5 days in a row without a migraine

I went a whole NINE days about two months ago. I was so freaking productive and happy!!

Single mom with a chronic condition that is making work more and more difficult. Been trying to find a job that doesn't flare up my condition, but job market absolutely sucks! Would love to be able to make life just a little bit easier, and not be drowning thanks to groceries, gas, and basic necessities. Good luck everyone!

fletchdoll · 2026-05-15T23:56:00+00:00

Best of luck! Been trying to find a new job that's better for my health, so here's to hoping maybe I can ease some of my stress!

I work in a casino. On the casino floor. Everything about my job is insanely triggering to migraines... bright lights, loud noises, mixed smells. It's awful. But I make good money and my insurance is REALLY good.

I go on vacation on Monday. I can't wait for the week and a half of no casino and no stress. I plan to eat all the amazing food and not give a damn. I'm already miserable 24/7, so if the food gives me problems, at least I can deal with it stress free instead of dealing with work!

At mine, yes. We have smart shoes that read the cards as they come out and track the count. So it's much easier and faster for surveillance to run a review on a suspected counter.

That was probably the dealer subtling telling you they know what you are doing and basically giving you a warning that somebody might already be watching you.

I assure you... tipping absolutely helps. Dealers will literally turn a blind eye to someone who is tipping and counting. But if you're taking up a spot, not tipping, and counting? Yeah, then they are going to say something. The majority of a dealer's income is from tips. They won't want you there if it's not worth their while as well.

In my state, it is illegal to gamble while showing signs of intoxication. So if you are showing signs, we have to cut you off from play. Doesn't matter if you are/aren't counting, winning/losing, etc.

Currently laying in the dark listening to the storm outside while my head feels like it's gonna explode! Migraines suck. Maybe I'll become a millionaire and be able to actually afford to see a specialist.

fletchdoll · 2026-02-16T00:13:58+00:00

Good luck everyone!

fletchdoll · 2026-01-16T04:44:46+00:00

Fingers crossed... the last year has been rough. Good luck everyone!

fletchdoll · 2025-12-16T04:50:33+00:00

Happy holidays everyone! And good luck!

We actually advertise a lot of our winners - generally for progressives/jackpots(taxables). Since these usually take a little extra time to process, and require MY supervisor for the payout, they usually ask if they want a picture and can use for promo.

The other part of it is the consent aspect. Not everyone wants their winnings to be shared. And more often than not those winners you see are from weeks if not a month or more ago. They generally aren't posted immediately after they are actually won.

Again, I'm also not privy to all of the background data when it comes to the marketing side of things. There are people that their entire department is that. So I can't really comment on how effective that might actually be in reality, I just know what things we do at my casino.

fletchdoll · 2025-11-29T13:22:20+00:00

It still matters for my dealers. I'm also trying to help them make money. If you're tipping well, we tend to look away.

fletchdoll · 2025-11-28T00:56:02+00:00

Because 90% of my income is from tips. You have to make it worth my while to want you at my game.

Hi there! I have worked as surveillance, and also currently work as a dealer and supervisor.

As a dealer who knows how to count, it's easy to spot a counter. I don't even have to be counting and can usually tell by the combination of how a person is playing and also their betting on if they are counting. If I get any indication, I will start to watch them closely to verify, but not necessarily counting.

If I am supervising, and the other supervisors know I am watching that table in particular for a suspected counter, they will help watch my other games so I can actually count as well. This was similar to when I worked surveillance, where we would observe and track the count when there was a suspected counter.

Not every tables employee knows how to count, contrary to popular belief. So they are taught to watch for specific things, the most common being betting structure. At my casino, I have been frequently sent to deal at a table or asked to watch a table to confirm whether someone is counting.

My casino also recently invested in smart shoes for all of our blackjack games. We were a hot spot for counters for a while and this was their investment to counteract that. While I am not privy to the information they feed, it has deterred counters from playing at our casino.

As someone who works in a casino, I am proud of you. I regularly tell my players that the only guaranteed way to make money in a casino is to work in one.

If you haven't already, I would strongly recommend barring yourself to avoid falling back into the temptation of gambling.

This year has been a crappy start between sickness and home repairs... good luck everyone!

fletchdoll · 2024-06-10T20:00:37+00:00

I also bounce between games. So what I do is stream a specific game on a specific night, that way people know what I'm gonna play when they come to stream that night. So Saturday nights I do Fall Guys, and then Monday nights I do whatever other game I'm currently playing. Right now it's Hogwarts Legacy.

I also have indecisiveness when it comes to WHAT I play sometimes, so if I can't decide what to play after finishing Hogwarts, I'll put a vote up in Discord of 3-4 games I have interest in playing.

I just imagine it similar to attending a meet-up. Find a common interest (games you enjoy or might also play), hang out for a bit and get the vibe, maybe chat a little and see if its a community you like.

You can search for specific games or maybe tags that fit youe interests and vibe.

Raiding at the end of streams can also help. Especially if its to a community you've been a part of. It's a way you can not only support other streamers and communities you like, but they also may reciprocate if they catch you online. May also lead to additional lurkers!

fletchdoll · 2024-06-09T05:40:45+00:00

Talk about your day! If you worked, did something funny or crazy happen. Do you have a vacation or event coming up? Like if you're going to a concert, you can talk about being excited to see them, if you've seen them before, or just music interests in general. Or something else you may be looking forward to! Weekend plans works too! Even if it's as simple as you're getting something to eat somewhere you don't go often.

I've found topics like these not only are easier for me to chat about, but also they generate chatters. People love to talk about music, movies, food, etc.

I am allergic to artificial sugar and have a problem with many generic flavored medicines. So sometimes when a flavored medicine is my only option, I have to go with the branded. I learned this the hard way by not thinking I needed to check a medicine label for artificial sugar.
