[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) In my town the cheapest drinks are at the casino. They want you drunk, and they want your money in the slots permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago LOL! Yup. I went gambling ONCE, with my grandparents who loved to go to Foxwoods. Played the slots, lost 20 bucks in a few minutes and got ZERO frisson from it. Am like "People get a charge from this..?" as I was sitting there watching the others in the aisle poke the spin button on the machines they were playing, like they were robots.. I had more fun the rest of the afternoon playing video games in the arcade. It took me a LOT longer to go through 20 bucks there. permalink fedilink source parent
