I don’t fucking get it. Wouldn’t some form of basic intuition make it obvious that this is not a game of chance?If you roll a dice, you have a 1 in 6 opportunity to get the number you want. But to gamble using a computer program? Absurd.Even the original mechanical slot machines were rigged against the player - with several of the icons being unobtainable.
