For me, I sometimes play for hours and really enjoy the game, but there are times when my eyes start to hurt, especially when I’m watching with so much excitement. It feels like it’s not healthy anymore. What advice would you give to those who can relate to my experience?

The main problem is your eyes, you should go for an Eye check-up.
You can also buy a glasses with bluray protection. i do play online casino for  long hours daily.
I will just put a hundred dollars on my account and the goal  is to have atleast 500USD or 0.
With a hundred dollar start, i bet 0.2 per roll. 1-5 hours per day, it depends on my luck.

How do you play it for hours? You probably switch slots, and do it a lot. I can only force myself to play it for a long period. 15-20 minutes is enough for me, then I become bored with endless spins. I think a bonus game with interesting graphics can only make me stay longer. I find there is little connecting between your vision and slots, but I can suggest to reduce brightness, change lights around you into more warm light (you probably use cold white bulbs), maybe use eye drops to prevent them from being dry (that is your main issue).

If you have been profitable playing slot games then that's cool for me but it's should take too long so as not to have an eye problem.
Seen you are always playing slot games, it would be preferable if you have your glasses on so the light emission from the screen would not cause problem to your iris. If you are always using your phone or computer, it would be quite okay if you put on the light to neutralize the white light coming from the screen of your phone or laptop. Make sure you reduce how frequently you get attracted to Ray of light from computer.

I don't play slots at all because I don't think I can earn anything there. I'm not a very lucky player and if I do play, I prefer betting while watching a match, in this case I increase the effect of the bet when I watch the match and expect to win. Slots are also boring for me, I don't like monotonous actions, I don't have to think and choose a bet myself, this game is not for me.

The reason you’re playing for long hours is probably because you’re either winning or betting small amounts. Get real, if you were winning big, your eyes wouldn’t be hurting. But if you’re just placing small bets and enjoying the game for hours, that’s where the problem is. The solution is to bet a decent amount that keeps the game exciting but doesn’t drag on for too long. Win or lose, stop after maybe an hour or less. That way, it’s healthier for both your eyes and your emotions.

It's good to spend more time gambling and when playing slots, inasmuch as you have enough money to continue with your bets from your account, it is also important that we have to consider the nature of our personal health conditions and how we are to create a balance in such a way that does not have a negative effect on us, staying too close to the screen for long is not a good habit, we may reduce the brightness, handling time or even get a lens or screen to help adjust in light reflection on our eyes, or better still maintain a little more distance from the screen each time we are gambling either for long or short periods.

Playing slots for hours relentlessly is a big sign of addiction and if anyone should notice they are spending this much hours on a single casino game, then there should be a rethink and caution should be applied.
For me however, I don't play anything more than 20-30minutes before getting bored and trying out other options of casino games available. I can even stay days away from slot games and either try my luck at another casino games or not try any at all.

With just a few cents to every bet on slots, my $10 could take hours and hours before i lose them all. I could sometimes win and triple the amount in less than an hour. But obviously its also taken by after a a few hours also which means I could sit in from of a TV the whole after noon watching while also playing the slot. Too much waste of time but I guess it helps when you are just lying around.

Although you can enjoy the game until you can spend hours but there are very fatal effects on your eye health problems. It is better not to be too excessive to continue the game, when it is uncomfortable even though you are always given victory, you should immediately stop and rest so as not to cause serious effects on your own health.

Don't let gambling be viewed negatively by people around you, because the effects are not only directed at your finances but can also damage your eyesight.

You look at the screen too often is the reason. Probably not just gambling that caused it but staying too much on the screen. Try to gamble less and also try to limit the hours you spend on the screen daily. The long term effect is not good. It can lead to blurry vision that might gotten worse if you continue. If you reduce the time you spend on the screen and it does not affect you anymore, no need for any checkup. I think it will go as soon as you make lifestyle changes in relation to spending less time on the screen.

I never spend more than a few minutes on slots. My games never lasted for hours. I don't play small deposits, but only slowly place small bets per spin. Only sometimes I increase them if I see that the deposit is almost exhausted and I want to have some fun at the end. I know that this is a mistake, but I am not a frequent guest at the casino and I forgive myself for this.

If you experience eye problems that hurt when playing for hours then it's better to reduce it, because it could be that your eyes are no longer healthy to stare at the screen for too long, rather than getting worse it's better to reduce it if it's a problem from your eyes.

Back to the question - Playing slots is never for hours at most only a short time because the deposited capital has run out, yes indeed because the deposit is small and it runs out quickly if you don't win a few spins.

Then realize for yourself that playing slots for hours will not be able to do it.

Before I want to ask you, do you play slots just to fill your free time on weekends or do you play every day?

If you play just to fill your free time, it would be better for you to stop immediately if you feel your eyes are uncomfortable and you better find other alternatives to spend your free time. Because I'm worried that if you force yourself to continue playing slots when your eyes are irritated, it could make your eye condition worse.

Prioritize your health over having to follow your desire to play slots.

Due my job and other personaly things I had to spend many many hours daily with a laptop/screen.
One crazy side effect was a "skin burning" literally likewise I was exposed for too much time to the sun! Crazy!
Now I have changed company laptop, and I am also using a filter that block some UV lights.

Eyes problems are really bad. I would suggest to the user to ask medical help.
Avoid to play too much time since inflammation or generic issue of this part of your body are really painful and not easy to cure.
It would be also profitable just have some limit on sessions maybe with frequent pauses. I know that gambler want have fun and continue to play but this can be also a valid solution.

The only advice i can give to you if you catch yourself gambling more than you should, is to take a break and find something else to occupy your time before returning to gambling, easier said than done in most cases though.

I don't really like playing slots, so if i am asked how many hours i spend playing football betting, then i will say a very short time, all i have to do is log into the casino, stake my bets in minutes, half an hour at most and i am out to watch the games at a pub or at home, so that is pretty much it.

I rarely play slots, but usually I won't spend much time on slots. If my deposit doesn't run out, the longest I play slots is 35-45 minutes. I'm quite interested in playing slots but for some reason I can't spend more time which might actually make me tired.

Regarding your problem, do you access it using a smartphone? Not only when playing gambling, sometimes I also feel very tired eyes when looking at the smartphone screen for too long. Check your eyes and try using devices such as glasses to reduce the effects of the light from your smartphone screen.

