When one is new to gambling and has made some fortune or made good wins will be having this kind of mentality. This is common, because we think we can make continued win and turn millionaires and so on. Only after days of gambling and losing we'll understand it isn't an easy thing to break the code or to win against the house edge.

There are gamblers who have made millions with tricks and studying the script thats been used on particular slot games.

If you search the internet there are a lot of attempts and some really successful cheating slots machine with various ways, the one that stuck in my mind is the synchronize clock method where the abuser pushes the button at the calculated time. Anyway, I don't think most slots players play because they want to "break the code." The game itself is the main attraction and when you see some documentaries, some players actually feel sad when they win, because they love the journey, not the prize at the end of it.

I personally do not play slots, but do you think that is why people like slot machines? Short of breaking their code?

The only "code" to speak of is the code of statistics. Chance and statistics are interchangeable in this instance... One in a hundred, one in a thousand, one in a million

However if you played a game where there was a one in one hundred chance of winning, after ninety-nine rolls, you're still not assured of winning in roll one hundred as you are back to square one for each turn (i.e. one in one hundred)

After a thousand turns you probably still won't hit the win. Chance and statistics are like that.

Not at all, I think most people like slot machines in general because there's so many variants to choose from and a lot of providers release new games every week. There are people that tried to cheat on slots but it's unlikely they could get away with it since casinos really take their time to verify the results whenever there's a big win. I like playing slots as well but i've never thought of hacking a slot game since that's one of the worst ways to win imo.
Any gambling games aside from card or strategic games are already designed for their own edge and this is what we known as house edge since they would really be the winner or making money in the end of the line.
Pursuing on making profits in gambling world is just suicide and instead of enjoying the game then you are really minding on how to beat up the house which is very wrong. Trying to take advantage on something
and also theres no business that would just carelessly on releasing  off games if they do know that there might be some bugs or exploits which would cause for some leaking of profits.
When you do gamble then these kind of mindset should really be set aside.

Haha. About 10 years ago, a similar gambler lived near me. He was already retired, but since he had worked all his life on a submarine his pension was quite good by the standards of my country. After he received his pension for several days in a row he would drink and try to "crack the code" at the nearest illegal slot establishment. Of course he was unsuccessful)

In my perspective it's not about breaking the code but about the satisfaction of winning and the reward we receive afterwards.
Gamblers are motivated because the joy of winning drives themselves to carry out different strategies to somehow win the gamble.
Not only in gambling but at any point in life where there's a competition, we tend to try out various strategies to somehow win that particular event.
I believe this is why all gamblers tend to gamble frequently so that they can keep winning the games.

And things often experienced by gamblers when entering for the first time to gamble, the house provided him as a winner to withdraw more funds that were issued the second time by the gambler. so that without realizing the pattern of the gambler's game no longer thinks about what he has spent.
Then continue to add funds to enter in larger amounts, with reference to the first win. as an impetus to keep going and winning gambling is the biggest mistake.
If you want to play with the residents of the Casino who designed the Gambling system, then the gambler needs to play smoother. play, win and withdraw profits if you have reached the minimum withdrawal. save capital then play again.

it's not really "to break the code" or anything really. it's just a self-thought to motivate/cheer himself up. a lot of people do this and not just in gambling. for instance, I remember saying that kind of thing a lot that I would "I will beat the shit out of this punching bag" when I was in my high school Taekwondo club. saying that keeps my morale high and motivates me to keep going. I think your neighbor is just doing the same thing.

I agree.

Positive mindset is important before you do something, because you don't what's gonna happen. All you can do is to simply believe in yourself and luck that you can do it, however, positive mindset sometimes turns out to be a false hope, and just going to drive you to somewhere you don't want to be (addiction or so much losses).

That's why in why case, I'd rather accept the reality that I could not beat the machine, so I'll do another thing to earn money than to lose money in the long run.

It's mind motivation they know and we all know that you cannot beat a house edge or break any code when it comes to gambling against dice or slots people are doing this to entertain themselves I sometimes do this, trying to motivate my subconscious mind to find a way to beat the odds, it's fun doing this as long as you are not taking this seriously

Yeah, mind motivation or to boost their confidence, but logically it's really hard to break the code because it is based on luck. Maybe just maybe if he is lucky enough then in just one press he could win big or hit the jackpot. But that chances are very slim in a slot machine and there is also this thing called RTP = Return to Players which is not on our favour.

