25 of the Worst Ways People Handled a Big Loss at the Casino

Melting down in public is one of the final frontiers of fully losing control of your life. 

It’s a multidimensional act, of course, because it can be the beginning of a downward spiral or another entry on the list of reasons why your wife is going to leave you. For example, if you find yourself reacting so poorly to a loss at a casino that you pull down your pants and urinate on someone, it’s time to be very honest with yourself about what’s truly going on with you. 

To that end, Redditors have revealed the ways in which they saw people react to their losing streaks, including one guy’s quarter-cutting plot that seems like more trouble than it’s worth.

 7y ago So admittedly, I knew I was pissing the woman off. Being ultra polite, best fake smile, chatting with another player who liked fast dealing. I liked that player better so I dealt very fast. The women player was enraged at me and by losing. She ran from the table screaming like a banshee, while cussing me from top to bottom. I smiled and said have a fantastic day. We were required to use the word fantastic. 55 ...
NotYourGoldStandard e 7y ago . I used to work in a Casino not anymore. This one guy would always be in high limits and he'd just punch the screen and break it. Не did it so frequently they made him a cake that was decorated like a slot machine with a smashed in screen one year for his birthday. 37 ...
toolatealreadyfapped 7y ago I wasn't working (at the time), but rather playing poker when a guy went SUPER tilt after a bad hand. Anyway, he dove onto the table and thrashed around, scattering the cards and throwing everyone's chip stacks all over the place before security wrestled him out. It took a good 30+ minutes to sort everything out. That's also the day we all came to respect just how powerful casino surveillance cameras are. They were able to locate and replace every single chip exactly to where it was before his tantrum. 442 ...
 7y ago Not an employee, but a while back a former chaplain tried to light a few slot machines, a chair, and a garbage can on fire after losing $600 in 20 minutes. A week later he was still apparently so angry about it that he went to the other casino in the city and tried to light a few blackjack tables and plants on fire. + 352 ...
mbgeibel . 7y ago Not a casino employee, but I saw a dude smash a full beer on the floor after losing $18k in THREE ROLLS at a craps table. I lost about $60 in those same 3. Drank my beer. + 184 ...
throwawayaway321543 7y ago . Edited 7y ago Not an employee but saw a drunk guy pour his beer all over the slot machine after losing. Needless to say security came over where he proceeded to speak only spanish. They brought out an interpreter so he refused to speak at that point. They escorted him somewhere... 88 ...
GetOffMyPlane 7y ago Edited 7y ago 2 months ago in London there was a poker player who had been playing for hours, seemed quite calm, then lost a hand, not a particularly bad beat. Не picked up his glass and smashed it in his own face. Не then started to eat the broken glass. Security had to take him out and on the way out he smashed a window and started to eat any of the glass he could grab. So they restrained him until the ambulance arrived. I'm guessing he was pretty unstable anyway. Never heard what happened to
loldonkaments1 7y ago e Not an employee but I'm a poker pro. Was playing 2/5 no limit, all things considered a low stake game and someone lost $100 on a hand, a small pot by 2/5 standards and he just started freaking out and hitting the table and screaming. I actually stood up in my chair just in case he had a weapon on him, it was that bad. I was seriously concerned for my safety and the safety of others. 47 ...
BgPitsy 7y ago Edited 7y ago a I watched my uncle lose everything at a poker table, so he proceeded to the bathroom came out with his pants off and throw them on the table and say pants plays. The dealer said we can't take you're pants sir. Не said why not you've took everything else? Needless to say he was escorted out of the casino very upset. Edit: blackjack table not poker table + 2.2K ...
Spikole 7y ago I Play good amount of poker in a casino. Heard one dealer talk about something he saw at Belligio in Vegas. Guy lost big hand(10k or so), ordered a sandwich, waited the 15 minutes or so to be delivered to the table, then through it in the dealers face. Also said he was only banned for 24 hours. Couldn't imagine having to deal to the customer again after he did that. + 94 ...
InferiousX 7y ago A friend of mine got on a hot run at a poker table in a casino. This other dude at the table is audibly protesting his disbelief at my friends luck. Eventually a hand gets down to my friend and this dude. The guy had a high pair in his pocket cards. My friend has like a pair of 2s and hits a 3rd 2 on the flop. The guy turns to my friend and says If you have a pair of twos under there, I'm going to reach over there and punch you in the face
Honkey_McCracker 7y ago Not a casino employee but I had the pleasure of watching a vaping frat boy type try to man handle a Choctaw tribal policeman in Durant, OK. It didn't end well for the frat boy. Не ended up leaving with neither his money nor his dignity. 184 ...
DootMasterFlex 7y ago Edited 7y ago Not a casino employee, but just the other day my Father in law (security) watched an elderly lady lose everything at a poker table, and then go around and steal a couple people's purses/wallets. When they confronted her and asked for ID, she wouldn't give it to them because they weren't the police. When the police arrived, she still wouldn't give them her ID or even her name, saying they couldn't arrest her if they didn't know who she was. Needless to say, they arrested her anyways. The last thing the cop asked her
LsuTigerFan0315 7y ago I was dealing high limit one night and a man lost his last 2 $500 chips for a total loss of $30,000 in about 20 minutes. (I know this guy and have dealt to him for many years so wasn't totally surprised by this response.) Не proceeds to stand up and tuck his chair in nice and neatly. Не then squares up to me from behind his chair and rips off his own shirt. Не was wearing a $400 Robert Graham. Buttons go flying in about 4 different directions and he lets out a primal scream!! The
MarMar201 7y ago Poker dealer here. I've been spit on, had a drink thrown on me, had threats made to me, had a player legit ask me If I hated them because I busted them 3 times in half an hour. That last one stuck with me, dude really felt like I was doing it on purpose. The tantrums are better. Players who tear up the cards and get escorted out are the best. Last night I busted one player who's always a crybaby but when the winning player turned over his cards he yelled fuck all of you and
Mijaga75 7y ago One guy was so angry at his losses that he took 200 quarters, cut them in half, taped one side, and proceeded to put them in various slot machines. Once they entered the machine, it would jam it up. + 8.7K ...
the_dark_half 7y ago Not an employee but my mum's friend won a slot machine jackpot. Security had to swoop in and save her because she was a very casual gambler and would use like 5 coins then leave, but that night on one of her first coins she won the jackpot. The people around her were gambling addicts and some of them had been working that machine for hours before and felt it should have been their win. So they tried to attack her for the money but she did get it. This wouldnt have been a big win either

