Topic: Are slots hard to understand on purpose? (Read 519 times)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's incorrect to think if the winnings in slots was controlled by the system, it's not programmed to work like that. But it's correct people who place more bets lose money since slots has an odds, so you will lose as the house has a higher chance to win than the gambler.

If the gambler can only win less than the casino's bankroll, casino would never ever bankrupt, but the reality there were some casinos closed due to lack of bankroll.

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.

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 one of the techniques of pro slot players, they are relying on historical patterns and use them as their basis of setting a bet and with that, they experienced majority of winnings but I can say that it's kind of luck or it's just a coincidence. Just like you who are unfortunate to win when it comes to slot games, I find it difficult to win too even it doesn't requires skills.

You are right because slot games do not require any skills but they may require skills to manage their money. Slot games can make gamblers forget to stop, so self-control and money management are also very important to have.
Gamblers only leave their winnings to luck so they always hope to win, while gamblers who play skill-based gambling games try to improve their skills so they can have a chance of winning.
If gamblers can manage the use of their money, they will not lose large amounts of money and can limit their gambling. But most slot gamblers need to think about this and will deposit more money if they lose.
And that's what makes many gamblers end up addicted to gambling because they lose control of themselves and can't manage their money well.

I have several friends who are quite good at playing slots in my opinion. The pattern that I see when they play is memorizing the image pattern, that way they have confidence that there will be some kind of historical sequence of the pattern.

Indeed, to me this doesn't make sense, because it is very difficult to break down the many image patterns in slot gambling. But my friends were successful and had a winning rate above 50%. I've tried doing it but it makes my head spin.

Fortunately, slots are quite fun because they are quite easy to play even for lay people, because you just have to place a bet and spin. Because currently the majority of slots are ones that are quite popular and are played by many users.

that's why casinos don't haave clocks because people realize they killed so many hours sitting on a slot machine. 
but in online casinos, i still play these slots sometimes. it's still fun and though i visit stake often to bet on sports, gambling games still is attractive because of the unpredictable rewards.

i think casinos already studied human behavior and how we react to the rewards on slot. not just casinos but tech companies like Microsoft or Facebook already have their study of human behavior about casinos that's why in traditional casinos, it's the slot that is the first we see upon entering.

In my opinion, in games of chance where the person to win depends on luck, the person does not need to read a lot of information that is not related to the rules of the game, this is because it doesn't matter what the person reads, at the end of the day what matters will be whether that person will be lucky to win or not. In games of chance that depend on luck, the person does not create a strategy, it does not exist. The person doesn't analyze the game, and it's useless. The person just puts money in and clicks on start and waits to see if they will be lucky enough to win, that's all. That's why I don't like and don't play gambling games that depend on luck for a person to win. I remember when I decided to try gambling games that depend on luck for the person to win

I started with plinko, I didn't research anything about what rtp means, I just deposited money and started playing, I spent 2 hours playing and I had already made 3x of my money that I had deposited, but to my dismay I started to have sequences of defeats, I couldn't believe that the money in my account kept falling, there were sections of consecutive losses and even if I got it right once, then lost 4 to 5 times in a row, 5 hours had already passed since I was playing, normally I only play 1 hour a week when I bet on sports, but that day I had already played 5 hours, that's when I decided to stop and told myself that I no longer play gambling games that depend on luck

Playing slots is easy and the results are instant, which makes gamblers continue playing for quick wins. But, slot takes up the most money in gambling, due to the multiple times of plays by each gambler. Regardless, any amount the player stakes, he'll spend much money in gambling, but the $1 limit is quite better. Reducing it further helps players who would spin multiple times a day. Hence, they won't spend much money. It's also a nice strategy for winning in the slot. As the player can be opportune to win sometimes. Slot is still the most played game, if I'm not mistaken. Because on the scoreboard or chat forums, many players have tried playing slot games. It's almost like any form of gambling, we win or lose. But, OP's complaint isn't wrong, as the possibility of predicting right in slot games is quite very low. It's crucial to stop when the losses are too many. In good casinos with a better house edge, gamblers also win significant amounts of money through slots. Hence, players should also take advantage of crosschecking the house edge of every casino before playing slots with them. As some houses don't provide any at all in the slot. And it's the reason most people think slot games are quite too difficult. Imagine playing all the time with no single win. When experiencing Zero return to play, checking up on other casinos is the right decision to take.

