Do you go to casinos? Do you enjoy gambling?

I watched "Ocean Thirteen" last night on DVD, and it just occurred to me that in my entire lifetime, I have been inside a casino only once. I played slots and although it was interesting, it didn't hold my attention much. I found the place crowded and smoky.
This made me curious. How many mylotters regularly visit a casino? How many have tried going and decided it was not for them? How many feel that gambling is addictive?
Feel free to share.

I have never been in a casino or gambled in any way. I really don't have the money to even put in slots, and I'm not the kind of person who would do it for fun. I understand a lot of people enjoy it though. I have an aunt that bankrupted my uncle. She gambled so much that no one would issue her credit, so she forged my uncle's name and ruined his credit. He is still trying to get out of the financial mess she put him in. They are still married. He loves her and I guess he has more patience than I would.

I Have never been to a cassino in my life and to be quite honest I really dont have any desire to go. I really dont see the point in throwing away all that money when it could be put to better use.

I had visited casino several times. During the foreign trips visiting the local casino is one of the schedules for touring. We were arranged to spend only half an hour in the casino. It’s a great experience to watch different people playing games there with their individual style and attitude. I am not interested totally in gambling as I believe it is always a losing and risky game. I think one would get addicted if he becomes interested in the games. Of course a gambler would definitely have no interest in his normal work as he always believes that gambling could make money easier and faster.

No. I have not been in a casino. That place scares me. I don't want to spend my money on something that I know have no guarantee that I can have it back. I mean, gambling is a game of luck and I don't have much of that. The only gambling that I do is play the lottery and that's all about it. But in a casino, I don't think that my $10 in my pocketbook is enough to be admitted there.

im not really into gambling either but i have always been fascinated why people go to casinos. my father doesnt like gambling and 'forbids' us to even go inside a casino. hehehe.. but my mom goes there sometimes just to have fun. i think she goes there like once or twice a month with my aunt. so to satisfy my curiosity i promised myself that when i turn 21 i would go to a casino and see what the fuss is all about. i told my mom i wanted to go with her in one of her trips so we did. i didnt like the place very much, its all so noisy and smoke everywhere which sticks into your clothes i may add. we played with the slot machines coz thats what she plays with and it was entertaining at times. grabbing the handle and see the pictures roll until they would stop, hoping you would land on a triple 7 or a triple bar or a cherry to get a jackpot. i came close to it too lol. i had also experienced winning bigger amounts which was nice but the thing with people inside the casino is that when they had won they would still go on playing it, and if they loose they use their previous winnings... which they would also loose in the long run. tsk tsk tsk.. and the other thing is the sitting down. lol... people sit there for hours and hours, i mean dont they all get tired of sitting. lol..

I am 32 years old and I have been in a casino twice once when I was 17 my cousin got married in Las Vegas and we stayed at Circus Circus of course I was not old enough to gamble then.
Then when I was over 21 we went to a showboar casino I played the nickle slot machines they are fun but I am not one who would get addicted to them I can't afford to put money in those things and not get money back. I don't even play the lottery that often that we have.

I ever goes to casino but I do not managed to came in the casino's corner. I was stuck in front of the casino's door with my friends. The security guard said that we are under age to enter that places. Yeah on that time my age is 16 which is not permitted to enter that such of place. Now Im growing as an adult but my interest to go to that casino is down. I prefer to go to fascinating place and peace like go to jungle, lake, mountain and village. I like the fresh an air.

i don't enjoy gambling and i do not like the casino scene in general. my money is too hard to come by to throw it away on gambling so someone else can get rich. i'll hold onto my money and use it for something tangible. i thnk gambling is a waste of time and money.

I have never been to a casino, nor have i ever gambled for money unless you count playing the lottery, though I seldom do that either. I enjoy the games they play in casinos, but i can play them on my computer and not have to worry about losing any money.
