I feel like the people who like slot machines are the older generations who never got into video games

Seems like everyone is getting into bingo now at the casino's. From what I hear if someone under 65 wins the money the old people get pissed. Haha.

I don't really remember it at all, but it's odd to be surprised you don't understand something you don't know much about.


Who's surprised?

I've never understood games where there's no interactivity like slots or roulette.

Even then, I don't going to casinos at all.

The one time I've been to one it was horribly depressing.

You have to have an addiction-prone personality.

It's all a carrot on a stick where the game lets you taste a little bit every now and then.

If anyone really wants to make money at casinos, poker is where it's at. Or blackjack if you're good at counting cards (though this only gives you a sliver of an edge). Poker isn't even really gambling if you know what you're doing.

Fruit machines in the UK have a lot more gameplay involved but I don't think you really get them in America.

The result of this mental dullness is that inner vacuity and emptiness that is stamped on innumerable faces and also betrays itself in a constant and lively attention to all events in the external world, even the most trivial. This vacuity is the real source of boredom and always craves for external excitement in order to set the mind and spirits in motion through somethingthe craze for society, diversion, amusement, and luxury of every kind which lead many to extravagance and so to misery.

- Arthur Schopenhauer

Blackjack is my favorite but now I'm on baccarat.
