However, that game is not totally fair. There's a house edge and of course fees to pay the Ethereum network (the miners).
And stepping back, I think Ethereum overall slightly missed the mark. I like the idea of Turing complete programs verified in a blockchain. But I don't think there should be any cost if you're able to run your own node. Further, it's impossible to know the cost of a Turing complete program (halting problem) which is further compounded by the relatively confusing fee chart (variable based on market demand) and currency unit names.
