Me too, and it reinforces how much I’d not want to actually gamble.. because no-stakes game gambling is often slanted in your favor, so if you play long enough you’ll probably hit big. It’s kinda fun.
I played one game (no clue what it was anymore) that had a “semi-realistic odds” setting with a big warning that while you’d still probably manage, you’d have to dig much further into your reserves to do so. And it wasn’t an easy win even with the setting off, it was fucking obnoxious because it was needed..
I went to a real casino a year or so ago, because it was a cheap hotel stay, and I got $10 free money for signing up and being a veteran (a demographic often plagued with gambling problems).. I played it and won $120 on the last pull, cashed out, and haven’t touched it since. It felt like a hook, because it was all done on tracking cards, and the casino industry is notoriously shady with behavior tracking and stuff, and it gave me the icks big time.
Without money, pretty much all gambling games turn out to be extremely boring.
I don't even do in-game gambling because it's just annoying. The last time I tried that, I ended up instead buying the 9999 coins with cash to get a Porygon, because the slot machines were so boring.
I find it boring with money too. The main difference is that you lose money instead of fake money. So I still like it better in games.
The one exception is the Luigi casino minigames from Super Mario 64 DS/New Super Mario Bros
