@abc: Gambling companies have a wide variety of psychological tricks to keep you always coming back for more. One prominent hack is the Near Miss Effect. Typically, when we perform a task and get close to success, our brains interpret this as a reason to try again. Unfortunately, in games of pure chance, getting close to a ‘win’ has no influence on your future odds of success, yet despite this, your brain is still manipulated into coming back for more.

It’s the same when I vote, my party almost gets elected and it’s the near miss that gets me to vote again for them! No skill

Gambling is destroying many communities all for the benefit of a few billionaires.

Yeah the problem is that it’s possible to improve at throwing a spear or shooting a bow and arrow - I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure the people of the old school would throw a spear so well that they’d be made illegal in London (and Sydney)
