We can’t deny that slots have been insanely popular lately. Even though some of these games have a huge house edge, gamblers still keep coming back. On the other hand, dice games which have a much lower house edge (sometimes below 1%) don’t seem as popular anymore.

That got me thinking… It looks like most people go for what’s trending rather than caring about the house edge.

When you compare it to sports betting, experts say there's also a house edge, but you at least have a better chance of winning if you know how to analyze games. That’s why I’m still confused why do so many people prefer slots over sports betting when the odds in sports are generally better?

So, I want to hear from you, what do you enjoy more? Slots or sports betting? What makes you choose one over the other?

I would say that sports betting is way more entertaining.

At least there's a game that you are also probably watching and enjoying.

Whereas with the slot machines there's really nothing else other than some made up symbols spinning around.

I guess these games are designed to make people addicted to them, but I don't find them entertaining at all.
