annoyance will arise when experiencing what OP told, but this is where the importance of good self-control will play a role, I myself, if I experience what OP experienced, I will stop because there is a possibility that there will be annoyance that can make me lose control of myself and besides that I myself am a person who does not want to take risks when it comes to gambling, so prevention is better than cure. although maybe if I return to betting I can win but I'm not sure everything will go well. so minimizing the risk depends on ourselves. not extending the gambling session is a good thing, because it will make everything okay. we know that winning in gambling is not easy to get so the choice is ours, moreover when winning or losing extending the gambling session is not the right action in my opinion, there are times when we are emotional and if we fail to control ourselves this can make us fall deeper into gambling like being trapped in a cycle of addiction.

Well you are right , self-control play a vital role in gambling, which may help to minimize losses when gambling. Because we all are aware that losses cannot be avoided or neglected, but one can manage his losses by having a good self-control. This the thing most gamblers lacks in this space that's why there are alot of sad stories how one lose a certain huge amount  amount of money, for instance one would have lose only just small amount of money but due to not knowing when to stop .

Self control is what really needed on here and this is something that will really be that hard on someone to do in the middle of gambling sessions or something a game that you are really that getting used to.
If it turns out that gambling is already that boring or something that it is already that making those huge loses then it would really be just that  right or worth for you to stop.

Quitting or stopping? This might sounds easy but when you are already on such situation or condition then it would really be that so hard to do so. This is where there are people
who could be able to do it but majority will really be failing on this one. We do know on how addictive slots is and it up to you whether you would really be that continuing
or not because the situation you are into will really be just that basing up into the decisions that you are making.

Talking about self-control, it is a fact that even though it is a skill that is recommended for a gambler to have, saying it will always be much easier than implementing it in your approach to gambling, as well as quitting at the right time, it will be one of those things that is also easy to say but hard to do.

As you may believe that it is not easy to do such actions as controlling yourself or quitting at the right time, and usually the majority of gamblers will only quit or quit when they have run out of everything especially in slot games, but actually you will not be one of them if you have known from the start that the dealer will always win and also when you understand that winning always depends on luck.

Gambling is not something that can work for everyone, some people have to lose for others to profits therefore if you notice that you are the one always losing, you have to stop gambling because you are the one giving others your money while they make profits.

Gambling is made up of zero-sum games like poker. With a great skill, quitting gambling is the last thing a poker player wants to do; he wins at other player's expense. Unfortunate slot players get what they get in gambling; losses. So, slot players, need to smarten up, or give gambling a break. Smartening up in the sense that they need to advance in skill-based games, be a bit in control of the game, and feast on weaker players. Subsequently, their hard work will bear fruit.

Yesterday I decide to have a slots session, and it wasn't even fun. I made a $100 depo and start playing on my favorite slot game Nitropolis 4 from ELK

Most of the spins where dead spins with $2 bets, when I lose all my balance I made another $100 depo. And again some bad rolls until I hit the bonus, on that bonus I win $30 before the bonus started a $0 from the 8 free spins.

After that experience it leves a bad taste, I didn't enjoy the session, and feels like a rigged game.

Had anyone here had an experience like that and think about quit playing slots?

The best thing to do is to mind the way you gamble with your hard earned money, by avoiding the use of money you can't afford to lose because in gambling there isn't any guarantees one can lose his money any time and can also win if luck is on his side though, I guess that day wasn't your lucky day in the game and you went overboard with the money you use as stake . Because for instance it was money you could afford to lose you won't have felt that way you would have just take it as " it is what it is " and move on.
Once we are not making profits from a particular game, it is better we learn more about it especially the tricks we could be using to make fast profits for ourselves. Gambling is not just about trying our effort and when we don't get it right we relax and quit. One need to put mire work into it and see if we could start making some profits from ourselves without complaining of loses. If we tried and we are not making any reasonable money, we could switch to another game we can be betting on that could be giving us profits even though it's little. I believe that consistent can yield hold reward for us if we are steadfast without complaining everytime.