If it’s concerning the eyes aches then it would be a good idea for you to get yourself an anti blue light glasses, it reduces that light that enters into your eyes directly that cause you to feel those hurts so try getting a good glasses for yourself.

And also if you know you’re playing too much slots and it’s becoming unhealthy for you then try cutting your bankroll down, reduce the total amount you usually deposit into your account that way you’ll have lesser amount to play with and there will be a high tendency that you’ll lose everything quick and if you’re there for fun alone then this should work but if you’re there for financial benefit then this isn’t for you.

Few cents bet on slots? Never seen such. I think the most minimum is 10 cents and you need to make a little search to find it. Its usually 20 cents per bet. What slot game or provider you were playing hours with 10 bucks? Or it maybe I am such a lucky guy who isnt able to find cheap slots :D But, with 10 cents bet and 10 bucks budget, you probably can play only for 10-20 minutes :D

And I know that everyone has their own amount to bet, but gambling with cents? Come on, this does not look serious. If you are not super lucky guy, how much could you win? A few beers worth amount after gambling for hours?  ::)

From what you have said I see that it seems like you gamble with the aim of seeking entertainment, that is always the recommended approach in gambling but I think when you do it excessively it is still a wrong action because there is certainly a possibility for you to lose an unnecessary amount of money when you gamble for a longer time, so even if for example your goal is not to seek victory but I hope you should still put a limit on the time of involvement, you have proven it yourself that the impact is making your eyes hurt which is caused by you looking at the screen for too long, so besides enjoying the fun you should also care about your health.

Maybe 30 minutes. Not long playing slots for now.

Maybe I used to play for hours until there was no boredom, but the funds continued to run out because they were drained in slot games, so I now reduce the total slot game.

Sometimes playing slots for hours is not organized in money management, it is difficult to avoid because the addiction continues to increase.

What you are doing actually happens not only when we gamble, but it cannot be denied that what you are doing has become a habit in today's digital era, many people are now starting to spend a lot of time staring at their mobile phone screens compared to interacting in the real world and that is the reality of our lives now, What happened to you also happened to me even my experience actually playing almost all day because of the excitement of playing and stopped when my balance ran out, although I did it but I think it's not a good thing for us to do, because however when we do something excessive even for entertainment, precisely it will only have a bad impact on us both physically and mentally, so I think, enjoying what we like is important, but don't go too far and make yourself uncomfortable in the end.

I told my friend that the slot game is fun to play the graphics the sound are different on each game hahahha, but this game hasa  low win rate. When you play slot you might forget time especially if you don't turn on turbo or quick spin and yes it can hurt your eyes if you watch closely to screen and play for an hour. So if you asked me How many hours do you play in slots? The answer is I play for the quick game.

Usually I just buy bonus spin or turn on the quick spin and my budget for slot is much little than other game so slot is just quick game when I bored play  BlackJack or something like that. Heck play gamble for an hour I believe is bad for health

Cutting the amount of time spent gambling is something that has a certain positive impact because when we are able to recognise that something may cause changes for the worse inside ourselves, as well as in our wallets, we are capable of making changes. Evaluations indicate that games that continue for long make us lose control on the usage of money which in the process cost us more than we expect. It is never easy to set boundaries once something has become a part of one’s daily life routine that is helpful to them, however, limiting oneself is a decision that can help in the long run. The last two acknowledge the fact that we do not get carried away in the game to an extent that it becomes addictive and consumes most of our time.

 Sometimes I spent 2 to 4 hours playing slot games and as you said about eye issues yes, the screen affects eyes and in the day time, I brighten the screen to see well while in the night hours I dim the screen to fit into the eyes. And if the eyes pains me, I used to take drugs to kill the pain. Normally it is not good to use laptop or phone for a very long time with you naked eyes. Unless you use eye 👀 protective devices on the laptop or the phone.

Not bad for an hour, but on myself that depends on the situation of the game and playing for an hour might took for couple of hours or beyond. The excitement might takes place and self control might be set aside due to fun experience of winning and rolling back my bets. Indeed, we felt not healthy for several hours playing but once you played recurringly, addiction might be at yours without knowing.

Same to you, @Mr. Magkaisa. Also I spend a mandatory 2 or 3 hours perday. Sometimes I spend more time, about 6 or 7 hours. I think if you (@Finestream) wear Eye protective glasses, that will save your eyes from bad regulations. First you should go to an Eye specialist to have your eyes tested and then buy power glasses. Sometimes, I gain a lot from my investments, and sometimes, I lose a lot; yes, it depends on luck.

If one is chasing a big multiplier,  it's obvious that one needs to invest over 500 spins which means anything between 30mins to 2hours and that's if animations and all that are on...otherwise could be lower if it's all about passing time.

Personally I don't play a time based game, prefer balance based, if its $100 I go for it and if no decent multiplier I call it quits, or if I catch one then I call it a day.

In my case i play 0 hours.
You ask me how many minutes? the result is the same 0 minutes, i dont dont spend any time in slots, because only when you have free spins you can win something, if not in the long run you are gonna end losing all.

And for most of the people who plays slots.... i dont know the answer but for sure more than 3 hours a day.

Absolutely agree with you. I myself sometimes experience discomfort in my eyes even after an hour of playing slots. At the same time I can work at the computer for several hours in a row without experiencing any problems with my eyes. I think this is due to too bright user interface and rapidly changing images. If OP is so eager to play slots but experiences unpleasant sensations, I would recommend him to take a break for 15 minutes after every hour of gambling session. In general, of course, it is better to reduce gambling sessions to one hour.

You can win on slot games even without free spin. Some huge win can be hit even on few tries that’s why slot games is a luck based game which means your game outcome depends on your luck.

It’s just so hard to win the long run because of high RTP set on this games so many players just rely on hitting early huge win before their bankroll bust.

My average slot games hours is just an hour since I’m easy to be bored but some players just play auto spin so they spend more hours playing in general.

have you tried using anti blue light or anti reflection glasses? because for me it helps when i play longer on my smartphone. but you should see a doctor to ask about your problem because it is possible that the discomfort in your eyes is due to staring at the screen for too long.... and i also feel that we shouldn't have to be in front of the screen too long when playing. maybe 1-2 hours is enough in a day. because more than that you might experience discomfort in your eyes or you could potentially lose more money and build unhealthy gambling habits.

