What do you think the gambling laws are in international waters? I have a friend who is planning on taking a cruise to the caribbean some time soon. With my disapproval he went to get a fake id because on cruises to the caribbean the gambling age is 18. Anyways so when he goes on this cruise he is planning to use the fake id card to show the security guards in the casino that he is in fact 18 years old. He doesn't loook like he is because he is only 16 and I have been trying to convince him not to do this. I was wondering what you guys think the consequences would be if he were to get caught. In my opinion it is especially a bad idea because he would have to spend the rest of the week on this ship (so long as he doesn't get kicked off) with the same security guards, so it is not like he could just walk away and forget about it. Anyways please just let me know what you think will happen, even if you think that nothing will happen. I am just nervous for him and want to know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!

What gambling problems does your country have? I live in NZ. A few years ago the only gambling here was horse racing using the totalisator, not private bookmakers, a state lottery called Lucky Kiwis, and of course private gambling like poker games. It wasn't a serious social problem back then. Now, gambling has been made easier. We've now got casinos, online gambling, scratch-and-win tickets, which you buy, scratch and if you're lucky, get a prize. and what we call pokie machines. In Britain they call them one-armed bandits. It's easier to lose money fast gambling than with any other vice, especially if it doesn't require any skill. Horse racing required skill and knowledge. Now pokies are a major problem here. Some of the profits are taxed and given to charities. But the social problems they cause cost us far more than they pay back. I want to write a story about it. Please tell me about your country's experience with different forms of gambling. Gambling is in NZ a way to take money from the poor to give to the rich. I want material for a story condemning our over-liberal gambling laws. Please help.

Tips on gambling in Las Vegas. What are your ways on how you win? I live in Vegas, so here are some words of advice when coming here to gamble. One do not drink intoxicants while gambling. You may wake and sober up on the casino's loan office's floor with a bill in your hand and no way to pay it.. Less drinking means more self-control means less out of hand gambling. Walk out when ahead. This means even if you win a dollar more then you came in with. Very hard to do, and easy to say. Bring cash only. Do not bring credit or debit cards to the casinos. It is very easy to get caught up in the excitement and spend more then you intend by making withdraws at the atm (which have heavy withdraw fees). Try not to gamble at the big time casino's Every time I won, it was at a small time establishment. Ever wonder how the big fancy resorts pay for all that luxury and niceties you see around you? By lowering you chances at the slots. If you can afford it, bet large, hard and fast. Every time I won I, it was shortly after I sat down at the machine or game. Every time I lost is when I tried to beat the casino in the long run. If you bet big, you may win quickly and large at the slots. Learn a little more about the games you are playing. Tips and guide books are sold in the gift shops everywhere. Enter a tournament. The amount you lose at the casino's is going to be more then what you pay to enter. You are not playing against the casino, so your odds here are higher and some places give you money to play with if you enter. Why bet your own dollar if you can use someone else's? Avoid shopping on the strip. The prices on the strip are rip offs. 9.00 dollars for ham and eggs or a subway sandwich? 7 dollars for a draft beer? I suggest going off strip for such things for better deals and stretching your dollar. Visit things besides the strip. Las Vegas has plenty here to offer. Go exploring. Sign up for comps. It is well worth it. If you see a security guard with a funny looking hat, do not be afraid to say hi.

Is there any help for gambling addiction that is not a 12 step program? I need to find some kind of secular help for gambling that does not involve turning my life over to a higher power. I am an atheist and these religious or quasi religious 12 step programs do not work for me. Some people may not perceive 12-step programs to be religious, but my perception is that they are, and that limits their usefulness to me. I don't want to get in an argument about whether 12-step programs are religious or not. Let's just say that whether or not they actually are religious, they feel like they are to me.
