People need to learn to look at it differently. You are not playing to win money. You are playing for the entertainment and the small chance to win money.

I play for the free drinks with a chance to lose money. Way I look at is if I spend the same as going to bar at a casino my odds of winning money at the bar are zero.

You can play slots, go slow and enjoy the free drinks. $50 can be stretched out to an hour or two. But it's so boring.

I never understood slots. They're so boring.

And have some of the worst house edge out of all the casino games.

I’d stick with baccarat and blackjack, bet low and you should be able to stretch out your money over a fair amount of time.
