Not anymore. Used to love carrying around a big cup of coins & hearing winnings jingle as they spit out. Once they changed to paper receipts it lost its magic lol.
Did enjoy roulette the couple times I played.
I always only brought $100 so no big losses. Always left with $0.
Yes, I am a high roller and like handling grimy money ??

I miss those days too. I like simpler slots. The new ones with large video screens and themed slot games with terrible payouts make me cringe playing those machines.

I like to make a few $5 bets at the beginning of football season every year, but the novelty fades quickly. Sometimes I'll bet a few bucks on baseball. Maybe around $50 a year.

Bet anywhere from $20-$200 every single day on my phone.
I dont recall the last time I had to deposit more money into an account.

Maybe twice a year and it's usually because i'm out with a friend group that are pretty much compulsive gamblers who always manage to find a casino in the vicinity of where we are at the time.

Seems fun if done in moderation. Always wanted to try one of those promos the betting apps offer.

About to fly out of Vegas now and didn’t gamble at all. Just not my thing. I’ve seen friends lose their life savings because they can’t stop winning. Y’all have fun at the poor house.

My wife (no Pics) used to go once every 3-6 months. Used to get free rooms during the week and free give away stuff from a couple of casinos. Won some but lost more, shocking. It was just recreation and we always had limits on how much to lose. Now we just buy lotto tickets and scratch offs. $40.00 a week which is way lower than what we lose in one visit to a casino.

Don't recall ever buying a scratch off but might buy a cheap one just for fun soon. Maybe I'll buy a powerball ticket as well. Seems harmless enough

We’ll buy the occasional lottery ticket when traveling out of state. But gambling really has never been my thing. Nothing against those who enjoy it, it’s just not something that’s ever really interested me.

Casino, once maybe every 5 years for events if that.

Online? For football season I give myself $20 for the year. I do $1 bets just for kicks. I don't win much and I don't lose much.

I have never put money into my Bank of America account and then had less 30 seconds later.

When we lived in Chicago I used to all the time. Now that we live in South Carolina I can't, though I will throw in some bets when I travel to a state where it's legal.

Never. Gambling just has never been my vice. I can't stomach losing money even if it's a small amount. I can watch sports just for entertainment and not for gambling.
