A night in Vegas gambles on ending up with more money.
.....or losing you a fortune, more than you could actually afford to lose. Spending money on a videogame is worse than gambling? Surely they are both stupid things to do, but I am not sure that spending money on a videogame is worse than throwing your money away by gambling it. And if someone has more fun playing a game than driving a Ferrari, why not? As long as it's their money, they can spend it how they like, even if to us looks silly.
Then the loss is still real money at Vegas, as are the winnings.
The winnings in RNG lootboxes are still subject to the value the publisher/developer decides for them, which can change before, during, or after the RNG box is bought and paid for. They have 100% authority to render whatever item you win worthless. Not so in Vegas. Therein lies the essential difference in my mind. A sentiment shared by many, such as Iselin.
