Las Vegas
The men wearing gold cufflinks and populating the high rollers’ exclusive areas spend millions each day, just playing baccarat or Russian roulette. The high rollers probably play the games the best. For one thing, they don’t mind losing money. They come prepared to lose and simply apply their skills to win. It is the people at the regular tables who come to the casinos having little to lose yet hoping to win millions.
The regular people come well dressed, sometimes even with whimsical cufflinks for a bit of luck. Some wear gambling cufflinks like tiny dice or cards. Domino cufflinks are also gaining popularity. Some even wear the yin and yang symbol on their wrists to bring balance to the game and give the person wearing the cufflinks a fair chance to win.
The instinct to cling to lucky charms is but natural given the high stakes and the large winnings to be had. Everyone simply want to hold onto the hope of striking it rich one day even though we all know that in the end, the House always wins.
