As someone who usually prefers slot games when I gamble I claim that this is partly a waste of time and money and partly not. For example, since the reason why I generally prefer slot games is to spend some time and have fun, I think that this isn't a waste of time and money for me because I enjoy playing slots and I already take the risk of losing the money I will use to play slots.
Although it is rare, there are sometimes I win when I play slots and for this reason I think that slot games aren't a waste of money and time. So, if I had to comment based on my own experience I can say that the idea that "playing slots is a waste of money and time" may be partially true. Since it is a form of fun for me and I rarely earn money I don't think it is a complete waste of money and time.
Topic: Slot games are a waste of time and money (most of the time) - page 6. (Read 1485 times)
Totally agree. It is really a waste of time and money. I personally played this in an online casino I think that was some months ago and I ends up losing all the deposited amount of money I got on my account. After all my funds are gone, I did not mind to play on it again. From slot games I jumped into sports betting.
I also think that slot games are just a waste of both time and money. Because there is not much entertainment in them. Only gamblers panic when playing them. But as much as I have gambling experience, Dice, Crash, Plinko, Mines, Hilo, Blackjack have enough fun and profit opportunities. Here only you have to play cool and bet cool. However, there is no guarantee that you will do these things. But it is possible to profit from them if you have skill.

But unfortunately, I ended up losing the entire $55 dollar while I still had about $582 dollar in wager requirement, I am not confident enough to deposit and continue chasing, so I'm giving up.
What about you?
In this case, indeed, the best and wisest thing is to stop it. Sometimes, gambling really makes us full of joy because we gamble just for fun. But, not always, because, sometimes, the lure or temptation of money smells very sweet. So without realizing it, we have lost a lot of money in slots. Indeed, there is no doubt that slots are quite dangerous, especially for those of us who cannot really control ourselves and understand the risks, sometimes we chase results to get $100, and we feel incredibly happy. Meanwhile, in fact, it turns out that if we add it up, we have already spent $1000 on slots.What about you?
I personally have come to see slot games as a means of just having fun because, making anything tangible from slot that you as the player don't end up losing all back to the casino is simply by luck, and such luck is very rare.
I can't deny the fact that, many have made good money from playing slot games, that is, they won live changing amount of money, and I myself have been hoping and looking forward to the day I will also share the same testimony as those who have made it through playing slot games, but it seems that, the more I try, the lesser it looks like my chance of ever winning are 😁.
The risk of a completely luck-based game like slot machines is huge and it's very frustrating, if you get involved but don't bring control and some strong boundaries to be honest I'm not sure you will be able to survive completely, even more often than not you will easily lose money very quickly. On the other hand, as you suggested about not going overboard with this type of game, I think this is a game that is too hard for people who are not mentally tough.
Of course then I hope that if you really want to get involved there then at least you have to find out first about the biggest impact that can happen and befall you, you can see many examples from other people's cases, for those who are too serious in putting hope by always chasing defeat in order to achieve recovery is very difficult and impossible in my opinion. So if you are not ready then I think it's better to look for other bets that are safer and not too draining mentally and your money such as maybe skill-based sports if you really have knowledge in the world of sports.
It's surely true that the importance of establishing strong boundaries and maintaining control to navigate the frustration and potential financial losses. The cautionary note about the difficulty of surviving without these precautions underscores the need for mental toughness in engaging with based-luck games. Your suggestion to avoid going overboard and highlighting the challenging nature of slot machines aligns with the idea that it requires a resilient mindset. That is a wise advice for potential players to understand the potential impacts by learning from others' experiences. It's good to emphasize the difficulty of recovering losses through persistent chasing.Of course then I hope that if you really want to get involved there then at least you have to find out first about the biggest impact that can happen and befall you, you can see many examples from other people's cases, for those who are too serious in putting hope by always chasing defeat in order to achieve recovery is very difficult and impossible in my opinion. So if you are not ready then I think it's better to look for other bets that are safer and not too draining mentally and your money such as maybe skill-based sports if you really have knowledge in the world of sports.