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.

Not only about how easy to use the slot games but rather the max profit it can offer even for a small bet since some slot games can give x100K or more depending on the volatility which you can’t get on any type of game other than slot games.

This jackpot prize using small of money makes the slot the most popular game of all time since most of the gambler wants quick profit and at the same time an easy game to play.

probably yes, it is certainly a "confusing" or somewhat "foggy" type of game because it could make the explanations for paying combinations much simpler but they are complicated by default!
is it important for gameplay? I think yes, because in that way the gambler continue to play...
Probably will change, I am not surprise of slot games more similar to "pachinko"

This was the reason for many gamblers play the slot and dice game as compared to poker or blackjack games.The poker game need of the skills to make the show,but the slot games was based on the luck.If the gambler had the good luck,it’s enough to make money using the slot games.The money for the each games in the slot game should not overtake the one dollar value.So the risk to the game will not high value,the gambler also can recover the money in the few slots.Due to the less difficulty of playing,slot was the most played game in the gambling site.The gambler who play slot,dice game will wager more dollars compared to the other gamblers.

Because in the end it's not about rhythm or math calculations that have to be done correctly when talking about slots luck is the main factor in victory so there is no need to feel dizzy or indeed think about RTP in probability because in the end even though the RTP shown is quite bad but when playing and we are lucky then we can also benefit from it.
I think it's very important to know things like this because after all, slots are not a game that we have to research because we have to realize that this is a game for fun with luck based in it.

Playing slots is not difficult to play. You have to decide which slot game you want to play, then determine the amount of money and press the button. There is nothing difficult in playing slots.
It's better not to worry about volatility and RTP if you don't really understand them. And because this slot game requires luck, you can't always hope to win it.
Only lucky people can win. You can play slot games when you are free, but you have to limit the amount of money and time because these slot games can make you forget to stop playing slots.
If you have experienced a significant loss, you should immediately stop gambling so that you will experience even more losses.

What do you mean by that? If you're talking about the gameplay I don't think it's that hard to understand because there are guides on what's the winning combinations and the tutorials for the slots aren't that complicated but if you're talking about the internal mechanisms of slots then yes, that's how they should be designed so an average Joe doesn't have the ability to just understand how the mechanism works and exploit it, same with the online slots, they obfuscate the code so you don't have any idea how it works and I think that it's a beautiful thing that slots are like this in terms of mechanisms because that means there's passion and care put into creating them atleast for the physical ones.

The slots are not that difficult to understand, what has to be reviewed is that they can have the associated RTP so that the possibilities of jgur and gnar can be seen, it is not difficult, the difficult thing is to understand that an eprosna You can spend a long time playing on slots and not win anything, just like any new person can make a bet out of pure luck and suddenly have a lot of money, that's what we should see that it can be done but we have no choice, always Many things must be taken in context, firstly when we are playing the slots, I have my favorites, which are the pragmatic ones, there I feel that I can win more than any other style, there is also something else, whenever I play I see that for Some people spend a lot of money, I don't play for more than 20usd and I'm happy with that, now, if I have for example 100usd willing to spend I divide it to play 5 days, and in one of those with less, with 10usd I always play, and one day in a game session I was very lucky I managed to reach more than 1000usd , the bad thing is that I didn't do it at a Casino that time Because then it became a scam.

That was painful, because I didn't enjoy that profit, so the complicated thing about slot machines is that if you don't know their system well, you can lose a lot of money, because they are designed to give a lot of money to the casino, but also if you make the correct placement in the At the right time you can win a lot of money, I have only seen that some stake players show their big profits, it is something that every person encourages, but of course, the strategies are different and sometimes apply to certain games, in this order of Well, we are players who must be intelligent, review every thing, every detail of the slot, and see if we can win in a game Session, only by Playing with little money can we get a great experience , we just have to know how to do it.

