For some reason I hear you, this is almost like a trader who can't control his emotions. They will actually fall into the trap and lose a lot of their assets because of uncontrollable emotions. it's just that in slots it can really be 0. I don't think it's wrong to try a fairer casino. in my country slots are like cash games or ponzi. it will give an advantage to early adopters and then be set up for defeat at the end. but I don't have definitive proof yet. but I'm sure at least 90% of people who play slots longer always experience losses.

Not sure if those tips would actually help slots are a bit of luck.  Some of the worst odds in the casino but it's meant to be "fun".  If you don't have fun playing than slots is not for you.  I'd play a table game or a game like roulette with much better odds.

The slot game was based on the luck,but some gamblers play with the probability.The luck or tactics was based on the individual gamblers,because the gamblers using their own money to play the game.So the choice of luck or math was based on the gambler.

In my opinion, slot games are purely about luck, or I mean whoever it is, they will only be able to win when luck comes at the same time when you are in the session, that's why many people experience losses more often than wins in that type of game, and Also in my opinion overall, this slot game is more addictive than some other types of gambling, winning looks like it's easy even though in fact it is very difficult, therefore this type of gambling really should be used as a place of entertainment only when you really have free time, not only that but I think what is better is that you put the right mindset and understanding on all types of gambling.

Nothing more because all final results always depend on how lucky you are at that time, so of course you have to understand that gambling is nothing more than a game of probability which always cannot be predicted, especially for the final result, therefore I think gamblers cannot force their choices. , because it is clear that all gamblers definitely want to win no matter what, even though they come for the purpose of enjoyment, so you cannot say that gamblers can choose or force their choices because all expectations will not always match the facts.

There are some slots that doesn’t have Max Win, even if they promote a very big Jackpot and Max Win but the slot doesn’t actually have that. When I started playing slots it took me a while to understand how they all work, some slots are paying more but when you play for long term, some slots pay on short term only.
Let’s take for instance, Sweet Bonanza it’s a very known slot with high Maw Win but the truth is nobody ever have reached it before or even a very high multiplayer. And also doesn’t mean it’s not profitable sometimes.I personally won some good money with it, and also lost some days buying and losing bonuses. It’s a slot that offers buying a bonus session without going through much spins in order to chase a bonus that can take much time and of course, empty your pocket in the process.

My extra 5 cents advice, sticking to one or two slot that pays every session, if you keep switching, you won’t ever catch a bonus and you keep losing your money for nothing.

Many people will choose the poker and blackjack in the gambling site,because it was easy to earn.The slot games was based on the number and probability,if you are good at this two things.So you can do the slot games.Many people will play the slot games for the longer period.The reason behind this was the probability of the game was change in the short period,So the gamblers must alter their choices again and again.This alone help you to make the better results in the slot games at the end.

Poker is considered by other gamblers to be a game of intelligence because it is said to be full of skills; it sharpens your memory when you are good at analyzing the cards thrown by your opponents. is like the difficulty of that as a card player.

Then blackjack can be said to be easier to play than poker because you just have to guess which one is the higher number, which is far from poker games, based on my observation.

I have always thought that one day the day will come for me to either hit that huge max multiplier of well over x10.000 or to quit completely.The second happened to me,I think I have quit completely from yesterday and today play sessions,I had a lot of money to use and try different slots,I tried only one provider and that is Pragmatic Play and it got from bad to worse in a consecutive way after winning an x1800 multiplier which is not enough for me to satisfy my desire of winnings.Based on this I know that I have said many times I will quit slots and not kept the promise,yet tonight I have an 100% percent intention of quitting for good after losing in more than 30 different slots during these 2 days.So overall everyone loses on slots.

If ever a slot game or provider doesnt have that max win thing then it does mean that they are capable on giving out winnings which are really that no matter how big it would be which it is really good but of course it would really be just that depending on what site you are dealing with on which considering that max wins are really that something that could potentially bankrupt out a site if ever
a player do make out some huge hit and this is why it would really be that impossible that they havent set anything something like that. Going back into the topic or even just on topic title if ever we do
lose on slots? this isnt a question considering that losing bets on gambling is really just that part of the game and its something inevitable. Thing here to be mind about is on how you would
really be that able to avoid things.
Someone to correct me please, but I don’t think that there’s a big or any difference playing the same slot in a casino or another as long as the slots is from the same provider and they didn’t change the RTP. Some people believe that the reason of losing from playing slots is the casino itself and if they play in another one, they could of won?
Also, you mentioned the Max Win given to players would make them go bankrupt, I believe each casino has special algorithms for the number of times to give Jackpots or Max Win to player which is the time of big profit for the casino and wouldn’t effect them, the algorithm keeps always casinos winning.