Though I can stay on an online casino for hours, both gambling and analyzing sport games. But when it comes to gambling alone, I literally don't think I spend up to an hour gambling straight on a casino after each session, of which though I may gamble multiple times per day, but not one straight at a time. Simply because the hours spent are never a factor to guarantee success but rather luck. Hence, that's enough reason why I always headover to a casino with a budgeted amount I intend to try my luck with while gambling, knowing fully well it is a game whose outcome are a product of random algorithm. Because if I'm not mistaken, I guess each session of a slot game hosted by pragmatic play are usually 15 seconds, which means for an individual to gamble for an hour, that means he/she needs to have played 240 rounds in an hour. Of which assumed he staked $0.2 per game, that would have been roughly $48 gambled per hour, which is still an affordable amount.

Hardly 30 minutes cause it's not that exciting as dice to me, for some reason.LOL. But I've heard that people spend hours on playing slots even watched live streams that go on for 10 to 12 hours straight which is mostly sponsored but still it's kind of immersive for someone to be able to play that long. I am not that okay with spending too much money which could be another reason why my game time is just lesser.

Of course sometimes we always get carried away by the excitement we get when watching those slot games, but I think you need to set a limit on when you're going to stop and still give it a break for sometime you don't need to spend an hour as you used to, Because constant watching of those slot games can damage the eye.

This will be subjective and everyone is different from the endurance of his body, I myself lately if playing slots is always an hour or less than that because usually the average money I use in casino runs out in one hour in playing slots, maybe you need to check your eyes and do not force yourself to continue to play even if you are in a very happy condition when playing slots, or you can use glasses to protect your eyes from the pain of the light from the monitor you use, it is far better.

It depends on when it's the weekend d I have enough sleep I can go for the whole none but with break intervals, this is so because I have enough energy to cover up for the eye burning of the screen light while playing games.

Slot not exclusive I give equal time to.all game unless sports bets that don't require my active involvement.

Play slots when the game is good and balance will last a long time, but if play a bad game with infrequent folds, balance will run out quickly. Playing slots is most comfortable when make a deposit with friends and enjoy it together as entertainment. Playing slots when feel comfortable can last up to 6 hours non-stop. replace the game with a new game that has not felt the sensation of lasting a long time with slots. However, slot games are very difficult to get big wins

Playing slot together with friends? I never experienced this since I preferred playing solo when gambling to avoid blaming when loss. The only time I gamble with friends is when we are visiting physical casino and bet on table games such as Blackjack but we do play with our own bankroll not combined.

Slot games is best played when I’m alone since I can solo the profit when I hit huge win and no blabbing when I lose.

My hours of playing slot varies on what day I play but during weekends I can spend 3 to 4 hours on slot especially if I’m aiming for a decent mutli.

I often play during my free time with an allocated budget. Depending on how lucky I am, I play until I hit my target winning amount or until my fund is depleted.  Sometimes it takes many hours, sometimes my session don't last even an hour.  But one thing I am sure, I always make sure I do not exceed with my budget.

My advice would be to stop playing games and then go to the doctor, even if you use glasses recommended by the doctor, if you continue playing for many hours your vision will get worse and every year you will have to change your glasses to heavier prescriptions. Unfortunately, I speak from personal experience, in the past I spent hours playing video games and this worsened my vision and today I am forced to wear glasses and I have stopped playing video games.

Some providers made their slots so interesting that it can result in you playing for hours.
I usually get this nostalgic feeling about some childhood cartoons that used to like to watch and can watch them for hours non-stop. That is how slots make me feel.
On days when I am just lazing around I can play longer. On days when I have deadlines the time spent on slots are decreased.
The hours depends on my schedule for the day.

I never regulate my exact time in gambling, but I understand that it should have reasonable limits. Although it is easy to lose track of time being in excitement or addiction to the game, when other things in life do not interest us much. I have experienced such feelings before, but after many years I realized that it is necessary to have a priority in real life and not to make huge bets compared to our earnings, following this rule I am calm, and therefore do not devote too much time, I think no more than a few hours a week is enough for me.

You lack self control, and that's a issue you have to work on. Playing physical slots was easier to handle because the casino had to close at some point and you had to leave, but with online casino, someone who lacks self control will struggle with it. Since it is a problem, it is not a must to play in online casino's, if it is becoming a problem to you, stay playing slots in physical casinos, so that there can at least be that difficulty with access, and you will solve the issue of playing all the time.

When you are so desperate to make a huge win you dont check how long you spend playing slot game. For those who say gambling is supposed to be fun and they are more interested in slot game do you think they feel bored when playing slot games. And what do you mean by healthy? Well it depends on what you mean. Most persons never see gambling as a healthy activity while some are more comfortable and relaxed when they are gambling.

Jeez so there are people who are ready to gamble till they vision becomes a problem? I cannot relate with this though but you are right, they should go see a doctor if not it becomes a problematic health challenges.

ha i know this feeling but to be honest slots are not as addictive to me since there is nothing much i can do but hope for some luck since there is no strategy for me to be good at it
just limit your screentime and find other hobbies that can be done outside of looking at a device you can still play but make sure to rest your eyes sometimes

I have worked in a mini printing press before, where I served as a typist working straight 6-8 hours daily, sitting down and typing 6 days a week. It got to a point where I was developing little eye issues, and I was advised to reduce the amount of time I spent looking at a screen. Ever since then, even with the use of medicated glasses, I still reduce how much time I spend with my eyes directly looking at a screen. If I'm gambling, I don't have specific time, and if I start feeling uncomfortable, I stop immediately without hesitation.

entertainment personality and serious personality, when playing slots or physical casinos with friends it doesn't matter because my life needs crazy entertainment by playing slots jokingly not taking it seriously. of course if I want to bet seriously I prefer to be alone because I can focus on the game I'm facing. if you have never felt betting with friends it might be a little different and more entertaining because of the joking effect. everyone can have a dual personality

Be honest here. What makes your eye uncomfortable is not gambling alone. You have others things you do with the computer that aside from gambling and also how you use your other gadgets can also contribute to the eye issues. Maybe you still do other online jobs that makes you stay up to 6-8 hours a day on the computer. By what you just said you dont stay up to that hours being a typist but you still fee the same eye issue which you blame gambling for it. I doubt it is gambling that made you still feel that way.

