How desperate can some gamblers be? I was just told today that a women was so afraid to leave her slot machine for a bathroom break that she decided to just pee right their on the seat. Did you hear this story before or one like it? I was also told that some addicted gamblers will wear adult diapers. I feel discusted by this; do you?

I am a gambler. Will go pretty often to play Keno. I've never seen anyone or heard of anyone wetting their pants instead of using the restroom. I've never seen a wet chair either. All I can say is I don't think this is real common. There are plenty of older folks who do gamble but again, I've never seen a wet chair. I find it to be disgusting also if it were true and actually happened where I go to gamble. My gambling is under control and so are my bathroom habits...lol Thanks for a good discussion.

Yup it is true. My cousin is the one who told me and he knows the guy who sat in the wet chair. One of the workers there told him this happens some times. When they see someone sitting all night long they go and let them know they will watch their machine. Crazy hey!

Ewwww nasty...lol I can't imagine enjoying an evening playing Keno in a chair that was just peed on. I do know employees will watch a machine as they have done it before for me.

My husband used to work at a casino. You do get some strange things happening in there. One old lady beat another woman with her cane because she was on the machine she wanted. If your machine is hot and you need a break an attendant will stand by it for you. So there is really no need to pee ones self.

You are correct there is always someone to watch your machine while you go to the bathroom, to set and do this I would have escorted the woman out of the casino. I know there are some that maybe that addicted to gambling. While living in Louisiana before Katrina we was about 30 minues away from Boomtown casino, it wasd fun to take a few dollars and go play the nickle machines, if yo was lucky enough to win then you could go to a higher machine. I have won many times in there and awas there on vacation last April and of course first thing said to me was "Want to go to the casino" glad I went went in with $100. came out with $1289. My problem with the casinos is your can't get a seat on the first of the month, I heard a man say the y was getting ready for the first because it was SSI day (welfare checks come out) and they would be packed. I think people need to control them selves, and sometimes they put in so much they can't afford to leave until all is spent just trying to get a little back, but AI have always found if you get way behind you aren't going to catch up.

I have never heard of someone doing that just because they didn't want to go pee. That's disgusting. If people really do that then they've got it bad.
