Thanks for the tips but the second and third points have no grounds. Changing the slot game when being unlucky won't increase your chances of winning. Sorry to say that but it's just another gamblers' fallacy. It's all about luck and you can keep losing even if you change the game hundreds of times.
...

I saw some other people say the same about the second and third points, but there is something in both. The streak of dead and LDW streaks can be really long, I guess we are talking about tens and hundreds of spins. Many times the bonus didn't cane even after 200-300 spins. So the second and third points are just like precaution, if slots are just taking in the first 10 spins, maybe it would be good to move to the next one. I agree with you, we can keep losing even if change the game hundred times, but at least we will try different slots.

Last night at BC. Egyptian Adventure (BC Originals), RTP - 97.51%. I didn't hit the bonus round, no big wins this time... after losing more than half of my balance I decided to quit.

Maybe it's a gambler's fallacy, I will not argue with that, but sometimes it's good to change a slot that is full of long streaks of dead spins. I know that in those moments we expect a big hit after so many dead spins, but sometimes (many times) that doesn't happen and we get busted.

so i am sharing some tips to avoid this type of losing streak or bad luck in slots.

The tips you have shared are what you have learnt from loosing, they are not all valid tips, some are only applicable to land casino's and not online crypto casino's that some of us have become used to currently.

Quote from: cafter on April 12, 2023, 02:27:20 PM

2. if a slot machine does not hit in 7-10 spins, consider trying a different machine. this can help you avoid getting stuck on a losing streak and losing more money.
3. if you have been playing a slot machine for 50 spins and have not gotten any free spins or big wins, consider switching to a different machine.
this can help you avoid wasting money on a machine that is unlikely to pay out.
7. avoid getting "slot psychosis" where you get stuck on one machine for too long. remember that slots are based on random chance and there is no guaranteed way to win.
so, take breaks, switch machines and remember to have fun!

Imagine playing in an offline casino with limited slot machines or in a casino where the slot machine they have are all occupied by users and then you become stuck with one machine, the most important tip is to not chase your losses, and come try another day.

Quote from: cafter on April 12, 2023, 02:27:20 PM

6. if you do hit a big win, consider tipping any nearby players who may have been unlucky or busting. This can help spread good karma and keep the atmosphere positive.

This is superstitious and just what you believe.

Regarding point four, if you are looking for high payout percentages then what matters the most is the game's volatility and rtp not the game provider itself. Games from the same provider may have different max payouts.

I like the idea of using a low budget or a set aside a budget to gamble, most especially in the slot since the slot is luck base game it's important to play with only a small amount that will not affect you if you lose because some players may think there have good Slot skills and have trusted they can win there by taking the risk to stake a high amount and if luck is not on their side they could lose everything in a slot within a second.

So it is important to always have a budget no matter how skill full you may think you are because sometimes you need more than skills to win.

i play slots hoping to win 'big win' or 'jackpot' but many times it don't hits and my balance get drained after betting many times in one slot machine. i play more bets hoping it already took my so much balance it will definitely going to hit this times, but it never happens, and my balance becomes "0".

so i am sharing some tips to avoid this type of losing streak or bad luck in slots.
here it starts:

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.

There's no betting strategy better than this one, if you're playing in a luck-based game whatever other strategy you use you will suffer a win or loss but most of the time, losses, so you have to employ a strategy where you are not going to lose more and will show that you are a responsible gambler and this is the best strategy you can employ.
All the other strategies are not 100% effective although they may look good, in a luck-based game you can't be sure of all the other strategies.

Slot games can be easy to play but it's also somehow tricky to win if luck is not on your side. With the years I have spent on slots game there's always a game I believe always provides me the needed chance of winning I think that's what you need to do.
Try different slot games to find the one that's best for you but always bet on the minimum

This could be another belief of trying a new slot games and find a game that gives you the best excitement since if will also fall and depend on your luck for your winnings. We should always have our comfortable game where you can say that you can have fun with it, I’ve been playing with slots as well and I can say that you cannot avoid losing the money because its gambling, so better to enjoy playing where you can attract your luck and have some wins as well.

