    I go to Vegas regularly to see someone special to me

    I despise gambling and haven’t put a single cent into a casino

    It’s fucking scary seeing the zombies pouring money that they can’t afford to lose into these awful machines

    They stink of desperation

    Went to a local casino with some friends and saw a Frankenstein themed slot machine with the big curved screen like that and decided to put a couple bucks in it to see what kind of stuff it did. A woman sitting at one warned me that they’re terrible and don’t pay out well before saying how many thousands of dollars she’d put into them, while still putting more in.
    Gambling addiction is real

      Fun fact, LA has independent Cambodian-run donut places because the so called Donut King lost his fortune to gambling addiction and had to relinquish his ownership to the families to pay debts.

      I went to a casino once to see what it’s about. Ultimately just felt like I was staring at a visual stimulation machine more than anything (my local casino is basically only penny slots)

      I spent an hour that felt like 3 there and turned $40 into $60 and I don’t feel like I ever need to do that again. Also worst of all was the ice cream place I was hoping to go to afterwards closed

        I legitimately do not get why people find casinos entertaining. Like even from the perspective of “I am willing to pay xyz dollars for the entertainment.”

        It’s not fucking entertaining. It’s boring as hell, even in fancy vegas casinos. Even if you are just trying to scam the casino for drinks, you are just sitting there pretending to gamble in exchange for some watered down cocktails. I can do that at home. Hell I can spend $100 on a nice fucking bottle of whiskey and drink the whole thing while watching reruns of “That 70s show” and it will be more entertaining than feeding slots.
