for yourselves. Play responsibly , no one ever makes a living from gambling in a casino. You win today, can you win again tomorrow? Can you win every single time? All it takes is one time to lose, and u try to recover back and human's weakness and greed takes over.