This is one of those old gambling fallacies that constantly get circulated. Granted the game is fair, the chance of hitting a win is equal if you stay there for 10 spins or for 100 spins. Going to a new machine doesn't change that. With your advice, a gambler's chance of hitting on the 11th spin is equal to that of hitting on the first spin on a new machine. What's the point?

RTP guarantees a certain payout over time. The immediate return is always unknown so there isn't a point in trying to "time" the machine's win.

[leftSetting a budget for gambling, I agree.
But to avoid pragmatics, I disagree.
Even though we know that all slot games are based on luck and whatever choice of provider you will choose to bet on, and if you are lucky to get a win at pragmatic, it means that your luck is there.
Want to choose at any provider if you are not lucky, you will definitely lose your entire balance.[/left]

You can't avoid losing money if you want to gamble on any online casino, there will be no winning for you if you are not ready to lose, you can surely limit your losses by using a small amount of money to gamble.

I do play slots and I have lose and win too, I can't remember the count of my winning against my losses but it was fun, I won't touch any casinos for now because I can't afford any money right now, you know, the type of money I am ready to lose?

I take this rules very seriously because it's the most important rule when planning to gamble on any online casino, we can this game a gamble for the same reason, it's a goddamn gamble so treat it as a gamble.

That is very true when you play slots or any other game that is purely chance and requires little skill or skill matters nothing you have to assume that the most likely outcome is to loose money. However, there are many games that are skill games, such as poker or even black jack and in there you have a better chance of making some earnings if you know how.

thanks for the advice.
I would also add:
- to check the RTP (reward to player) when provided and
- if possible check the current RTP (how much was paid in the last day or week).
but above all.. an almost fundamental aspect, reading up on the statistics and mathematics of slots helps (a lot) to understand the mechanism of this type of game and understand the real chance of win.

^First thing first, and I think this also can be added.
Choose a reputable casino, when playing online and choosing a casino make sure you choose a reputable casino that has been in business for a while and has good reviews from other players. For me, this is no real chance of winning because slot games are based on your luck, and if this was not on your side, you did not surely win the game.
One last thing is that don't chase losses, if you have had a string of bad luck, don't try to recoup your losses by betting more money. This is a common mistake that can lead to even bigger losses. Because of the fact that slot machines are designed to have a house edge, which means that over time, the casino will always make a profit from players. The house edge varies from machine to machine but typically ranges from 2% to 15%.

Choose your game wisely. Slots can be entertaining, but it's important to understand that in the long run, you'll never consistently win at this game. It's better to gamble for fun alone, so you can limit your losses. I also play this game, but I don't typically bet big compared to other forms of gambling, such as sports betting and poker.

Most slots are built to keep you hooked up for hours playing and it works. I like some of the interactive ones where you can shoot instead of spinning and there's multiple themes and music throughout the play depending on what you do. I haven't managed to win anything playing slots ever. I mean there are some small wins but they bring me an hour back in my struggle, then I come back, play for an hour and sometimes get back to the start line again. Best case scenario I end my entertainment with 10% more money that I started with but it's usually just a few dollars worth of money.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.

Your rules are quite good and following such a strict regiment would definitely help out the people who go absolutely nuts on slots. Great job, OP.

Furthermore I would also add that switching between different slot games is just as important as switching between different slot machines, should you not be able to feel like you will win, even after many many tries. Not only does switching slot machines give you a clean slate when it comes to your chances of winning but switching between slot games also gives you a psychological break. If you keep playing the same game over and over again at some point your brain will show signs of fatigue and even irritation. That irritation alone can make you play in an irrational way.

So for me, items:
1 & 7 are the most important
2 & 3 does not make sense
& the rest, excluding items 1 & 7 should be assessed first by the players/those that are reading this thread.

The second and third tips might be because of how a certain slot could go hot and cold, it's good to move between games frequently given there are slots that would eat one too many spins on a certain day and barely give out wins. It might not be effective overall because we're all bound to lose by the edge but it could still help you avoid wasting spins on cold slots.