This is the right decision because besides the fact that sitting in front of the computer for a long time can lead to problems with vision, but also problems with posture will be added, but this is not the worst thing, because there is also hypodynamia, from which all organs suffer, I recently learned about this and now I try to move much more often. And as for the time with slots, I, like you, if I feel a little discomfort or that my emotions begin to put too much pressure on me, this means that the game is beginning to take hold of me and I will not continue, I will close the game and go do other things. I just know that next time I will come and I will have clean and fresh thoughts for the game.

It's either you are reading the comment from the left side of your bed or you are drawing your own conclusions based on what you understand.If you read clearly, I said I have worked as a typist, which is where I started having those eye pains, which sometimes lead to headaches. Currently, I don't even allow myself to use any gadget to the extent that I will discomfort myself. Gone are the days when I don't have a choice other than to finish the work I have on my desk. I don't say gambling made me feel that way; you should read it clearly before coming out with "HONESTY."

I suppose you have some vision problems. It happened to me that I saw blurry, but not from betting, rather from reading on the PC with a lot of light. It turned out to be migraines. I controlled it by using less brightness on the screen and the blessed dark mode, which didn't exist a few years ago.

Funny enough I have a thing for slots and so I don't see myself indulging in playing it for hours, right from time I know what I want through playing slots games and I wouldn't want that to repeat itself so I rather stay far from it, sorry about your eyes but then slots games ain't advisable to keep on for a long period of time so I advise you avoid slots games cause they are more addictive than anything, I'll rather prefer sports betting or any minors and again do well to go oj a checkup for your eyes.

I really don't enjoy slots, I do play It when I'm not in the mood to analyze matches in the bookies, but wanna gamble, so I settle for it and just watch the spins do it's magic. One major disadvantage is that it burns funds real quick and I don't have a big budget for gambling, so I don't play for long so I can have reserves for my regular chase of the bookies. Since I'm not a big fan, I'm not even inclined to go on for hours even when I've more funds available for gambling.

To answer the question of the thread title, I have never played slots for even one hour straight in my life. For me it is too simple game, so I quickly lose interest, often a few minutes is enough. The only thing is if you constantly change slots, then the process of playing will be more exciting. And in general, the desire to play for hours in the slots apparently depends on a certain psychotype of a person.

What can be advised to those who play a lot of slots? Switch to some other interests, dilute the game of slots them. Life is multifaceted, there is a lot of interesting things in it.

Okay, speaking from experience, because I have definitely gotten sucked into screens too long, especially when something exciting is going on.  Its hard to peel yourself away!  But when your eyes start that burning, strained feeling, its your body waving a red flag and being like Yo time for a break!

Our eyes are muscles after all.  Use any muscle too long without a rest and itll get tired and achey.  I try to see those sore eyes as my cue to step back, even if I dont want to and  a quick break can do wonders - walk around, grab some water, just give your eyes a sec.  They will thank you for it! And you will probably dive back into the screen feeling refreshed.  

On week days, not more than one hour is okay for me. But on weekends, I can spend more than one hour since I have more time to spare. Spending so much time viewing computers or phones could be harmful to the eyes, hence it is better to protect your eyes. When I expose my eyes for a long time, it leads to serious pain and headaches.

He was simply explaining how his exposure to computers due to his work affected the health of his eyes. He said nothing about gambling.

If you are playing anything for hours id say its unhealthy.  Mow add in that its hurting your eyes 100% you should slow it down a bit.  Maybe set a timer for yourself.  If ypu cant stop np matter whats going on then ypu migjt need to habe some help from friends or family.  Or even more a professional.  Either way try to slow it down a bit

Maybe you are playing like lying down? I do not play slots for hours though, I mean I don't have that big capital to begin with to stay with slots and play it for to long. But definitely, others could relate as most of us by age 30 might have signs that we have put a lot of strain in our eyes and we need sunglasses already as our vision is affected by having in front of the computer and laptop.

It's hard to give advise mate, we don't want to say that you should lessen your playing time because as gamblers we understand where you coming from. But maybe just go and seek medical help, or maybe just lessen the brightness of the screen or just play on your laptop or pc and not on your cell phone. At least a bigger screen might help in the long run.

In general, it is not healthy to stare at a screen for hours and hours, regardless whether you are gambling or not. I used to happen to me when I was pretty much into videogames and could burn half day playing on my computer.

I would advice you to limit your bankroll or the number of spins you do during each one of your gambling sessions, so they end up being shorter than usual and your eyes do not suffer.

I am not a slot lover, but I can perfectly understand why so many people can spend hours trying their luck on those games (which may be the less profitable ones, by the way).

And again while gambling, especially at night makes sure that you reduce your device screen brightness to almost the bearest minimum that will not burn your eye out from the screen light, and if you are someone that works on the screen for so long, you should try using anti blue ray glasses it helps a lot in protecting your eye from screen light, but If you are already getting pain from the eyes that means you will have to visit eye clinic for a check-up.

The feeling of winning makes you stay longer on the screen and sometimes it's not about the slot it's about your eyes how much you can withstand screen for hours without it getting heavy, so personal I will suggest you either work your eye sight or become more realistic with your slot games hence you will give up real quick with playing when you're not making progress.

Just be self disciplined that's the major way to cope any kind of habit that you're uncomfortable with, it's your life gain control over it.

Listen to your body.

If your eyes start to hurt, you might want to stand up and go for a bit of a walk around the corner. Get some fresh air.

In the end, each one decides what to do with their life, but spending hours in a slot machine seems a bit too much for me personally.

I've only played maybe 5-10 minutes at most the few times that I've tried them. Not really into them.

The best is to stop gambling and do something not related to what will let you be checking your device. I mean to do something physical and not digital.

I have played for a long time when I am gambling. I put my device on eye care. But I played not often. Just during weekends.

