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.

To be honest, I don't know about these regulations, but I think there is nothing bad in playing when you're not on duty. Gambling is not that bad if you're responsible. I also play from time to time, and for me, it's a way to have fun. A huge plus is that now you can do it online, and there is no need to go somewhere. Some time ago, I found this page https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/ilixium , where I read a lot of useful info about Ilixium Casino, and the one I'm playing now is a good one. Reading such info is a must if you want to find a good and reliable casino.
