Topic: Are online slot games purely based on luck, or is there any skill involved? - page 4. (Read 938 times)

When it comes to slots, there is an RTP and there is a live RTP. Metawin.com had live RTP before that showed you how much the slot was paying live but they removed this option because people were confused, and couldn't understand what was the difference between RTP and live RTP.

I think that live RTP is very beneficial for gamblers. There are two ways to risk, you either choose a game with high RTP with the expectation that you'll drain it till the RTP is high or you choose a game with low RTP with the hope that it's the lowest right now and the RTP will increase significantly as you gamble.

That luck has also been regulated by the system, maybe a new account will be given a win at first but then will only get a loss and this will play the psychology of every gambler to continue to increase the amount of money used for slot games.

Players have to be wise in slot games, not too FOMO to get big jackpots, have to be aware when getting big wins at the beginning, and it's a sign to stop.
But the truth is that more of them don't stop and are too greedy.

I play more Sportsbook and pick a team that has the potential to win because we can do our research first, although it also depends on luck, but not completely.

We have different preference but it is fine ofc, I prefer to play high-extreme volatility because I like to hunt big multiplier.
I dont like regular small wins because I do not play big per spin as mostly I use the allowed minimum bet on the slot so I can play longer with it while hunting the big multiplier.


Dont forget about bonus buy feature, it is something popular since few years back although not all slot provider implement it but recently almost all popular slot provider implement it on their games.

Slot games just like every other casino games are strictly based on luck, there are no skill sets to learn that will constantly put you in profit, if there was a possibility in that then a lot of people would have made millions from gambling...casino games are uncertain, you can't predict the outcome of a particular round but with risk management you can have a Little leverage..Not being greedy would help you minimize losses and aiming for just doubling your stake alone instead of thinking of tripling or making it x5

When discussing poker and blackjack games, I agree that these games include skills so there must be a strategy used so that there is a chance of increasing victory or as you say changing the course of gambling to maybe be more profitable, but even so, I think luck is still involved. Some people who gamble poker or blackjack as well as others that require skill must have a strategy, but it's different from slot gambling which in my opinion is actually just a matter of luck but there are people who are confident in having a strategy to win at slot gambling, actually that is the right of each, but I think the strategy applied to slot gambling has no effect at all.
In slot gambling it is not strange that there is such a thing as RTP, some people think that RTP is a benchmark that games that have a high percentage of RTP are good games (most likely you can win). But I myself think it doesn't affect anything at all, including the victory. So for slot gambling in my opinion is purely dependent on luck, but with other gambling there are indeed those who use skills.

Yes, that's clear, or what I mean is that there are no skills that can be applied in this type of slot game, and there is also no way to influence the outcome of the game, unlike other types of bets such as sports where there are statistics or a team's track record that can be used as a consideration for making decisions that have a greater chance, simply as you said OP that slots are random games that depend on luck to win.

Regarding the previous RTP, I really had high confidence in the RTP percentage provided by the casino, which made it very easy for me to make aggressive decisions when I saw a percentage of 95% on one type of game, but in the end I realized that actually the RTP provided by the casino is part of their strategy to make gamblers feel more interested in playing, or simply I might say that the RTP machine does not always match the performance of the game, in the sense that when you see the RTP on one of the games is 95%, it does not mean that the game will always run well, I have tried and proven it.

So never put high hopes of winning just because you see that the game has an RTP percentage above 95%, in the end it depends on how lucky you are at that time.

In a game that relies on luck like slots, no matter what strategy you use, it will be useless since the casino has a "house edge" which always gives it an advantage over the players. Casinos have designed their games with a low probability of winning from the start, so if someone wants to win or get a jackpot from slots, then they need to have good luck on that day.

Those aren't skills lol, or at least are related to any type of skill you have. They're more like tricks more than skills really. It's taking advantage of a system that has many competitors amongst each other, hence why there are some that are a lot better than others (in terms of, say, bonuses, RTP, etc). Nothing new really, pretty standard stuff that happens whenever an industry grows too big, not really limited to gambling.

And even with these so-called "advantages", casinos are still in the end businesses. House edge will ALWAYS be against you, meaning you still lose in the long run. There's been rare instances where house edge was removed fro some players temporarily but that's because they're something similar to a VVVIP or something.

This can be taken as an example to generalize. If you are betting on a game that has a House Edge or a Return to Player, it is because it is not a skill game. They are two sides of the same thing, so if the HE is 2% the RTP is 98%. This is why in the long run it doesn't matter what "strategies" you want to try.

If you do have plans on beating up the system or simply with those codes then you are really just that similarly taking up some suicide. Why? there's no way on beating up the system on which we know that house do always win at the end and there's no way that you could really able to take up some advantage and just on any other luck based games on which there's no way that you could really be able to beat up something like this and this is why it would really be that important that you should really be that realistically thinking that you should really be doing gambling for the sake of fun and not making yourself that desperate on being a winner.
People do usually mess up their lives on the time or moment that they will really be having those wishful thinking that they could win up big so easily without even trying out to realize that everything would really be basing on the odds or chance for you to deal on with. Skill based games on which of course you would be having that kind of advantage which it will really be basing up into the experience and knowledge you do know
on a particular sport. This is why it would really be that significant or basing up on what you are really that dealing into.