Slots are different from betting or other in-house games, because they have special ways of playing and different ways of paying out players. You can’t win a jackpot while betting, in slots you may play with a very small sum of money but still win huge. Betting or other games you will win only what’s written in rules. However, not everyone has the chance to win huge or hit Max Win.

Hey LUCKMCFLY, you will forgive me for not quoting you. Yes, we live under different regulations, there is no doubt about it. In the case you mentioned of Shakira, if you live more than half of a year in a country you have to pay taxes there, isn't that what happened to her? if that was the case, then she had to know about it, moreover Piqué is Spaniard (Catalán he prefers).

Back on topic, I don't think it is a bad thing if they make certain rules that make sense, like limiting the min/max stake per bet making it less addictive, or the jackpot, apart of the minimum percentage of the money earned that must be returned in the way of prizes in certain kind of machines.

I'm not really a fan of superstition so I don't agree that it helps you in a karma way to tip the people near you when you hit a win, all slots are programmed to do the same thing and the probability that they have in there are all the same, unless the machine Gods and machine spirit is real, then those stuff can't be true about slots and if they're true then you're still fucked because you're the unlucky one.
-snip-

I learnt yesterday that the governments set the rules about the requisites, limits, etc. that gambling machines must respect in the territory. So, apart from Gods and owners/manufacturers, politicians have something to say too about the probabilities for you to win.

Of course, online the frontiers are blurred so online casinos have more freedom than the owners of the physical machines we see in taverns and casinos, but after knowing all that, and how these machines are programmed, it is harder to believe in superstitions.

Wow, it doesn't seem strange to me, but the governments in Europe? This is something that makes us all a little upset, I understand that the country that is strongest in paying for services and that supervises any activity in Europe is Spain, because I know that the Treasury has a large arm where it handles many things, this is something that is sometimes scary but personally this type of thing can be seen as the best for some, but I say something with respect to governments like that of Spain where not even Shakira was saved because it is something hard , because basically the natives themselves know Well, what is the system like and a foreign person who fails in the slightest pays dearly and even with prison it is hard , I think that the government of Portugal, its banking and financial system is a little more Friendly , in fact I have always liked it a lot That system, therefore, I would see it as a more bearable system even for foreigners where the casino activity is not yet regulated, well that's what I understand.

In South American countries, especially where I live , the only thing they regulate is the Bitcoin mining activity, they are not in charge of any other activity, because if they start Regulating , I think that all the people would not pay attention to it, even Thus there are still miners who carry out their activity without even wanting to be and comply with what they command, perhaps in South America because of the things they have experienced they are a little more irreverent with these things, because they can accept any thing , but if the government gets Involved With your pocketbook they don't allow it, I think they prefer to go to jail rather than give more to the government, these things are sometimes good, but it is difficult, compared to the system in Spain I think it is even superior above all, since The pensions and their systems of supporting people are very high and the city is much higher , even in the richest Country in South America with oil Reserves.

I remember that, 15 years ago, when I played Second Life (beautiful memories) there were slot machines in some lands I frequently visited, and that I gave them a try. I think that they were badly programmed, because the more I played, the more I won, which is not sustainable for the service provider.

It is true that, as Lindens (the in-game currency) were difficult to buy at that time, I had just a few bucks, so I didn't make a great profit. Chances are that for higher amounts the outcome would've been different, or they were simply bad programmed. But it was a long time ago and I don't think modern slots online have that kind of flaws.
Wow, Second Life is that old? I just see their ads recently and didn't know that they're that old. Haven't played it long enough to explore it, just do some chats with other players and some trolling and that's about what I did there and finally just dropped playing it. That slot machine wins is definitely a programming bug, it's most likely as you've suspected.

interesting comment
reminds me of the small tale about the fortune goddess that I don't remember all the details

but searching for it lead me to this wikipedia page on Fortuna, the roman goddess of chance, luck and fate (Tyche in the greek myths)
which is interesting as well

Tipping can be fan and make you and the people who receive it feel good too so sometimes, why not?

1. always set a budget for playing slots and stick to it. do not chase losses or try to win back what you have lost by playing more.
This is the most important, using very low amount of money that you can afford to lose, like less than 2 to 5% of your weekly income to gamble weekly.

