If the chances that you were going to win were any good, the casino wouldn’t look like a palace and the owners wouldn’t be rich.
I don’t gamble (mostly because I’m under age to) even I did a piece of advice I heard from my mom will always stick with me
“Only gamble money you’re willing to lose” and “Gamble money assuming you’re going to lose”
Your mom gives good advice. You should listen to her.
Believe me I do
Hey it’s me, ur mum, here’s some more advice. If you ever do go, set yourself a limit (say $20) and cash out any time you win. Once you spend the original $20, you should have won more than your money back.
That’s actually also what she says even using $20 as an example so you might be lol
The best way to ensure you have absolutely no interest in gambling is to go to Las Vegas, walk into a casino, turn $20 into quarters, and see how it disappears in literally 30 seconds into a slot machine, with absolutely no sense of gratification.
I have a suspicion that slot machines only worked because Boomers+ never had video games growing up to teach them what a serotonin response from a game is supposed to be like. Casinos have been dying for a while now, because young people can play a video game and not waste $1500 in a weekend (or if you’re really bad about it, an hour). Sports betting is the unfortunate new big avenue that casinos and other addiction-exploitation companies are leveraging.
That’s not to say there aren’t gambling addiction exploitation mechanisms in many video games, like loot boxes, but it’s not the singular purpose of video games, like casino games are.
And also, just spend the money at an arcade cabinet if anything (also don’t spend too much there either)
Spend $1500 and buy a rebuilt arcade cabinet that you can then play anytime you want
Not spending that much to play time crisis more often
Wow I miss the old bowling alley cabinet
Turns out I was referring to time crisis 2.
What tf happened with the new ones, why are the guns so heavy
Never gamble is a better advice.
I mean that’s my plan of action
