Now you must be clear with the fact as to what is the difference between a traditional machine and a skill-based slot machine. If you are using a skill-based slot machine, you can apply the experience and skills to the game’s bonus part. In this section, you can apply it to increase your chances of winning and making more profit.

I just read the entire article about the skill base slot machine and I couldn't find any single difference about the skill-based slot machines and the traditional one apart from the fact that on a skill base slot machine a gambler is given a bonus time to practicalized his skill, that can also be done on a traditional slot machine, because for me luck remains a major factor to both kinds of slot machines, because both kinds of slot machines can be studied and understand how they works, as I'm sure the pressure by which a gambler spins the wheel of a slot machine has a big role to play to where it's arrow may fall.

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 have never heard of a skill based slot machine. Are you even sure they are a popular thing?

If you were to ask me, I would say that any skill based game where you can make money is just waiting to be exploited. You cannot really exploit something which works with probabilities but if you add an algorithm for "skills" you can easily develop an automated way to always win. It would be simple code for a "human emulator".

Sounds shady. I would love to see the inner workings of such a "skill based gambling game". Roll Eyes

Maybe the skill part is just marketing and its not got anything to do with your abilities?

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.

I agree. This sort of thing in person may be a possibility but for online gambling I would think this sort of gambling would be impossible. If it was available, I’m sure people would immediately be developing bots that could win every time. That wouldn’t let a game like this last for long before the casino started taking massive losses. Cool idea, just not possible to implement online in my opinion.

If it's effective, it will surely won't last or succeed in the long run. Casinos might prohibit it if it's going to reduce their profit or might cause them losses in the future. However, I don't think these skill-based slot machines don't rely on luck. We all know how slots work and there's no guarantee that a certain skill could make a player win continuously. The house won't allow it as well if it will affect their business negatively.

Skill based on betting but still pure luck when it comes to the game itself. It is what it is; a slot player would really depend on one's luck and fate in order to come up with a win. I doubt that this would really be or hundred percent be a skill-based game . If players would be able to set strategies to win the game, that would already be a different game. I saw new gambling sites somehow creating or adding spice on traditional gambling games butif we would view it in a broader perspective, idea is still the same. And there is nothing wrong with it. As far as I observe, players are still more hooked up with the classic set up of slots than with the newer versions. Likewise with roulette, dice games and such.

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.

Casinos' online and offline profits are guaranteed with luck-based casinos compared to skill-based casinos, gamblers will be interested to play because it's new, but I doubt if the majority of casinos will integrate this skill-based slot it will cut their profits casinos make a lot of profit from their luck based games than their skill-based games which are sports betting, but let's see the technology is evolving if there are demands from the gambling community and casinos can find a way to make a profit we'll likely see this in online and offline casinos soon.

This idea is entirely new for me. All of the slot games I know of are all based on luck. This is why you don't have to think thoroughly when playing it which makes ot popular among most players who don't like to complicate things and to think deeply. Although I'm really wondering how this will work and if it will be sustainable in the long run because of course, the edge will still be in favor of the house. Perhaps the skills will take part on how the player will play to determine the winning combinations and the like.

The concept is something interesting and pretty new.
But I consider both types of slot machines the same risk mechanism in which it is very hard make profits even considering some skills. nothing really changed in my opinion, given that also in this case a very specific RTP is always provided.
you can have all the skills you want, but the machine will always have a specific payout....

To be honest, this is the first time that I have heard about skill based slot machines or games, although it seems to me that this is kinda lot some arcade games that I have seen already. Yeah, so why not? maybe test your skills and see if you can win or not.

But I haven't seen this kind of games in the casino that I frequented, so maybe in the future they will have to installed some of it to attract players. However, if our chances for this games are good then maybe it's going to be low priority for them as obviously it's a business and they want the RTP slot machines that give them the most profit.

I really haven't tried it and just found out from what you said. We are obviously used to traditional slots and are familiar with how they work. But when there is some kind of innovation that was initiated by millennials regarding skill-based slots, it seems that everyone is quite familiar with how to work as a whole and provide a different game. Personally I am interested in trying it, but does this slot machine still refer to games only or has a special game.

they will give consideration of course but not to the extent that they will let us win against them, and maybe they will give more chances to play but in the end? we will lose and the owner/team will win.
this is about money so who will let you take it from them? and this business is a major way of getting money now.

I don't understand how you could pull this off as a casino. Especially online. In a live setting, that's one thing. But if a skill based player could beat the operator, then it's not a business model. And online, you could just bot whatever game they put on there with trivial ease.

Without knowing what this is, I'm almost sure that if you play, you are going to be exposed to variable house edge odds of say 90-96c depending on how skillful you are. So if you are more skillful you'll get 96c and if you are terrible you'll be 90c. Better to play slot machines online that are provably fair with a small house edge.

The article is very vague, doesn't mentioned how can you used your skills in a slot machine, and it just mentioned that you can only used it during bonus. If we can see clearer explanation as to what kind of machine it is then maybe we can say that we wanted to try it and see if yourself.

Although I have some kind of idea on how it is, still though, it's machine so not sure how you are going to defeat it, just saying.

You might increased your chances as compare to traditional luck base, but probably by just minute numbers.

I'll still prefer to get into the traditional ones but I know that changes are constant and there will be games like that which is like the revolutionized type of gambling for specific games like slots. It's new to me to see a slot that's skill-based. There are interesting thoughts made on that article and it's true that the era will come for this type. Everyone should check and read it out as it might be something interesting that you're also eager to know.

In order to understand what kind of slot machine you were referring to I had to check a Youtube video. Oh boy! This one would be more addictive than the old slot machine as you will always feel that you can beat the game. The one that I saw was the Brick Breaker game, it reminded me of a time when we used to play those games on our desktops. I wonder whether these skill-based slot games can be played online or not as they are basically arcade games.

I still don't understand how can a bonus round is classified as skill based? I think it's still purely on luck, but you're getting more chance to win because you spend more money until you get the bonus round. Is there any casino which have bonus round? I never experienced that, what I know is free spin and bonus buy feature. A slot which have bonus round is still luck based for me.

So this means that it multiplies your percentage of winning; let's say if you win in the bonus round, your percentage will be doubled or something like that. Well, it is good and it is an advantage to those who love slots since they can increase their chance of winning, but has this been implemented already, like what kind of bonus rounds we are now seeing? I am not a fan of slots, but I do sometimes play the traditional ones, and I would say it is very impossible to win.

If someone could really think of a way to make the slot game "skill-based" rather than pure luck then I would applaud them. It's not like there's really something going on in slots. You just keep on rolling until you hit a certain line that could lead to a combo and then a probable jackpot.
How can that be skill based is kind of intriguing.
Well perhaps spending more money will be the key to it. Instead of a brand new roll, you could continue the game like those arcade games where you just need to drop another token to preserve the game, as long as you can see some reason that it could hit a jackpot.
But that would probably be abused by those who can afford it and it's going to be a massive gamble like a martingale strategy which might not become profitable unless you can cover the massive capital needed until you hit jackpot.

I don't know if it's still a thing nowadays or maybe it has gone archaic. But from your first article link you provided in Op I read that the risk of losing in a skill based slot machine is reduced to minimal while winning odd is increased. I believe since the the chance of winning is high then it won't favour the casino it will only be an advantage to the gamblers and because of that most gambling site/casino wouldn't want to make it available (assuming it's still something that's common), I feel casino make more when gamblers lose their bets.
