At my current duty station they have an on-post casino, and was wondering if I was able to go play responsibly, not in uniform-of course, off-duty. Some people are like you're not supposed to gamble as a soldier etc. Wheres the Reg? I know enlisted and officer gambling is a no-go but this is a full-blown established casino, and it would be me vs. the house. What do you think about this? yes or no

Best way to get the answer to this question is ask your command. While there may not be an actual Army regulation stating if you can or can not, chances are there will be a post memorandum stating if you can or can't.

The AR you're looking for is AR 600-20, Army Command Policy. The chapter that deals with gambling between Officers and Enlisted is 4-14.c.3. (Latest pub date is 6 NOV 14)
You can gamble in a Casino, just not against Commissioned Officers.

So you can play roulette ( against the wheel) but not poker because you don't know who is at the table?

MSgt Michael Bischoff - In this situation *IF* it became an issue, it wouldn't be this Specialist getting punished, it would be the Commissioned Officer. I'd venture to guess there's a reason we don't have a similar thread from a Commissioned Officer...because they don't go to this on-post Casino.

The only sure way to double your money in a casino is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
Casinos get wealthy on their statistical advantage; if you are very good and play long enough you will give the house their percentage; if you are not so good you will give them far more.

They say the guys that made Vegas all it is today are the ones who weren't smart enough to be home after 10:00.
