The problem is, the "fun" part of gambling is the expectation of winning. Sure, there are some other factors, such as drinks or social interactions in brick-and-mortar casinos, but I can't imagine many people would bother stepping into a casino (or logging in) if they knew for sure that they will end up losing.
So gambling is not quite like other forms of entertainment and you can't really separate the "fun" part from the money.

And, what's funny, most people would probably feel much better if they drank away $200 in a bar with their mates, than if they lost $100 in a casino. Because losing always has some negative emotional load.
Well, you are probably right that what makes gambling fun is the fact that you can win money, or you could say, big money, which might not be a usual thing but there is always a hope deep inside one's mind that they can hit a jackpot or a big multiplier in each bet that they make, and that thought makes losing less hurtful in my opinion.

It's obviously true that no one would simply gamble if they knew that there is nothing they can get in return no matter what happens, so it's basically the urge to win big that makes gamblers gamble and lose money almost every single day but return the other day with the same hope and mindset again.
