Responsible gamblers may very well look at a casino visit as a cost or value on some form of entertainment. Ask any non-responsible gamblers if they are getting the value of entertainment when they enter a casino with the rent money. A number of successful players enjoy playing the game and the atmosphere that the casino brings. While their are others who are successful at the game, but despise the actual casino environment altogether. This latter group may play often or only periodically based on different economic needs. Still in this latter group there are some players who continue playing that do not rely on or need any income from gaming. I fall into this last group and speaking only for myself "I worked a normal job for many years" I play much less often now but I continue to play because I can and I am pretty good at it. Otherwise I would never play again. Out of all the many years I have played part time in a casino never once did I ever feel I was being entertained while playing the game.