Slot is so easy to understand that even a person who is drunk and has his cognitive functions impaired by the alcohol doesn't need them to be able to play slots. You do not need any form of specialized training that would last for several weeks to be able to play it. If you ask most gamblers what their first casino game was, they will most likely point to slot because of how it is. I would say that where it is difficult to understand are on when they are on casino websites with poor user interface that makes navigating through their webpage difficult and uninteresting. This is the only thing that I can point towards and say, it is what makes it difficult to understand.

you mean the unpredictable rewards. yes you could win just $2 and still win and you could even win a life-changing reward. it's why the slot is more addicting than any other game. this is why slots are everywhere even in gasoline stations.

the funny part is that when you bet $1 and then you win $0.50, you still think you win. 

but it's the repeating task that drives you to keep on playing. let's say within a minute, you could hope to win 20 times. that's gonna drive an addict's dope.

 

There is a non-tangible or measurable variable in slots that is "intuition", be carefule, it will bother/loss (money) to you balance, without a doubt, but in my case with certain providers one can intuit that the x1000 is coming.

Now this type of "intuition" It is very dangerous, it is in the limits for someone to lose control, which is not something you to do, so that they do not break your "balls" simply set restrictions on spins or time, or losses, even profits, "tomorrow" is always a nice day to continue the game section.

Now in verifiable variables,  and depending on the casino or the provider, you can know info/data on it slot. Ok, with that data there is always a doubt they correspond to your section of play or the casino, but regardless of this, following a pre-established plan is better than thinking about whether my multiplier is already coming or if the RTP is being met, or those ideas that you come up with OP, it's a slot, it just spins. 

It's true, lately people are more involved in slot betting than some other types of gambling, the number of audiences who join is none other than because of the promotions carried out by large casinos, their interest increases when they know that this type of gambling is very easy to access wherever and whenever you want. But on the other hand I think this type of gambling is the most difficult to win because the algorithm applied is completely random and difficult to solve even if you have some best way that you think is good, I've tried it and it's useless. I think one of the reasons casinos are making bigger promotions on slot betting by making it easier to reach and easier to understand the games that are there is because it's hard to win there so it increases the income of the casino itself and not everyone realizes the difficulty of the randomness that is there.

Yes they just play and continue to play without knowing how to win, nothing more they are like pitting their luck with luck based on high hopes, for the problem of RTP machines I see some of them have no effect at all, I have proven when the RTP percentage is high but the game goes very badly, but maybe there are also some sites that provide accurate RTP.

It seems yes and slots are very popular at the moment because they are promoted everywhere so maybe many gamblers have switched to playing the game because it is very easy to play. I'm even sure that minors can play it. Just bet every spin waiting for the jackpot to be won. The different thing is that Dice games may seem a little old-fashioned so there are several games that are similar to dice that use the same system to regulate the chances of winning, but slots are still very popular.

As you know, not all slot users understand complicated details such as RTP and others, most slot gamblers always focus on playing and waiting for the jackpot without having to see how they win it. With a little knowledge of volatility and RTP, every intelligent slot gambler will usually learn from every loss but a loser won't want to understand it, they just keep playing, wasting their money.

Because slots were designed to make the player either not earn anything or make you earn a lot money if you can get huge multipliers. If slots are hard to understand, they need to play crash, it's not same but can give you an idea if there's a probability you can get a lot money than you think.

If it is easy to understand and easy to win then it is not gambling game but charity game, little joke and return to the main discussion.

Slots are games that have all been arranged and designed by the game provider in such a way that it is more difficult for gamblers to win but can also remain curious to keep playing at all times.
Slots have fractional table that has random algorithm and no gambler can guess the algorithm correctly.
This is intended because they created slot games as place to do business and we as gamblers come to play for fun and pay for each round by hoping that luck will come to win in exchange for the payments we have made in each round.

If you differentiate dice from slots, of course there is quite a significant difference in terms of chances of winning.
Of course every gambler will feel that slots are game that really relies on luck and the opportunity to win feels blurry or not visible at all.

If you have a lot of time, you should make sure that you have a good idea of what you are getting into. Unlike other types of gambling that rely heavily on the skills and knowledge we have. Slot gambling is far from that, this gambling only relies on luck. So it is very difficult for us to increase the possibility of getting a big win.

In doing slot gambling, I really don't believe that in this type of game there are tricks and patterns to win the game. Because obviously this is machine gambling, where the machine has been arranged in such a way as to be able to provide benefits to the owner, not to the players.
So for slot gamblers who spend time learning special tricks and patterns to win this type of gambling, I say it's useless and a waste of time.

