These 25 Casino Dealers Saw People Instantly Destroy Their Lives

People that start stealing and robbing their “friends” because they just have to keep gambling. Borrowing money and then disappearing for months only to be found at another casino cause he was dodging his friends.

I was dealing blackjack in the high limit room. Table had a minimum $1000 bet and a game called Lucky Ladies where you placed a side bet with a $25 minimum. The objective was to get 2 queen of hearts dealt to your hand and you’d win a jackpot in the hundreds of thousands. When I arrived, a player had been playing both, blackjack and lucky ladies all night. He was down quite a few hundred thousand and was looking to get it back. He was down to his last $25 chip and he looked at me square in the face. He said, “nah, you’re not lucky” (as a dealer for him). He pulled back his side bet while I did a table sweep to pull out the cards. Out came two queen of hearts on his spot. He slammed the table so hard it got everyone’s attention. He said, “I’m glad there’s a bridge by this casino.” I was crushed dealing it to him.

It was a normal night when he heard a woman screaming bloody murder. He looked up at the exact moment to see a man who had just lost his life’s savings at the next table over, pull out a knife and slit his own throat.

It’s 3am & there is one guy left on my friends blackjack table. I hear that the guy is down about $1600, he’s been here since like 8pm. Then out of nowhere… a lady walks up from behind him & downright slaps him across the face. He turns back and continues to play. Its his wife & he hasn’t been home in 2 days, she knew he was here because he drained their bank account. She is now crying & says “Fine! If you want to bet it all, BET IT ALL!” as she reaches in her purse & pulls out a family picture & places it in the bet box! “Go ahead, bet it all, because we have nothing left because of you!” as she walks out the casino. Dude is now crying with his head down, dealer is like WTF, everyone is stone cold quiet. Dude gets up, grabs his last $200 in chips, grabs the photo & walks out.

A man comes in, buys in for 1k. Loses it. Leaves. Comes in 2 weeks later, does the same thing. The cycle continues until he’s living at the casino for the next 3 months. He was desperate for attention & pissed off every dealer. He bought friends with his winnings, & had a small following of leeches who would do his bidding for the scraps he would give them. Eventually, it got to the point the casino manager was babysitting him. Telling him when it was time to sleep, eat, etc. In the end, our casino had enough & kicked him out. Only one house continued to take his action. One of his groupies found him in his room curled up in a fetal position, moaning from pain. He had cirrhosis of the liver. He was killing himself in the slowest possible way. The rumor had it that he was picked up several weeks later by his wife & put into a program. Turns out, even his liver had let him down.
