Best of luck to you and we can now all more opening and honestly assess whether or not continuing to play and feed this slot machine is good uses of our time and money.

The gambling aspect really holds no water. It is no different than buying a pack of trading cards that has a chance for inserts at your local store. (like jersey cards or autographed cards)

Only difference could be that those are regulated and audited to ensure they are giving out the correct number of inserts for their advertised odds.

This is the same thing, only virtually. you are paying for the deck (or bridge) of X amount of cards and in those X card you have Y% of reward card.
