Topic: Slot games are a waste of time and money (most of the time) - page 2. (Read 1629 times)

Yeah, some gamblers stop being rational and they start following their instincts when playing...

Big mistake.

Casinos are designed to take all the money from a gambler, with all their lights, music, etc... Everything is fun and games while the credits are there, but when that goes to zero, then all the fun stops, lights go off, and music ceases to play. That's when the gambler realizes that they have spent all their money.

The key is to stop before this. Similar to not being obese, you need to stop eating before the full pack of chips (or whatever) is empty. If you always eat the whole thing until is empty you will end up obese. If you play all the time until you don't have more money, you will end up bankrupt. Same stuff.

I don't think it's experimenting but rather referring to reckless and stupid actions, basically there is no need to experiment because it's clear that the concept of gambling is only about luck and that means that it's almost impossible for anyone to get a lucky streak to get a win or recover and restore what has been lost there, your idea is quite good but I think the analogy is a little reversed in that the majority of gamblers cannot control themselves and always overreact, and only a few (minority) gamblers are able to restrain their overreaction or that means only a few of them still maintain their awareness not to overreact.

In fact more of the gamblers who apply excessive behavior to their involvement because they come with the wrong goals and mindset such as misunderstanding what probability means, they think that winning is certain and they will get a lot of money but what they don't realize is that the actual fact is that the risk is much greater because the percentage of winning is much smaller than losing, this is business for casinos and that is why in 10x trials for example we will probably only be able to get one/two wins or even nothing at all.

It always doesn't end well when it comes to slots if one gambler continues to try and chase his losses.
In Original games though, it's different. There are times when the RTP hits like it's never-ending so the results are better if you stay in the game and keep on betting. I've seen it quite a lot of times but greed always wins and I want to win more than what it gave me. That's the other problem with original games, after a long winning streak next to it is a losing streak and anywhere you go you will feel it, either Keno, Plinko, Dice, or any game in the originals, the gambling site will try to win back every profit we made.
So in my opinion, the key to success here is discipline, the right time to withdraw and never come back for some time and maybe it will be a different result the next time. But for those who are trying to increase their wagering amount for higher VIP status, originals might be the best place to do it because of that fact.
I guess that is why most bonuses of Stake.com require a $10k - 15k wagered amount in a week because of the RTP. It can be done because I made $100 wagered with just $1 although it took a lot of time.

This is indeed what many gamblers do because they are confident that they will win and can replace the losses they have received,  they are willing to use their spare money to chase wins that are not certain. a loss that makes them gamble again because they want to get a win that can cover the losses they have received. and this is of course wrong and dangerous as you said, because this can make them continue playing and can waste a lot of their money in just an instant. They must be able to limit their gambling to avoid losing large amounts of money. So as much as possible, we should gamble sensibly, don't do it excessively because if we do it excessively it will have a dangerous and detrimental impact on ourselves. Using spare money is the wrong step, because it could be a problem for them in the future, don't be too confident in the hopes you have, those big hopes can kill us later.


victory is definitely there but it also depends on our own luck, it is difficult to apply limits and carry them out because of the different personalities of people being one reason. especially in the determination to limit gambling this is easy to say but difficult to do because most of them do not care about this and do not think about the risks that will occur, many of them have been deceived by gambling and made them lose a lot of money, they should be able to take action backwards as you said it, so that they avoid the big risk then they must be able to refrain from gambling even though the temptation of gambling is strong but if they have a strong mentality maybe they can withstand it.

And that is the scary part, every single gambler out there has experimented losses and thought about betting a little bit more to give themselves the chance to recover the money they have lost, however the majority of the gamblers can control themselves and avoid doing so, while a minority decides to follow those feelings and that is when they start a journey that is bound to not end well, as even if they do not become addicted they will lose way more money than what they wanted during that session.

Many people have experienced incidents like this where when someone experiences a loss from gambling and there is an urge to recover their losses by depositing more money. This has been experienced by many gamblers where it would never be recommended because deciding to continue gambling will not guarantee they can win. They can experience more losses and if they don't realize it soon, they will only repeat it again and in the end, they will become addicted to gambling.

This must be stopped immediately so that they can avoid more losses and it is true that a gambler must have limits in gambling so that he does not lose a lot of money and can also prevent himself from becoming addicted to gambling. He doesn't need to pursue victory or recover from his losses because that is difficult. That is why a gambler must really be able to control himself when gambling and learn to be disciplined in using his money to gamble. That's what makes them responsible people when playing gambling.

