Topic: Slot games are a waste of time and money (most of the time) - page 10. (Read 1649 times)

That was a good move, good job. You didn't chase your loser anymore. If I go by your story it's very impossible to win $750 before you withdraw it, it's like a trap you have to deposit until you reach $750 lol. We're the same, I'm not lucky with these games either, especially with free games and before you can withdraw your winnings, you have to win $750.

Some time ago I also tried to play a slot game but I confess it was a disaster, at first I managed to win 3x of my deposit, but then the problem started, I started to have consecutive losses and even though I was hoping to hit something, nothing stopped. with my defeats, the most regrettable and irritating thing about slot games is that they don't depend on us to win or lose, and everything is random, there is no strategy that can be applied to change the result that the person is having at that moment, The longer a person keeps playing, the more likely they are to lose a lot.

That day when I was playing slots I was wondering what was the purpose of playing these games? because I didn't see any strategy that could be thought of for people to have good results, I also didn't see any good emotion in constantly losing, so I got it into my head that I would no longer play any game of chance that depends on luck, I prefer to just stay in sports betting, because in sports betting the outcome of the bet depends on me, if I'm skilled then I'll come out with a profit, if I'm not skilled then I'll come out with a loss.

I created a special topic about bonuses. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62416141

Slot games can win millions of dollars from small bets which are not available from other games. But on the other hand slot games are very risky. You can't win as easily with slots as you can with all other games. Due to this, gamblers are very addicted to slot games. Most of the time here is lost because it is said to waste both money and time. But those who are addicted to slot games don't want to accept it.  They think they will win something big very soon

Most of the gambler knew the essence of gambling but failed to accept it when they lose the money because they play to have profit in mind so all the entertainment that they get is already useless if the money which is the most precious to them is already lose.

Not all gamblers can easily let go money no matter how small it is especially if they already experience the opportunity to win more using it.

We as individuals, never ever think that you can make money out of nothing.

Free spins, bonuses, cashback, and whatever are designed to benefit the system and you may get something in return. I bet you enjoyed all your bets until you lost that $55 right? So what's the point then, you enjoyed it but unfortunately the luck was not on your side.

It's not a must to go with slots game, even if someone around you win in Slots you don't have to do the same thing, find the game that works best for you, sport is easily calculating than slots, it's you against the house and that makes you weak in every way, with sport it's a bit different, you are going to rely on the team and you are betting on their performance, not the same as a game running online and straight from people that you want to win money from.

I have my times with slots and my experience is roughly the same with yours, I don't always win most of the time and it's expected anyway, have you watch streamers? That will make you want to love Slots even more because they will be live and they will be making money as if it's that easy.

Do not trust the games that casino streamers are showing you on their live videos, your result will never be the same as their, so don't risk too much money on slots like they do, use only what you are ready to lose, at the end of everything gambling companies are the true winners of gambling, whenever you manage to win always consider taking your profits out, show no mercy.

Yes, in essence, playing slots that have been planned by the bookie's programmer for the defeat of all players, in my personal opinion, is just a waste of time. The reason is that the game can influence our mindset to try it and on the first or second try, usually the online machine must have planned to win that person. Many people in my country are trapped in games like this, the losses are quite big. They hope to play this hoping to get lucky every round. and in essence this machine beats them all.

Yikes, I hate gambling experiences like this that leaves terrible tastes in the gambler's mouth. Some casinos are really shady in their dealings and I wish there was a way they could be taught a lesson. If a wager requirement of about $750 is the criteria why call it a freaking free spin? It is just wrong.


This is not good that you feel this way. Not all casinos are like this though. For now, play other games and return to slots after a long hiatus.

Yeah using our logic, slots is definitely waste of time and money, but it's a life changing when someone hit the jackpot.

For a safer game, they can bet in sports, as long as you bet are come from your analysis and you're not hoping to high e.g. chase @10.00+ odds, you're fine.

But surprisingly people are prefer to gamble in slots than sports, maybe they're a gambling addict since slots is a game where you can play for 24/7 unlike sports lol.

Chasing the jackpot from the start of the game certainly makes it difficult for every gambler because no one knows when they can get the big multiplier. They can experience loss, which can trigger their anger or annoyance, so they want to recover from their loss by continuing to gamble for several more rounds.

But it won't always give them big wins because slot games are luck-based and if we don't have luck, we won't be able to win some money instead, we will run out of money. People cannot control themselves when playing slots so they will not realize the impact because playing slots can really use up all their money without any remainder.

That's why if you want to play slots, determine how much money you want to use and how long you want to play slots. And if one of them has been achieved, immediately leave the slot game. Otherwise, you could lose control of yourself and end up losing all your money.

At first you said that you were happy when you were able to turn the $16 into $55, it means that you enjoy it no matter how long you play it.
Later you lost it all and feel that you are unlucky then you created this topic to say that it is wasting your time.
Based on these information, I can assume that you are enjoying your gambling activity when you are on winning moment only (it is normal though), and maybe you will not say that it is waste of time if you were lucky enough to complete the wagering requirement with decent amount left in your account (profit).
Or maybe you say that it is waste of time solely because of the wagering requirement to complete?
If it is the main reason, you can simply play with your own deposit without any worry about wagering requirement so you can withdraw anytime as you wish.