godbullseye 7y ago Not an employee but my girlfriend and I were at a local casino for dinner on Saturday so we decided to take a lap around the playing floor afterwards. We are walking by the blackjack tables and notice a small crowd around a guy who had a pile of chips in front of him. After it's clear he lost it all to the dealer he starts screaming that he couldn't lose and begins to slam his head into the table. Ends up leaving in handcuffs 833 ...
mc8675309 7y ago A gentleman at a poker table in the five seat unzipped his pants and urinated on the dealer. I never caught the signal the dealer used but it was effective as all the guys who normally collect boxes from the tables show up out of nowhere and removed him from the table like they were taking out the trash (well, they were...). Table broke up so they could clean, dealer showered and put on a new uniform and I saw her on the floor again a few hours later. + 4.7K ...
drwormjr 0 7y ago I work in I.T. for a Casino and just had to replace a phone that was ripped off the wall and thrown at one of our pit bosses over a bad loss. + 2.1K ...
bezanson88 7y ago I worked casino security. We had to remove a guy after he lost a bunch and got super drunk/irate. Wouldn't even take his chips that he had left (we set them aside). As I kick him out the front door he starts getting pretty angry, stammering back and forth...finally he broke, took his pants off and sat down...AND PROCEEDED TO drag his ass across the concrete like a dog that has an itchy butt. I had no words I just watched in awe as I asked if our survilance team was seeing what I saw. 11 ...
bigman_121 7y ago I remember a few stories from my friend who used to work tables at a casino. She told me this one time a university student came in one day and lost all of his tuition money, he asked for it back, the casino said no. Не then got his parents involved, his parents asked for the money back and the casino said no. Another story I remember her telling me about is people who believe they're on a hot streak just reliving themselves right there on the slot machines. Another one is that there is a lot
Niosai 7y ago I'm really late here, but I have a story. I work as a security guard at a pretty uptight casino. We have a security guard posted at every entrance, so we see everyone come in and leave. On this particular day, an older patron came in and decided to blow a couple of hundred on the video blackjack machine, then a couple hundred more on slots. At some point during his visit, something in him snapped. Не began to scream at the machines and hit them, causing security to politely ask him to stop, or face an