The most vulnerable time a gambler can have is when the gambler is chasing losses. This is the period a gambler is vulnerable to spend almost all or all the money he has to gambling and it is the time of having poor mindset towards gambling.
Slots games are very risky and totally dependent on luck, so betting here means you have to accept the loss.  And since it depends entirely on luck, you should bet as much as you can afford to lose. Even with your long experience you can't do well in slots games if you don't have good luck.  But you have a chance to do well with your experience and skill in other games but not in slots.  So I think there is no one in the gambling world who can say that he has not lost at slots
Slot games must be used as a place to have complete fun and never hope that you will win the match, slot games must be treated like that, because if considered as a place to make a profit, it is like betting on sports or cards.

I agree with you that slots are a game that will definitely make you lose, and it is true that people will lose more in slot games, that is a certain thing, in any casino because the system is the same, so losing is something you have to accept, budgeting Money is of course money that you have to be prepared to lose, and never want it back, because that will only increase your losses.
Now, let me say this from the perspective of a real gambler, what you said is actually very hard to believe or agree to, but you have actually spoken the truth, but the fact remains that, any gambler who is obsessed with slot games will hardly believe that slot games are designed in such a way that a player never wins in the long run, I myself discovered this and stopped playing slot games as frequently  as I used to in the past, I began to focus more on sports betting.

Right now, I only play slot games when ever I am really hungry for it, and for sure, I usually expect to win nothing which I always end up winning nothing as expected  Grin, but I am still hoping that one day, maybe by mistake, I could win a jackpot of like $30k to $50k or even more from a slot game, then I possibly will quit playing slot games forever  Grin, so I don't end up losing the money back to the casino.

Of course, all forms of gambling must be used as entertainment and just for fun, but we also have to have the right strategy and analysis. It's true that slots mostly just rely on luck, but for me it's also important that we use strategy in slot games because the slot system usually doesn't give you consecutive wins. That's why every time we win, we have to move to another slot.

Because slots I know it's crazy how quickly your money disappears no matter what game you play unless you hit the jackpot. But if we have a strategy, maybe we can minimize losses. My strategy in slot games is I take a budget. If I lose, I lose. If my budget reaches 3X, I'm done or move to another slot. You can't win all the time but you can increase your chances by using strategy, and that makes your slot games much better and walk away with more money than before.
You are right because, seeing how quickly slot games drain, we can see that we will waste all our money if we are not careful when playing slots. The strategy we have to have is how to manage the betting money we use, how long we can bet with that money, and how much money we can use. And you are again right in saying that if we don't win all the time but with the right strategy, we can get entertainment from gambling. But this strategy may not increase your chances of winning because slot games require luck, and luck will not always be with those of us who play slots. That's why we have to have good self-control to save money when playing slots. By controlling the money we use to play slots, we can reduce the number of losses by gambling less.

Yes. Some people will find an edge or get really luck and consistently win over the house longterm but these are totally outliers. Not common to see this kind of thing. Usually most will lose to the house or to other players in the long run

and indeed most gamblers who gamble can spend a lot of money and a lot of time, the hope that gamblers have is a big win where a big win is difficult to get,  because it is also impossible to get that win easily with just a small win. It's already difficult, let alone that big win. also gamblers who just play cannot possibly predict victory or can have tricks to get big wins easily because it only depends on luck which will determine whether they win or lose but most gamblers who put big hopes on their gambling lose,  not win, because It is clear that the percentage of losses is greater than the percentage of wins, because the dealer also doesn't want to lose so the dealer as host will never lose in this case.

Is it really like that? but I once had a moment like what you said, where I gambled for quite a long time and when my money ran low, at that moment the game became good again and I raised the money that had run out,  I didn't know that was a rule, I just thought it was my luck at gambling. and indeed this is a trap for us to convince us to continue gambling  without stopping, the great temptation to gamble is very difficult to avoid,  in fact it is almost impossible to avoid it.
If you think about it logically, wouldn't it never be worth what they do because big wins or jackpots can only be obtained if luck is really on their side, whereas they spend lot of time and money with full uncertainty about when that luck will come.
But they already have mindset that is filled with excessive ambition for victory so that whatever they do, they continue to pursue victory as much as possible and of course they forget about the risks that can come at any time.
What more, in games like slots, isn't having too big ambitions also just in vain and just look at how many gamblers experience big losses from slot games, even many people in the country I live in experience mental stress and destruction.

Yes of course and I say that based on reality and also my experience playing in several casino games.
Playing with lot of money but at certain time the money is almost gone with the final ambition and hope of deciding to reduce the bet amount, then without realizing it, winning can be obtained very easily.
From here there will be desire to play longer so that all the winnings will be completely used up without any remaining, this is the real working system of casino games.