There is nothing complicated about slots, it's just that the nature of the two games is different, one is a bit easier to understand and play, the other one is a bit complicated and there can also be restrictions about the base bet in slots game because some of them might allow you to start gambling with a lower amount but some might not do that and you will have to start gambling with a higher base bet than you usually use when you are gambling.

Terms like RTP, RNG, and volatility are not that difficult to understand if a person does simple research about them, they can easily understand what these terms stand for, what their purpose is in the slots machines, and how they are useful and important for the gamblers that chose to gamble more in slots than other games.

I admit that winning slot games is very difficult because luck must come to give us the chance to win. Most people lose when playing slot games, but that doesn't make them stop they continue playing this slot game. Moreover, there are many interesting slot providers to play, making people even more curious about getting big multipliers, which means big wins. Compared to dice games, I like slot games because I can play lots of slot games from various slot providers. And it's the possibility of winning from each slot game that keeps us coming back and trying to get lucky. Meanwhile, no one knows when we can win from slot games, and that's why we keep trying from day to day.

You can check the info on every slot you play. It shows what the paylines are, what it takes to hit a bonus, and how much a winning combo pays in accordance with your bet size. I'm not sure what is confusing?

If you are not into numbers, slots will be hard to understand but if you are curious about the probability to win and its fairness, then you can look into those numbers.

In real life, slots player are just there to play the game and understand some rules of the game, slots are the easiest game you can play because you just need to spin/bet and the machine will do the rest for you.

While on a contrary, to me i don't see slot game as a difficult game to understand, as long as it's all about being lucky for one to win it, someone without experience may also make his way forward in giving a try and win, that may be his own personal opportunity, going further to study the way it's been played, the lights, pictures and other menu drop boxs that may constitute other required or vital features to learn and understand their use may not be that necessary for a start than when we just try out our best of luck in it.

I’m also thinking if all the gamblers understand this first before playing slots because personally I don’t and all I know is to click the spin and let the system works for me, we all know how slots works and winning will always depend on your luck. Just enjoy the slots from a good game provider on a good site, I’m sure the probability to win are much higher and you don’t have to think about the RTP or volatility, its a play and go for a purpose.

One thing I've always known and believed is that all games are not designed the same way, they are not designed to function or operate same way.
A dice game is a dice game, while a slot game is a slot game, and lets not do away with the fact that, dice games are built, designed and managed by the casino themselves respectively speaking, while slot games are built, designed and managed by third party game providers, casinos only integrate slot games into their system, and as such, there may be some data that may likely not be made available to the player like win chances and all that, just like they are available when playing in-house games like dice, Hi-Lo and others.

This is just my assumptions though, I may be wrong after all.

I don't really bother with the various rules on slots, because all I think about is playing and getting the jackpot and that's all. There's no need to be too confused about thinking about volatility, RTP or whatever in slots because that's how the designers designed the game, of course they have their own goals for designing slot games with these features, maybe it's to make it more interesting, challenging and sustainable, but in general the outline is accessible and easy for everyone to play.

There is nothing complicated about slots... we spin them with the hope of getting the bonus round, and when we hit the bonus, we hope we will be lucky enough to score some big payout. If we have a nice balance, we can even consider bonus buying, which is a nice way to skip that chase for the bonus, but it comes with a higher risk of losing more money pretty quickly, but at the same time, we get a chance to score something big.

Slots are interesting to play, there are so many different slots with different graphics and features. But they are risky as hell because of the high volatility, so it's not recommended to play slots if you can't afford to lose that balance. You don't have to bust your balance like many of us did so many times before you figure that out! Good luck...

People are more comfortable with slot even though its somewhat old fashioned. At least its something that's understandable and they can deal with.

Most times, when complex things exist for too long it becomes easy. It doesn't give up its trait of complexity but people coin ways to ease it by looking for receptors to accommodate it

From the start I don't really understand slots but sometimes I try to get into it to see if I can understand a little about it, but it seems that the more I try the more I get confused.
I am a football lover, not because it is very easy to predict but because it fun too (like the kind of fun you will have if you and your partner or any sport lover watches football together).
Because I don't understand slots, I normally lose almost every of my stake on slots.

