Many people won’t stay for hours unless they have access to a non-alcoholic beverage. Providing free drinks at casinos is a great way to get customers to keep gambling. Some believe that offering alcohol at casinos is not worth it since it increases operating costs and distracts from the spirit of the game. Drinks at the bar increase gambling monetarily, decrease social inhibitions and attract younger players.
However, many believe that providing free drinks at casinos is beneficial.
The casino’s decision to provide free alcohol to patrons has generated controversy because of the potential for increased alcohol abuse. Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, offers free drinks to its customers.
