Topic: Should I quit playing slots? - page 9. (Read 2817 times)

Among casino games, slots have the most work put in them for programming and animation, however all these attractive features also come at the expense of the player. First of all slots have to make their money back, but also remain profitable so long as they're hosted still. Often also they have to even pay royalties as they use third party copyrighted characters.

So in reality yes slots are not that good for the long term. They're enjoyable but also they're easy to lose a lot of money to because that's exactly what they were designed for. So be careful with them and play with care. As you would responsible with any other gambling game, you have to be doubly careful with them.

In sports betting, the bookmaker's advantage is 4-8% and in slots, the casino's advantage is 5-10%. I don't think you can feel this difference during the game and the chances of winning are the same in both slots and bets. Another thing is that in slots, you can easily make 200-300 bets per hour and this significantly increases your chances of losing everything in one gaming session. To make such a number of bets in betting, you must be a master of live betting with very fast Internet and hands 

This is actually the beginning of problems that will occur in the future. Confidence is not wrong at all, but if self-confidence is excessive and can eliminate all our memories of the defeats we have experienced, then it becomes something bad. We must be able to measure where we should have self-confidence and where we don't need to spend it. Because if we only follow self-confidence, it is the same as contradicting the principle of gambling which is very dependent on luck.
I prefer gamblers who consider victory as a bonus that they get. Because if it is like that, it means they understand that they will not be able to pursue victory because victory will only come when we are lucky. Likewise, when experiencing defeat, they will know that they must stop quickly when they lose, because even if we pursue that defeat, it will lead us to the next defeat.

Yes, that is the mindset and actions of gamblers who from the start do not understand the concept of gambling, they do not know what the activity is really about so they think like you said that the casino is cheating when they experience a losing streak.

Thinking about upholding justice is a mindset that will ultimately only waste more time, money and disappointment, because in any case, defeat will always be part of the game where of course you will never be able to return to break even or achieve recovery.

So I think there is no other way to save them other than understanding that there is indeed a chance but also by realizing that defeat is part of the game and also as you said, admitting that the casino will never allow gamblers to succeed in breaking even, therefore, this is why responsible gambling must always be upheld.

Sports betting can be a good form of entertainment because of the easy winning opportunities. Because the most fun in gambling is when there is a chance to win. But gambling is not only sports but there are other games that are very fun.  But talking about slots games, even though they are fun, there are many risks here. And most gamblers fall into depression due to unexpected losses from slots games. So if you don't have the ability to accept losses, it is better not to play slots games. And in the case of other gambling games as well, only as much money as you can afford to lose should be used there

Sports betting is a top choice for entertainment and adrenaline because compared to slots you have a much longer waiting period for the result and during this period the outcome becomes more likely (if the team you bet on is doing well) or less likely and this volatility is really exciting. Slots are boring: you place a bet and find out the result, despite additional tricks like animation that happens before the result appears, it doesn’t change anything.

That's how RTP works, the engine is made that way to make the house always win, with probably the house can lose if they had bad luck, i mean a x999 on Plinko can happen back to back, i have seen that in the past and it's pure luck, but with RTP the slots game will eat enough before paying back to the users. That's how they are coded and that's why we can't verify our rolls or choose our user seed.


That was a nice x750, My biggest in slots was x600 with $1 bet, it was a lucky bet but take me a lot of tries to get a win like that, no one says it would be easy to win huge.

Naturally loses will leave you in a bad taste and make whatever you're doing to be boring including slot games. If you're finding it to be boring then you can take a break from it for as long as you want, you can decide to come back and try it again, if it still sucks for you then you can quit. Good thing that there are other games in casinos, if one doesn't give satisfaction then take a break or quit from it.

From my observation, sports bet is gaining more attention because it's less boring and it's not like slot and other casino games where you're entirely at the mercy of luck. In sports bets you'll atleast get to analyze matches and do some speculations which is very different from most casino games that you cannot analyze.

This is the way of thinking of problem gamblers. They start with small losses, and then there is a bitter loss. And such a gambler seeks to restore justice, thinking that the casino has cleaned out his pockets. And then he bets more and more, but this only digs a hole for himself.
And from such actions the debt only increases like a snowball, and the problem is best solved by admitting that the casino will not let the gambler return all his money.

It is assumed that ideally, we feel more fun and excited when we games and are lucky to secure some profits or better we take back out stakes.

Loosing furiously definitely on tons of amount by which it seems a huge lost to us usually ruins the games like it does not at all have no excitement features.

Sometimes we could even feel grudge for the game makers just because we are unable to secure some profits or bonus winning.

Sometimes the hope of a big win makes someone continue to gamble, obscuring the losses they have experienced, and putting themselves in a more difficult situation financially. There is always a grudge to get back the money that has been lost, and often the circle of friends encourages not to stop, even though financially we are no longer able. In my opinion, we must be honest with ourselves without having to care too much about other people opinions, whether we want to decide to stop temporarily or permanently from all forms of gambling. I am sure that many gamblers will continue their gambling activities if their finances are stable, because they gamble for fun, winning is a bonus and does not change their views on gambling. However, it all comes back to each person principles, gambling advice is sometimes just words, and many people want risk to always be in their lives.

Sometimes it goes like that, I often get free spins but unfortunately when I don't get lucky it will be wasted and don't get anything from the gambling that is done, even making several deposits to fulfill the previous session, I think indeed at that time he was experiencing frustration that lost $ 200 from the slot game he played, sometimes thinking that maybe I made a mistake when gambling, it could be because the time is not right to play slots.

