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.
I couldn’t agree more. My pet theory is that those who enjoy slots haven’t tried better video games yet, and that the mainstreaming of video games will slowly kill slots off.
