This is why I also don't gamble in real life

My luck.. is.. non existent. playing black jack I stay at 20, dealer has like 8 and hit's right to 21, Slots have paid out like twice and Ride the bus 95% time when I chose red it was black and when I chose black it was read. It's not the game. It's me who should just never gamble fake, real, anything in between. I'm not built to win yall.

Blackjack you'll lose money long term, it's not about this game. But it's even worse in this game, because of no 3:2 payout and no split/double options. It's just a horrible version of Blackjack, totally rigged to favour the casino.

The 2 others are fine. The slots are not balanced at all (heavily rigged in your favour). Ride the bus step #1 is a 50/50 so it's balanced, if you're smart about it you only continue if it's to your advantage. If you flip a 7, 8 or 9 as the opening card, there's no point in playing step #2. 50% to win to increase your gain by 50% is a losing proposition. If you flip a 3, then it is a winning proposition. Same for the 3rd step. 4-J is bad, 4-6 is good. The 4th and final step is always good.

My luck's terrible gambling IRL too.

First time, made myself a rule that I'd come in with $20 and if at any point I had lost up to $20, I'd stop. Came out $70 ahead, beginners luck, but I had pocket money for Dead Island Riptide so it was a successful first time. Second and third time I lost my $20 in the first half hour and just chilled and ate. Forth time I only went for the pizza, didn't even play.

I do remember after stopping that I kinda decided I liked the place even though I wanted to leave, because I'd bring my PSP with me and could get high ranked recruits for Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker in there.

That's cool and all but like I said. It's not the game it's me. I don't think anything needs to change. I think I need to not gamble.
