How do people enjoy gambling so much?

They had the company party at a casino and gave us spending money.

Lost it all but while playing the machines, I was astounded by the amount of money being spent and how quickly it left!

I don't see how gamble maniacs do it! It gave me anxiety losing and it wasn't even my money. Lol

Not to mention my throat started to get irritated by all the cigarette smoke. I had fun but I couldn't gamble every week like some do. It's crazy to me