No matter how long you play slots I sure it won't be full day and when using cellphone to gamble it would be better to dim the light of your cellphone and as much as possible in brighter room so that the light exposure on the screen doesn't feel so painful to the eyes.
I have always done that from the past until now in using cellphones or others such as computer PC and until now I have never felt or had any problems with eye health.

Playing slot games for hours is not recommended because that can make you difficult to stop yourself. You already got the effect playing slot too long so you should stop from playing slot for a while and focus on your medication on your eyes. You don't need to play for horus too often even if you enjoy the game because that is not worth for your health.

I only play for less than 30 minutes in gambling especially playing slot games. I don't have much budget to playing gambling so I must limit myself from using too big money. Besides that, I don't want to see my eyes start to hurt like you because if we stay too long in front of our monitor or our devices, our eyes will get the effect.

Actually gambling is the kind of thing where time does not count. I was very addicted to gambling for a while and started gambling whenever I got a chance. And at that time I lost a lot from gambling. And I understand very well that gambling for money is bound to lose and if one continues to gamble like this for a long time he will eventually lose everything. I still gamble but within a limitation. Set aside 5% of my income for gambling and gamble for a maximum of 2 hours a day and 2 days a week, be it slots games or any other game.

I can't be sure of this accurately but I will say that I can survive depending on how the game goes, if the game allows me to win then I usually last quite a long time, previously I had won quite a big win at the casino, well after that win the bet I made didn't last long, I don't know why, but it's clear that luck is not on my side.
Honestly, of course what I want is a short gamble that makes a profit, Like when I need money to handle other things, well on a whim I gamble on slots because there is a cashback balance from the casino, it makes me win but without thinking I immediately cash it out, this is what I want where just by using a short time I have already withdrawn the profit but this will not happen if I am not lucky enough.

Correct, we don't have to check the time or have specifics with regards to our gambling. Specially now with online, maybe you want to play when you wake up, or when you are about to sleep. What's important is that if you are just a casual gambler, you might want to stay within your budget for lets say for a month and that's is.

As for me, I just play when I feel like I wanted and test my luck. Sometimes when I wake up after a short nap. Or even in weekends, if my wife and some of our friends wanted to go to physical casinos then we do and play for hours.

Have some check up and consult your doctor. There is something that you are feeling that you do not know in your eyes when you are in monitor for eyes.

It is important to have our eyes checked for us to know if we are experiencing something already that needs to be cured asap.

I am telling this because we are the same, I do not play slots for hours but with other things, that is what I do and have it checked already.

I think playing 2 to 3 hours would be enough for me to play slots. I often go to casino near our house and hang out in there playing it but my max since I played was like 3hrs, yeah its also hurting on eyes. But you can always go to cafe and refreshment lounge to have some drinks while at it.

I don't have a specific timeframe for slot or any other gambling games, it depends on my mood and the time that I have on hand to play. I try not to dedicate too much time to gambling because it can be addictive so sometimes no matter how I'm being entertained I force myself to quit.

Anybody that is always on screen needs to take care of their eyesight, like being very active on this forum, at work and ofcourse gambling sites, they should find a solution like recommended glasses. The direct brightness from screens can damage the eyes on the long run, my experience was that I started having blurred vision, I couldn't read tiny words, I had to see a doctor that gave me glasses and medication, I'm fine now.

That's a lot of time though, playing 2-3 hours, but I guess when you are having fun while in a casino, you can't really check what is the real time as obviously we have discussed that there are no clocks whatsoever in brick and mortar casinos.

But online, I can't go down and play that long, for sure it will hurt our eyes. Unlike in physical casinos wherein maybe you can just go around and watch other players even if you are not betting or if you have lose all your money and you don't want to go home yet.

During the week, I usually spend one to two hours playing slots. I like to play in the evenings because it’s a quieter time at home and I can focus on the game without too many interruptions. On the weekends, I play a little more!

I anticipated this would be an issue when I read about your hours spent playing slot machines. I enjoy slots as well, but I rarely spend more than half an hour on them; they start to get boring after a while. I believe that's part of your problem—you've been spending too much time on slot games.

There is a saying that "health is wealth." I suggest you visit an eye care center or consult a doctor. Once a person loses their sight, it’s a significant loss; our eyes are incredibly important. Remember, too much of anything is harmful. Try to reduce your gambling time and engage in other activities. This will not only be better for your health, but it will also help you reduce your losses and maintain your mental well-being.

As for me, since the amount I gamble is limited to 20-30$, the amount I mentioned takes 2-3 hours and sometimes when I'm unlucky, it's gone in less than an hour and of course when that happens, I stop and better luck next time, that's all.

But it often happens to me that every time I play, I don't even get 2 hours to play, honestly. Because I also have things to do as a family man.

gambling for at least two hours is how long I can intend to last because there are other more important things I can spend time on and not just gambling. Before now, I also created a similar topic like this one where I asked how long should one stay at the casino, there were lots of opinion on that topics. I can just easily get exhausted for that two hours of gambling and will need to do something else.

Yes, in real casino I cant mind the time and it pass like you thought it was just 20mins only. But for online I cant play more than that cause I am bored maybe because the ambiance in real casino house is more relaxing to play than in an online gambling site only. Try it on real casino house mayne you could stay there for like more than I mentioned time. Who knows you might enjoy it more than me.

It's a good one though but it's not everyone that has the same mentality as you though.The way and manner people engage themselves in playing is definitely what makes it lasts longer than expected.
The playing duration can depend on various activities of the players and players goals.The gaming patterns and practices literally has a role to play aswell.

Steering at your phone or computer screen for too long, like several hours can be very hurting and dangerous to the eyes, most especially when your screen brightness is too high, this could damage the lens of your eyes, making one to go blind or face potential blindness as soon as they are getting of age.

Advice is to try as much as possible to minimize your screen time everyday, and in days when you must spend several hours looking at your screen, ensure that your device brightness is turned down to a level that is healthy for the eyes, and also remember to ensure that the eye comfort shield is on at all times, this goes a great length to ensure your eyes doesn't hurt if you spend hours steering at the screen.

I myself do sometimes spend hours playing Slot games, most especially in the night during sleeping hours when everyone had gone to sleep and every where is cool and quiet, this is the best time to enjoy slot games as far as I know, but then, we must ensure to adhere to every health guide as related to the eyes to prevent early blindness.

