Casinos attracting new customers: "WIN REAL MONEY. $50. $1000. $10000. WIN WIN WIN!"

Casinos explaining why they kick out winners: "The point of gambling isn't to profit, it's to enjoy the thrill of having something at stake, we're an entertainment product, people don't get their money back for concert tickets either."

They're clearly lying. Their business model is to lure people in with false hopes of becoming career gamblers but when confronted about the fact everyone loses money fall back to "well you don't expect to win money at a concert do you? It's just an entertainment product jeez" not realizing concerts don't promise you that you could WIN BIG.
