When I first walked into a casino, it felt like stepping into another world. The lights, the sounds, the energy—everything was designed to make me feel excited and hopeful. High rollers might find themselves with offers of free hotel rooms, gourmet meals, or even tickets to shows. These perks, known as "comps," are designed to make you feel special and valued, encouraging you to keep spending. I remember my first time in a casino, thinking I’d only been there for an hour or two.
