I would say no, but it should be a pleasant experience depending on the casino and if it's your first time entering one, I've already entered several times so I don't feel much anymore, but I still want to take my girlfriend to visit a casino, she doesn't like it that much, but she finds the experience interesting since there are no regulated casinos here in Brazil, so we would have to travel
Honestly not really if you're purely in it for an edge. Blackjack with basic strategy or counting is alright, but house edge still catches up eventually. Poker is pretty much the only thing where you're playing the players and not the math. Everything else is basically paying for entertainment.
gamble a bit if you can afford it . just don't go overboard ! stick to poker if you are a strong player ; that way you have a chance to win some money long term . if you are not a competent card player stick to the freerolls and have some fun there .

If, by " is it worth playing any other games besides poker and poker variants?", you mean "Is it worth it spending some money to have fun?", then my answer is yes.
But if you go to a casino as a serious and responsible player, looking to make some money, yes again, but only in regard to a couple of games. Blackjack and Craps, Baccarat to a lesser extent. Those are the games where the house edge is so small that you can turn it in your favor if you know what you're doing of course. Nothing is that easy, just like in life anyway.
