Don't the casinos follow some general "rules" of a suitable cost for a suitable time of entertainment???

Something like, on the average, statistically, $xxx(x) loss per hour for the excitement and elegance??

Not an expert, but a buddy, long time ago, worked on one of the domestic gambling devices
"for the masses", in the mechanical days, they were "mechanically tuned" to have a
+/-0 return for a "skilled person" starting with something like $200, in one hour.

However, there was some additional functions, like the "machine" grabbing a certain
percentage in a very stable statistic way, making "the hole thing possible".

Additionally, as with most things in life, when reaching the zero cash point, the game
and the statistics obviously ended, at a total loss of the capital one started with.

Considering the statistical long term fluctuations, this minor nonlinearity, end of game
at zero, makes al the general rules of statistics kind of strongly skewed.
(it wasn't/isn't a one handed bandit(?), much smarter and more factors giving a higher
value of entertainment, as well as "acquired motorical skill")
