A person must pay $7 to play a certain game at the casino. Each player has a probability of 0.12 of winning $11, for a net gain of $4 (the net gain is the amount won 11 minus the cost of playing 7). Each player has a probability of 0.88 of losing the game, for a net loss of $7 (the net loss is simply the cost of playing since nothing else is lost).