Prioritize eye safety is very important from playing betting games to non-stop. I have experienced this playing slot games for a long time of 8 hours. and was really shocked immediately my eyes were blurry but returned to normal. until now trauma to stare at the screen for a long time, I didn't think it would happen playing slots while lying down in the room turned out to be not good. introspection must play with a good position and set a certain hour time with sufficiency

I don't gamble every day especially when playing slots, it's only occasionally and can be said when playing only 1 hour or even less than that because the funds have run out first.
Not so sure this advice is helpful enough, but if your eyes are tired from staring at the screen for a long time it is better to stop even if you have just played for 20 minutes or less, this is for your eye health or lowering the brightness of your monitor screen, but I am used to the darkness display because I think it is quite helpful.
Do not force yourself to continue gambling if you are already experiencing fatigue either eyes or other body.

I don't play slot though but I think the hour or hours I will stay in a slot game depends if I am making profit or not because if I am not making profit I will be so disturbed and worried and I will be eager to end the game but if I am making profit it will be interesting and I will be feeling happy to continue and then once I hit money that I feel it is okay for me I will back out or stop for the main time before the game will turn against me. However, the more time you spend on a..., if you are not discipline or careful you will become an addict which can be very disastrous and can make one not to make good use of his or her money.

Eyes will get tired quickly if exposed to light for too long, it is very common for various reasons. Age factors cannot be avoided or other problems such as eye health problems, regular check-ups are needed to maintain eye health and if necessary use glasses to avoid eye fatigue quickly.
Actually, I have experienced the same thing after playing for hours, after that I immediately stopped to avoid eye problems in the long term.

There is no suggestion if it happens as you tell, in general, almost the average slot gambling player plays for hours, sometimes I have seen sitting in the morning until evening and connect again at night until morning again, this is what I often have people who are involved in slot activities.

Just a small advice just reduce playing slots, try to set time well and look for busy/work during the day, try to play slots at night just about 3-4 hours, whether in that time has a victory or Losing, the point is that at that time it must be enough to gamble, then rest so that the eyes are not swollen and have a disease.

In my understanding only yourself who can manage time in your activities, use time to rest perfectly.

Yes, that's clear and that's one of the reasons why time constraints are mandatory for gamblers because it's true as you said that being in front of the screen for too long will have a negative impact on eye health and I've certainly felt it, actually this problem also applies to other activities that we do on the internet, not only in online gambling activities but also limits on internet usage are also needed because the effects are the same, they can affect eye health. So the conclusion is that there are still other things that we have to take care of besides financial problems, one of which is the eye health problem that we are discussing here.

The few times I happen to play slots, I don't play more than an hour because it's not my regular kind of game. Then the chances of winning are not really that fovourabld. Most times I just see it like it's a way of losing my money, so I'm not really invested in it. I  play slot games  20 minutes, above to a maximum of one hour, is enough for me. I'm cool with my sports betting, watch the games with friends on weekends, and if I get my little wins, I move on.

20 mins is already too long for me for slot games, while it has nothing to have huge win since i always choose the minimum bet amount but it simply just don't go that long when i'm playing due to probably of lossing lol. I never had a huge win playing slots but it doesn't mean that i will stop doing it, sometimes it makes my past time, like while watching series/movies/tv shows then my one finger just tap on the screen lol

In your case i suggest use anti rad or anti-blue light glasses while playing, too much screen time especially if you're so focus an near to your screen is not good. Well, much better go to eye specialist for check up

If you have eye pain when looking at the monitor screen for too long, then the advice is to reduce your time in these activities. In this case is slot betting, because if you continue to do it but there is no balance with healthy food and exercise and regular rest, then your health will continue to experience problems and it is feared that it will get worse. So yes, do just a few minutes of betting, because doing it too often by spending a lot of time will also not guarantee to win. So yes, bet with your own comfort level, no need to target big wins, and no need to chase losses.

I don't play up to an hour and I'm fine with it so let's say like uo to 45minutes thereabouts that's how long I can play for slots but recently I had thought of playing because it's been awhile since I stopped playing slots games, and it's all because of its high addictive features not counting down on the losses but slits usually have a way of luring someone out of their minds and decisions. And for your eyes you need to reduce the time range you spend on slots that will help tho.

I see you're a big fan of slots, playing for hours on end requires a strong focus and resistance to greed, because that's the easiest place to spend money, LOL.

I place sports bets more often, it's more interesting for me, watching both teams while placing bets on the favorite club really shakes up the adrenaline, it's very fun, the real entertainment.

You say your eyes hurt when you play for hours on end, your main problem is in your eyes, buddy, you need to get them checked out immediately.

45 minutes to one hour for me as well with the online gaming right now. Or even less if I suddenly went on a losing streak and I don't know, maybe I don't want to deposit anymore as I have a gut feeling that I will not recover and could be depositing more.

For the eyes, it's better to rest it when you feel that it is hurting. And for me since my IRL job also takes time for me to be in the front of PC or laptop all the time. Most of the time it will really hurt and that is the sign that I need to take a rest and not play online games anymore.

Put an amount where you will rest after it's gone. In my case, 300 PHP was lost in our local online gambling application and then I am gone. That way, I can rest, go back to work, or do some household chores while my eyes are getting their good rest.
But if you don't like that kind of idea then you could always just buy an eyeglass with anti-radiation, maybe that will help with sore eyes when too exposed to either the computer or the smartphone.
The thing about gambling is it's not meant to be played for a long time especially now that we are exposed way too much with our monitors and phones. Our eyes will dry and that's when it hurts the most.

Take the short   breaks ^{around 3-minutes-long} every hour and during each break make around 300 hands frictions about one another. Such action would stimulate the blood flow across your brain and other parts of your body,  eyes including. Such exercise is better to make when walking rather than when seated or while on your feet . I practice this technique for my relaxation during the gambling.

Not only in slot gambling, but it is good if we can gamble not too long because gambling for a long period of time is not a good thing. Maybe some people who are lucky enough to get their winnings do not withdraw their winnings but continue their gambling session by increasing their bets or keeping them the same as before, actually this is the right of each but the most correct way is to stop at the right time.
Gambling for a long time is feared is the loss of self-control when gambling which can result in bad things. Apart from the funds that we must limit, the time we use to gamble must also have limits, what is clear is that we must know when to stop gambling.

