I went to a casino once because my roommate at the time wanted to go for a bit. He even spotted me $10 because I had no cash on me. Turned that $10 in to $40, paid back the roommate and left with the $30 and never went back.
When i was in Australia, i was kinda surprised how widespread gambling was. There were some gambling machines in almost every pub. I put 5 dollars in a machine and won 50. Never ever gambled again.

Its not so bad in Australia these days, depends on which state you’re tin too but yeah, fuck gamblibg.
It was quite weird to see. People just staring at a machine for hours. Did they change the law?
In Japan, people literally line up around the block at pachinko parlors before they open.
Somehow the vibe is slightly less gross than watching 20 retirees just pressing the slot machine button over and over.
Did they manage to get pokies out of all the AFL clubs yet? Last I paid attention, I think there might have been a couple of holdouts.
It varies state to state with NSW being the worst still:

This is the reason behind it
Some people are built differently.
I have no impulsion to gamble either. But one of my family members? So much money burned at casinos.
