I snitched on a player doing self-harm

#1
Last night I reported to security a nut sitting at a slot machine punching himself in the face after each pull. They told me "He's allowed." :mad: What a bunch of a-holes, allowing that just because he's a profitable player from the perspective of the casino.

I suppose he could have been religious and was practicing corporal mortification. :whip: But wouldn't playing slots be considered punishment enough? :angel::devil:

I tend to hit myself when messing up at something. Obviously slots don't involve skill, but I understand the desire to hit yourself.


If he's not hurting anyone else, why would they remove him from the casino? He will just find somewhere else to lose and punch himself. Might as well make money from him if he will punch himself no matter what. Heartless? Maybe. True, yeah.

Some people carry a rabbit's foot, this guy punches himself in the face. To each his own. :laugh:

Only problem will be when his lucky ritual becomes punching a security guard in the face...

Maybe he's just starting his Lenten sacrifice a little early. After all, it's already Quinqagesima Sunday week, so why not? Myself, back in the day, I used to pay good money for a chick to spank me all night. :whip:

Maybe he tries to break his gambling addiction by not pulling the lever. Whenever he cannot resist, he'll punch himself for therapy.

Nice camo, though :)

I would think that this has to be bad for business. It is my presumption that the slots in his immediate area were barren because nobody wanted to play near the creepjob. This kind of patron makes for a weird playing environment.

It also might have the effect of pushing the marginal customer away to the competition.

Marginal Customer: "I don't want to go to casino A, for there are creepjobs there that punch themselves in the face while they play."

Was he punching himself after EVERY pull, or just the LOSING ones?
Couldn't really tell, but it appeared to not be correlated to results.

He was also barking, making noises that one would associate with a person with mental retardation. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a retardate playing in a casino, and I've got to wonder about the legality of accepting action from a person who would not be allowed to enter into a contract in any other situation.

Then again, gambling in and of itself may be considered a mental illness. ;)

Reprobates welcome retardates. :joker:

Barking sounds like a case of Aspergers and hitting oneself would indicate a some sort of personality or conduct disorder. Either way, I would say it is bad for business and the casino is business-stupid to allow it.

walk down the strip any night, and you'll see people doing crazier things than that. If they sent him outside, he may pound his head against a brick wall. Got to be half nuts to play the slots anyway.

And when they arrest an AP and try to declare disturbing others or the peace this would be a nice video to show in court!

Everybody has a way off justifying a loss. Take the guy & his wife on the way up to their room. Husband: You lost $200 in those f slot machines. Wife: But you lost $5000 playing blackjack. husband: thats because I know how to gamble & you don't.

That's funny. :laugh::laugh:

And it reminds me of a similar situation that happened to ME once. I was playing BJ and correctly stood on 16 vs. a dealer's 10. The guy right after me ALSO had 16 & stood. When the dealer turned over a 6 & hit it with a 5, the guy comes unglued: "Why on Earth did you stand on 16? The dealer had a TEN up!" I quietly replied: "But YOU stood on 16 also." His response: "It's different. I know what I'm doing!" :laugh:

Well they may be wrong in that situation about themselves knowing what they are doing and the other person also doing it is somehow not doing it right.


However, I've seen people stupid their way into the correct play in poker more times than my rage threshold can handle. Someone who limps with every hand they are dealt, I raise them with a good hand, they just call again. They check the flop, I bet, they call (I have an overpair to the board). I bet again when checked to, they call. At this point I am certain that I have the best hand because they do this nearly every single hand. They check it to me again, I shove, they call and show pocket kings.

They always play every hand like this, but their insane stupidity actually tricked me into thinking that I had the best hand when I shoved.
