I'm often asked whether I prefer slots or poker. It's a debate that rages on, but I have to give the edge to poker.
Slots are fun, low key, and the machines have a certain hypnotic quality to them. Pull that lever and who knows, you might get lucky! But the house will always win in the end. Poker at least gives you a fighting chance to outwit your opponents and walk away a winner. There's real skill involved, bluffing, calculating odds, reading your competitors.
I've seen players agonize over slot decisions for hours only to end up losing their life savings. At the poker table, I've watched amateurs start with $20 and leave with $10,000 chips just through smart play. Sure, the odds always favor the house in poker too, but with enough strategy and moxie, you can profit.
In the end, the casino revels in taking money from both slots and poker players. But if I had to bet on myself, I'd put my money on being able to outplay the other guys at the poker table versus out-luck the slots. Some may call me crazy, but that's the thrill of it! The allure of poker keeps bringing me back again and again. Slots just don't stimulate my gambling soul the same way. More power to anyone who loves their slots - I'll stick with the poker!
