Topic: Should I quit playing slots? - page 7. (Read 2817 times)

Your friend should disregard the idea of having a breakthrough or hitting the jackpot at the next trial because, that seem more like the voice of addiction and irresponsible gambling. If he keeps up with such mindset, he's likely to get addicted in no time. The bitter truth about gambling is, if it's not your lucky day, it's not. No matter how hard you try or how long you play gambling, if it's not your lucky day, you'll still walk out of the casino with loses. If anyone gvkes with the mindset that luck is the only way they can win, then 50% of addiction problems would be settled, then all they need is to get disciplined and gamble for fun.

For me, I really think that it's not the slot game that it's OP's frustration, but  the amount he lost in it, he lacked real emotional control as at the time of playing that slot game and recorded such intolerable loses tho himself.

I think he should start off by learning to control his emotions in gambling and how to gamble in moderation, else even if he changes to other slot games, he would still release the same mistakes again and blame the new slot game for his excesses. It's a work he has to do on himself and not about the slot games he's playing. We still have people that play slot games in moderation and OP should learn to be one of them

In slot games everything is a matter of luck or meaning all wins depend on how lucky you are at that time, there is no skill that can be applied to increase the chances of winning because after all there is nothing that needs or can be analyzed in this type of game,
This means of course that the intention and purpose of earning income is certainly not recommended to be brought to this type of game, but maybe I would also say that even if you gamble with the intention of entertainment, it still does not guarantee that you will be able to get a big win.

The point and actually the intention and purpose to produce is always not recommended in any type of gambling, but also never think that gambling with the intention of entertainment will be able to bring you to victory, the point is whatever your goal, you will only be able to win when you are lucky especially in this type of slot game. On the other hand I understand that sports betting is more recommended because it can be analyzed, but you can't say that there is no luck there, because whatever type of bet it is, luck is still a factor that will always be a part of it, there are many cases that occur where a much stronger team turns out to be defeated by a team that is almost in the relegation zone, meaning that defeat is still very possible, and that's why I said above that the purpose of gambling to produce is always prohibited in any type of gambling you do.

You wrote everything correctly, but I want to add that in slots, a gambler does not use any of his unique skills. And this is wrong. The fact is that we get the maximum Profit where we use skills that are rarely found in other people. And this is the main reason why I do not play slots.
It is always best to develop personal talents.

That's the real experience of many gamblers who chase too much after winning, 1 unique fact that many gamblers feel, when we chase too much after winning, we'll be made even more devastated by all those spins, but when we play with the aim of entertainment, then we usually get big wins. There's a lot of gambling that ignores luck because it requires strategy or theories, such as sports betting.

If you're always looking for a win with every deposit you make on slots, you better stop playing slots immediately, because it will destroy you.

Maybe I would say that your assumption is quite correct in this case, and I also often say in some of my reviews that one of the keys to being able to survive in the long term from the various negative impacts of gambling is to have a proper understanding of what and how gambling actually is.

Basically, gambling is an activity that has risks, but actually the risk can be minimized when a gambler treats it in the right way, meaning that some people who are now experiencing many negative impacts caused by gambling are because they always treat gambling in the wrong way such as with an approach that is too impulsive, and this is done because from the start they do not have a proper understanding of what and how gambling actually is which ultimately makes them fall into a hole of depression.

A good enough behavior if you are not addicted to gambling, because we should be able to do gambling properly and avoid the element of addiction. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you'll want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of what you're doing and how you're doing it. The problem comes when they lose self-control when they have experienced defeat with the action taken is to deposit money back into gambling and experience defeat again and again.
I think everyone must have felt bad when they lost even if they were those whose main purpose of gambling was not to make money. because there is money that is lost and it becomes a right that sometimes it is annoying but we must be able to accept it because it has become a thing that must happen so naturally, what must be considered is not to put money back into gambling again and again it is not a solution when experiencing defeat.

The thing I have to tell you is that you should have a concrete understanding of any gambling game before you embark on it, because the major thing that made us to experience a lot of losses in gambling is due to lack of experience, I know quite well that gambling is a game of luck and fortunately you might be lucky enough to win a game unexpectedly,  so when you get loss of gambling know that gambling is all about risks,.

For some player, the triggering factor to think to stop playing slots is not the amount of money lost but rather the feeling of not getting entertained anymore.  Remember some players play for some pleasure or entertainment and for them, as long as they have free funds to spend, they don't mind losing much money as long as the game serves its purpose.  In case of @OP, he was frustrated on a certain game not the entirety of slot games.  So I stated that stopping to play slots is all on his decision and at the same time suggesting him to try other slot games.  If his feeling of have a bad taste after his session, then I believe it is time for him to pause playing slots for sometime, and think whether to firmly stop playing slots at all.


This I highly agree, a person must have a plan on how to play his funds.  Bankroll management is one key factor to make one gambling experience not so frustrating and is best in moderating losses since the gambler will know when to stop or continue base on the flow of his bankroll fund.

In slots you can choose the bet size and bet thousands of dollars per minute. The point is not how much you lose per game session (this depends on the player and he can increase the bets both in sports betting and in slots) but whether the money and time spent are worth the pleasure received. Slots occupy a large niche in gambling, which means that a lot of people like them (I don't like them at all).