But many people do not understand this game I mean they misinterpret gambling which is created only for entertainment, so many think gambling can make a lot of money easily. If they think that way then they tend to experience addiction that is crazy about gambling. They should understand the meaning of gambling which is only for entertainment and not used as the main income in life because it is a mistake.  Some people who gamble also believe in RTP, which they think they can win easy wins by monitoring the RTP of the game.
But in my opinion it is only an alibi from gambling companies whose purpose is to attract more attention from playerss even though the player was given a win, because they saw the RTP so they were still confident that the winnings would still be easy to get, even though in the end the winnings they got were used up again because they were withdrawn by the gambling company, because they were sure that the RTP looked still good so they could return to deposit their money to return to play It continues like this until they don't realize that they have lost a lot of money.
So in my opinion those who play without their own awareness are the ones who make them waste their time, not because of the gambling, so the blame is on them. Even if they are lucky, it doesn't take long to get a win or jackpot.

I literally don't have strong hold of confidence to gambling platform that tends to offer bonuses in the first place even especially where a gambler hasn't made a funding yet.
I believe they are all nightmares whereas it can not been in a good used to the gamblers hence it is to be a marketing strategy to the platform all to attract gamblers.

Slot games is strictly a bid of luck and not one of those being calculative games or considering that the experienced ones has tendencies to take advantageous winning position.
Slots and spinning games are one sided gambling that one must learn to walk away at when emotionally depressed or appreciated because there is absolutely no  unjust of continuities.

Sometimes I'm lucky but most of the time I'm not, maybe many will agree with your statement that this is a game that makes us waste a lot of money and time because winning is purely based on luck but it is the most played game and it's hard to ignore because when you get into it Your casino account will always be tempted to play it even though initially you only intended to play another game.
However, in your case, it is also due to the influence of the high wager requirement and I have never been able to exceed the wagering requirement by more than 10x, so when there is a promotion or giveaway that requires 20x or even more the wager requirement then don't expect much, use the opportunity just to have fun and You'll be happy, especially if you don't make a deposit, because if you don't get anything from the promotion, you won't lose anything except time, but at least you'll get the opportunity to channel your desire to gamble without having to spend money.

If we are saying that slot is a waste of time and money then maybe gambling as well could be termed that same way in general, but this is a wrong approach because at first place we are not gambling because we wanted to make money, we are doing so to have a means of being entertained through our leisure time, slot should be played by those that understand it and have interest in playing it, we gamble by choice and not by force, so we can decide on which game to play bet on each time we are gambling.

Next time don't join a online casino because of free spins, it is clear that you join the casino because you want free money and always understand that anything free from one casinos are not really free, they are doing marketing so don't expect to win free money just like that.
 
I am wondering why you decide to play Slots because you sound like someone who don't normally play Slots, why this time? To enjoy the free 77 spins? I think this was why you decided to try Slots out and what you got wasn't what you are expecting, lesson of the day, there is no free money anywhere.

Leave Slots for those who enjoy it, you don't have to talk as if Slots is a very bad game, it depends on your expectations and likes, Slots is not for every gamblers, if sport is best for your need stay with sports, don't go around because you want to win money, only those who can't afford to lose money in gambling are looking for free things, maybe gambling isn't something you should be involved with right now.

I think there is some sort of logic behind casino slot machines. Not all of them are considered to be big scams for taking people's money. Sometimes they do pay out, and sometimes there is a loss. I'm having a thought that they are programmed to give 70% back to the house and 30% to a few lucky winners. This is why slots are called gambling. The winning is not certain, but you bet to win by chance.

There is only one casino game that I feel the winning probability is equal to the losing chances, which is blackjack. If a skilled player or someone who understands the game very well, they could win more than they lose, thereby giving them some compounding winning interest at the end of the day.

However, slot machines are designed and programmed to make you addictive. Even when you keep losing you still wants to play because of how you interact with the machine, the whole flash light thing is very attractive.

Sorry that you are frustrated, I don't do free spins because it dosn't matter to me, but there is one thing I've noticed about slots, you need to risk very low amount of money since you will be rolling the slots base on rounds you have left, I prefer using less that $1 for each rounds, the lower the better, at first I used to lose a lot of money and it never bothered me, because it was what I can afford to lose but later I decided to use the lowest money possible.

Today I am a better slots gambler based on how I manage my bank roll and I think that's what everyone should be doing instead of trying to win some money, go the lowest risk as possible, my game changed after a while and I sometimes walk away with 50% gain on my initial, but I still lose some money, sports game is better for sure, but I just like slots and the amount I risk on the game is very affordable for me so I am good.

I plan to move into Dice game, if anyone have experience about dice game please quote my reply and drop some feedback, I plan to move away from Slots for a while and try something new, not because of making more money but to get experience on other games and see how things go, maybe I will find something new that I will like even more.

what a great marketing technique for casino owner who give 77 free spins but can't withdraw funds because there are requirement for betting that big  😂 your fate is really unfortunate because you can't collect your winnings that you have obtained with the free spins, but you are lucky because you didn't make a deposit to continue playing the slot in order to fulfill the withdrawal requirements that must be fulfilled.

Just think of this as entertainment for you because when else can you use the free spins without having to sacrifice a lot of your finances and it does seems like a waste of time but you only use the money you get from your winnings and don't use your personal money but if you make a deposit To continue chasing victory, you will increasingly waste your time and money in uncertain amount.
