You are visiting that casino all day long for escape or you are far away from escape?

Honestly, it's not easy to understand what you really mean.

The phrase suggests that seeking comfort in temporary distractions often keeps you trapped in the very cycle you are trying to flee.

Honestly if you're spending all day in a casino just to escape life, you're not escaping anything, you're just delaying the real world and paying for it.

It's sort of an escape, no windows, no clocks, kind of nice. Heck if you turn your phone off, you can escape for quite awhile.

I only play online and I play very rarely. 1-2 times a month I can spend $20-$30 if I'm in the mood. For me it's just a way to get distracted.

Being trapped in a casino is not a favorable financial situation .Hopefully you can have access to the pool !

A classic psychological trap, which in therapy is called escapism. This is the most dangerous motive. If you feel that you are playing in order to "escape" - contact a psychologist.

I believe it can be both ways. You're trying to escape from something, but then you've escaped to another trap you may not even realize until it's too late.

But as long as you've successfully escaped that thing you're running away from, and it brings you comfort, knowing that you did, then all is good. We have different ways of finding comfort.

If there are free spins, I play. If there aren't, I wait for them to appear 😉

I was at the casino recently, and while the place was pretty drab overall, they had some seriously delicious pizza. Next time I'm there, I'll definitely stop by the casino to get another slice of that pizza.Some people are born to gamble, some are not.

It depends, if you have fun you can feel that you are escaping from the routine and enjoying !

I play poker because it's profitable. I play slots because it's fun. But I'm definitely not looking for an escape 🙂

It's problematic if you consistently use casino games to distract from important problems, but that could be said for many activities.

I really dont enjoy playing games where the house has the edge, so its not an escape to me.

For me, the casino should be entertainment, not an escape. If I ever feel like I’m using gambling to avoid problems or stress, that would be a good reason to step away for a while.
