Topic: Skill Based Slot Machines - page 2. (Read 997 times)

As far as we know, that slot machine games are included in the type of game based on pure luck. even so, there are many methods that we believe in with the various techniques we use to get the desired results. but so far, it's not really proven. in fact, all of that is a mere myth even though many gamblers still believe in it. in this thread, we are given an article link that contains luck-based slot machines. well, actually the source of the article was written 2021 ago. it's just, we just heard about it.

Despite all that, what @Viscore said is quite reasonable. related to his statement that said, maybe this is just a casino strategy. but in fact, we have not had a single claim from the casino to date that it is reported that they have a skill-based slot machine innovation. Or maybe, we don't have that information.

Well, and I also agree with what you said @decodx. it is very clear, that slot game developers design in such a way as to entice gamblers with concepts that are new, unique, and captivating. and all aimed at entertainment for us gamblers. which in essence, whatever innovation they develop, be it luck-based or skill-based, basically everything boils down to the business that the casino runs. so, it's only natural that they offer something interesting for connoisseurs of slot machines, apart from the profits they get

It's more thrilling and exciting if we don't know the outcome of the game than if we already know the results. There is no challenge in it. It's boring although the good thing is we can earn a profit but if you are already wealthy, you can care less about the money. There's also poor people who doesn't praise money that much. For them, there are other things which are more important than it. Gambling is meant to entertain us, not to give us a stress.

Most of us are already working for longer hours and we don't want to add more work by analyzing and creating a strategy only to win on this skill-based slot games. Many old person are weak and they can not think critically anymore. If you are one of it then yes, don't bother changing your style.

I think almost every single player that plays at slots machines would like the traditional features of a slot where you make a spin and wait to see what your luck has brought you and the joy of getting a big win or hitting a very high multiplier takes you to a totally different world, but honestly, I don't mind having another feature in a game where I can multiply my chances of winning.

I mean, what's wrong with a slot machine with all its traditional features but having an extra layer of fun as a bonus round that requires you to showcase your skills and get more chances or spins or whatever it has got to offer?

This is what I also think. Slot machines should always be a game of luck which is based on unpredictable nature. Also, I think casinos would be in the middle since there has been some market of these skill based machines but I think majority of people engaging in gambling would prefer the traditional way of gambling that is unpredictable. It could also be intimidating to some since it would require more game mechanics rather than the simpler way of traditional slot machines. But it is a great concept to think since there would be way to increase your chances of winning through these skill based slot machines. It might not be for everyone but it has potential to attract some customers since even me is intrigued on these new concepts regarding slot machines.

I play slot because of its randomness, it unpredictability. And purely because of it's luck factor. I am consider myself as a luck person so some extent. Skill based slots sounds boring and like a lot of work to me. As an oldie, II am not going to change my ways because if you consider it critically, you would see that traditional slots wins at the end of the day.

Yes, casinos will use a lot of strategies to be able to keep players playing gambling at their casinos. Perhaps, the casino will provide other attractive offers so that players will think this is a good time to continue gambling even though it does not guarantee they can win. And these players will also think that they can use special strategies to help them win, even though playing slot games requires luck. And only the wise gambler who understands this will not be tempted by the many attractive offers from the casinos.

I think you're missing the point here. I don't believe that the aim of casinos or slot game developers is to mislead players, but rather to lure them with new, unique and captivating concepts. While it's true that slots are primarily based on luck, introducing new gameplay mechanics and features can make the experience more exciting for players. In fact, some players may even develop their own strategies or preferences when playing slots. It's important to remember that casinos are businesses, and their goal is to make a profit. If introducing new slot game features and mechanics can help attract more players and increase revenue, then it makes sense for them to do so.

I think you do not quite understand how wide the choice of action appears in a gambler in addition to our usual choice of lines and bets.

Imagine the combat system of the role-playing computer game Fallout. When playing the traditional slots your fight is in automatic mode, but as I understand it, in these slots in the battle you get to choose which weapon and in what part to hit, when to use the cure, and when to defend. Naturally, when you get some experience in this game, you will know all the vulnerabilities of your opponents, so the probability of winning will increase.