Ahh this is interesting- this is what I also noticed with slots with all the confusing symbols and images.

Every time you attempt to play slots, it will roll on a certain number of slots and images then you would see different combinations with the respective value that you have won. Yeah I agree, it is confusing to know if you have won or not but the game automatically tells you that you've won "xxx" amount of money from the combination that was garnered.

I agree with the replies here- you should not understand it to begin with. You just roll and play until you see a desired result. Besides, you cannot control the odds as everything is randomized to begin with.

I agree with you, I also don't consider RTP as a race in gambling slots. for me, the RTP that is on each slot site does not guarantee that each spin will be good or guarantee easy wins, it doesn't have any effect at all.

But there are indeed people who gamble slots by using RTP as a race from gambling, they think that slot games that have a large percentage of RTP are good, he said. but I see that in the end they get defeat too, not victory. basically all slot gambling in my opinion cannot be separated from luck that takes sides. in my opinion even if the game has a high percentage value of RTP if they are not lucky, it's the same as they won't get a win. also RTP which has a high percentage value does not rule out the possibility that gamblers who play will lose. because the victory they get is based on luck.

Their are other games in the crypto casino like High-Low which was based on the prediction of the cards and it’s was similar to the dice algorithms.If you have the capacity to predict the cards correctly,the possibilities of winning will be more.But again it’s based on the probability,So even you can loss the entire money,if you play on the random bet.Sometimes I made the good profit and sometimes I loss all of my deposits.So predicting the cards give us the thrill of finding the correct options.If you have luck and good predictions techniques,you can get the multiple of 12.5x of the betting money.If you wrongly predict many times,it may leads to big losses.

This is crucial to gambling, especially slots. Slots can be trickier than dice. It may be intentional. Slots may intentionally have unclear odds and misleading phrases like RTP and volatility. A lack of clarity might make it hard for players to make judgments, resulting to additional expenditure. It may help casinos but presents ethical concerns.

Ask yourself: Shouldnt all casino games be transparent? After all, players ought to know what they're getting into. Understanding slots can be difficult, but it may also encourage gambling. Adding confusion to a simple game is a real deal. The players must stay informed and the casinos must promote transparency.

You have perfectly described the question that I have been thinking about for weeks: but instead of dice, I compared slots with red-black in my head. The odds in the slots are unclear. Yesterday I scrolled through them 6 times and got absolutely nothing... I don't understand what chance I had to win and how many - the fields in the slots are spinning, something is glowing, but what's the point?
 
Recently, there was a tournament from FortunJack here on the forum in which the guys measured multipliers, who got more. Some had a coefficient of 31 for a deposit of $150. One guy got a multiplier of 170! But how much had he played before that?

I realized one thing for myself - the slots will rob me. It's better to play something else.

My experience with slots is the same experience with playing golf. I play slots for entertainment, as a hobby. When I go to an onsite casino, it is just another hobby, I go with friends and have drinks and have a good time, and sometimes we do win. I do understand volatility and RTP to an extent but I do not pressure myself into understanding its internal workings. The thing with slots is that once you hit the wheel, the outcome is already determined and so I do not bother with trying to beat it, if there is anything like that. It is just a hobby, you play today, you win. You play tomorrow you lose.

Dice and slot games are both difficult to win because they are related to one's luck. If someone is lucky, he can win the game, and vice versa. He will lose if he isn't lucky. Actually, gambling games cannot be won easily and we have to take risks by risking our money in order to win, but we will experience losses, which may increase if we cannot control ourselves. But slot games are very interesting to play because I also feel that way after playing slots for a while. Moreover, there are a lot of slot providers and they have lots of slot games so we can choose the slot game we want.

I never think about RTP or anything else because just playing normally is difficult, let alone choosing a slot game that has a high or low RTP. So in this case, I prefer the slot game that I want after looking at the list of existing slot games, especially for the slot games that have just been added to the casino.

Yes, in slot games we won't really know what's going on. it is like a gift that the operator gives to certain gamblers. This time you can get big wins in a short game. even with the smallest bets. but sometimes in a short time, our capital is used up without any wins.
slots are not for gamblers who hope to win. it only pays for fun games. just that.