Talking about slot games on which this is something that will really be that pertains about pure luck thing. There's no way that you could really be able to have those kind of patterns or applying some strategies on the moment you do play on which this is really just that basically needing up to pull or press that roll lever or even going into those physical places on dealing with real slot machines.I dont really see any skills involved with this on which you could really be able to apply. Yes,  you could really be having those kind of behaviors on the way you do bet or play but never ever make yourself that being too positive or really that very
too hopeful that you could win up big with playing gambling, on the time that you would really be pursuing things then this is where you would really be making yourself having that kind of desperation.

There is a skill-less approach when it comes to playing slot games online. Intertops are based on random number generators (RNGs) to determine the outcome of each spin, so all outcomes can be considered separate and complete dice. It means that previous results are not indicative of future outcomes. With games like poker and blackjack, some strategies may be applicable to skillfully change the course of events in favor of a player though as for slots - no such luck. Their default payment structures and return-to-player (RTP) percentages are randomly arranged based on those parameters. While players can make informed choices, such as playing with higher RTP or playing with better payoff choices, these decisions do not change the basic fact that each spin is a game of chance for every slot player, and view the experience as entertainment rather than money , . It is wise to set a budget and stick to it

I was the one who created the topic and it was the response I saw in the WhatsApp that actually led me to create the thread - all the rough the time I’ve spent gambling on casino games I’ve never heard or seen anyone come out to claim that they had a good way to predict casino games (except some that got some info due to the system vulnerabilities) and coming across that info on a WhatsApp made me curious to see if others have heard of it or if it’s just complete bullshit and it turned out to be a bullshit.

And as others mentioned the testimonies were made up and not genuine - the owner created it so as to convince people to pay for the group and then eventually scamming them.

Slots are the easiest game among other gambling games, you only need to spin, determine the speed and buy free spins if needed, most people like slots because their luck is random and whoever is lucky at that time will definitely get the jackpot, but on the other hand, if you are not careful, you will lose money quickly and big losses, sometimes slots make their users get carried away by a very high curiosity in each round and this is what makes people interested in spending their time in slot games, many gamblers are trapped in situations like this and eventually become addicted.

There will always be a house edge in slots. Meaning to say, the probability of winning is always against you. So, in the long run, the statistics will prevail. That is why it is recommended to check the RTP first before choosing which particular slot game or site to play. The higher the RTP the better. At least you can make the most of your money and there's a higher chance of winning. But that doesn't mean you're more likely to win than not. No, the fact remains that you're likely to lose. Unless you're lucky of course.

If the slots are made to be fair 100%, for me, luck is the basis here and how the way you handle capital or some betting style.
I believe there's some house edge.
Some gambling platforms especially those that are not built to be fair, are not transparent, and I believe there are a lot of them scattered, they weren't built as fair to everyone and it will just steal your money over time.

People tend to have strategies and it might coincidentally work but if will fail much more often than work over time.  There really is no skill and it's luck of the draw who wins the big pots.  I guess you can say knowing when to stay amd when to leave is a skill but not specifically a skill to make you better at slots.

all in their control. those who can give victory to the game we play bet. if there are people who play slots get a big win before maybe lose big money or for beginners they will get their first luck. slots are very difficult to find loopholes to be able to win. because the server system that works they are free to control whether to lose or win. because I see many people waiting for luck from slots but instead they don't find a bright spot

Slot is completely luck base because no skill is required. Although some person pretend to be expert in it, claiming they have mastered it just to make themselves feel good or sometimes deceive gullible people. I read a post not too long about people creating whatsapp groups for signals in slot games and I couldn't help but laugh at how gullible some people can be, especially those who believed that something like that is possible. Anyone telling you that there is skill in slot game, that person should not be taken seriously.

They are completely based on luck and for most people this luck is way more black than the darkest night.Talk about volatility it does not mean anything for the single player as the volatility together with RTP is taken in consideration after a lot of spins have been made to a certain slot.The bonus features also mean nothing as they are a consequence to volatility and RTP,let me make you a personal example,from the slot I used to play Rabbit Garden from Pragmatic Play many times in the Buy Bonus feature which is available there I have got 0x when the cost of buying is x100,so that speaks a lot about luck and I go back to my first sentence of this very reply which for me says everything.The slots are a killer of anybody balance and are never a recommended game to play,they are also the best profit maker to any casino and that also says a lot about them.

I wouldn't because I don't think sports betting is for everyone. Gambling games are different, they don't require a person to have any knowledge or experience or anything to play and maybe win some money sometimes, whereas, in sports betting, a person having no sports knowledge can do nothing. You can't go all guns blazing in trying to earn some money from sports betting when you are not a sports type of person and have never followed or watched sports that much.

There are a lot of gamblers who play casino games but have no interest in sports, such gamblers wouldn't be able to make any money if they venture into sports betting, so for such gamblers, I would say they better stick with what they are good at instead of wasting their money.

Sports betting is for people who love sports and have a lot of knowledge about them.
