Okay, this is just dumb, yes it indicated that bonus rounds that depend on skill exist, but what skill? What are the specifics or rules/laws behind the bonus round itself? Other than specifying that it was a "skill-based" kind, nothing else appeared. There are a LOT of things that a "skill-based" indication covers. Honestly would have liked it better if it elaborated more on what criteria they choose on "skill-based", or at least, specify what it actually is for some examples.
In my own assumption though, I reckon skill-based means something similar to games provided in arcades? Since it's probably by far the easiest to implement in land-based casinos. If you're a fan of arcades, you'd probably know about fighting booths, rhythm ones, or even the most simplest ones similar to Mario or Tetris. If it was like that then it is rather interesting.

I have never tried it and don't even know what a skill based slot machine is like because as far as I know, slot games are just luck based. And if you are unlucky, you lose. But if something could offer the perks of getting a spin bonus like @OP said, I suspect some gamblers are willing to try it. Gamblers will always look for something new that can provide an opportunity to win from gambling because they have often experienced defeat. Since I didn't know the type of skill-based slot machine yet, I still favored the traditional slots found in online casinos.
I don't also want to go too deep with that. Slots are better to remain as luck based and if there have been some changes made by the slots providers or any developer to make it just as skilled based game, I don't think that it will click. There's already the belief that it's a luck based game and that's the fun starts. I have not known any casinos that do have it but if there's the reinvention on this, those who wants to try, may try it if that's what you want. I'll just stick to what I've used to.
They have the name Skill added to it but I don't see any skill can be applied on the slot to win the game, its just another round of spin so the chance matters here so its still zero skill and pure luck when it comes to slot. I think they use it to trick players by giving an extra round where the results are still going to be random and no skill to be applied with it.
There's no skill involved when you do pull out that level or pushing that roll button on which there's no way that you could be able to apply any strategy into it.This is why its not really that something possible to have this kind of skill based slot machine.If ever there's one would be created then i would be curious on how it would really be applied and it would be somewhat interesting if ever this one is possible.I cant really think off on how this thing could really be that possible considering that slots are code generated and each roll is really something that it is really that totally random.
There's no way you could apply any tactics or ways on increasing your winning chance.
Today I am reading about skill based slot machines which is very popular among millennials. This is the first time I am reading this in my life as a gambler. All that I have known about slot machines is that the outcome is purely based on luck1 as a result of the Random number Generator (RGN). From what I read, the major difference between this skill based slot machines and the regular/traditional ones we know is that there is a bonus round for the players to2 display their skills which gives them a greater chance of winning. Despite this, the odds are still stacked up against the player.
Has anyone here tried it out?
Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?
I guess that I already heard this before but still thanks for bringing this up again. This is a great awareness for others who didn't know this yet. If I were to choose I think I will still go with the classic slots or those slots who are based on luck because I am not really that skillful.Has anyone here tried it out?

The odds are still stacked up against the players because most of the games are still based on luck and I think in a skill based slot game, the bonus round is much harder to trigger because there are players who are skillful and have prepared for it to gain an advantage. In crypto, there must be slot games who don't use RNG but uses a provably fair system and other blockchain/crypto related tools to identify a result. I also prefer these as I think they are more trusted.

I looks good like a idea but in reality it won't work. There is no serious casino which will take this in consideration when they don't have fixed margin of profit. Also as I have heard regulation around gambling are very strict so it will hard in general to implement this.
OP isn't talking about whether or not skill based slot machines are going to be implemented. There are skill based slot machines in some Las Vegas casinos right now, so implementation won't be a problem.
I don't know anything about skill based slots, here's what I get from the first article that appeared on Google search results.
Quote
A key element of skill-based machines, and what differentiates them from traditional slot machines, is customers aren’t playing against the machine (or a dealer), they’re playing against each other. The outcome is based upon skill, rather than chance alone.
It seems that such slot machines are player vs. player which can be quite entertaining. I prefer playing against other gamblers, rather than sitting in front of a slot machine and trying to win the jackpot. Unfortunately, there aren't any skill based slot machines in my country.
Maybe they will be imported in the future.
Another thing is that the millennials aren't the most active players. The older hardcore slots players are more active on skill based slots than the millennials.
I think idea definitely looks good in theory if truly increases your chances somehow. But its still hard to claim as skill based opportunity. Increased chance does mean you only manipulate random number generator behind device. Its still decided by algorithm. There should be some way to clearly influence your chances. Like pushing a button to increase your chance to hit certain shapes in game etc. I find it bit complicated so. Traditional slot machines work for years. People would like bonus rounds but marketing these as skill based wouldn't be accurate.