Slots just like every other casino games is quite unpredictable compared to sports betting, I have only played slots with free bets and i haven't made any Profit from it, casino games are not programmed to favour the gambler the house always wins no matter what. If you get lucky with it then I would advise you not to be playing it constantly otherwise you might lose everything you have.But if this game has done more harm than good I think you should just go ahead and quit to avoid more losses
right, I switched to sports betting which I think is simpler and can be said to see the ratio of losses and wins can be seen in terms of sports betting game management. different from slots this is very complicated because I have experienced running out of money because of playing slots from various games. why prefer sports, because it is simple and does not waste too much time for me

Because for instance it was money you could afford to lose you won't have felt that way you would have just take it as " it is what it is " and move on.

People do not consider what is working for them to know if they should stop or continue to do it, many gamblers are throwing away their hard earned money always because they want to make more money but they are doing it with a wrong mindset. Gambling is not something that can work for everyone, some people have to lose for others to profits therefore if you notice that you are the one always losing, you have to stop gambling because you are the one giving others your money while they make profits. Regardless of using the money that you can avoid to lose, you too have to look at things from the point that you are still losing money and stop gambling or change the games that you are playing because sometimes the games you are playing is what make you to lose and not because you are not lucky.
And that would really be giving out that kind of desperation on which on the time that you would really be having those things in mind on the moment that you would be playing neither slot games or other casino types then you would really be definitely continue on what you are doing just because the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how to make those strategies work on which we know that this cant
really be that easily to happen. Gambling should really be that for fun no matter what type of gambling you are dealing with, if you do find yourself not happy or entertained anymore, then why you cant just that simply stop? The wrong thing on which most people do commit out is that they are really that forcing things to work or simply continuing on something on which they do know that it isnt really that
enjoyable anymore plus having the tendency on losing even further. So its ideal to stop midway while things arent that still messed up.

Of course, because slots are one type of game that falls into the category of casino games that are basically random and do not have any track record that can be analyzed unlike sports betting, and this is why many people say that casino games are games that depend entirely on how lucky you are when running a session.
What you said is quite true that gambling is not programmed to benefit gamblers, and I think this applies to all types of gambling, because after all the purpose of casinos building gambling is to make a profit, so logically how can you make a profit in a place where the place makes you a target to continue to be drained? this is why we really need to think using common sense and rational thinking so that we do not misunderstand everything we face, and the point is that in any type of game limits are something that must be owned by gamblers.

But it's not usually this way on slots games, but you asking to  quit playing slot games I think it's a good decision to be on the safer sides so you know what you are working with, cause you ought to play or bet with the amounts you can afford to lose and not thinking of doubling it when you lose.
So when playing slots games or roulette or any of that you should play responsibly.

I’m on this point too in the past that I almost quit slot games because I never won any significant amount despite my continuous loss. I focus my attention on different which I excel like Blackjack then play slots occasionally but never focus on it.

All my struggle on slot games was lifted up by finding the right slot provider that give fair payout. I started with Play’n Go which is very good provider for newbie then try push gaming and hacksaw that gives me huge wins until now.

It’s about choosing the right provider for your game style.

This is my advice - if you have fun, play, if not - quit. I always play with the lowest amount of money and it's enough for me to have fun, I don't gamble with play money because I feel nothing when I play with that but a low amount of money still gives me some kind of mood elevation.
As I remember, you said in this thread that 200$ is the amount that you can afford to lose once a month. If you have fun, then do it or lower the budget to 100$. If you don't have fun and the loss makes you anxious or makes you feel guilty about your behaviour, then quit. I think this is not a bad advice.
I agree with you, because it is the amount allocated for the game that decides almost everything and many players cannot determine its size for themselves. I also bet small amounts and a small number of matches, this is enough for me. I am not going to win all the money in the world and I understand that you should be happy with even small victories. At the same time, huge amounts of money that try to tempt every player can simply drive them crazy. Often this happens because the player's inflated expectations of victory were not met, and instead he is offered to accept defeat. After this, the player can stop sleeping and just play until his deposit runs out to try to prove his case, but in fact he simply could not control himself.

I was feeling lucky today, almost 3 weeks later since the day that i created this thread, i haven't gambled until today. I made a $50 depo and this time had the chance to walk away with a profit. I end up with $180 profit, or 3 LTC. Was a nice run, and it was wise to take the money and walk away before getting greedy.

