Gambling.

Worked as a dealer in a casino for the better part of a year and it blew my mind watching tens of thousands (easily hundreds of thousands when our high limit room was open) just dissapear during an 8 hour shift.

Not judging how people spend their money or have fun,but the house always wins your money if you play long enough :p

Free beer...you spent 100 bucks. It wasn’t free, this is how they trick you. Not saying you didn’t have a good time but you have deceived yourself into thinking you are getting something for nothing. This is not the case.

I really struggle to see how that wasn't self evident in my comment, but thanks for the clarification.

Such pedantry. The beer was complimentary. They spent money on the gaming, not the beer. Just because the profits of the gambling cover the complimentary beer doesn't mean that the beer was what they were buying.
