I kind of enjoy exploring black boxes, trying how different inputs are mapping to differences in outputs. It's kind of like hacking. The problem is, they keep altering the box.
The box is stochastic by design, and has an untraceable amount of complexity between its context and output by nature.

It may be fun to look at inputs and outputs, but it's not hackable and trying to map one into the other is more like astrology than a science.

The third sentence got to what my objection was going to be. It's fun trying to make the thing do what you want it to do! That's why many of us like computers. It's the randomness that sucks and makes the process unsatisfying.
That's just just a slot machine
