If the gambler isn’t responsible for his losses than who is? I think the whole idea of trying to place blame in the first place is a bit misguided. You’re paying for entertainment, so if you are looking to blame someone for you not being happy with your purchase than I guess you could blame the casino for not being entertaining enough, but it would be better to just find a form of entertainment you do enjoy.
Do you not ever find yourself blaming somebody else for something bad that happens to you? Yes, everything that happens to ourselves, we are entirely responsible for it but that doesn't mean people don't play blame game.

i blame myself, does that count as blame game?
Nope. Very meaning of phrase, 'blame game' is to blame somebody/something else rather than ourselves.
