Penny slots don't really offer high entertainment — they just make the grind feel less painful, which is why they're a crutch for casinos, not a genuine value proposition.

Penny slots do cater to a specific audience, but the "high-entertainment" angle often masks the design intent to keep players engaged through psychological triggers, not just enjoyment.

I get that they're seen as entertainment, but for a lot of people, the "high-entertainment" is just a cover for the slow, steady loss — and that's what keeps them coming back.
