Topic: Motivated by "breaking the code" - page 9. (Read 1557 times)

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?

Most people who gamble don't even know about codes, they just wanted to win it and win all the time so they think that their fate can be changed with their brave decisions. In some occasions they might win it just happened as coincidence but it will boost thier confidence and play more.

People normally likes to play slots because its actually a fun game and there are hundreds of different slots games available on the internet so they are not going to get bored even if they spend hours of playing it.

I have learned to give them the adjective them for the  fact of just clicking and waiting for something to happen ; "vulnerable".
But the Slots have nothing vulnerable, that is the hook to capture any type of player.

Many have expressed how close one can be to falling into obsession, but some perhaps without knowing it have done it (break the code) even if it is playing marbles. It is something that is always there for any type of game and even activity of another type.

The reality is that people who are dedicated to playing the slots under that premise just get the losses as code.

Documentation or reference can be found of how individuals, for example in roulettes or blackjack, have managed to "break the code" in some cases they border between legal and illegal, but who has done it with a slot machine ( !?)

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

As soon as someone plays with such a mindset, I don't think he does it for fun anymore but is already caught in a dependency spiral ("I have to play 5 more times now, then I'll win for sure").
If you have a little insight into how slots work and how highly manipulated they are (both in offline and online casinos), then you immediately see that you can't beat them. Slots are usually a very good source of revenue for casinos: very high house edge combined with very short game duration, which makes people want to play a lot of games quickly.

It's a dangerous mindset challenging the machine that controls the edge which in fact can beat you at the end of the day, but on the other hand, if the player is just playing with an imaginative mind and he just want to be entertained I don't think it will harm him, gambling is something that you want to try after depressing hours in the office or your work, it's sort of a scapegoat to reality, if you play for fun, an hour or two in a gambling session is a good stress buster.

You are one sharp observer.

Anyway, I agree, but not only slot machines. This type of mentality applies to a lot of gamblers. Even myself, I have to admit, I also have this kind of air in me sometimes which tells me to beat the edge, take their money, bring the house down, show them you can win, and so on.

I guess this is commonly shared among gamblers. This strong feeling to try beat the unbeatable makes gambling even more interesting. It is generally given that in gambling you are expected to lose. But it seems to me gamblers are not discouraged. As a matter of fact, it even makes winning more triumphant.

I do think that this is just probably an expression of your friend, to so could break the code, which we all know that it is impossible. Most of the times gamblers are really known to be like this, very emotional and will do things out of the norm.

It's the same as those players that I have observed in a land based casino, who touches the screen and telling things like "give me the bonus" or something. It's all fallacy.

Yes I agree with you but I think it's not impossible to break the code on some of them. At least on online slots some players seem to have been able to do it. It can be done when the game is not really random and fair and is designed to make people spend and lose their money on the game, then you can take advantage of these patterns when you notice them. But if the game is truly random there isn't any way to trick it.

We play gambling for entertainment,it doesnt matter if you playing dice,slots roulette or something like that but it do share up on the same aim which is to enjoy and win money in bonus
but there are really people who do really try to beat the house or the game and wont stop until it do happen.They dont mind on how much they would spent out and they would
stick on what they do have in mind no matter what.

Behavior of a certain person whom would easily get addicted sooner or later if he would continue that kind of mindset.

Its never too late, there is always going to be ways and people trying in all ways possible legal or not but the easiest methods are probably not there any more.   Apparently it used to be as easy as a lightpen on the end of a flexible stick and similar ideas because the machine would count via beams of light interrupted by the coin flow.  There is probably some cross over in mechanical terms to all convenience machines and there is absolutely always some people trying to do this because think of all the avenues open to you to steal basically once you craft the key you have the gates to the entire empire open i.e. mass produced machines.

There is a long documentary probably a few on this subject, a whole arms race between the cheats, their technology innovative methodology VS the casinos themselves trying to prevent the cheats from operating and cover the machines short comings over the years.     War games for gamblers    similar to stories I used to read on phone phreakers and the earliest of hackers, this stuff never goes away really its a real crossword challenge to some.

I used to know someone who gambled a ton and he swore it was not the people playing who broke the code in this way but the bar staff.   The bar man would watch those gambling, noting how much they spend and their winnings and when quiet would go to collect the accumulated cash now in the machine that had not paid out.   Because he is there all day he gets an idea of the payout ratio and likely chance of receiving 'good luck' bonuses and such like.   Reminds me of the plane spotter I worked with in the airport that just being there was a bonus for him.   This strategy is probably legal but quite sad for all those who arrive to a machine run dry of any easy winnings.

Breaking the code is indirectly talking about on beating up the game and simply make big wins and for sure he is really talking about that particular thing.We would really be having that kind of mindset on where

we do really believe that there's something like a escape route for you to win up or some exploit or bug in code literally and might able to win the game.

Beating up the game or house is something we had been doing once we do step in ourselves neither on a physical or online one.

I'm pretty sure you're neighbor only said it for fun. Ngl when I read what he said, it made me have a good laugh, and honestly, it isn't all that weird when it comes to people who gamble or something similar of the sorts in types of games. Even in normal mmo's, or rpg games themselves, people that have this sort of wall blocking them from proceeding, especially at insane levels, often times have those moments like your neighbor where they want to break the code, all because of how immensely difficult the game is. In case of slots though, it's more like how unlucky they are instead. It's kind of like roleplaying ngl, and it's pretty fun if I do say so myself.

It's obviously the gambler against the code. Because he has gotten so engrossed that he tries hard to break the code and this would likeiy consume most of his time  since he is consistently calculating how to defeat the machine. it's very common to all gamblers because it's the same approach gamblers use in predicting their games

People develop all kind of superstitions and they attribute human like qualities to the things they cannot explain or understand, it is obvious that a slot machine works by making use of probabilities and does not care who is playing, but for the person using the slot machine this is personal especially if they have lost a significant amount of money in that machine, so they are trying to teach a lesson to that specific machine as a desire for revenge consumes them, it does not make sense to us but it does to them.

It sounds like your neighbor has great confidence in winning a lot of money from that machine. Actually I don't think that's the way to break the code, but sometime trusting it can bring huge profit with very little effort.

Yes, I love playing slots. But so far I have no way to play it on the machine because my country doesn't allow it. Maybe after covid is gone and I have the opportunity, then I will be happy to visit Malaysia to try playing on the slots machine while filling my vacation time.

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.

I don't understand by "breaking the code", but it seems that he is giving life to that slot machine. And obviously, it is an inanimate object, so there's no such thing as breaking it. The "code", the way as I understand it is the program, either machine (processor) or software (programming language).

And I don't think that someone can break it because as we all know, it's random, whether you hit the jackpot or always got the "near miss".

Since it is a million years ago you never know whether he was really talking to the machine   . May be he is to obsessed to win somehow as he already spent a lot of money in it and waiting to win the jackpot finally.

I do play slots once in a while and i am not playing to win big or break the code, i play it for fun and once you spend time for sometime you get bored and then i move on.

There are computer programmers who bought used slot machines. Reverse engineered the hardware and software. And used the data collected to cheat with slot machines in vegas. Maybe back in the 1980s, before casinos knew gaming slot machines was possible.

It might be a little late for "breaking the code" today. Casinos are aware of it being possible and security is on the watch for cheats. Some machines are coded so that a big winner can only occur on a certain date of the year, at a certain time, if the lever is pulled on a specific second. That's the type of accuracy it takes win big on slots. The odds and probability of a big win are so astronomically slim. That time and energy would usually be better spent elsewhere imo.
