This is great advice for not only casinos, but life. Too many people blame others for influencing their actions instead of blaming themselves for blindly following people without thinking. You don’t have to gamble. I would say a majority of the times I’ve been in a casino I didn’t gamble. It isn’t hard.

Yes, that's correct. At the end of the day, it's always us who makes the decision, and if we make the wrong turn, then it's also up to us to correct it. We cannot point fingers, telling it's their fault because we made a choice. I have also been in a poker room without even playing a single hand, and I felt just fine because I got to watch the thrilling games that were played during the mini-tournament.

I guess it depends on the perspective of a gambler. Sometimes it's enough for a person to just watch games instead of playing them.

Like myself, I do sometimes enjoy watching other gambler play without playing myself, most especially when it comes to games like poker which is a game that can be played by two or more persons, and especially games that I don't know how to play myself, a good example being this poker, and also chess, chess is another very interesting game I am still looking forward to learning how to play since it's one I enjoy watching as well..

And coming back to blaming other people for outcomes of our very own decisions, it's like a habit for some people, that is, it's in their nature to look for something or someone to put blame on for what ever bad experience they have in gambling.
I've seen a person put the blame on a goat that was just passing across the compound for being the reason he lost while playing a slot game, he said he was going to win, but he took his eyes off his phone to see whats passing, and by the time he looked at his phone again, he had lost, we had a good laugh 😂 that day, maybe he was simply joking but he appeared serious...
It is in some person's nature to find something or someone to blame for every single negative thing they experience in life, not just in gambling alone.
