Dreadfully at the moment, maybe it's ending forever soon. Casino industry is collapsing at the same time as WAY TOO MANY people know about the trick. I go to hundreds of casinos across the country. They're all dead as disco, all the time, even during what should be peak hours. Vegas is literally about to die, posting 40% losses and immense drops in foreign tourism. There's only a few places left where this scourge hasn't touched, but I'm sure they will be hit eventually too. My theory is that it's a combination of these factors.
>illegals (especially criminals laundering money) represented a huge share of the gambling consumer base, but now they are too scared to enter the casinos because of all the cameras and ID checks on jackpots (and if you're not jackpotting, you're losing)
>legalized online gambling has enabled degens to just blow their money away at home instead of building up plays for me to clean out
>normies are still in bad financial shape, but it's not absolute destitution anymore, so they aren't driven to gamble by desperation, and are instead saving out of the inkling of economic hope they now have
>way too many people have learned how to scam slot machines, so now there's way too many of us fighting for a way smaller slice of a way smaller pie
>it's a crypto bull run, so a lot of degens are putting their cash in that instead of going to the casino
It's pretty bleak, but I still have a few hideaways and the bankroll to travel to them and still come out well enough ahead, and I've got 6 figures in high and mid-cap cryptos, so I should be getting to my first million by the end of the year if I time it right. But I don't expect to still be doing this anymore next year, unless there's radical changes that everyone benefits from so they can afford to travel and gamble again.
