I don't even think slots should even be called gambling because it's just the mindless hitting of random buttons that a chimp could do.You know going in to play that the takeout is like dribbling water wearing down a stone where your bankroll over the long and short haul will just wither away.Why do seemingly intelligent people like Bill Bennet the political hack-syndicated radio host lose millions playing slots?I guess they aren't that smart like they make themselves out to be.Just in my area alone there have been a dozen senior accountant and head banking women that got caught embezzling money to play the slots with the stolen loot.When does it become evident to these people that they keep digging a deeper hole for themselves and even if they hit a huge jackpot,they will still be in trouble?The risk and reward factor should be so obviously evident not in your favor that the rain man would know to stay away from slots.
Then you have what I call are the first of the month motley crew who get their SSI and other entitlement checks that flock to the casinos to blow the money on slots.
It really says a lot about how stupid our population is when slot machines can be so alluring to people.I had a Mills nickel Castle front-slot-gum machine as a kid and got bored of playing it by the age of 6.
Another stupid game of awful odds is state lotteries.It's ok to play the 6-49 when no one has won it for 6 weeks and there is 150 million in the pot that you never contributed towards.The real sucker lottery game are the scratch offs where you see usually somewhat working poor people spend a few bucks on at the convenience stores when they get gas.People making slave wages will get 3 gallons of gas,5 -$1 scratch off lottery tickets and an inflated Slurpee,Ding Dong and pack of breath mints and there goes a $20 bill down the shit hole.
Then you have half ass poker players who never played for more than match sticks that watched the movie Rounders and they insist they are good enough to play with serious money.At least if they played just in smaller tournaments at their local casino they wouldn't lose all that much realizing they aren't that good.
Then you have poor old horse racing where it suffers because it's complicated,has inside terms where novices don't undersrtand the game and dart board picking doesn't pay off because of the huge takeout the states gets on exotic bets as well as even win,place and show bets.Then who nowadays wants to pay to park,pay admission and buy a racing form to give someone the opportunity to fleece them.So they look to the good old slot machine for salvation to make money from the idiots so they can add the procedes to race purses.
Anyone here ever watch that intervention tv show about addictions and confronting people in the family out of control?Have they ever run a show on slot addiction?
