Ok, as I promised in my last post—here's my own take on the dilemma our company is facing.
The strongest argument against having a casino and a brothel under one roof is actually pretty simple:
It’s a pure conflict of interest.
As a casino manager, you want people to spend all their money on the games.
As a brothel manager, you want people to spend all their money with the sexworkers.
Simple as that.
This conflict would show in every corner of the place.
Sure, it’s a nice idea—the girl standing next to the guy playing roulette, encouraging him to play... gives off a James Bond vibe.
But realistically—why would she be doing that?
She wants him to spend all his money with her.
From her point of view, every euro spent on blackjack is a euro not spent on her.
And imagine a guy gets lucky and wins a lot of money. The casino manager wants him to keep playing, hoping to win the money back.
If the guy goes upstairs and spends it with a girl, that money is leaving the casino floor—and from the casino's perspective, out of the house.
I'm also unsure about it from the client's perspective.
When you go to play casino games, the odds are not in your favor. You’re more likely to lose than to win. That’s just how casinos work.
So, if someone loses a big chunk of money downstairs, are they really going to be in the mood to go upstairs and spend even more on a girl?
I'm not so sure...
It’s funny though—historically, gambling and sex have always been close.
But maybe if they’re too close, it stops working.
We’ll see :)
