I agree these slot games have many rules and hard to understand, but these rules are made to make the game more interesting and unique, hence they add certain rules through which you can play the game. At many site along with the instructions, they have a video display demonstrating the slot game, if you follow that then you can understand the game more easily. But still if you don’t want to take risk for your hard earned money, then it’s better to avoid slot games.
Maybe some, or most slots have lots of rules but those are only about getting a win. And at the end, all slot games are still being played the same. And that is through the push of a button. That is pretty simple. In fact, you don't need to take note of those rules but just play your heart out and if you are lucky, the wins will just come out naturally. If not, then that simply means you are unlucky. Apart from that video which shows a demo on how the game is played, there is also gambling streamers who can show us the same thing and more. All gambling games has a risk, so yeah. If we are afraid to lose then much better to avoid all of them. We can play small amounts but that can still be the start of something big later on.

Here is a thought: A lot of, if not most casinos allow players to test out games without gambling real money. Those games are exactly the same (I would think) as the real games in which you bet with actual money. So technically, could you not figure out the odds and the mechanisms on your own, based off of testing those games? I think you could.

Also many of those games are based off of templates which already are known. Some of them even open source. That is another way you could delve deeper into it.

Or perhaps you could contact the game providers themselves and ask for information on their games. I think there is a lot you can do to understand slots.

I'm very rarely even almost  only  try a few times to play slot, but I find it hard to find luck there, maybe because of a lack of knowledge.
I prefer and often play dice and high low, it's easier and has a bigger chance of winning in my opinion, depending on how we set the amount of bets and set the winning presentation.

Slots are very very easy to understand.People who find them difficult are people who rush to start playing without clicking on the Information menu which in most of the well known providers give you a deep description of the slot machine you are about to play.Another way is to keep buying the feature in slot providers which offer this feature as by playing the bonus feature you learn the game mechanics.Overall slots are easy you only have to read the info in the beginning.
The description is indeed easy to understand. What players don't understand is how hard it is to win in slots. Most likely if you are not lucky in this kind of game, whatever understanding you do and reading on the description of slots, you won't understand it because your focus is on playing.
Slots are very easy to play, however they are rather obscure on the specific odds you are given and this is because there are simply too many different models and variations of this game, as a comparison lets look at blackjack, which has some variations but the number should not be above a few dozens, while when it comes to slots there are probably thousands of variations, so it is not surprising that many gamblers do not really know what is going on, even when they have played the same slot variation for a long time.

Can the information provided give you luck in winning?
This is not about learning or understanding how the slot machine system works but about playing and being able to win.
The reason is that winning in slot games is quite complicated and difficult because only luck can really give you win, which is why many people think slots are game of luck.
On the other hand, I also don't agree with what @terciduk123 said, that it is difficult for him to get lucky, perhaps because of lack of knowledge and in reality it is not possible but knowledge is not needed in slot games.
There is no strategy or method of knowledge that can guarantee winning slots.

Maybe what you mean is that buying the bonus buy feature can increase your chances of luck or victory, and that true, it just requires more money because the bet for buying bonus is 100 times the normal spin bet.
And of course winning when buying a bonus cannot be guaranteed, whether you can immediately win on the first or second or even third purchase and so on.
It better to play with normal spins and wait for the scatter to come, that way you can save more money too.

That's good for you because you don't have to lose any more money. And it's better if you don't gamble too often if you find a gambling game that you like. And it seems that you like dice games but it also depends on luck if you want to win. Actually, slot games are the same as dice because you only need to set the bet size and press the button. And if later you are interested in playing slots, you have to be really careful because many people have become addicted to gambling because of this slot game, especially as we know there are lots of slot game providers. It can make someone forget to stop. And slot games are not difficult and are even very easy to play.

However with slots, you never know your win chance. You don't know what increasing your wager or coins does to winning chances and it's generally all so opaque.

Instead of winning chances there's terms like volatility and RTP,  which make little sense unless to the individual gambler. Honestly dice was complicated enough, slots are just too much. Makes me think that it could be on purpose. Players of slots seem to be unlikely to look into these details due to how complicated it is.

Has that been your experience too?

Of course they are!

At the end of the day, the more ignorant a player is to learning how to play the game, and the more confused they are, the more likely they are going to keep on playing and waiting for a "win"...Why?..because they don't really know the odds of when they will actually win, and how much more they are losing in comparison to winning.

This is why they make so many games, with so many different rules and parameters. If it was as easy as "Hey there, come and play this game where you are expected to lose 5, 10 or even 20% per $100 that you wager"...then no one would play!

With the information that casinos provide on their slot games, I find it less complicated because you'll eventually learn those words, and a couple of those terms could help you understand casino games as a whole. For me, they've become easy to learn because there are so many different types of slots, and even though some of them are slightly different, they still have the same overall concept. Back then, i'd say slot games were probably complicated because you couldn't easily find this information within the casinos and you had to search for it on a different website.

Well, it's the gamblers due diligence to do their research so that they can understand how the games work. Although it's so much better now that everything is accessible. The information gamblers need are readily available at their disposal because sometimes it's even included in gambling website. And if it's not, one click and you can instantly see the search outcomes in the Internet.

Slot games aren't build to be complex. I think it's the opposite actually. They are luck based games that do not need much thinking before playing so it's pretty much straightforward. If you want to play, you just have to stake something and of course, hope for the odds to be in favor to you. Learning the jargons in gambling will be easy as you go along your journey. Everything can be learned afterall.

Slots is quite complicated compared to dice but it's more fun. However, both has a house edge so don't expect gambling it long term as we will never win.

