I've been to Vegas a couple of times, many years ago. I enjoyed the shows, food, and silly debauched spectacle of it all. But it gets old after a day or two.

Did almost no gambling at all. The machines are very boring to me, and I'm too intimidated to play at a real game with other humans. I would misunderstand the rules and the odds, and screw up the etiquette. I know enough to know that the house has a significant edge in almost any game you play against them. Even on the "best" odds games.

One of the guys that I went with made a decent chunk of money at Texas Hold'em. He said he really wasn't that great at it, he just got lucky and found a table full of drunk tourists who couldn't play for shit, and yet they would try to chase after it.

The casinos that have popped up in my home town all look dreadfully depressing.

It's sad how normalized gambling addiction has become.

Old people at the casino:

The casino sucking up their telemetry:

All of these people will vote to have "drug addicts" executed.

Vegas wasn’t built on winners.

Fuck yeah, no telemetry or tracking on those things. You go geezers!

A casino is a corporation, they want to make money. If people could go there and win money, they wouldn't make as much money. So they let the bare minimum amount of people win the bare minimum amount of money to make it look like the casino is fair and that you too can have a chance at winning big.

Went to a local casino with some friends and saw a Frankenstein themed slot machine with the big curved screen like that and decided to put a couple bucks in it to see what kind of stuff it did. A woman sitting at one warned me that they're terrible and don't pay out well before saying how many thousands of dollars she'd put into them, while still putting more in.
Gambling addiction is real

I don't get slot machines. They're not even slightly fun.

I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don't know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.

But as it stands, I don't think I'll ever visit a casino again. It's either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the "real" games.

Best thing about Vegas is the Pinball Museum & Hall of Fame.

I got double-LITZ there on my honeymoon vacation, and it was more meaningful to me than the marriage.

I go to Vegas regularly to see someone special to me

I despise gambling and haven't put a single cent into a casino

It's fucking scary seeing the zombies pouring money that they can't afford to lose into these awful machines

They stink of desperation

Glad we are funneling all the wealth to the older generation really a better use than IDK fucking anything.

The way they’re touching the screen makes me think this is a tournament slot. So the tournament has an entry fee and prizes for the highest score, but the individual games are played for points, so you just press the button as fast as you can and hope you are luckier than everyone else. Sometimes they also have touch screen mechanics like “wack a mole” or “catch the money in the tornado” to make it a little more interesting than just slamming a button. I wouldn’t call anyone a gambling addict based on just this picture.
