In the topic of gambling, I often see the word "entertainment". Nevertheless, each user means some meaning by this. Many people believe that entertainment is the main driving force of any gambling. And many even believe that entertainment is a much more physiological need than, for example, a desire to get rich. If you initially set yourself the goal only to have fun, and limit the amount that you are ready to take a chance, then you play for the sake of entertainment, and not because of the thirst for profit. You risk less. But if you ask you what entertainment is for you, then this question will be at a dead end. They do not know what entertainment is. Wikipedia writes that this is activity for pleasure.
But I see in this a certain cognitive activity, only with poorly formulated goals. For example, you play in order to understand the laws of the game over time and learn to win more often.
Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?
If you enjoy the game that you played then that is entertainment in my opinion. So let's say you go and play your favorite slot machine then you get lucky and win some money or at least your capital lasted that long then I guess that is you having fun and enjoying and be entertained.
And if you win big then good for you, at least you hit two birds with one stone and you can sleep very happy. You can also be entertained even at a lost, of course you only gamble what you can afford to lose so there's no strings attached after taking that L.
