I won $40 on a slot machine and also wondered why people thought it’s fun
Edit to add a fun story: I went to a concert at a casino. It was a known metal band performing 70s and 80s rock music that inspired them, and most of the folks were there for the big name metal band. You have to walk through the casino to get to the space where the performance is so basically all of the concert goes just walked right past the slot machines and card tables and straight into the concert around 9ish, and then straight out around midnight.
Lemme tell you the old ladies getting off the retirement home bus at midnight to spend the early morning with the one-armed-bandit and the other old ladies sitting at the slot machines gave us concert goers the dirtiest most judgemental looks imaginable. I was a young adult and it took me a bit to realize how rediculous it was for the ones being miserable while gambling away their life savings in the middle of the night thought us concert goers who spent $50 to go spend a few hours seeing some awesome live music and walking out with shit eating grins on our faces were the ones making poor life choices
This is like my gambling story, except I just lost $60 on a slot machine in ten minutes and wondered why people thought this was fun.
