No, I think you miss the point completely.
I go in to a ship's casino with a small amount of money that I fully
expect will not be in my pocket when I leave. It's more akin to going
to see a Mets game than your silly example. But yes, I actually do get
a kick out of the flashing lights, bells, funny side games that many
slot machines have. It's boardwalk honkey tonk which makes me laugh.
Isn't there some activity or entertainment that you enjoy is totally
frivolous? So far, your responses have been a bit judgemental.
