At least poker is fair. Funny enough fair gambling is considered illegal and immoral for some reason, but slot machines are okay, even as they are designed in every way to victimize dumb people.
I mean even if it were just better odds it would be worth it maybe. If I were regulating gambling, I would make sure that Casinos had to pay out at least 90% of what they brought in and distributed widely with some mathematical function that approximates a bell curve.
Ha yeah but profits must only go up so all the casinos would just pivot to something else. Sociopaths would never accept a 10% margin even on that large of a pool of money. Thats restaurant margin territory and you dont see the mafia running many legitimate restaurants for the income.
Poker isn’t really a fun game. Try playing it without money. It gets boring super fast.
If a game needs money to be fun, it’s not a fun game.

Gotta get the money from the poors somehow, and someone with skill might win it back if its allowed to be skill based.

Absolutely but who cares? It saves people from being taken advantage of, and if someone does run a casino it would actually be fun.
I’ve played it once in the past. Just the normal poker with five cards in your hand and you get two rounds of changing cards.
It was fun.
I lost 2 imaginary dollars.
