After spending a weekend in Sun city ..
I took note how money has become virtual,
( money transformed by the means of technology )
So this is how it works .. you pay a deposit of R20,
You get a smart card ( just a normal card with a chip)
Put the card in the machine and then put all your money in to the machine,
Now your money is loaded on to the card .. Boom your money has become virtual.
Mind trick:
So now the casino has your money on the card … now you don’t have the feel of the money,
So has you play, all the money loaded on your card, the casino makes you feel like you are not continuously putting money in the machine ..
There fore you are not constantly wasting money .. ( so all the money is stored on the card, until you cash it in )
And then even the feel on you winning money is lost .. no more coins falling into the tray .. it just gets loaded onto the card.
Now the second thing I notice over the weekend … was how that if you did win .. so let say
We loaded R200 on the card and you play and play . and by luck you won R4500,
At the end of the weekend after playing with the same card .. if you didn’t stop gambling you would have lost, the R4500 ..
Its like that card tracked your winning and it knew just how much to get back,
( giving you that feeling that you did you .. so play more because you can win again )
And you end up playing more than you won,
The house always wins
.. well this is just my observation .
Casino using technology to take your money … lol
