I played the slots once, just because I'd never been to a casino before and I was just doing it for fun. I won $12 and quit right then and there. They say the house always wins, but that's just because most folks don't know when to quit.

I do see people as idiots if they keep on losing money over and over and keep at it, anyway. The addicts obviously need help, but I'm talking about people still in control of themselves but who choose to make foolish decisions.
The house doesn't necessarily defeat every person, but that's not really the goal. Every time someone plays, they statistically win. Whether they paid out that $12 to you or some addict who put it back in the machine, it was going to happen once every so many plays.
