Nah I don’t gamble. I have maybe put 20 bucks total in slots in my entire life, and found it boring, and also missed my 20 bucks after the 5 minutes of not fun I had spending it.

I like to play card games, but only for fun with firends, no money involved.

But like I said I do like to go to the casino for the seafood buffet, and I have always found it curious as to why there are so many senior citizens at the machines. They just spend and smoke non-stop. Although I think they may have ended smoking in some casinos now.

I think people can play those slots for quite a while and not lose a lot - or feeling like they are losing a lot.

The most fascinating thing I find about casinos is that, for the gamblers, money ceases being money. Someone who may buy brand X of peas because it’s a nickel less a can, will drop a hundred bucks on “black” on a roulette wheel without batting an eye.

The only other legitimate form of business that is as even close to efficient at pulling the maximum amount of money out of people in the shortest amount of time for the least value is credit card interest.