There is a level of obfuscation taking place without a doubt, however taking into account how popular slots are and how most of those that play them do not mention anything against this, I tend to think this is not an attempt by casinos to hide the truth, what we see instead is that gamblers that prefer slots do not care about that information at all, as such it makes sense that when you compare it to a game that is crystal clear about the odds you are taking and the profits you could make, slot machines may seem to be too cluttered with useless information.

With the many rules applied in slot games, it will certainly be a challenge for those who like the game, but with the unique appearance of the slot game and it is also very easy to understand, it makes this game difficult to win, there are even some people who like it a lot. experience defeat in slots but they still play the game because they are very confident of being able to get a big win in the game.
It would be better to avoid this game if the income we get comes from our hard work, but if we are familiar with it then it will be difficult to stop playing it again.

In the beginning though I don't know about anything on RTP and volatility of what the slot machine that I'm going to play. I just "believed" that the bigger my bet the better chance of me hitting the bonus play or good combination with wildcards and seeing the screen going on what we call "shower".

Sooner that I learn about what is the meaning of RTP. I still play slot games though, but not that much unlike before. I just pay them to have some fun and entertainment and I don't max bet anymore. Just maybe $100 or less in one machine and see how my luck goes and that's it.

The thing with slots is that they are hard to understand in depth. You can't be sure of the chances to win as they are not disclosed transparently for instance.

On the other hand it is indeed very easy to play as a game. You just bet and spin. Which is something you can keep doing forever so long as you have the money for it. Maybe that's kind of the trick they want to play on players though. Make it very easy and tempting to spin, while it is hard to understand how the game's mechanics work.

Right , because slot is really a game of thrill and surprises that is also the reason why there are so many people including those in their senior ages that agreed with me because those old people loves to feel the thrill once again and yes they have found this in slot betting.
if you are going to Physical casinos , we can find many seniors in slot than in other table meaning they loved playing this thrill game.
actually what OP's wanted to point mate is that Slot hide us how it works to define the winner ,
comparing to other games like Dice that there is a physical item that rotating , and in roulette that there is a wheel in which we can completely see the result transparently and same as card games that we can see the numbers in the card itself , but in slot? yeah  it is just the machine that determine the winning combinations .

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.

I can say you are a connoisseur. Gambling will be very fun if we really enjoy it regardless of winning or losing. But what makes you curious is why slot games feel more fun if played directly on a slot machine compared to online, right? and the chances of winning are also greater. Is this just my feeling? 😅

Its not difficult to understand slot games and its all just about random numbers and how much luck there is but somehow many people take this slot game too seriously while slots are provided to provide fun without having to understand deeply how to win etc. for me, RTP does not affect anything because RTP sometimes does not work as we think, in fact I once only got maxwin in just 1x spin.

and related to comparing dice and slot games, both of them are equally complicated because they depend on luck and how difficult the opportunity you choose is and what is certain is that both of these games use random numbers which we dont need to think about deeply as long as we want to play, just do it if we are lucky we will get big wins after few spins.

For me, if the game is very hard to understand, I will just push the button and bet it. Just simple like that. I ever learn the game to understand it and want to know how many chances I have. But, that makes a headache. Gambling is just my hobby, just to relax without thinking hard about how to win the game. So if I got the hard job on main daily, I would sit on a chair and bet the slot, I just push the button and look spinning board on a monitor. actually, that makes me relax and release all work burdens. If I think the chance to get win, which means it will only increase my work, not relaxing my life.

Gamblers are mostly risk taker  and challenges they love finding something that will make them interested and that is how Slot gives its bettor , the thrill and the risk combination makes it very flattering when they won and same feeling with me when I start betting in slot.
aside from this is a game that is too easy to use, just put your bet and then starts to roll , simplest gambling for me that same reason why there are so many addiction happening inside slot gaming.

but your Points are valid , we cannot even see how it goes to bring the winning combination not like in Dice and Roulette that the outcome is in front of us that we can literally see the winning.

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.

Depends on each player, I myself as a slot player always look into RTP and Volatility of the slot before I played the game. It is important thing to know (at least for myself) because it is related to which game is the best to play based on the RTP and volatility. Even though it is not a guarantee that it will give a better result but at least playing games with higher RTP is better if I started with small amount and lower RTP + high-extreme volatility is good to be played when I have more funds to play or when I want to hunt big multiplier. It was complicated to understand when I knew about it for the 1st time, but experiences and learn (by reading) make it simple now.

