Casino Player: What Type Are You?

When you think about people and the different jobs they do, you'll be able to find those who seem perfectly suited to their work. Maybe there are aspects of their job that require patience or dexterous skills. And it's a pleasure to see when the job requirements are so aligned with the worker. And so it must be the same as the casino player.

Casino Player: Introduction

Well, perhaps the same principles could be transferred over to gambling games and those who are more suited to some more than others. People have very different personalities, so it should be of no surprise to find that there is a casino player better at, say, poker than at roulette. So, let’s have a look and see where you belong on the spectrum of casino games, and the personalities most suited to them.

Risk Taker

If you’re the type of casino player who likes to play hard and fast, with only the corner of your eye open to the possible bad consequences, then this will show in pretty much all aspects of your life. Not just when it comes to gambling. Riding your bike at break-neck speed on the pavement or skydiving whilst drunk just to prove that you’ll live forever. You’re going to favor online casino games that have a large element of risk involved. Even though you may be well aware of the risk and their possible results, the games of choice are probably slots, keno and craps. You have little concern about the payout. For you, it’s all about the risk of losing everything. You’re more about the journey than the end-game or reward. Basically, you’re nuts! Anyhow, this behavior isn’t that cool at the online jackpot sites. Always gamble responsibly!

Competitive

If you’re a competitive player, then you really don’t want to play alone. Your goal is to be the winner and vanquish all opposition. Playing against others and rubbing their noses in the dirt is what it’s all about. Of course, it goes without saying that your opponents need to be worthy. There’s no pleasure in playing with and beating retarded or ignorant players. There’s no sport in that. We guess that your type needs to play in a tournament. And with a game where there is only one winner. After all, coming in second place is still the loser’s territory. Poker is your perfect game. In particular tournament poker, where you’ll be smiting other players and you’ll be standing victoriously on their bloodied corpses before advancing to the next round.

Casino Player: Flashy

So you’re a flashy casino player, one who likes to show off, a person that knows his games and has enough knowledge to be able to make it all look so effortless and easy. You like to dress well, look after yourself, and flaunt your money for all to see. You could almost be a huge douche bag, but you have self-awareness and self-deprecating wit, which keeps you likable and fun. Is that you? Because you’re the epitome of cool and collected, you need a classic game to play. We suggest baccarat, blackjack, and craps. You know the odds are the lowest in the house with these games. And before you know it, you’ll be sitting behind huge stacks of chips, adjusting your gold cuff links and sipping a vodka Martini, shaken not stirred.

Innovative

You like to try new things. There’s a little bit of the risk-taker in you, but there’s also someone more impatient. Ready to move on to the next thing the second the present one becomes boring or uninteresting. You like any new technology and can’t wait to play the latest high tech games online. For table games, we humbly suggest Let it Ride, the Caribbean, and Three Card Poker. These poker games are all fast-paced and you can use your superior knowledge to out-fox and out-rank the opposition. Otherwise, make your way over to the online slots machines. There are so many different varieties and also new games and gameplays coming onto the market every day, that there should be enough to keep you occupied for a while.

Casino Player: Lone Wolf

Unlike those above that crave attention and reward, you are the type who rides into town alone and unseen. There’s nothing ostentatious or loud about you. You’re a kind of Mister Nobody. Quietly operating in the shadows. You’re not a big risk taker and you don’t want the attention that the flashy guy craves. But you know your stuff. As a casino player, you’ve been quietly playing in the background for years, honing your skills. You’re not exactly an outsider, just someone who prefers to operate alone. When it comes to gambling, you like to go at your own pace. Somewhere there’s an inner voice that keeps you calm and gives you a rhyme of play that takes little heed of the hubbub around you. (OK…you’re actually sitting at home playing online…but bare with us here). We highly recommend video poker for you. You have the knowledge and the skills to make this game your own.

The Plodder

Let’s start by saying that we have nothing against you if this is you. The preface is because you’re not really our type. You tend to be quiet, not because you’re the loner type, but more so because you are probably a little shy. You sit at the games table and mind your own business, but you don’t even speak when spoken to. A nod of the head will suffice for all your communications. You play a very steady game. No highs or lows. Just a constant boring beat of the drum. We think that you’re enjoying yourself, but we have no idea of knowing as you give away nothing. We suggest blackjack as being your perfect match. You don’t have to speak to the dealer as a hand signal will do. There’s no one else there to bother you. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, and yet conversely, we never know how good or bad you really are. By the way, even if you bad you can always get better if you learn how to win the jackpot. In quite of course…

Casino Player: Which Type Are You?

There is probably any number of categories of casino players that we’ve missed out on. And maybe there has been some dramatic license involved. But the next time you’re at a real brick and mortar casino, have a look around and see if you can spot any of our casino types. Maybe in doing so, you’ll become aware of the type of casino player you are as well.
