Why do people still believe myths about casinos in 2025?
It’s 2025 and I still hear people say things like “this slot machine is due for a win” or “blackjack dealers can rig the cards.” Why do these myths stick around?

It mostly comes down to human psychology — we love to find patterns, even when there aren’t any. These beliefs give players a false sense of control. There's a good article that breaks it down:https://www.tori.ng/news/300966/why-do-casino-players-believe-misconceptions-in-20.html. It explains how old-school thinking, confirmation bias, and a lack of understanding of RNG (random number generators) all feed into these misconceptions. Even with all the information out there, many players still hold onto these ideas because they make losing feel less random.