I agree with you! Slots were made to gambling for fun as everyone consider it as their past time and you don't need to understand it or stressing yourself too much. Much better to play it with the amount that you afford to loose. Slots are of the addictive game in casino world because it is easy to use and it doesn't require any analysis and skills, just play it with fun while having a control on your finances and time to avoid financial bankruptcy.

I've long given up on trying to understand how the slot mechanics work sometimes, so I just turn off my brain and pull that lever. Granted I reckon most slots work the same under the hood, just with different values and percentages for the results so once you understand how one works, it's rather easy to understand the rest especially if you consider how jargon works all the same across all slots. I guess that's just how it goes with trying to innovate something to the max, a lot of complicated-sounding rules and whatnot come out.

Those skills are what is been required of a gambler to know regarding the house edge and calculating how it can yield them wins, it's very crucial. I think dice are also manipulated by the casino somehow. While I was reading about using Dice rolls to create a private key, they're cases where people could predict what the outcome of a die would be, maybe the fault could be from the manufacturers; unfair die. Somehow the casino can manipulate it, but people would argue it's not possible. However, the dice games are easier to win compared to slot games. But the required skills aren't going to give us more wins compared to the number of times we'd lose money playing slots. Players will always find it difficult to enjoy slot games unless they join a comp club. Then it'll be easier for them to benefit too much while playing slot. Slot games are better played offline, in casinos, where the player would be rewarded per points and given free hotel rooms, food or even show tickets. As for online players they just have to enjoy the game win or lose.

Things are just the same for dice and slot machines; luck is the bottomline of all outcomes likewise with roulettes. No strategy would also work in order to secure a win or at least lessen the risk of losing. RTPs and all are just another terms for "will i be winning or not". just falls between the two, in general. That's just its concept and its simplicity hooked up its players. Not all gamblers are into analysis and strategies and that's just fine. We do have our own preferences of the gambling games we would engage ourselves with. Those who thinks that slots are too complicated should just move to other games 'coz no one forced us to play in the first place.

And that's one of the reasons why more gamblers like slot games. Finding the unknown multi-win and the unpredictability of what will come out, although I don't really believe that. Even in Keno, I don't think there's such a thing as RNG (random number generator) because if that is the case then we could've seen a lot of winners of those 10 number picks.
Slots may have different images but most of them have the same type of system. Then, they must also change how the multi-win will come out. There are only a few slots that I hate the most but the others that I've tried are all good when it comes to RTP. Yes, sometimes they don't give back for a long time but that is because they will give out a high multi-win. I witnessed that a lot of times so those who have deep pockets will certainly have a better chance to win than those who will just try once or twice.

I think it isn’t a correct comparison since both types of gambling games compared are independent of each other. Of course, comparing two different games and accordingly deciding which game to prefer is an important thing for a gambler but I think it isn’t possible to reach a conclusion with such a comparison.

Gambling games come in many different varieties and each game has its own way of playing. Depending on this playing style, the effect of the luck factor, probability of winning and risk rate vary in each game. So, each game has some advantages and disadvantages.

For example, to continue with the current comparison as stated in slot games it isn’t clear what rate of profit will be obtained in the next spin but it also has advantages such as high winning potential and free spins. On the other hand, in the dice rolling game it is known how much profit can be obtained compared to the bet amount in case of a possible win but the profit rate doesn’t increase without increasing the risk rate.

You could make a case for that one actually, considering that most slot games nowadays got so many bells and whistles that it’s starting to become so confusing when slots were supposed to be just linear and super easy to understand and play—you turn a crank, you wait for your a pattern to come out, and then earn the corresponding prize based on how great the pattern is.

More prizes more problems I guess, but I bet it would be nicer if we got the same old type of slots back in the old days that are easier to understand and easier to play.

i can agree with you here, don't stress yourself too much about your chances in slots because no one can calculate such possibility. even if there is rtp available to see, it doesn't mean, you will know your chances. you don't. this is why it is luck-based game by all means.
as long as the casino is provable fair, and not playing dirty tricks, you are good to go. but trying to understand your chances, you are just giving yourself a headache.

