That’s because the house always has the edge. Even with a 97% RTP and some slots paying even lower, the built-in advantage means we can never truly beat them if we play consistently. It’s by design. Slots are fun for a reason, and the crazy part is, people still call them fun even though most of us end up losing.
Sure in general that is true, but individual cases can happen. You can beat the only casino if you get out once you get very lucky. This happens very rarely, people just continue to play in most cases.
That’s why we can’t beat the casino in the long run. Even if we hit a big win, we’ll still come back and play again, and sooner or later the law of averages will kick in and we’ll lose. But even though we know that, as gamblers we still believe in luck. Since we get so much entertainment from gambling, even when we lose, we still keep coming back.

That’s the beauty of responsible gambling .. we can enjoy it for the long term, even if we lose in the long term.
