Invention of the Day

A casino where, on average, the house loses but yet where they use a negative currency. 

The more you win, the more chips you have, and the more you owe the Casino when you leave.

A punter couldn’t game the system because this casino would just have games of chance and none of those dodgy ones which actually include an element of skill.

You’d go in, win big or small, and pay your debt on the way out. The house could never lose because there’s no way to owe a punter any cash.

Statistically and financially speaking this casino would be identical to the current types. Everyone would regress to the mean and lose their bundles.

Except there’s nothing to stop them going infinitely into debt; that’s the genius. No running out of chips.

But I’m telling you, without the pain of losing interspersed with the odd win, your addicted punter might have little interest.

Or, knowing that the pain starts when they leave, maybe they’d go for it.

An interesting experiment indeed.