Do you really endure this flickering before your eyes for hours? I am sure that it is better to play several times for a maximum of half an hour (this is more than enough, slots are a fast gambling game) than to sit and play for hours. Such a passion already indicates the risk of gambling addiction.

I don't think this flickering is much worse than the flickering most people watch all day, on their monitors, TVs, and phones.

Those things are also flickering at, say, 60Hz.

It's usually recommended to take a break from those screens, at least every couple of hours.

I have long slot sessions when I get into the money... so if I hit something nice or sometimes the slots keep me alive (I go down, I hit something, and go back up...). But that doesn't happen often, I often don't have as much free time to play as much as I want.

Limit your time playing slots, that would be the easiest way... you'll just have to check how strong your character is. Let us know what you did and if you succeeded.

I'm not talking about the refresh rate of the screen. For a long time, the screens have been super high-quality, for example, on phones. I'm talking about flashing pictures - it's boring and exhausting. And if you also lose (which is exactly what happens most often), then what's interesting about it? However, this is a subjective opinion, many people really like slots. But "hanging" for many hours in a row in such a game is clearly an early symptom of the risk of addiction.

Health should be consider first because with good health you can be able to enjoy gambling more. When gambling and you are not feel fine health wise it is just best to stop because it doesn't make any sense struggling to gamble when one is not feeling fine. Problems with the eyes can be cause by high brightness of light from computer device and if this is a problem to ones health it should be given a good attention to take care of it first. Gambling can be played at anytime, one don't need to force his/her self to make money from gambling at all time.

I totally agree because I would also find it very hard to see the slots spinning in front of my eyes for hours, maybe I am getting very old but I can't even stand computer games for hours, not to mention the bright pictures that are used in the slots and the effects that appear on the screen they are very bright.
And if you consider that each spin decides some fate of money, then this has a strong effect on the brain, because the consciousness is constantly under tension, and you constantly experience an emotion after each spin, either a little joy or a little sadness.

I rarely spend more than an hour straight playing slots. I think I have a sort of mental barrier that tells me if I get close to an hour, I need to stop. And usually, it's even less. I believe that's for the best because it helps me avoid gambling binges, which can end badly, as we can see from stories shared in this very section.

For me it is tentative in speaking the time that is expired in gambling slots because I was still overwhelming two hours in one session, depending on the resistance of capital that I played and the level of pleasure that I got if it made me feel bored 30 minutes I was finished and did not continue again and prefer other activities to make my day much better.

But as a suggestion to use a limited time in gambling every day or in certain sessions so that you can maintain mental stability because usually what I feel when it is longer in Peprjadian will make us more greedy or forget the time in doing other activities.

Of course, you should gamble when you are physically healthy and your mind is good. How would you want to gamble when you are sick? Gambling is for entertainment, and you can enjoy this entertainment only when you are healthy. So pay attention to your physical and mental health first, if you are sick, get well first, and when you are mentally stressed, refrain from gambling. Because during such problems, when you lose money while gambling, you may become more worried, and you may break down more mentally. Therefore, it is very important to gamble while maintaining a healthy and proper mental balance.

When i do play gambling specially on slots then the session i do have only be on 1 hour maximum. Here are the reasons.

1. Limit of my bankroll and if it lost on short time period then i do completely stop.
2. When im already on profits then i do call it a day and play into the next.
3. Bust up all of my bankroll then completely stop
4. Got bored and trying to play another

Its not on fixed 1 hour because it will really be that according into my mood because there are times on which i do have that fun when playing
and on the moment that i do get bored then this is where i do changed up the type of games. So this would really be that situational.
For having some eye problems then i dont really see any problem into this one.

When I play slots, I do enjoy it and I cannot notice that it's taken an hour and even more. That's enjoyable and when the time is quick, that only means that we like it and we're enjoying it.

It only feels unhealthy when you have nothing left anymore and you do unnecessary things for you to keep on playing slots.

You spend money to fund for other bills and yet, you're getting it and spending it for slots.

I also feel that way when playing slots with consistent small wins and it will only increase the duration of our play. Because the capital is still maintained, it is very possible that we will continue to play until we get a satisfying win. I know that is not a good activity because I may not be able to control it. But when we are in the joy of almost getting a big win, we feel motivated to continue the game for hours in one session. I think every slot player feels that way.

Yep it may be a common mistake that is often made because if we are in such conditions time goes on without us knowing, even we don't know how much time has been used then we are at the point of defeat and the time we spend quite a lot.

I think it is necessary to limit the time in using alarm in gambling so that we feel that there is a reminding of gambling and not doing it excessively even though our capital is still a lot or remains in a win that slowly continues to increase our capital in gambling.

Playing slots just for the sake of entertainment is not something wrong especially if it's just to spend free time after we work, but playing for hours until your eyes sting and even hurt just because you keep staring at the screen of course you need to leave this habit because it will only have a negative impact on your mentality and physical later, apart a time limit on gambling, Of course responsibility and also having a limit on the money spent on gambling is very important, because however when you tend to spend everything you have in gambling then it is difficult to be able to return it, when we want to spend money on slots or gambling more than paying bills or fulfilling family responsibilities then without realising if we are actually addicted.

We do things that are too much but these things we do enjoy. So if it gets to the point that our eyes hurt, it's our problem that we have to deal with.

But I know my limitations and if I feel something is hurting, my eyes, my back and it aches, I'll simply quit and take some rest. I think Op and the others that are feeling that.

They need to give themselves some me-time so that they will still remain healthy after they gambled for a long time playing slots.

I do not play slot games too long because that can trigger my lose become big. I don't want to have that experience. Playing slot games need to know about how long he can stay in casino and how much money he can spend. If he doesn't know for sure, he may lose too much money and will not stop from gambling before he can take his lost money back to him. We must control ourselves in gambling and not trying to play the gambling games too long. And we must realize that gambling is just an entertainment and no need to use it too long.