Quote from: Coin_trader on April 13, 2023, 10:28:03 AM

Is this even happening in reality. I play multiple time IRL casino and no one is tipping others once they win huge amount because we don’t know each other. Not all players can win and spreading good karma will not change that fact.

I agree tipping shouldn't even be on the list as it doesn't change the luck of the gambler at all and the good karma that comes with it is most likely a coincidence.

I feel you when those slot machines refuse to give you a break! Fear not, I've got a couple of pointers to cheer you up! First and foremost, gambling's all about having a blast, so don't sweat the small stuff! Shake off those losses, and who knows, the next spin might just be your jackpot!

Diving into a philosophical realm, life's like a slot machine - you win some, you lose some. But it's the rollercoaster ride that matters, not merely the finish line. Even if Lady Luck frowns upon you, have a ball and savor the experience. It's your mindset and game strategy that count.

Lastly, from a glass-half-full angle, every loss inches you closer to that big score! You can't predict when fortune will favor you, so keep those reels spinning and your mojo flowing. And if all else crumbles, there's always another day to conquer the slots. Best of luck!

It should be applied to all gambling games, not for slots only because limiting and sticking to our budget is the first thing to do to avoid the worst case.

Quote from: cafter on April 12, 2023, 02:27:20 PM

2. if a slot machine does not hit in 7-10 spins, consider trying a different machine. this can help you avoid getting stuck on a losing streak and losing more money.
3. if you have been playing a slot machine for 50 spins and have not gotten any free spins or big wins, consider switching to a different machine.
this can help you avoid wasting money on a machine that is unlikely to pay out.

So you are hoping to see big wins in less than 50 spins only?
How if you try so many games, lets say 10 different games with 50 spins each but still no big wins or no free spins at all?
50 spins is just too low to test your luck IMO, I would prefer to try slot with at least 100-200 spins before I switched to other game.

4. avoid playing slots from Pragmatic and Gamomat as they tend to have low payout percentages and are not as likely to result in big wins.

I'm not sure how long you have been playing slot games, but as per my own experience, Pragmatic is one of the best provider that gives good wins more than the other providers.

5. be careful when playing slots from Belatra and Spinomenal as they can be unpredictable and may not always pay out as expected

Dont you think that all slots games are unpredictable? If you mention few specific providers to be unpredictable, does it mean that other providers are predictable?

Very good set of advices, personally, I have never played on a physical slot machine, so I maybe would not likely understand the feeling, but I've played several slot games online, and I've always focused on games provided by pragmatic, I've never been lucky enough to any big amount, so from this thread, Ive learnt to avoid games from pragmatic for they have a low winning chances, I will put this in mind when next I decide to try my luck with slot games.

I usually don't plat slots because I haven't experience winning a remarkable profit from trying out slots before. Though I believe that this is a great advice since I think you play and like slots for a long time because of the experience you just shared. I just don't have the luck to wins slots and don't really enjoy it that much compared to other games that can make my heart bounce like crash game. One thing is for sure, I can't really use this advice for free spins came from bonuses because those are intended for a single game and you don't have not much to do about it.

All the given tips are effective not just to win but also to play with a lighter feeling. It is necessary that we enjoy gambling instead of pressuring ourselves to win big because if we chase big wins, we might only make wrong decisions.
It is also important that we set enough budget for gambling and know when to stop. Self-discipline and control will always work.
I also like the idea of sharing a small portion of our winnings with the community or the people around us. Their gratefulness and good luck wishes brings positivity and attract good luck. We might always not win but if we'll play with an optimistic mind, we will enjoy what we are doing.

This is very useful advice and I like it because they have many Approaches to calm and take breaks, I have seen people who go to casinos and play all day, I don't know how they eat,I don't know how they do other activities, and I have seen many older people who are Sitting in front of the slots all the time giving and giving, playing and looking for very big Prizes,I think they are very addicted people and they do not care about their lives, I know that the game is for fun but they treat it that way I don't like.