True, sometimes I also this casino is stealing money from me and or unfair because it doesn't give any winnings even on free spins, it becomes a burden of thought that makes negative towards the casino, but yes, the name of the slot is a game based on luck, we don't know when we are lucky and don't know when we lose our money continuously, so it is very important to use small money in playing slots, don't even have the ambition to return money, it will make us more sick when it happens like that.

If we feel that we can no longer continue, then if we can stop, I think it can be done. There are many things that will underlie someone starting to think about stopping gambling, one of which is that they have experienced too many defeats, so they start to decide to stop gambling.
I often hear those words, they say "If you don't want to take risks, then we will never know what will happen in the future, we could win a very large amount". Maybe those words look different, but in terms of meaning I can say they have the same meaning. I suggest never listening to what other people say, especially if those words can lead us to even greater losses. It's different when those words are in the form of advice such as having to know our limits while gambling and so on.
I see there are several types of people, the first is someone who wants to lead us astray, and the second is someone who cares about us. So not everything that other people say we have to listen to.

I think before he made this decision he's had a lot of losses, there are good and bad days I totally agree with that, but what if the bad days outweighs the good days..a friend of mine once said "don't stop gambling cause your next trial might be your next recovery or breakthrough" and that mindset has made him lose a lot of money.. personally I don't play slots  cause I don't really like it but I play other games like aviator and I've had terrible experiences, sometimes giving up on what isn't profitable is a start to new journey in life

Friend seoincorporation, when we have such a bad session it is normal to wonder if it is rigged, but slots are precisely the ones that least need to be rigged to be profitable for the casino, both in land-based and online casinos. So don't eat your head off, and if it makes you feel bad, yes, give up slots, at least for a while.


I think the maximum I've won playing $0.2 slots is about $150 but you probably have more experience than me.

That's why slot games can makes people feels exciting when they playing some slot games. The manual spin or autospin can makes people lose controls especially when they lose some money and wants to recover their lose. We may have experienced of losing much money for playing slot games and makes us sad but that doesn't mean we will stay away from slot game because slot game is one of our favorites gambling games.

If we can't control ourselves, we can use more and more money to playing slot games and that's why many people lose their big money in slot games. Not to mention about Bonus Buy feature that available on some slot provider because that can cause us lose the money faster than we can thinks. Playing slot game in our spare time can be an option but we must have strong control over ourselves if we don't want to lose much money.

Actually, we can pause ourselves from playing slot games so we can check what is going on with us. We can check our balance after playing slot game for some time and if we see our balance is reduce a lot, we must stops from playing slot game immediately. That can cause use spend our balance at one day without thinks that we actually can save our money for other days to playing gambling games.

We will not thinks much about stopping playing slot game because the tension will increase and makes us forget to control ourselves. If we gets a scatter, that will makes us curious and will trying to catch that in the next rounds. That will no doubt if many people hard to control themselves from playing slot games because the game is fun and easy to play. We only need to place the bet we wants and start to press the spin button.

That's normal if you have bad experience on playing slots because many people have the same thing too. The different is when people realizes their lose and wants to reduce the lose so they will start to limits themselves when playing slot games and other gambling games. That's the only thing that they can do when playing gambling because that will helps them to reduce their losses not to becomes bigger.

Slot game giving an exciting moment to us especially if we wins for some money. That makes us wants to win more and more and makes many people forgets about the limitation that they set before. But if a gambler can be wise when playing gambling, they will not trying to deposit too big money if their reason to playing slot game because they will know that can cause them lose all of the money and they will difficult to recover their losses. Playing slot games will depends on our luck so we must be careful.

I think most gamblers definitely have feelings about the slots they like, and that's normal and I don't think it's a problem either. But the problem is when gambling is excessive. Of course, when gambling is out of control, then what should be done is to stop and get away from gambling. Because gambling can be addictive and if you are addicted, it tends to be addictive, this is what must be avoided by having set limits and the awareness that gambling is a game of probability and luck might help.

That's what needs to be fixed, don't think too much about being able to get a big win or jackpot, because not everyone who gambles can get a jackpot. Even though we are sure it doesn't guarantee it, besides being too confident can also lead us to addiction which can make us lose control so that what happens is losing more money. That is not a goal, unless you are ready for the risks that will occur, then just do it, but I think many people who gamble are not ready for this so it is not strange that problems often occur such as stress due to losing a lot of money.

Well, it's strange that someone who has experience makes that comment,OP,  slots have that, losing, a slot is to hit the 'jackpot'* and that's it, then! after hit multiplier*  it tells you, if you recover profits or you keep spinning,  it's simple.

Then, your return capacity depends on the size of the bet, which in reality that bet size is measured in your ability to return to play.

I have recovered losses in slots as in the 400th spin, and it doesn't always happen in my game section.

In practice, $400 works well for a bet size of $0.2.

You know that for games like this, it's always programmed with the house edge been on the high side such that they would want to seize every opportunity to make out the most from your participation in the game and so they will not hesitate to making sure they make all the money when they see higher stakes and reduce the chances but will keep it at average so any other person can participate with minimum amount as they know that such is usually too small to make good profit from within he shortest period of time.

what you don't understand is that these casinos don't just offer you free spins for no reason; it's like a sort of compensation for your loss unduly. They system is programmed to not let you get discouraged by losing everything in a blink.. however, the free spins ain't coming with bigger fortunes than your loss, unless in rare occasions - especially in alot games.

you're not the first to see slot games as rigged; mind you, everything depends on the casino in question... Also, slot games are really based on how lucky you can be, so I'd advice you to quit if it's not working for you instead of wasting your resources.