But I will continue to recommend gambling without any ambition to make money and we must always be wise gamblers where the goal is just to have fun and continue to maintain control and also limits in managing time and finances.
This would be much better than having to give up more money and time but getting nothing but regret.

It's true like that, I think what they do like that is pointless, even if it's called seeking pleasure, it's not appropriate for them to spend a lot of money and spend a lot of time in vain. In my opinion, they really don't think about the big risks that will occur because what they do, in my opinion, has proven that they don't think about the risks, they only focus on things they like, they lose or they don't care about it, the important thing is that they can play. with the money they have, but on the other hand they definitely also want victory which is difficult to get, maybe they believe in the saying that there is victory behind the defeat that occurs. also with the large number of people who gamble today who do online gambling, many of them have been destroyed because of their gambling addiction, many of them have been destroyed financially, economically and healthily. it is not strange that they experience destruction from everything because they themselves cannot regulate themselves to limit gambling, because the impact of gambling is clear but they themselves are not aware of it, if they can see the impact that will occur and think about the impact maybe they won't experience much loss, but yes, the reality is that it is like that, many of them are not aware of this and it is to their own detriment. no one can stop them except themselves.

The winnings will be easy to get if they have strong luck, actually in my opinion with a profitable but small amount of winnings it is enough to pay for the sense of pleasure seeking, but indeed dissatisfaction and greed also cannot be hidden easily, So many of them are trapped in gambling just because they themselves do not feel satisfied with what they have got and also with greed that encourages them to continue gambling without realizing they have spent a lot of money on this one activity, I myself sometimes feel bored if I gamble for a long time with no clear end, so the gambling game that I play is neither winning nor losing and in the end I get bored and then leave the game and come back later in the day if I really want to. We must be able to distinguish which things are beneficial and which things are harmful, if we cannot distinguish this, then gambling will be done excessively.

I remember that, 15 years ago, when I played Second Life (beautiful memories) there were slot machines in some lands I frequently visited, and that I gave them a try. I think that they were badly programmed, because the more I played, the more I won, which is not sustainable for the service provider.

It is true that, as Lindens (the in-game currency) were difficult to buy at that time, I had just a few bucks, so I didn't make a great profit. Chances are that for higher amounts the outcome would've been different, or they were simply bad programmed. But it was a long time ago and I don't think modern slots online have that kind of flaws.
Wow, Second Life is that old? I just see their ads recently and didn't know that they're that old. Haven't played it long enough to explore it, just do some chats with other players and some trolling and that's about what I did there and finally just dropped playing it. That slot machine wins is definitely a programming bug, it's most likely as you've suspected.

Yes!! I remember playing it back in 2009, and I arrived very late to the game (some people who had played for years were already rich because of the rise in the price of the Linden, similar to Bitcoin, I always arrive late Cry). What you've seen is a revamp, the old game almost died when facebook got mainstream: more than half of the users were women who wanted to socialize onlineC and the rise of social media had a negative impact for the game.

That's what I think too, a programming bug; maybe it is more difficult to find one nowadays, but back these in days the resources were more limited and I guess that copy-pastes of reused code lead to these vulnerabilities.


One way or the other, and although I'm not a fan of slots in general, I had a good time back then.

At some point in the game, there was a casino in an alien planet ran by aligators. Cheesy

For a 90's game, it was and still is much better than many of the games developed in our currently days.

This is great! thank you for sharing the screenshots, it reminds me more like Habbo Hotel rather than Second Life, but the idea of a casino inside of a game is the same.

Let me search in my old computer, maybe I have screenshots too from that time, although I doubt that I will find one of the machines I mentioned.

Slot games must be used as a place to have complete fun and never hope that you will win the match, slot games must be treated like that, because if considered as a place to make a profit, it is like betting on sports or cards.

I agree with you that slots are a game that will definitely make you lose, and it is true that people will lose more in slot games, that is a certain thing, in any casino because the system is the same, so losing is something you have to accept, budgeting Money is of course money that you have to be prepared to lose, and never want it back, because that will only increase your losses.
That's what we should do when playing slots because if we keep trying to chase wins, we could lose more money and go bankrupt overnight. But many gamblers don't think about this because they still see that slot games can give them big wins, so they keep trying hard to get that big win. They should be able to realize that slot games can drain all their money in an instant without being able to win a small amount of money.

Perhaps they can win some money, but compared to the amount they lose, there will be more money lost than money won. We must be able to accept the losses we experience, and there is no need to try to recover from those losses because we could experience even greater losses. Instead of experiencing bigger losses, we should immediately stop playing slots and rest, which is more important than continuing to gamble.
