Things do seem more boring when you're making money for it. Does this effect have a name?

I'm reminded of the first time I ever went to a casino. After an hour of exploring and putting the occasional dollar in a slot machine, I was about five dollars down. "Oh well, I thought, five dollars for an hour's entertainment is pretty good value!". Then on the next machine, I won ten bucks, and found myself thinking "An hour's work for five dollars? What a gip!"
