My buddy needed a ride home from the casino at 3am last night.  Kept me up much longer than I would have liked.  They lost $800 and got too drunk to get home.  LOL.  I have no idea whey someone would engage in pumping $800 into a slot machine that late at night but I assume that boredom has to play a role.  Maybe for those who are finding themselves gambling more than they would like or losing money on slot machines regularly, what you need is a more interesting or fun hobby to take up your time instead of losing money hoping to see pretty lights and hear fancy noises.