It was fun, but i still thinking that i should quit playing slots. I know if i didn't quit i would lose those $180 and the next deposit in a straight line. It was a wise move.
This is my advice - if you have fun, play, if not - quit. I always play with the lowest amount of money and it's enough for me to have fun, I don't gamble with play money because I feel nothing when I play with that but a low amount of money still gives me some kind of mood elevation.

Slot games always turns out to be this way and it's a huge loss to your end cause out of  your deposited bet you made, you end up doubling it by $100 and what did you get? I think you expected too much from the game and that's a more reason it turned out to be so, aside playing the game for fun you were expecting something huge to come out of it reason you deposited another $100.

But it's not usually this way on slots games, but you asking to  quit playing slot games I think it's a good decision to be on the safer sides so you know what you are working with, cause you ought to play or bet with the amounts you can afford to lose and not thinking of doubling it when you lose.

If we came to the point that we question ourselves if its good to continue or quit on gambling then follow the first one. Since its like you are giving an idea for yourself that you should quit because you are not happy anymore. Deciding to continue might give you a bad outcome.

I don't know if the first one you mean is choosing to continue or stop. Because in the next sentence you say that continuing might not be a good idea. Correct me if I'm wrong. I personally would choose the option of stopping gambling and that's usually what I would suggest to people when they come to me and I see that they are addicted to gambling. I think that addicted gamblers are actually not happy with their lives right now. And so far I have seen that giving addicted gamblers the option to continue by managing their emotions and finances is not as effective as advising them to stop gambling and enjoy their life.

Do not keep gambling if you already believe that it can't give you what you want, it means you are not into gambling for fun but for money only, then go out in the real world and apply for a job, because sadly gambling can't be fun if you aren't here for the fun part too, once things doesn't start to go your way you will start hating on the game.

Gambling is a norm for me, part of my weekly routine, something I do twice in a week with few dollars, it is not a must for me to win, and it is not a must for me to even gamble in the week, I do this when I see the extra money to use.

With better income you should be able to be a responsible gambler, it is more harder only when you don't have a source of income, if you don't like slots as a fun game you shouldn't be playing slots, that's all I have to say.

Usually I do not do or continue something that I think cannot give me what I want or what I expect and I prefer to stop everything, and maybe you can follow the way I do if you see that this idea makes sense.
Because why do we force everything that actually does more harm, I understand that maybe if at that time luck came then you would not make this topic, my friend, but yes this is gambling, joy and disappointment will come alternately.

In the end it depends on your own decision, and if I were in your position I might prefer to let go of everything that has been lost and switch to another type of bet that is not too aggressive in risk, but if you do choose to continue then I hope you do not carry any grudges regarding the loss you just experienced and also I hope you can have much better money management.

In gambling, you should not take it personally because it is all about luck when you go to games such as dice. Move on and don't get depressed when you lose. Much better if you are using your extra funds and not borrowed one.

If you take everything personal and think about that you can possibly earn a passive income with this, then there might be a chance that you will fall in addiction. This situation is bad since we know its like an end stage of our activities so for us not to all into this situation we must know that gambling is just for entertainment for us. If we win its fine, but also if we lose then we should not take it personally and move on then try again next time around if we are going to be lucky.

If we came to the point that we question ourselves if its good to continue or quit on gambling then follow the first one. Since its like you are giving an idea for yourself that you should quit because you are not happy anymore. Deciding to continue might give you a bad outcome.

I think that in life you shouldn't go to extremes, for example, completely give up gambling, or, on the contrary, play without stopping. All activities are good if you do them in moderation.
That's why I advise you not to give up habits completely, but only gradually reduce the time you spend on them. And until it's half an hour or an hour every couple of weeks. This is the limit I consider a good share of time spent on gambling. It's not much and addiction will definitely not appear.

I would say that in the case of gambling, the development of addiction is based not so much on the time spent playing, but on the pursuit of the desired result, where the goals are constantly shifting. This leads to the impossibility of stopping in time. And in time here does not mean finishing after a certain number of minutes or hours of playing, but refers to specifically recording the result obtained, be it a win or a loss.
