    Gambling is purely about mathematics - nothing more, nothing less. To get a true picture of Vegas, you have to see how the gambling has changed over the years, and it is at an all-time low. The casino’s greed is unbelievable these days. These days it is almost mathematically impossible to win. So nowadays, I play mathematically to lose as little as possible, yet gain as many freebies and offers from the properties that I love. If you’d like to talk numbers and strategy, I’d love to talk to you. You can tweak the gambling that you do, so you can still get the vegas experience, but tilt things a little bit more in your favor. You won’t win, but you’ll lose far less, play longer if you want to, and get more freebies and discounts. I’m sure you might know some of this already. Thank you for the insightful videos!

    I agree with you entirely, only use the slot that speaks to you somehow 😂. I prefer slots and its relaxed, at your own pace. $1 slots for me off $100 bill. That money I consider gone, but if I double my money that is the point I cash out. I then await the next slot to call to me which usually takes hours!

    My game of choice is Texas Holdem poker. My first game of choice was blackjack. I played a lot of blackjack at Treasure Island by the Twin Cities in Minnesota back in 2003 to 2006. It was very fun but I realized that the more I played the more I lost. I recommend poker because it is a very social game and because there is a way to improve your skills.

    I also don't gamble for all the reasons you mentioned. So I'm no expert. I have been told that most modern Vegas blackjack pays out at a 6:5 ratio instead of a 3:2 ratio. So it's not even the same game odds wise that has traditionally been played there. I think you have the right attitude of picking a cool looking slot machine and enjoying operating it for a while. If you win that's a plus.

    You shouldn't eat steak in any restaurant. Restaurants no longer get the best meat; people will pay $55 for supermarket beef so they've stopped buying USDA prime beef. I didn't find 1 place in vegas that specified USDA prime; and if it just says "Prime", it's not USDA prime.

    I like that you try to order interesting menu items and give an honest detailed review about everything. I like the idea of dropping a bill into a slot but I think you should switch it up and put $100 in instead of $50 but if you win $50 you stop. The high limit slots are boring visually so it would be better if you picked a random slot in the normal area that looks exciting but please no buffalo like everyone else shows

    I play the low end of high limit slots as well generally $5-$12.50 a spin multiple times a week most the time and I've lost a decent amount of money but it's pretty entertaining I look at it the same way as you though I'll usually put 200-300 in and if I win great if I don't whatever. You are right though casinos are 100% rigged against you I think the best way if you Wana win at a casino is go maybe once or twice a year tops as smaller sample sizes in casinos can have very unpredictable outcomes especially on slots. It's when you consistently gamble that you can expect a loss as casinos bank on people that never stop gambling
