Title: Changing the seeds of games and slots
Post by: GxSTxV on October 07, 2023, 08:35:48 PM
First and before talking about it let me explain why I encountered this feature which isn’t familiar here in our gambling section community. Last month was bad for me while gambling. I usually enjoy playing slots particularly Sweet Bonanza and some Plinko game once or twice a week. I'm used to the ups and downs that come with gambling  and even that my overall history at my favorite casino is still a small positive number.
But this month something I felt is off. I've been consistently losing from 6 or 8 bonus buys in a row before winning one with a very small profit, then again to go back to strict losses. It has been like this for last month now, I mean it’s like only downs lol.
This is why I started looking for similar experiences even that I know it’s only gambling but I came across someone in reddit talking about seeds changing for slots or games. Unfortunately the casino I'm using doesn't offer this feature so i can’t really tell. Now my question is does changing the seeds really have any effect? Can it help with the ongoing losses and bring things back to normal?

There is a thread with the same concern: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469526.0

But of course, the answer would still be no. Just what I have said from the similar thread above.

Probably, that gambler you have seen believe to some kind "Illusion of Control"[1] fallacy where they can influence or control the outcome of the game, in his case not changing the seed, even when it's based on luck and randomization of numbers.

And as far as I know, a streak of wins or loses is a good indicator of the randomness of whatever the game is!!
