Tweet Me Balls posted:i wish more business models revolved around giving you booze to make stupid decisions to make the business owner more money. that is supposedly why it is illegal to give out free drinks in a lot of (most?) states with casinos. but if they want to give out free drinks and their hands are tied by Johnny Law, why do they still have a 300-500% markup on alcoholic beverages? i don't think drunks are really that essential to profits for a lot of casinos (ones outside of Vegas, especially), in my experience, they often slow games down in their drunken stupor resulting in less bets for the casino with a house edge. of course, said drunks may not have made their bets without a little lube. still, i think most people who play are sobers or very casual drinkers where alcohol plays little role in their bets. though, vegas is probably the place where giving out free alcohol is worthwhile since it's a tourist destination and other casinos are much less so.

I'd gamble and play the lotto if I knew how to cheat at it. Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat

I worked at a drug store for a few years, and people take their tickets pretty seriously. Check a massive stack of tickets, no winners (maybe the occasional free ticket), they then spend $50 replacing said stack. Spend $10 on break opens (pull tabs), win $3, buy more, win $1 get $3 more, continue until you bought the stack. No, not every stack has a winner, we make those little stacks tied with rubber bands our selves, though from my experience break opens give the best odds. Then there are quirks like get one scratch ticket from the top of the pile, and one from the bottom. There was a guy that was a regular who several times won $100 on break open tickets, after spending only a little, so maybe he is naturally lucky, or perhaps God favors him, and if you don't win at gambling he openly hates you. i dunno, I am not an expert.

Yeah that sounds pretty accurate, though I always found people with stacks of tickets had built the stack up over a few weeks.

zoux posted:They are numbers games that the government runs that basically only poor people participate in, spending a disproportionately high amount of their own income in a game they will never win and also that money never finds its way into the programs it is supposed to. I really hate it when there is a long line and a almost always African-American customer hollers some lotto slang. "Gimme a straight box and a dingaling."

I love that the casinos are parasitic wealth extraction operations, greedily burrowing into the landscape infecting and corrupting the host community, building a corporate wonderland overseen by salivating, avaricious moneymen whose singular concern is evisceration of all obstacles on their quest for astronomical levels of personal luxury. It's really loving turning me on guys. hail satan
