Yeah, sure it did. Somebody's paying to build all of those nice casinos. They always get you in the long run. If you are gambling because you think you are going to make money, get help. If you are gambling for entertainment and consider the losses to be the price of admission, keep doing it.
Purely for entertainment. I've only been to Vegas three times in my adult life, but I've come out ahead each time. I have a very strict budget and never blow it. Have just been lucky.
