Fuck this hits hard.

I never understood slots, nor gambling in general.

So I never saw how fucking HUGE it is. Oh my god people sink THOUSANDS of dollars of their hard earned money every month on the stupidest slots imaginable. The more stupid the slot is, the more popular it gets.

Online, offline, doesn't matter. People are at it EVERY SECOND of the time. It does not stop. Ever.

I worked in a bar and I can't remember exactly but the money taken on a busy Saturday the pokies were 5x the money taken on the tills for drinks. Obviously drinks cost money also so that's not profit. But I was amazed the country I come from people don't really gamble like that.