This is a scenario that presents itself very often and that many people fail to face properly, after all when it comes to something people want to achieve we often say that they should try over and over again and never give up until they get what they want, however when we are talking about gambling that kind of advice will bring a lot of damage to a person, as the best thing to do when whatever funds we destined to gamble run out is to stop completely, and yet there are many persons out there that keep gambling hoping to recover what they have lost, and that is when they get trapped.

Imagine that we see someone, lets call him John, carefully managing his money. He has a separate "fun fund" for gambling from his "essentials." He walks into the casino feeling sure of himself and in charge. But heres where things get challenging: John loses, and the urge to "win it back" grows stronger. He takes money out of the "fun fund" for next week. Stop right there! He's taking a step that could be dangerous.

This happens all the time, which is scary. Its not enough to just set limits; you have to do the impossible and stick to them. This is especially true when it comes to spots. John keeps losing money even though he knows that the next pull could be the prize. It keeps going and going. What is the key? Know when to take a step back. These days, its not just gambling; people are risking their money and ability to control themselves.

They should realize that excessive gambling is a waste of time and a waste of money, not to mention the many other things that are also harmed. with excessive gambling it makes them nervous because of the winnings that do not come, and also maybe they don't enjoy the flow of the gambling journey they are doing. However, they should not spend a lot of money on gambling, especially if they do not have enough fixed income. where the monthly income earned is only enough for daily needs. so in my opinion, they should not force themselves to gamble, if they really want to get a lot of money, the solution is to work hard, not by gambling because they are hypnotized by the phrase gambling can double money.

well, most people who gamble they forget that they have gone too deep in gambling which makes them lose a lot of money. it is difficult to avoid gambling addiction, but if they have good consistency I think they can reduce their gambling activities because I can also do it with good consistency.

Maybe they think that if they are consistent on gambling they will be rewarded soon that's why they continue to gamble all day its because they are trying to hit a big gains and settle up for a day if they hit that but they didn't realize that they are doing stressful gambling all day that's why they always feel bad once they end their game time.

If they just enjoy the game then set some limitation on anything what they have done especially if they are experimenting something then provably they can say that everything in gambling is really worth it but majority choose to be a evil and decide to be a hardcore gambler.

Maybe two types of behavior came and one is they regret then blame all of this on casino for thinking they had been wreck or simply keep silent and think about what they have done, after that planning their possible revenge or better gameplay on the game they like to play.

Gambling is for entertainment and this is something that people should really be that treating up on this way on which not all people would really be ending up with this kind of mindset on which majority of gamblers would really be that having those kind of aims that they would really be able to make money with gambling in the most easiest way. Yes, we can really make engagement with slot games on which we could really be able
make winnings but if we are really just that lucky enough but we cant really be able to deny that slot games and dealing up with games which does have house edge will really be making us losers in the end of the line
on which you should really be that wary when it comes to that imposed risks so that you wont really be that expecting or anticipating something.

Gambling games wont be a waste of time and money if you are really just that playing for fun but on the time that you are already that expecting something like making some income
or money with it then this is where things turns out to be wrong. You would really be making yourself that desperate on the things that you would really be doing specially
when dealing with gambling.

Yes, a person must manage his finances well so that when he gambles, he only gambles with the money he has prepared. He is also not allowed to use money intended for basic daily needs and that means they are not allowed to gamble beyond their limits. If they lose control once when playing gambling, there is a possibility that they will repeat it another day and it will continue over and over again. And if they repeat it often, there is a possibility that they will become addicted to gambling, where they will no longer have self-control in gambling so they will only lose even more money. They must remember their limits and hone their self-control so as not to gamble excessively and if they are used to doing so, they can enjoy gambling games.

And when they like playing slots, they have to be even more careful because when playing slots, someone must really be able to limit the amount of money. After all, people often forget the limits. And that's what happens to many people. They return to playing slots but after depositing more money. That means they have exceeded their limits, and when they lose, the number of losses increases. In the end, they couldn't reduce the number of losses but instead increased the number of losses.