Wish you could elaborate more on that though. Coz as it stands today I can't really think of any other way you can further involve the gambler that's playing slots in the game other than the pull the crank system that it currently operates in. You can argue that the use of "skills" (which I still think is a dirty move from these slots machine operators) is one way to exemplify but on the grand scale of things, these "skills" are nothing but bonuses painted in gold. They don't amp your winning chances, they don't provide the gambler with the ability to externally control the outcome of his game by giving him the agency on his wins, nada. So if you could explain to me how these slot machines in Malta do so, or at least link back with an article, that would be much appreciated!

That casino will lose the trust of their players, they cannot say that you can use your skill when all along its a luck based, and worse players will file a complaint for deceiving them, it's better for casinos not to promote their slot as a skill-based casino when it's not, if the casino is reputable and with a good features and stable they need not resort to deception, players are more comfortable playing in casinos they trust.

Probably, this is just another strategy of the casinos so that players will be more tempted to play slots and would be somehow deceived that it’s not anymore a game of pure luck but certainly all about skills too. Beginners might believe on this and manage to play but lose more, but for long time gamblers they will never see slots that will increase your winning chances but still a game of pure luck that will only make you lose if you’re not lucky enough.

Some gambling houses make them feel and realize that there is skill involved in slot based games and therefore they want the gamblers to focus more on Slot games thinking it is the skill that can make them win. Usually, gamblers know that all gambling games are luck based, and they quit games if they are on losing track thinking their luck is not with them for the day. However, by declaring slot is skill based game, gamblers might keep on trying the slot games despite losing them and thinking they may win the next game because of their skill.

In other words, we should not expect that a considered skill-based slot machine will really have the same approach as what a skill-based game is supposed to be. It's hard to apply skills in a considered gambling type that is really known as a luck-based game.

In luck-based games, the skill that should be applied is how to manage properly our bankroll to lasts for a long run.

That also includes the ability to fight temptation to continue more once winning a decent amount on the way.

Even the traditional slot machines requires personal skills to win, If not how would they have made up a skill based slot machine. Slot machines relies on the player's ability to make decisions. We all know that no specific means of determining what actually works in slot machines exists, but finding a malfunctioning slot machine is also a skill to win the house and gain top profits. I read through the article and it wasn't sure what kind of skill they talked about if not giving out bonus to the player to try luck in form of skills. I think the bonus is the only difference between the traditional slot machine and skilled based slot machines since it's not 100% sure that the player in skilled based machine would win, similar to the traditional based machines it's not guaranteed that the player would lose completely because they're playing on traditional machines.

Though there's incomplete information as to how it basically works, it is said that a skill-based slots machine will have a bonus round where a player can play a certain game that requires you to make a score or something which probably depends on how good you can be at the game, so that is considered being a skill-based game.

Now, the unanswered question that everyone has is how that increases the chances of the player to win more in the slots itself out of that bonus round, and I believe we can only know that if we witness it ourselves.

Money management could be considered a kind of skill when playing slots, you don't want to run out before you have achieved a big win but its easy to do so.   Maybe my call of skill equates to superstition not sure but ideally you bet a larger amount when with a good chance of winning and only smaller amounts when just turning over the slot waiting for the bonus to trigger or similar payouts.  Mix the two up and you can run out of money just as it will pay, I used to know a barman who did this and waited till the player left and collected back the money they had paid in as he knew when it was ready to pay.

No matter  how the games come from slot machines then it's basically based on luck and I love the fact that people with special skills are given the opportunity to showcase their skills and that will always make people want to get more advance with the game.
People would want to make this game more competitive and that is already an added advantage for the casino and slot machines.

Does it even really matter?
Being given a chance to gamble again on a skill-based slot doesn't give an assurance that the game cuts; it's simply an insentive to play again, that's it.
The RGN isn't really favourable on the other hand yunno.... Cus don't nobody wants to keep doing the same thing over and over again, with different outcome but the same results..no one!! It's made too random that a win is not even guaranteed in a RARE case. I'd even prefer playing in real casino houses,..I'm just thinking it's built with a less level of sentiments

I read in an article that in Malta in land-based casinos have established a lot of slots in which the gambler is much more involved in the process of gambling than in our usual slots.  I, like many others have not yet experienced such slots, but I would love to try to play when I will have the opportunity.

This might be interesting I think but sadly, I have never experienced something like this in the casino I mostly played. But if this really exists, surely this will available hopefully soon in land-based casinos but I have hard time understanding on how this skill based slot machines might work knowing as much as slot games are concern, it’s only purely luck and no skills involved. But we’ll get to know more this if this already available in local casinos.
