Lived it before. Casinos exist to fuck with your head. What’s been illuminating for me is the P2W video games that adopt so many of the casino strategies to goad people into constantly feeding money into the machine. Once you start picking up on the queues and triggers coming off your cell phone, you can’t unsee it when you’re standing on the floor of the Bellagio.
I find it particularly terrible that these apps are not age restricted at all. You can’t enter a casino before you are 18 but if it is basically a slot machine with kitties on the smartphone, a 10 year old can play them all day long.

It’s fucked how normalised it is for betting and gambling to advertised.
Yeah, most predatory apps are almost like cheap ripoffs of refined system casinos got down to a science.
