These 25 Casino Dealers Saw People Instantly Destroy Their Lives

This Asian lady shows up, parks right in front of the casino and comes in looking for her husband. It’s 5am on Christmas morning. I look in the back of the car and two kids probably between 4 and 6 are sitting in the car in the their Pjs. Lady asks us to look around for him but gives us very little description. We can’t find him. So she comes in and searches for 10 minutes before I see her leading this guy out in a disheveled suit. She looks PISSED. That was the saddest thing I’ve ever witnessed.

Supervisor noticed an old Chinese man had been sitting at the $5 table for most of the day, maybe betting once every 30-40 minutes. Kind of standard for the area, so didn’t really pay attention to it. 6 hours in and night-shift supervisor takes over, gets the 411 from the previous sup’ and gets into it. Old man still chillin’ like a villain, no cares in the world. One hour later however…. it the swamps of dagobah! Turns out the old man didn’t want to get up while playing (This is actually more common than you think) and thought it was just fine to drop his guts into the chair and pretend nothing had happened. He had to be escorted out and sent to the hospital because the remnants he left didn’t look healthy…… Tables closed for ‘maintenance’ but that smell fucked with everyone in the pit for hours.

Watching other dealers take their tokes and sit down at a table and lose it all after their shift ended.

I worked in a casino near China town in London and we had a new member sign up. He had recently inherited a huge fortune from a relative, it was his first time in the casino. I saw him more and more regularly as the months went by. I think it was about 6 months after his first visit I saw him literally begging for money in Chinatown… Greed, It gets everyone.

Some guy in a ratty t-shirt sits down and his wife (or gf I dunno) stands a couple feet behind him. He starts playing aggressively and is losing fast. When he starts losing his SO starts losing it. Tears start flowing and I hear her saying softly “that’s our rent” and “how are we gonna feed our kid” and shit like that. Welp, as you can guess, he blows through almost all of his money and she’s outright bawling her eyes out. One of the pit bosses has noticed this scene and comes over and tells the guy he can’t play any longer, which just pisses the dude off. He says he needs to win his money back and the casino is fucking him and all this other stupid shit.