I am sorry mate, it seems we misunderstood this discussion. what I meant was not free spin bonuses such as deposit bonuses, etc., but the purchase of spin features.
I admit that if we talk about free spins from bonuses given by casinos, the chance of winning big is very small and the risk of getting it is very big because you have to meet the conditions that have been determined as discussed previously, 5x or 30x the deposit amount and the success rate for getting it may be very there is little chance of achieving these requirements and it is not equivalent to the bonus we will get. so many gamblers ignore free spin bonuses with conditions that are too complicated, even I myself often ignore these bonuses.

but if we talk about free spin bonuses in slot games, the opportunity to get JP is only through buyers of the spin feature because in this feature we will get the chance to maxwin even though it depends on luck, but only through buyers of the free spin feature can we get a big multiplier.
maybe someone is lucky enough to get maxwin using manual spin without purchasing a free spin bonus, but it is very rare to get it because we won't be able to get a big multiplier, while the wild multiplier will come out if we enter the free spin round.

Yes, that is absolutely true.

The issue at hand I think is for people that go to casinos or do it online, and they simply continue gambling all day, losing all their money, without even enjoying themselves.

There's a big difference between those two types of behaviors.

If it's like that, it's good and makes sense too, someone has to manage their finances so that they don't gamble using money that is intended for their daily basic needs. they will continue to deposit their money in gambling especially if they don't have good self-control where the defeats they always get will make them curious to continue gambling without thinking about the losses they have felt. let's say they are addicted, even though they are aware of themselves who are addicted to gambling but in my opinion they will not admit that they are addicted, because people who are addicted to gambling tend to be embarrassed to admit that people know they are addicted to gambling.

yes you are right, they can win or get benefits, but the benefits they get are not much nor will they get it often because admit it the chances of winning are thinner than the chances of losing. it is also not good to make gambling a source of income, as you said to make money they have to look elsewhere not in gambling because I also do not recommend it like this.

One misconception that is very common is that people think of something as productive only if it makes you money or it is a step towards that goal, however humans are not really robots that only know how to work, entertaining yourself is also important as this allows you to be fresh when you have to work or simply as a way to improve your mood, and if someone finds in responsible gambling a way to do that then that is OK in my book.

This psychological trap works for many gamblers because many gamblers keep trying to chase victory even though they know that it is difficult. Gamblers are triggered by several other gamblers who managed to win from slot games so they continue to think that they too can win one day. The gamblers who still lose try to play slots in the hope that their luck will come on one of the days they are playing. For this reason, as you said, gamblers must be careful with slots.

We agree that limiting gambling is necessary so that we don't lose self-control while gambling, especially since slot games can really tempt us to continue gambling without stopping. Gamblers have seen a warning to be careful when gambling, but it only appears when they first register and the warning does not always appear when they play. They think that the warning disturbs their focus and makes them uncomfortable in gambling so they feel that it is better for the warning not to appear. This is different from cigarette packs, where the writing appears on the cigarette pack so that when we take the cigarette, we definitely see the warning. But we still don't want to pay attention to it because we still want to smoke. However, we can only limit our gambling activities if we do not want to develop a gambling addiction because that is the only thing we can do if we want to enjoy gambling as entertainment.

That's the point if we can allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and other basic needs so that they don't interfere with each other's need for money. Most gamblers will probably become excessive gamblers when they experience more frequent losses and that means they really have to reduce their gambling activities. Otherwise, they will become more seriously addicted to gambling even though they actually already have a gambling addiction and they don't realize it. We cannot make gambling an important thing in life because we do not live to gamble but we have to focus ourselves to survive. We should use the money for more important needs and also save it so we can use it in the future.

Gamblers can win from gambling but they cannot expect to win too often. They must be aware that gambling is not a place to make money and that they should make money from other, more promising places. If they can limit their gambling activities, they can enjoy gambling properly so they can also limit the amount they lose. That's the most important thing in gambling. Winning it will be a bonus for them.

Yes, I agree with you.

It's a completely personal thing. For some people it is simply fun and they have no issues paying for it.

But, there are some people that stay playing their whole day, and they put every cent they have in there, and they don't even enjoy it.

There's a clear difference.

What you say is true. And we should be able to just have fun with it. I can still get a little enjoyment out of slots. But I personally prefer blackjack or sports betting because for me it is more exciting and fun. I also like the PvP game model as promoted by Rollbit. There is a special pleasure when we try to win with the money we bet. But I emphasize once again that it's just for fun, nothing more.

I dont have much experience with slots, as I dont play them because chances to win are lower than in other games, but bets have minimum amounts, but I would not call them a waste of time. If they were really waste of time, then I dont understand why the amount of installed slots dominate in offline and online casinos. High number of machines/games means high demand. If people were constantly loosing, no one would play slots, but the situation is opposite. Quite a dilemma, isnt it?
