Topic: Slot games are a waste of time and money (most of the time) - page 8. (Read 1485 times)

If you need to reach $750 before withdraw, then that is between 46 and 47 times wager, which is a lot because the usual wagering requirement is only at 30x something. And even the 30x is also too much and will mostly end you up with a zero balance before you complete it.

If we know that the casino that we play has a wagering requirement, it's best to not expect too much, especially if you already won something after the free spins have been completed because the game or challenge is only getting started. You still have a long way to your success. But anyways, you still have done a good job there for reaching that high wager out of a small balance. Better luck next time mate.

You're correct, slot games might be a waste of time to the OP and he has his reason as he hasn't made good profits from playing slots games but it isn't to every individual that's gambling that slot games are a waste to. Some individual might find it very easy to win when they play slot games because that's where there luck is. Don't discourage anybody from playing a specific games as you might be denying them their victory and make them not to win when gambling.

All gambling have to try different games until they find the perfect game that they can win. Some individuals will find luck early as they begin to gamble but others will take some time and losses before they find the game that they can win. I tried many games before I began playing sport betting and I discovered it's the best game for me to play when I want to gamble and it has been working for me. I don't win every time but I enjoy playing it and also make some profits too.

Well, this thing about slots is a whole theory, as I said before, they always try to inform me about slots, and you're right, there are many types of slots, and for example, the bitcaisno.io blog has a couple of very interesting articles. nice people who talk about slots and give great advice, this is something that is very good, very informative and very illustrative, I have a lot of respect for slots because they are the easiest way to lose money when you don't know how to play, and even more so when If you have little money, you have to play very carefully and not allow a poorly made bet to win you a lot of money, the slots are totally taken to the planes of luck, or you know what will happen, and the rules are something that They can be applied but there is no infallible strategy that makes us win, that is impossible, I do like to see the strategies, the techniques that we always have to do in the slots, but basically all of this could be one or the same as it could not control those strategies.

In the  person when I play I always apply strategies, but there are some that work for me at a given moment, but others don't, and that is abnormal, I only learn them because I like it, and since I have a very peculiar way of playing slots, where basically I'm not looking for money but just to have fun, since I see the slots as a service for which you have to pay, well that's how I see it, and clearly there is a chance to lose and win, when it's my turn to win, it makes me I'm happy, because I see the slots as a way to relax, just like what it feels like to be in a soccer studio, supporting your team and hoping that you win, that's what I feel when I'm in the slots, but of course I wish it were 90 minutes + extra time + penalty, it's not a very short time because I spend little money playing, because as long as I have fun for a little while, that's enough for me to make it worth it, that's how I play in the slots.

I personally belive that slot games are the type of games that mostly to be played for fun, and not one to expect to make profit from, though it is still very possible to make huge profit from playing slot games, but it's also very important for us as gamblers not to set our minds on that, since it only happens by chance, and only to those who are extremely lucky.
Slot games are games that are completely luck based, the outcome of the game can not be manipulated by the gambler him or herself, only the casino and/or game provider have such ability to sometimes, manipulate the outcome of a slot game, but then, reputable casino and game providers will not engage themselves in doing such.

I myself have never made any huge wining from playing slot, but then, I still try it from time to time to see what luck holds for me for that day, I still enjoy playing the game even though most of the time, the outcome hasn't always been pleasant.

That's not how it is for slots though, the odds of slots are equal to all players. The outcome is different because we're only seeing those who wins and the different slot combinations for each spins and so we think that it's different but in the mathematical side of slots, the probability is always the same for the combinations, sometimes it just so happens that some hit the winning probability more than others. Same for me, slots in a casino is the best way that you can lose your money, there's a reason why there's a lot of slot machines in the casinos all over the place, they also have the highest house edge I think so definitely stay away from slots as they're really a waste of time.

It's not really a big matter if you choose low RTP or high RTP, the outcome is pretty much same. The difference is time, in high RTP games you might able to gamble longer while in low RTP games is shorter.

There's no study when it comes to slots, only need to learn how to control yourself.

People should realize this on which when it comes to luck factor then everyone would really be entirely be different and this is why if we do see someone whose really that lucky when it comes to slots
and making some huge wins then dont try out to copy yourself into them because it would really be just that make you desperate and this is really that dangerous on gambling field.
Slot games are waste of time, yes a part of but we know that everything is created for the sake of fun and not for making money. You would really be finding yourself on great trouble
if you do end up on getting addicted to it.

