one of the main reasons<\/a> casino carpets are so busily and colorfully patterned. (Image: Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHowever, the video in question may not document a crime. It’s possible that the liquid could have come from an unseen overturned drink or water bottle.<\/p>\n
Also, the entire incident may have been staged, since the video raises as many questions as it does issues. For instance, how did the videographer, standing more than 10 feet away, happen to capture the exact moment this woman urinated? In the video, the ambient casino noise drowns any sound from her supposed urine stream. The upside of staging a scene for social media virality far outweighs the downside, particularly if the liquid is not urine and, therefore, not a crime to spill.<\/p>\n
Not That Uncommon<\/h2>\n Regardless of the video’s legitimacy, urinating on casino floors isn’t as uncommon as one might think.<\/p>\n
In 2007, Arnie Wexler, a recovered problem gambler who operated a New Jersey-based gambling hotline and counseling service at the time, told the Louisville Courier-Journal <\/em>that many heavy gamblers don adult diapers to avoid having to leave a slot machine or gaming table. If they don\u2019t come prepared, he said, they \u201cjust pee in the seat.\u201d<\/p>\nWexler was quoted for a story about a complaint filed with the Indiana Gaming Commission by a video poker player. The player decided to try his luck at the machine next to his at the Caesars Southern Indiana casino.<\/p>\n
The player found his soaked shorts in much more dire need of changing than his luck.<\/p>\n
Employing Seat Changers<\/h2>\n For obvious reasons, casinos prefer never to acknowledge this problem. However, for the Courier-Journal<\/em> article, a Caesars Southern Indiana spokesperson made the rare admission of having \u201ca procedure to immediately remove broken and soiled chairs from the gaming floor.\u201d<\/p>\nAll major casinos have \u201cseat changers,\u201d a crew dedicated to removing soiled chairs and replacing their cushions, according to Wexler.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Caesars spokesperson admitted that her casino \u201cdropped the ball\u201d in this particular case.<\/p>\n
Gary Green, former manager of an Oklahoma casino he asked Casino.org <\/em>not to name, confirmed just how routine seat-peeing is.<\/p>\n“We had an entire storage area of pee-soaked cloth chairs from this bizarre behavior,<\/strong>” he said. “It was neither rare nor surprising, at least at that <\/i>property.”<\/strong><\/p>\nWhy They Won’t Leave<\/h2>\n \u201cI used to work security for a casino,\u201d claimed one of the commenters on the new Twitter video. \u201cIf they weren\u2019t with a friend who could hold their spot or [weren’t] close to a bathroom, they would do their bidness (sic) right there. I would go whole 12-hour shifts and watch people not budge an inch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Compulsive gamblers often believe the myth that once they start playing a machine, they must continue until they hit a jackpot, regardless of what bodily needs might present themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\nIf they should leave, they think someone watching their play might swoop in and enjoy \u201ctheir\u201d jackpot. Players also often believe they can\u2019t leave a machine if they win because it\u2019s \u201chot.\u201d<\/p>\n
By the way, every possible jackpot has the same preprogrammed chance of occurring on every spin.<\/a> There is absolutely no cumulative memory of previous spins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A disturbing new video shot inside a casino has gone viral on social media.