With the growing gambling industry, more games are being introduce but slots is an old game and until now it's still existing. That could only mean that people are loving it and it's not hard to learn if you are interested with playing the game, but always be realistic with your chances as slots are here to entertain us, not a charitable institution to produce money for us.

When we say entertain us, that means we pay to be entertained.
Slots are a very old game and since they still exist today then we can infer they are really popular, and even if I do not particularly like slots it seems I am a minority as if you take the time to look at a psychical casino or an online one you will quickly realize that most of the games being offered are a variation of a slot game, so it is no surprising gamblers think of them as being too complex as each one of the them could be played differently and offer different odds.
They are popular because it's a very easy game to play. Yes, it's very old but once it was created, every gambler has fallen in love for it. And that it evolves in the last 20 years or so, many popular theme game slots are here, even those Hollywood movies, have theme slots as well.

It's not that complex, just the simply multiplier and then you press and roll and see how it goes for you.

However, it's based on pure luck, and probably this is the reason why many gamblers really fall for it as we want to test ourselves if we have the lucky touch and then have a chance to win big and chance our life.

Gambling is based on luck but you can somehow predict the odds while playing certain games like the dice game. But that is not the case when it comes to games like slot games. One push or click, that's it. everything else depends on the machine's mechanism or the way it is built. You can do nothing about it. I have tried playing some in the past and it's just way too complicated for me. You win with some combination and there are a lot of them. Remembering them is hard.
But as you have no control over it, why bother remembering that in the first place? I just let the machine decide what will happen. It's just boring to me.

Volatility and RTP is the term use in all gambling games even on Dice games. It’s just most common term on slot games because the game itself is not an open source unlike Dice game and other games which you can compute manually the RTP and Volatility depending on your bet.

Slot is different because the result is random using RNG so it’s customary for the provider to provide RTP and Volatility info to give players an idea about the game they are playing.

Don't even try, I have spend a lot of time to try and understand how slots really work but nothing came up, its on the game provider to get lucky more often or never, some game providers are so bad that it can make you literally gave up on Slots in general, this is why I will advice anyone to switch game providers when they are into slots.

The best advice I can also give is to limit your spending on gambling, you can't ever outsmart the casino, all you need to do is to keep limiting your risks, you can't say when you will win so you need to keep gambling till you win, imagine how this even sounds, all the advantage you have is the numbers of time you can keep playing with smallest amount as possible.

Many gamblers hate Slots because of the lack of transparency the game has, unlike poker and dice which I think people still prefer more than Slots gambling.

Has that been your experience too?
Slot games are the easiest to play and players rarely go into detail to find out every possible opportunity to increase their winnings chance because it seems like it's never existed.
I just watched a video where one slot player said that he was a slot player at an offline casino earning money from these games and gave his strategy, I don't know if what he said is true because I'm not interested in seeing his video further because sometimes it's just a false claim or maybe the results won't be the same between offline casinos with online casinos.
I'm one of those who doesn't care about all the details in slots because for me it's quite difficult to understand and also won't increase my chances of winning because this is a game of pure luck.
That's true, slots are simplest to play they don't require any stress like the way one would check on the stats between two teams that are playing on a soccer match or a game of basketball or any other sport betting games. As for slots, you just have to play and no need to stress yourself  as even understanding or trying to understand it, is really confusing, the only major thing that one needs to consider is the luck factor which is all in these games of slot.

If anyone has gotten used to gambling through crypto casinos, it's likely that they've become accustomed to games like dice. With dice everything is crystal clear: You know your winning odds and how much you are going to win if you roll within your target.
However with slots, you never know your win chance. You don't know what increasing your wager or coins does to winning chances and it's generally all so opaque.

Instead of winning chances there's terms like volatility and RTP,  which make little sense unless to the individual gambler. Honestly dice was complicated enough, slots are just too much. Makes me think that it could be on purpose. Players of slots seem to be unlikely to look into these details due to how complicated it is.

Has that been your experience too?
With dice you know your winning odds, that's true but you are not lost in vein when you play slots too. Every slot has built-in information, there is an icon that you click on and informational page popups where you can see a piece of detailed information about the slot that includes rewards for different lines, different combinations, bonuses, jackpots and free spins. Many casinos also gives you option to play slots with play money.
I think that slots are more visually impressive with many different options to win and this makes them very attractive for me. Dice is straightforward. To be fair, I like a crash game, the original game of Bustabit.

Slots for me is where I had wasted my money when I first came into online casinos compared to dice games. That was the reason why I switched on to sportsbetting. I haven't had so much luck with slots. It is too easy to play slots games but the odds of winning is pretty low.

There are even those who conclude that the winnings obtained from slot games are regulated by the system so that the majority of those who place more bets lose money because the percentage of winnings that will be given each day is only small. It could be that this is done so that the site remains afloat so that the profits obtained from the site are much greater and only a small amount of winnings will be given to the players.
We will not know whether the system has regulated the slot game, so many gamblers lose their money playing slots. Surely they will be increasingly interested in playing slot games because these slot games provide the possibility of getting big multipliers and that has already happened to several gamblers. But most gamblers can only get big multipliers and experience more and more losses if they have self-control. That's why this slot game requires luck to be able to win by getting a big multiplier and if we don't have luck, we won't be able to win at all. We will only experience losses that will get bigger if we continue playing the slot immediately.

Dice and slot games are not much different because the systems both use machines to place bets on the game itself. In my opinion, it is very difficult to win, because in the system against the machine the dealer will determine when you will win and when you will lose continuously. So you have to really understand the situation to win the bet you place. I don't like gambling games between dice and slots, I prefer playing poker or similar games where you play with other players using your own mind to win bets, not with machines. Because that way you will definitely know whether you will win or lose.
