With poker the house takes a “rake” from each hand so they get a certain % of whatever is being gambled for hosting. Since the game involved skill they have to do this to ensure they are making money regardless of who wins.
Pretty much every other game is like you describe; people being bad at maths and conditioned to keep going with inconsistently timed rewards.
If you are good at math you can be very succesfull with black jack. However casinos dont really like this and this might get you kicked out. I have also heard, that they use multiple decks to make counting cards harder, but I dont know if that’s true.

Man, those random rewards makes for some wicked conditioning.
Isn’t blackjack a game you can also beat the house more easily than other games?