It is easy to understand if you have time to read.The RTP is in a slot 96.50% the theoretical return to a player,this does not mean that if you deposit 100 dollars you will get 96.5 dollars back,no it does not work like that.The RTP is the total sum of all the spins made in the casino from all the players and out of all this sum the 96.5% is returned back to the players,this though is not in equal value,someone can get it all with a huge win and all other people can remain without getting anything,do not rely on RTP to win on slots,the only thing needed here is an insane amount of luck,only that  .

Slots are the fastest way to win or lose money!
However, they are the most fun and attractive in an online casino, both due to their diversity of options and their visual appeal.

Slots were not made to be understood, as each game variation has its own combinations and probabilities that change a lot from one to the other.

What you need to know is: Only play slots what you are really willing to lose, manage your resources well and don't waste too much time on them to avoid the risk of becoming addicted.

Slot has been more easier for some people to understand than some of her persons, and this is normal. Some game are naturally easier to some people to understand than some others. Slot is not for every gambler, to some gamblers this will be their interest, while to others the other games to gamble on will what will be of interest to them. If things are not like this, that is interest shared, some games will never be gambled on.

First the difference between slot game and dice is in the luck factors and that is why,  gamblers have higher chances with dice more than slot because with dice all that the gambler need to have a winning is the luck factor and in dice the house edge is truly minimal this is why its easy for the gambler to have higher chances of winning when playing dice more than he will have with slot.

Sometimes you need some level of skill to play slot game and that is why the house have a high impact and interest in the game unlike dice where all that is needed is just to roll the dice and hit the lucky number to make a winning.

I think inherently they are difficult to understand because there is so much going on.  It's on purpose the lights, pictures and all the different ways ypu can win are all to keep you engaged and have an entertaining time.  But yeah I'm with you I don't play them for that reason.  Sometimes when I thought I won nothing happened and vice versa

This is why slots is more interesting to play than dice.  I used to play dice but when I tried slots game, I have forgotten to play dice.


Why bother to think too much, when we can just enjoy the entertainment these gambling games gives.  There are explanation about volatility, and RTP of slots and they seems not hard to understand.  Just don't mixed it with the terms of other games and obviously we will get confused.

These features is purposely implemented to give players a different kind of gambling experience.  but if you look at it, it is the same as dice but with just an automatic adjustement of odds to win thus slots triggering different multiplier wins, unlike dice that have a linear odd result which can be adjusted manually.

Recently, there was a thread regarding slots, and quite a few other users felt that they weren't worth it. Personally, I agree with what you've stated, and I believe it's due to the nature of the game that doesn't leave you with much wiggle room. Certainly, that's in favor of the casinos and not the user, as you're not able to choose your odds nor do you have any options.

Slots are an old-fashioned game that was extremely popular in physical casinos. Their philosophy is pretty straightforward; you just pull down the lever (or click a button) and that's it. Personally, I don't think they're worth it, and I avoid them like a plague.

Gamblers fight directly with the house tooth and nail in slot games, with the odds mainly against the gambler. The more you gamble the more difficult it gets to win. That's why as a slot player you must limit the time spent, gambling, as the house edge could be a 2% winning possibility for the player. So, no need to feel bad about losing too much in the slot, or the complications involved in playing slot games. In the slot, the terminology, enjoy gambling erupts. Because if you are the type who doesn't enjoy playing slot, you'll go home very sad, due to multiple losses. I experience this a lot and battle it with playing smaller amounts. The casino can try to change my strategy by offering me wins, so that I'll wager more amount. That's where we slot players test the mansion of confidence in us, whether it's well built or just vulnerable and can be swept away by the tricks of the casino. Additionally, don't switch from one slot machine to another. Try to understand a specific slot machine or slot game. Unless you know the house edge placed on a slot game by the casino, don't place too many bets on that machine or game. Most house edge is half of one percent, you can read or research on how housing edge can be calculated. It'll help you have a clearer view of what amount to expect from the casino and how much they'll make off every single bet you stake on the slot machine. I think with this information, getting the house edge right, you won't bother about the complex nature of slot games and just enjoy the fun. Like you're playing some video games expecting to win money some days.

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?
