As an avid casino player, I can certainly appreciate the importance of entertainment value. Gambling is meant to be an enjoyable escape and outlet, not a job or chore. While the thrill of winning is always welcome, the games themselves must stand on their own merit.
If slot machines or table games aren't at least somewhat fun and intriguing to play, they become a waste of time and money. The odds will always favor the house in the long run, so we play for the experience. An amusing cocktail, an attractive staff, comfortable seats, and an exciting pace of play augment that experience.
A dice roll or card flip that elicits an emotional reaction - whether good or bad - brings me more joy than just staring at quickly spinning reels. Give me games I can associate stories and inside jokes with, not just a job of randomly pressing buttons. The entertainment factor is what brings me back again and again, even when the odds turn against me as they inevitably must. At the end of the day, I’m there to laugh, commiserate with friends, and lose myself in the fantasy for a while. The money is just a way to keep score.