One of my neighbours, a million years ago, was obviously addict to the slot machines. He would spend hours spinning in a nearby bar (these machines are allowed in bars in my country of origin) and my take is that he would spend a fortune on it. Once, I passed by and I overheard him saying "I am going to teach this machine who is in charge". It sounded like he was attributing some short of conscience and life to the machine and though he could "beat it". I have observed that many people that gamble are into that type of thinking, that is, it is me against this code and this machine and I can actually break the code and win.

Lol! This is a typical behavior of gambling addicts. When normal playing don't work in favor of them, they sometimes become superstitious. It is one of such behaviors. Obviously your neighbor is a gambling addict and who is probably in need to a fortune to kick his problems away. But he is indeed helping the bar owner by playing games in a hope of winning money! He must go see a psychiatrist asap. Otherwise he will keep on doing this non sense and keep on loosing money!

People are curious about winning on the slot game because that game really needs to have the luck to win, and not many people can get their luck and win some money.
Maybe he is desperate because of his losses, so he says like that, but he can not do anything because I do not think he can break their code to win the game.
But I believe that some people can win easily on the slot game and get the money or sometimes hit the jackpot.
I hope you can suggest your friend not spend much money playing slot games because that can be the biggest loss of his money.

I think he hasn't found something good to do except playing those slots and whenever he spend some time playing it, he feels some sort of peaceful mind until he loses all his money on that machine and finds some way to play again. This is not breaking the code man, you're buddy right there is simply addictive to play that slot machine and he doesn't care whatever the result would be as he only thought of winning and when he lost, he will come back again with a thought of getting some deluded mind that he can beat the game.

for the most people that was just an expression when they say they can beat the hell out of it or break its code but for a real hackers ,
 they can literaly break the code of that machine or a gambling site if the code or the software was written poorly but it can happen on any types of games not only in slots  .
they are desperate and they do anything in order to make a revenge  . we need to have a control in gambling before we end up like this
Hacking is a Skill mate , those people are gifted with talent that only few has, there are many computer genius but only few are successful hackers.
even the government is hiring some to work with so this is not a total Mess job.
But indeed that Hacking gambling site is a sign of either addiction or laziness to find real job and that is they end up hacking the site for them to gamble more.
The only way that I know regarding breaking the code is by people using some sort of exploit to make the slot machine turn to their facor, what you're describing regarding your neighbor is just an attitude towards gambling, it's not something that works everytime, sort of like a coincidence that it happened and also, slot machines have existed millions of years ago?
Yups coincidence and  some sort of planning that is why he successfully done this thing.

A couple years ago I was tasked with the installation and maintenance of Apex Slot Machines in countries like Albania and Kosovo.The company that had bought the machines and that hired me,explicitly told me that from RTP perspective the machine should get 86% to the house and only 14% to the people.This was a robbery and soon the people stopped playing by these slot machines which you could have found in every bar.However they were based on Red Hat Linux and only the installer could change things,do what ever he liked,other than this person even if you were the most sophisticated hacker in the world you could do nothing against these machines,let alone breaking the code.I believe the same is for almost 99% of the slot machines except that in other countries the RTP should be the opposite,86% to the player and 14% to the house.

Breaking their code is only a deceived state of mind which only addict gamblers have and show.It is not based on reality.

The vast majority of slot players are not nuts to the extent of being thinking this way. Slots would be banned everywhere otherwise, no country needs machines that make their citizens go crazy.

But who of us wasn't in the place of those crazy dreamers at least once, at least for a few seconds? I think all of us were there. The key is not to stay in that state of mind for too long.

Have seen this show called Ozark where they used an exploit to know when will the slots hit the jackpot, they're trying to destroy another casino because they want to buy that casino so they did that. .
i search this up and found that its a netflix series . i thought this was some kind of documentary but who knows maybe some events are based on real life  .

yes but the owners must still be vigillant because hackers will surely find a way to penetrate . right now there are still hackings that are happening and we cant say that they got hacked because they have a poor security .

Breaking the code exists during the early days of electronic slot machines. I've read "The Art Of Intrusion" by Kevin Mitnick in which he describes a group of programmers who just wanted to experiment if it's possible to break into the slot machine's software. Fortunately, after doing a lot of research, they just managed to reverse engineer the software to determine when will the slot machine hit the jackpot.

This is a long read though, but still, it is interesting to see such scenarios to know that it is possible during the early days.

There are no codes to break, slots are generally a game of luck they are just fooling themselves if they think they can break the codes and cheat the slot, you can win randomly but you cannot consider it as you have beaten the odds, the slot still has the house edge if you keep on trying you will end up losing a lot of money, so don't believe on your friend that he can cheat the code and become successful.