You would be finding the game to be boring if you are really that expecting for slot game or any games to be profitable. If you are that someone whose really that
expecting something like this then you would definitely fail and this is something that do really happen inevitably unless if you do have that good self
control then you might be able to skip on this one.

Things don't work the same way for everyone, especially when it comes to gambling, the outcomes are always different for different people playing the same game because it's all about one's luck whether they will win or lose, and if they win, how much they are going to win, and if they are losing, how much in total they are going to lose. So, I don't think that it's just a game or a series of games that we should blame because it's our luck that isn't favoring us in this thing.

Talking about personal experience, I'm actually in the same boat as you because I've never won anything very significant from slots games, it doesn't mean that I never got any big wins, but they were never big enough like some people get 1000x or even higher, the highest I've ever got was 100x.

Exactly, it is better to study them before playing slot games. When you like to play slot machines it is useful to know about the different types of slots available. And volatility is also something to consider low volatility slots offer frequent returns, but for smaller amounts. High volatility picks can provide massive returns but you shouldn't expect this to happen often. Most players who want to collect rewards by playing these selections will choose a medium volatility option offering a mix of both so the risk may be lower.

Of course, we as gamblers also have to be careful in choosing which casino is suitable for us from the many casinos that we encounter both out there and on this forum. Of the many casinos, only a few can be included in our list of trusted casinos so that we don't need to gamble at casinos that we don't know. So far, there have been many fans of slot games, especially now that there are so many slot providers in each casino, so this slot game gets lots of promotions every day or week to attract lots of gamblers. As gamblers, we also have to estimate how much money we can use to gamble so that we can prevent losing a lot. Only use the money you can afford and the rest, you will be fine with the self-control you have.

It's better not to force yourself to take part in a promotion if there are betting requirements that are very difficult to fulfill because we have to be wise in choosing the promotion so that we can get the bonus given in the promotion. Slot games can make a gambler spend more time just trying to get a big multiplier, and many of us have experienced this. We have to limit our use of gambling in this slot game because it can make us forget to stop gambling before all the money runs out or we can win. Indeed, luck plays a big role in slot games and only lucky gamblers can win at slot games with big multipliers. Others can only win small amounts of money.
​
I rarely get big wins. I can only keep trying to play slots but within safe limits and what I can afford. I try not to exceed the budget amount every time I play slots so that I can still control myself well. But indeed, I once lost control of myself, which made me play slots several times more rounds than I usually played. That's because I'm trying to chase another victory even though I've already won or want to recover from a previous defeat.

From there, I learned that you only need to play slots in moderation and you don't need to be too eager to chase wins or recover losses. We need to enjoy the slot game without thinking about it because it can make us have the desire to chase victory. If that happens, we can forget about restrictions and self-control and what will happen is that we will just continue playing in the next round without thinking about the remaining balance in the gambling account.

Yeah, at the end of the day casinos have studied how brains work for a long time, and they know what they're doing.

A person looking at a multi-million dollar prize won't care about the probabilities as we didn't evolve a brain that deals with probabilities natively as compared to Newtonian physics (throwing a rock you don't have to calculate the parabola equation, you just "know it").

Casinos know that people are bad at probabilities and therefore they just show a big prize with minuscule chances. And people play. Because that's what our brain tells us to do. "There's a chance!"

You have literally encapsulated the reason why most people play slots- the possibility of winning a huge amount with that astronomically low chance of hitting the jackpot is what drives people to choose this game.

After I visited our local casino in our country, I have noticed that several of the people played slots. Every slot machine has two (2) jackpots- the GRAND jackpot and the normal jackpot in which the former contains like a million dollars on stake.


Slots are really designed for a typical gambler to just play and call it a day. It is mostly catered to the people who impulsively gambles since it wastes no time and it shows the amount of money you could possibly win.

I got used to slowing things down after a big win. Sometimes I do switch to another game because I feel like I won't win that same number twice in one game. Like lightning doesn't strike in the same place. But we all know it's a myth.
That's where the fun will begin, on how we will manage all those profits that we made. Like OP, he won a great deal of amount but it's because of the wager requirement that's keeping him from betting on the gambling site. The difficulty of winning again will be there because that's how the gambling sites are programmed.
By betting many times I learned that lesson and I am sure as hell that it ain't just me that realized these things are actually happening. The system (most of the time) will let you win at your early bets, the first 100 bets are so sweet that you will feel that it's too good to be true. Because it is. We gamblers will always let greed win and we will keep on betting either in slots or other casino games after that until we find ourselves in a losing spree.

