And he can't control his visual emotions well so other heros go "why are you looking at my grandma like that man??" And Billy going "haha, she looks familiar.." while the champions are screaming like their favorite actor showed up in a film

Flash: this is my great-great-great-grandpa! (Picture of some old guy)

The Ghosts Of Champions Past: AHHHHHHH REGIE GET OVER HERE YOUR BOYFRIEND IS HERE!!!!

Captain Marvel (blank faced): ...

Flash: You good man? You're kinda looking at my grandpa like he killed your wife and kids

Captain Marvel: Oh, um my bad.. just real quick is his name-

The dead champions: CHARLES!!!

Captain Marvel: C-charles..?

Flash: Yeah! Wait- how did you know?!

Marvel visibly red faced and avoiding eye contact, being forced to listen to the other champions cry Charles name: Haha lucky guess?..

It's also why he was still around when Clockwork said "In order to help you manage your speed more, King Phantom will be teaching you."

Big money, big money!

I don't know if I'd call it a straight up gambling addiction, but I think the lights and colors and risk vs reward aspect of gambling would scratch at Sonic's more impulsive, in-the-moment nature. For that same reason though, I think he'd also get bored of casinos pretty quick! At least with things like slots or roulette, games that are entirely luck and chance based, with little input from the player involved. I feel like he'd get really tired of it, even if he was winning a lot. I don't know that it would be super satisfying to him. So the impulse to just stop would kick in and he'd leave, lol.

Card games and pool, and even arcade games or pinball, would be more Sonic's speed, since he can actively do something to affect the outcome, even if only in a small way. Plus, in the case of cards and pool, he's also playing against other people, which would appeal to his competitiveness, too. There's way more satisfaction to be had in using a poker face and reading people's tells to pull a win out from under someone else's nose than just playing the odds against a machine.