Skill-based sports bets is a safer bets for anyone who has relevant knowledge about the sport. This is a good recommendation for a pragmatic approach to gambling. It underscores the importance of choosing activities that are not only financially sound but also less mentally draining. This balanced perspective encourages responsible gambling practices and aligns with the idea of making informed choices in the realm of betting.
In this case, indeed, the best and wisest thing is to stop it. Sometimes, gambling really makes us full of joy because we gamble just for fun. But, not always, because, sometimes, the lure or temptation of money smells very sweet.
When we're having much fun we forget that we've been losing a lot. I think it depends on how you take that loss if that seems to be fine and you're enjoying the game. Think of the losses as your payment for the entertainment that you've taken from slots or any game. But we don't want to be losers at most times and even we're enjoying, it's no fun to keep on losing.So without realizing it, we have lost a lot of money in slots. Indeed, there is no doubt that slots are quite dangerous, especially for those of us who cannot really control ourselves and understand the risks, sometimes we chase results to get $100, and we feel incredibly happy. Meanwhile, in fact, it turns out that if we add it up, we have already spent $1000 on slots.
Those who have no control over themselves won't notice that they're losing a lot so they need to check themselves before continuing. Because they will keep on losing money as the paced of this game is very quick to the point that you're fine to lose money because all you think about is having fun. And if you're okay with that, you gotta have a lot of money and it's not going to affect you a lot when you're having that position when you gamble and losing a lot.But for normal folks like me and you, we don't need to realize that we've been losing even if we're having fun. Because those that are in control will already see that we've been losing a lot of money and we can't take to have that on a continuous mode especially if there's a big money involved.
To say that way, it is like saying that all kinds of gambling is a waste of time. Because in all gambling there are chances of winning as well as chances of losing. However, in this case, slot games directly depend on luck, on the other hand, in the case of sports betting, the probability of winning is a little higher if you keep the knowledge of the touch relationship. Even then I would say that gambling is only played for entertainment purpose, then I call it slot game or sports game, I don't call it a time waste.
That's true and that's why we have to be able to control ourselves by not gambling excessively and guarding the money we have so that it doesn't run out quickly in one day. We do have a chance of winning, but we also have a chance of losing, where the chance of losing can become big quickly if we can't control ourselves. Slot games can make people forget to restrain themselves from using too much money because that will only make them experience more losses. We also have to remember that slot games require luck to win, so we can only win if we have luck.Of course then I hope that if you really want to get involved there then at least you have to find out first about the biggest impact that can happen and befall you, you can see many examples from other people's cases, for those who are too serious in putting hope by always chasing defeat in order to achieve recovery is very difficult and impossible in my opinion.

That because there are no opportunities that can be easily obtained from slot games because there is an RTP that is uncertain at all times and slot games work randomly.
Unlike other games, gamblers can use various strategies and slots don't really influence strategy.
What can be done is to determine the right time to have high RTP so that the returns in each round can be better to minimize significant losses.

Yeah, slot machines are probably the most profitable ones from the casino's point of view.
I think most slot machines have a similar algorithm, and you can't really time then, or get one that is "due".
They are simply random all the time, with bad odds for the gambler.
Yes, and I think most people prefer playing slots compared to other gambling games. Maybe there is an advantage to the slot itself, namely that you only need to bring a gadget and it is easy to play anywhere with friends while hanging out together.
Basically the same, namely there is no playing time limit and there are no rules for placing bets, so people will find it easy and free to run their slots. And if gamblers don't immediately realize it and stop doing it, it will have a bad impact on their lives, because in gambling actually more people experience losses than those who experience profits.