The game is a game that really purely depends on your luck at that time, it is very difficult to go home with a win if you don't have or are less assertive in controlling yourself, when we have won any amount it is better to just withdraw in my opinion, I am also always like that when gambling on slots, because the change in luck there is very fast, maybe only a matter of minutes that initially you are lucky then the round will suddenly become very bad. I think lately a lot of people have lost a lot from this game but strangely there are still very many who prefer that type of game compared to others.

Random wins in slots are too difficult to conquer and it's very emotionally provoking, it seems like the game is set up with a very low winning percentage rate for gamblers, like you experienced and I also experienced the same thing where I had to sacrifice several losses just to get one win, it's very difficult to understand the slot algorithm. So I urge you to be more careful and strict in terms of setting some boundaries and self-control before you regret it.

I had also played slot games many time and end up in loses. I think that is how the game was programmed, you can't win the house and go like that. In every win, you might have about 10 loses. Most time which I played slot games, anytime I won, I think I would have lost multiple times. Tye house has high rate winning compared to our individual self that could be in the haste to make money as a gambler. We need to study how the slot game works and how it was programmed to work. Gambling is a big risk for us if we don't look for something better to play to increase our tendency of winning.

Of course, that's their marketing plan, so provide very attractive offers to gamblers so that they will have to play on that casino (with reputation), and then chase those wagering requirements that might not end good for us. Because we all know how bad slot games are, as the OP has seen it, and that's why he conclude that it is a complete waste of time and money on his part. But there are gamblers that really loves to play slot machine and even if they are in the losing end, they will still consider and go and chase that feeling. Luck plays a big part on slot games, not everyone is blessed with the same luck, and so as gambler we wanted to be that one that is going to win the bonus or the eventual big jackpots that this slot machines offers.

There are many things in the world of betting that lead to the title of your topic, OP.  Surely it's an consequences to your frustration at "not" winning.

Slots are one of the flagships of casino games, it is not the king of the game, but for many players it is.

Slots are mainly fun, by using a bet size appropriate to your bankroll you can have a long term, and that helps you wager, in reality when you achieve a high multiplier you are only recovering money, something normal, but it is what you have to... spin , spin, have fun and spin.

Yes, and the maximum win limit can never be large amount because in this free spin it is also the same as the lowest bet.
It just that most people still really think that free spins can give them lots of benefits which makes them try to get them and even have lots of accounts on various gambling sites.
There are always withdrawal requirements for prizes in bonus rounds and of course this is difficulty for gambler because the amount won is definitely much smaller than the amount of bet that has become requirement to be able to withdraw it.
Casinos will always lock in any winnings on free spins bonuses until the wagering requirements are met and not many gamblers think this far when they go after them.

I don't really understand the game of blackjack and have only tried playing this game few times.
But can't the blackjack game be won when the gambler uses good skills and many gamblers state that this game is much better than slots.
It just that for me personally, skill games are games that really drain the mind because we will always think about how to play correctly to win.
Everyone probably prefers slots because they are easy to play and just wait for luck to come.

If the goal of a gambler is to obtain profits with slot machines then there is no doubt they are wasting their time, and this is because slot machines have some of the worst odds you can find at any of the games offered by casinos, however if your aim is to get some fun with them then they are not so bad as you could hit a big multiplier from time to time and hit higher profits with a single spin than many other games in a whole session, so when I think about it I can see why many gamblers are attracted to slots.

Of course, there are many kinds of casinos that always offer promotional promotions through advertising to attract the interest of gamblers to use the casino that is being promoted.
As smart users, we have to be smart in choosing a casino that doesn't just advertise tempting promotions. We have to be smart in thinking about whether gambling is not will give big wins unless we are really lucky, both physical casinos and online casinos in my opinion are the same, they only want to get big profits from gamblers who are able to carry out gambling activities, the casinos don't really force users to gamble but they just trying to tempt users, but if we can't afford to gamble then there's no need to force it, but if you want to try it's better to deposit a small amount of money and the most important thing is that you are willing to lose the money and don't try to return the loss.
