Swiss Casinos Take Addiction Seriously

In the years since gambling became legal in Switzerland, 19 gambling houses have opened, and about 17,000 people have been banned from them. The Swiss government is very strict and very clear that they will not allow gambling addiction in their society, and if you are found to have a problem you will be banned from the casinos.

The Swiss casinos feel that they have a moral as well as legal obligation to prevent gambling addiction, and they take it very seriously. Their employees are trained to recognize addiction, and they know how to look for it as well as where to look for it.

For example, if you go into the Casino Barriere de Fribourg you will find people coming and going with their identity cards so that the casino knows who they are. But once you get to the slot machines, you see that this is where the majority of their customers are hanging out. With slot machines considered to be the number one addictive game for gamblers, their employees know to keep an eye out in their area particularly.

They say that at this time of day not many people are interested in playing the table games - that will come tonight. They know that the people who come in the middle of the day are mostly interested in playing the slot machines. There are people playing like crazy, and one man who is playing to slot machines at once. The staff know to keep an eye on the man who seems that he is more interested in winning than having a good time, for that is the first sign of gambling addiction.

They say that they will continue to keep an eye out for those who cannot watch themselves, for they want people to come to their casinos and play their slot machines, but they only want them to play the money they can afford to lose.
