I totally agree. I joined a land based casino years ago, purely because a friend took me as a guest. I had a great night and so I became a member, simple as that. All the advertising and hype in the world will not attract the majority of people, but I think the try-it- and-see-for-yourself approach does work. A bit like the tiny bits of cheese they tempt you with in supermarkets!At the end of the day, does anyone win vast amounts with the few freebees they give away? And you normally have to deposit anyway to make a withdrawal. Nuff said!
