I have never been to a casino. Is that how it works? Seems a lot like a scam if you're not allowed to use skill in a skill game.

I mean... Casinos are all a big scam to begin with lol

I mean, gambling in a casino is always going to be a bad bet but is it a scam if the odds are public knowledge to all involved and participation is 100% voluntary? I know I'm getting into thorny territory calling something addictive "voluntary" but let's kick that can down the road and assume that gambling is nothing more than taking a bad deal voluntarily. Is that a scam?