This is the first time I've heard of this skill-based slot machine model and I thought it was a very interesting model to try. From the explanation I got from the website that you provided, this model allows users to be able to maximize their profits "Skill-based slot machines deliver you the chance of working yourself and apply some skills to boost your profit rapidly." This is the first time I've heard of this type of gambling. No wonder it's popular among young people because this model can be very profitable for them. But I doubt that this model will be implemented in many casino platforms because profit margins can be quite small for casino platforms.
Casinos pay the bills with slots period. I don't see "skill based slots" being profitable for a casino, so I doubt many casinos would put them on their floor. Same goes for the online casinos, they just wouldn't bring the money that normal slots bring.
There's a house edge for a reason.

As I understand it, it will still be a game of long term negative return for the player, but the skill will be able to give him a higher RTP.

Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?
I prefer the traditional one, as I haven't tried the other one yet. I didn't know anything about it, but I'm curious about it, and I'll try it as soon as I get the chance.
I looks good like a idea but in reality it won't work. There is no serious casino which will take this in consideration when they don't have fixed margin of profit. Also as I have heard regulation around gambling are very strict so it will hard in general to implement this.
Next time you'd better stop and read instead of writing the first nonsense that pops into your head.
Skill based slots — that sounds funny, nonetheless I would play wherever there is better chance for me to make profit, so ofc this one. Not sure if this thingy is available anywhere online.
I have only played traditional slots, manual and online. I am not really familiar with skill-based slots but I think both the traditional slots and this new skill-based slots are still largely based on luck. I don't exactly know what skill is involved but this is only provided in a bonus round, just an extra round of a game which is still luck-based overall. And even if the odds will improve if you are winning these skill-based bonus rounds, they remain to be in favor of the casino.
I think I have heard about these ones before on TV, but I have personally never seen one.
I guess the standard is leaning to fully luck based gambling, for several reasons.
Also, I assume that skill based slots would be more difficult to program as provably fair and the boost provided by the skills of the gambler are not even noticeable anyways, so the effort would not be worth it.
It would not be appealing to those gamblers who only want to sit back and relax a bit while trying their luck while doing something else.

Whenever I hear the phrase "slot machine," the word "fun" immediately comes to mind, so I prefer traditional slot machines as they give me more enjoyment. Moreover, when playing slots, I don't need to spend a lot of money since I tend to focus more on sports betting when it comes to spending a significant amount of money.

Slot machines are an excellent source of income for casinos, because most of them (as you said yourself) are programmed to give victory or defeat to the player based only on luck, which as we all know, always favors the house.
A skill-based slot machine is sure to reduce the house's winnings and that's why these slots are rare and when found, they are only limited to a bonus stage.
I would love to play a purely skill based slot machine, I believe some old arcade games that pay out in Bitcoin would be a good start for casinos to start investing
Has anyone here tried it out?
Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?
I still prefer the traditional slots over the skill-based slot because I remember playing the skill-based slot game once and it had a bigger house edge. To me, it felt like no matter how skilled you are at playing that slots it kind of evens out because casinos will most likely increase the house edge as most of their players would be curious to test it out. I like the new type of slots as it's good to have changes but for now, it's better to continue playing traditional slots until the providers find ways to improve the skill-based ones.

But to answer the question, knowing how bad I am with anything that has to do with luck, I think I would prefer the skill based slot machine if ever I have a chance to play on a physical slot machine, and I'm given the option to chose between the two.
I believe in my skill than I believe in luck, it is better for me to lose due to my poor skill than to lose due to bag luck - this is because, losing due to bad skill simply means, I have a choice of deciding whether to improve my skill or not, but losing due to bad luck, leaves me with no option at all, because nothing can really be done, except to pray for better luck next time..
Most of the slot game is purely based on the luck.It very commonly known ideology of slot games,your words of slot game based on knowledge is more specie one.The slot game is based on the Random Number Generator in all the websites.The process is the very simple,the RNG will create one number and based on that number.The slot game will chose the winner of the certain slot,So who had lucky on that day will be the winner of the certain day.Incase the slot game which based on skill was introduced into the gambling,then the winner will become a decentralised one.Because person who was good at the analytical skill will find the desired outcome and place the bet on that number.So of course he will be winner because of his knowledge in the numbers and slot game knowledge.The long term slot game player will learn many tricks on playing slot games for longer period.

I need to digest for a while what is meant by luck based slot machine. from the first link, I didn't get the specifics that are meant by skill-based slot machines. I want to continue to read the second link, but unfortunately I can't access it. because, too many ads on the link.
However, if referring to the first link. I suspect, that this is a new idea that will be stretched. as the article says, skill-based slot machine is a new kind that replaces the older scenario of slot machine. to be honest, as you said I also just read and even heard that there is a skill-based slot machine. This is interesting, but I'm still confused whether this is still an idea that is currently in a project that will be carried out by gambling game developers. or, still in the planning stage. or if this luck-based slot machine already exists, I am challenged to find out more about it and even want to try playing it.
