7 Types of Annoying Casino Players

If you're a serious gambler/casino regular, you've probably encountered people in your favorite gambling establishment who – ranging from mildly irritating to downright aggravating – managed to push all your wrong buttons, turning an otherwise enjoyable scrimmage with Lady Luck into a bad memory. Casinos are notorious for attracting all sorts of potentially irritating people, whose abrasive nature, augmented in direct proportion by the amount of ingested alcohol, can and will make life difficult not only for other patrons, but for the casino staff as well.

The group of buddies (a group of 3-5, usually heavily intoxicated male customers) is at the top of the unpleasant casino player pops. These guys argue with everyone because the perceived/real safety offered by their numbers renders them immune to retaliation by a single average person. Further emboldened by alcohol, they're downright unstoppable. If you happen to find yourself at a table with these guys, just get up and let them be. Be glad that unlike the dealer, you at least have this option.

The know-it-all instructor type: arguably, these guys are the most annoying of the bunch. They feel compelled to show off their strategy skills by "teaching" other players how to play best. Often times, the strategy they so voluntarily dispense consists of bad advice, yet these people won't refrain from berating others on account of how they play. Steer clear of these guys or tell them off as firmly as you possibly can.

The slot machine stalkers are players who lurk around the slot machines watching others play in order to gain a "tell" on when the machine is about to pay out. Given that the slot machines are all controlled by electronic random number generators, there is no such thing as a machine "due" to pay. These guys believe in an old wives' tale, which has absolutely no basis in reality, yet they chose to stick to it no matter what. The best way to deal with such players is to simply ignore them.

The beginner who needs your advice/help: these are casino players who aren't yet fully accustomed to casino etiquette and who are seriously lacking in the strategy department too. In order to compensate for that, they constantly ask for advice from people they perceive as experienced in the ways of casino gambling. Sure, helping someone out is nice, but when that person turns into something of a clinger, it's time to close the curtains on this "budding friendship".

The sore losers come in a large variety, but they all have one common denominator: because they blame everything and everyone else around for their bad luck, they're among the most irritating casino players. The sore loser is a negativist who is convinced that the entire World plus Mother Nature have conspired against him. Just try to ignore this guy or move to a different table if you find yourself unable to bear his antics and negativity.

Mobile phone/device abusers are everywhere, and while most casinos have a policy against such practices at some of their tables, at the video poker/slot machines, these policies do not apply so these guys can roam free showcasing their despicable multi-tasking abilities by describing a lap dance they got the other day to someone on the phone while playing away like there's no tomorrow.

Last but not least, we have the slot machine myth believer. These guys are superstitious souls with certain – rather annoying – quirks: for instance, they may believe only a certain machine brings them luck, and if you happen to be playing at that machine, they will ask you when you think you'll be done, and then exert not-so-subtle psychological pressure by hovering around you and watching you play.
