What is exactly meant and understood by this "personal enjoyment" generic category?
Yeah, quite confusing this but for sure, it's totally something self pleasure when doing gambling, more entertaining our ownselfs.
honestly I get pleasure when I play poker because I like strategy games, maybe the fun side of poker is that this game really doesn't depend on luck. but in other types of games such as pure luck, I don't get the pleasure of every play, in my opinion, only victory makes us happy. but it is indeed difficult to gauge the level of pleasure of others, maybe for them it is fun, and vice versa for me it's normal.
Maybe it is the joy one person feels whenever he experience winning. In any form of gambling whether it is pure luck or strategical, losing is more certain and more expected before even playing the game. Although winning do not happen often, small time win is enough for the gamblers to continue such activity which makes gambling an addicting activity. Good thing is that there are still people who just enjoy the game itself and not the profit from doing so. It is just matter of a gambler's mindset of what would make him stay to the 'game'.
