Atlantic City in New Jersey is a casino paradise for the known gambler and I can see why. There’s something about that adrenalin rush after winning a game or even losing one that lures you to want to play again - it’s purely addictive.
Casinos in AC are cunning in how they operate I suppose it’s because they know that essentially they’re making quadruple amounts from people. All the machines and tables scream money, they give away free drinks while you gamble (they like to make you feel comfortable while you gamble away your money) and they entice you before you even get there. I bought a return coach ticket for 32 dollars - but the catch is with each purchase you make they give you a “free” bonus of 20 dollars to use at the casinos, so basically I paid 12 dollars for my ticket and had 20 dollars casino money to spend - the enticement.
There’s so many casinos in Atlantic City, some of the big ones are Trump and Caesars each drawing thousands of people. In England people bar hop, here people casino hop - jumping from one casino to the next hoping their luck changes with each new casino.
People on holiday, people who actually try to make a living from gambling, drug dealers etc - everyone’s here but I’ve noticed there’s certainly a generational gap on who will tend to do what to gamble. Older people, like your grandmas, and grandpas, tend to stick to the fruit machines - or the 25 cent, 50 cent, one dollar cent machines as some people call them. I saw one elderly lady occupying one seat but playing two machines at the same time, probably spending her monthly entitlement.
Middle aged and younger people tend to be around the tables - ie poker tables, etc. People are watched like hawks, for example on each table you have to make hand movements in front of the camera. If you want another card, you can’t say that you want one you have to indicate you want one by tapping the table. My favourite table has to be Black Jack (Also known as 21). It’s like a 50/50 chance of winning but it’s also very much down to strategy.
The addiction is extremely euphoric, especially when you‘re winning. I won a couple games and then lost some but played again to win back my losses. I had 50 dollars and came away with 115 dollars. I know I could have made more if I stayed longer (gambler talk) but I think it’s better to leave winning than losing. But then again this could be a bad thing because now I want to go back to Atlantic City just for that rush.

You gambled 50 dollars? What are you fucking poor?
That's not gambling, that's being afraid of your own shadow.