Actually, what you suggest is quite late, it should stop when not too much money has been spent on slots and there is financial management that needs to be done.

But when too much money has been used, usually people who are too addicted will not be able to stop easily, they will continue to play with any money.
This will increase their stress and be more likely to continue playing and take revenge for the defeat that has already occurred.

So management and control from the beginning before the game starts it needs to be done, don't wait when everything gets very detrimental.

I don't get it, what slots are you referring to? As far as I know, there are no slots where you can rely on something else other than luck because all slots games are based on luck since the results are randomly generated using RNGs. How can you not entirely rely on luck for some slot games?

That's the reason, they are attractive, the gameplay of slot games is usually enjoyable and engaging which attracts more and more gamblers towards it, and most importantly, slots provide gamblers with the opportunity to hit extremely high multipliers and this is also one of the biggest factors why so many gamblers are into slots even when they are constantly losing, they don't stop because they hope they can get a big win and recover everything some day.

I also discovered that there are some slot games that are for time wasting and  there is no good profit. And when you discovered that the game is not making any progress in your gaming time then you have to change the slot game and look for good ones to play. Aha!!! $10 for hours, that is real waste of time. I will term it unfruitful gambling time.

I will advise the Op to check another the casino and play around some other games to see if he can like other games to play.

I support you because seeking for the opinions of others for something that does not concern them is not always the best idea, you will only get bad advice when you ask because they will be giving you advice based on what they feel and it has nothing to do with what you feel. In this situation, you are the one losing therefore if you do not find success with slot games you have to stop playing them and try to play other games until you find a new game that you can win. There are many games you can play when gambling therefore your options should not be limited to just slot games. You might like it but what is not giving you success should not be continued unless OP was just gambling for fun but that is not what is happening as the OP would not be complained if OP was just gambling for fun.

It doesn't matter about the martingale calculation applied in slots gambling, because in the end you will only keep losing. Because after all, this slot game basically has a setting that will only benefit the house, the fact is that there are more people who get losses than wins. Indeed, some influential people make bets with winnings and or also make advertisements that show winnings. But anyway, the reality is that it's also just about their tricks to get more people betting on their platform.

So yes, the point is keep doing it if you can and are able to control anger and or disappointment about losing in gambling, but please stop when you are unable to control the sense of disappointment that you have experienced in slot gambling. Because anyway, as far as I know from the people around also that they make deposits more often than withdrawals.

Yes, because now this type of slot game really only takes a short time to become a popular type of gambling, especially in my country where all groups are involved in it, including children who are still minors, and I am sure that one of the reasons why this type of game is popular with people is because it is very easy to access and adapt to the various games provided by the casino in it, so this is like a combination of a type of game that is easy to understand with high hopes of multiplying the money they bring, but of course, no matter how high your hopes and beliefs are in gambling, it will not always be able to change the results at the end of the game.

Because risk will always be a part and will always lurk at all times, there are no significant results with just a little effort, gambling is an activity that depends on luck, meaning there is no element of consistency at all in terms of achieving results that match expectations. On the other hand, recently I also saw a news show where someone hanged himself from a tree on a plantation where it was found by a farmer, and from the results of the investigation it is suspected that the person was in debt because he lost around $ 20k in a type of slot game, very sad. That's why we always say everything that leads to prevention, gambling is not a place to change fate, this is nothing more than a playground when you are bored, understanding and awareness must always be prioritized for everything you find.

Stop can be something temporary or permanently, so of course it will be depending on ourselves on what to decide.
I am as slot players, some time I stop temporarily when I feel that I am in a bad luck with slots (especially after bad result in few different slots).
Then I'll come back once I feel better after the bad losing streak, taking a break is must on everything we do in this life including gambling.
All in all, slots sometime can be a friendly game but on the other time it can be a very hungry game which will eat our money quickly.

Yes, I agree with your idea that actually defeat is not a situation that can encourage a gambler to make a decision, especially one that leads to various actions that tend to be impulsive due to the inability to accept risks, stopping at the right time will always be the best, but it's all up to you, as long as you can control yourself and only deposit a small amount without any increased emotions in the situation such as a losing situation, then please continue if you want, but of course while maintaining your awareness so that everything can remain measurable. Basically, all forms of prevention are the best, especially in an activity that has the potential to trigger significant risks, and overall I believe that all forms of prevention will most likely only be able to be done by gamblers who are aware from the start of the dangers of the impact of the activity.

As simple as that,right? If you do find out that playing slots or any game or gambling turns out to be stressful. Gambling should really be that entertaining or something that you could enjoy
and if you are on such condition that you are experiencing the other way around then its just right that you should quit or stop. It would really be just that needed for you to have that
common sense whether you would really be that making up such decision or not. Gambling should really be that entertaining and if it gives out opposite then quitting would be the solution.
Never ever tolerate such kind of impulsive approach or action on which this could really be causing up to make things even more worst. It is really that needed up for you to act the right way.

I'm not that addicted to gambling, to be honest, the session that i described on this topic was my last gambling session, after that, i didn't bet more, only played a free roll on Sunday but my AK got busted against QQ. But not risking money on the way.

I'm still having a bad flavor about that slot session, and gambling is not to end that way, maybe it will take me 1 or 2 months to decide to come back to that casino.
