I do not like losing 20 dollars from pulling a handle on a machine.
I used to visit the casino with my grandpa. I would always come out ahead using a fool-proof strategy: I would pocket most of my "play money" and only play the cheapest slot I could find max bet - either I came out ahead, or I hung out around grandpa implying it was time to go. Eventually, he would shoo me away so he could play longer and insist I take another fat bill. When he finally said it was time to go (because either he got the "big one", or ran out of cash) then I would smile really big and show him my "winnings". I would sneak it into his pocket - sometimes he would notice and get mad, other times... it was MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
