I don't do casinos and games (other than slots for a night once every few years in Vegas when visiting the outlaws) as I usually lose. So rather than loose $300-500 in a night at a casino that I could EASILY do
I drop a couple hundred per year in lottery tickets. Takes my impulse and poor gambling decision capability - particularly when alcohol is rumored to be involved (once lost and regained a 260Z in on a card table) - and turns it into some light fun gambling with little ability to screw it up. All at a low annual cost.
