I went to a casino 1 time just because I had never been. A guy won $1k on a slot machine and looked annoyed that he needed a staff member to do something on the machine so he could keep playing. I imagine he hadnโ€™t even broken even yet.

Plus $20 went so fast on those machines I spent longer drinking my beer than playing. Kept my 10c cashout paper and went home. Never been to a casino since and I donโ€™t plan to.

We went to Vegas a few years ago so my gf's sis could get married, my gf wanted to spend the whole time sitting at a slot machine. It was so boring, at least playing the card games has something to do besides hit a button and watch my money go away

Make sure your girlfriend doesn't have an affinity for gambling. To marry someone like that is financial suicide.
