Gambling is mostly for suckers who cannot understand probability. Yes, a few people have incredible luck. A few more are professionals who study their particular game and come out ahead. Most non-professional gamblers are delusional. The only consistent winners are the owners. they can do math and they study the games 24/7.

What annoys me the most about casinos is that you can almost never get away from the smell of cigarette smoke. I've found that its just as addicting watching people throwing there money into slots as it would be gambling. When we go we just enjoy walking around, eating, or putting a few dollars into the slots...as of last count I'm up $30
Slots really are amazing if you think about it. At the end of the day they are simply a random number generator but because of the lights, sounds and usual marketing, people use them. You wouldn't trust a monkey to pick out numbers for you for the chance to win money, but a machine is just fine
. Fact, the machines only pay out a certain percentage of the funds that they collect....its called profit margin. Sometimes you just get plain lucky but its just that, luck.