The higher the difficulty of the game the better your odds. Poker is probably at the pinnacle of this list, but sports aren't far from the top. Slots and dice are at the very bottom, but at least slots can entertain you with themes and music, so if you have to complain, complain about dice.
Of the four you mentioned, in my opinion, the most difficult are poker, slots and dice because sports betting itself will be easier when we have sufficient knowledge and experience because it is not like games that rely on luck and unlike poker which requires playing strategy.Sports betting has different way of working from other betting options, but we must be able to collaborate between knowledge, experience and also beliefs or feelings.
Honestly, I don't really agree with you statement.
At the end of the day, slots are probably the games with the worst odds, that's why casinos are filled with them.

If you're looking for money, I personally feel that the easier the game is and the less choice you have while playing, the worse are your odds.
Games like dice and slots allow you to win with 0 skill. All you do is press a button or pull the lever (of course in case of online games it's a click of a mouse, or a touch of the screen).

It's easy to play, and the odds are great for the casino.
Card games, poker in particular, is probably the closest to having an advantage to the gambler. Still the casino has the advantage, but not that much.
Slot is never a waste of time or money, what we do and how we play it are what determines the money used to play slot as being waste or not, we can admit the fact that most of us often make some personal mistakes while playing slot, despite it's a kind of game which request a gambler to try his luck while playing, which i believed shouldn't be taken as a means of waste of money, but it must be well understood that such is just the way this kind of game is being played by its nature.

I've never been lucky with slot games, never, and I am not pleased about it to be honest.
What about you?
Well, having one bad experience doesn’t mean that all slots are a waste of time and only programmed to take your money 100% of the time. True! It’s hard to make a profit with slots or hit the jackpot that everyone is chasing. Personally, I love playing slots to a far point and it’s the best games on the whole casino that push my adrenaline and enjoy playing. I had several sessions and experiences but not all of them are lost, I manage to win some and lose some but what matters for me is having a great time despite losing the session.What about you?
Also, take in mind that playing with a small sum or a big sum is different, it’s better to lose. A small sum than a big sum of money. Sometimes, I lose on small bonus buy, and win when I rise the bonus buy amount then cashing out which means a winning session for me.
We don’t judge anything with one experience, gambling in general is a business for a casino to win but doesn’t mean all people will lose and that’s the key why people are gambling and trying to be the ones who win.
Long story short is that, I've been playing slot games for as long as I have been in online gambling, this is neither my first experience as you wrongly assumed, and neither is it my second, or third, or even the hundredth experience, so, when I say that slot games are a waste of time and money, I know what I am saying, and that is that, for those who are gambling for profit, slot games aren't the best type of games to play, for the average gambler will always loss when it comes to slot games.

How come a game that even a no brainer can play is a brain numbing while you are just clicking spin button and watch for the result. Surely you will not pay attention on the game if you are just playing using an amount which is too small or just a demo account because you don’t feel the excitement and thrill of the game itself.
Probably you are just not a fan of games that is just spin and win but slot games is designed to become entertaining due to the graphics and different gameplay mechanics that varies per slot type.
Probably one of the most lame games nowadays, deriving from the old-fashioned slots casinos had when they were first founded. You simply click a button, no anticipation, almost a non existent adrenaline rush, like the one you get from the Crash game. There are far better games that also offer greater chances of winning, such as Crazy Time, Megawheel, and plenty of other options. I had also received a signup bonus of a handful of spins on slots, not on a cryptocurrency casino but on a regular online one, which is quite popular in my country. I managed to win a few cents, which grew into a few dollars before losing them.Probably you are just not a fan of games that is just spin and win but slot games is designed to become entertaining due to the graphics and different gameplay mechanics that varies per slot type.
In slot games, it's very easy to shift one's mind away from the entertainment side of the game and focus on making profit, which completely ruins the real reason for the game in the first place. But for crash game, one just can't help but get entertained due to the adrenaline rush that comes with not knowing how far the plane will fly before it crashes, I usually start kicking my both feets and my heart skipping beats when ever the plane have travels too long without crashing, like 20x and above, while I still have my bet in the front
