It starts out fun. I have an issue with feeding my dragon and I can play for an hour or more and it never even appears. When it does appear I'm lucky I get little more than what I bet. I don't that high because I always lose. I like to enjoy the games so I need some chips left over. I don't know if you have to bed a certain amount to activate your dragon, but when you feed it and it's full I guess I'm expecting too much from it.
