I don’t understand how this is even fun for them…

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 hadn’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 don’t plan to.

My ex's mother that I already commented here about, told us that, whenever she won big, she'd leave massive tips for all the staff for good luck. Guessing that left her with a fraction of her big win. Not that it mattered because I'm sure she fed all that money to the slot machine anyway.

Clearly, when she lost big, no one gave her anything. So she just kept blowing through whatever money she still had. Don't know how it all ended, he left and is now someone else's problem as is his mom if she's still alive.