Gambling starts as entertainment but can dramatically go in that direction when playing slot machines and there are tons of graphics, sound and a lot of stories like Medieval ones who can hook one up with huge multipliers and bonus features. If a person does not know what he is doing and keeps playing for a lot of time the chance to lose money is really really big. Most people start playing slot machines to pass an entertaining afternoon or evening after a hard day of work thinking of it as a relaxing way to remove stress from one self. That is good if you do it with little money or demo mode but when you start throwing in deposit after deposit that becomes addiction which should be cured immediately. The more hours you start playing the more close to addiction you are.

I have a gambling time limit which I set for myself when gambling, and if my time is up, I quit. I gamble for 20 minutes a session. I am more of sportbet than slots but whenever I am playing slot, I use only 20 minutes. This has been helpful to me in terms of managing my bankroll.

Why should someone even be gambling when they are not okey health wise? It doesn't make any sense in the first place. If ones is having any health challenge, I think the first thing they should do is to take care of that situation first before gambling. Gambling is continuous, it's not as if when they leave it for one day or more they will not still come back to meet it. Eye problem is a serious challenge and if one is experiencing any, they should handle it before it escalate.

I don't have a plan to take more than an hour to play slot games, I do just single game of slot if I win good but if not I will stop its too much draining to eyes focus too much on the screen or even tv if you have, else you will use anti-rad glasses, but it hit different if you win of course. Just play as you can take the game but if you feel tired and exhausted already it seems its a sign to stop for a while.

Then this simply means you are not into gambling, for me, it's basically impossible to play slot game for just 20 minutes and quit, not because you ran out of bankroll, but because it's the time you set for yourself which has elapsed.

Better to simply say that you are not into slot games and this will be much more understandable and agreeable to be true because basically, slot games gets more exciting when one spend more time playing, like I myself can spend several hours playing Slot games, for the anything really, but just to kill time when I don't have anything to do and feeling bored.
I think it's better for me not to even play a slot game at all than starting and only spending 20 minutes on it, the only time I do not spend time on slot games is if in the process of playing, something important comes up which needs my urgent attention.

Slot is so exciting that I can't place a single game and stop for a session, the fun must go on for a short while, until a bit of win is achieved. However, holding on to the game for a longer time isn't encouraged, not just because of the eye straining effects, but for the numerious losses that'll continue to surface in the process, which terminates the amusement of playing on slot machines.

In a nutshell, I'd support wagering few cents in a small space of time lesser than 2 hours for players whose eyes hurts.

I guess 1or 2 hours is okay for gamblers to spend on slots because it will allow the gambler to think far to know how to bet for his favorite, but there are some who don't spend much time on slots because they know how to select to focus on other things without wasting much time on slots. Open your eyes to the laptop or phone for slots over some hours, it will make you not to be healthy sometimes because you will not feel comfortable with the light that is coming out from the electronic. Which too much of it can cause eyes effect.

I will advise gamblers to spend short time in playing slots from gambling center because not everybody use to play once in a day, and those who use to Play 3 or 4 times a day will not make them to be healthy base on the depression of losing or earning little from the slots.

Regardless of the results, I think taking a break is a mandatory action for a gambler, especially those involved in online gambling, because gambling for too long will have a bad impact on eye health and this actually also applies to various other things in the sense that not only when you gamble but when you use your smartphone to access other social media. On the other hand, there are some very positive benefits from taking a break at the right time, which will prevent you from losing too much money and secondly, this action will also prevent you from the problem of bad impacts that can occur on your eye health.

I remember before when I was a new gambler at the casino here in the crypto gambling business it took me a few hours to play slot games, the longest was 5hrs. But now that I rarely play in a month, 2hrs is a long time for me to play gambling.

But like others, my gambling money is also limited when I play, because it is difficult to have no limits when playing gambling which usually ends in big losses.

I know it's related, but reading the Op's post that you quoted, and reading your reply, your reply seems off from what op is asking about, no advice from you concerning the eye issue op complained about, touching a bit on this would have given your comment more credibility and substance, but that's by the way, we learn every day I guess.

When we are new to something, it's always like just as you have said it, we tend to spend much more time doing that thing because at that very moment, it's still something fresh in my mind and it's very entertaining, but as times goes on and we begin to get used to that thing, we begin to naturally lose interest because it's doesn't appear as exciting as it used to be in the very beginning, I guess this is why game providers and casino tends to list new slot games every month as a way to offer gamblers something fresh to keep them glued, lol 😁

Yes, it is very important to do, in addition to resting the eyes and mind, it can also avoid several other things such as the urge to play longer and some approaches that are actually not so right, but most people stop and rest when they have run out of money. :D
In the end, the main motivating factor for someone to be able to rest when the time comes is only with restrictions, this is with time and money restrictions.

Do you say just an eye problem? Mostly too much stay in slots can actually results to a addiction so just as you stay longer in it and it causes sn effect in your eyes , it's same way it leaders you to addiction so be self conscious about all of this if you really want to stay longer in gambling. Sometimes we negkets the fact that we need to stop in between but because of the fun and results we get we keep up with it. I think he's been staying longer and that's what has caused the issues with his eyes but how about a break for awhile.

20 minutes is actually a short time and if managed properly and you keep to it, then you will be rest assured of minimizing your losses since aside from the budget you might have set out for gambling purpose you also manage your time efficiently which will also contribute to keeping that budget intact without breaking limit due to over staying in a casino.

I never end up betting for hours, and when I play slots, I take some precautions, like turning off the sounds, since I know they’re designed down to the last detail to be extremely addictive. My average slot session is about 20 to 30 minutes, and I don’t get hooked into playing longer because I’m well aware that it’s EV- (negative expected value) and that the more you play, the more likely you are to lose everything.

That said, there have been times when I hit a good jackpot within 10 minutes, and what I did was stop and cash out.

As a responsible gambler having having a time limit and money limit is very important , it is a style of managing your money in gambling just to gamble with the amount that you can afford. Gamblers needs to understand that you don't need to use so much time in gambling before one can be able to win in gambling.  Spending so much time in gambling you can even lose more, the chmces of winning just like you desire is very slim.  It is a very responsible act for a gambler to know the limits of gambling.

Yeah, I think that's key.

Being able to manage your time, and money, is a great way to save both of them.

Most people just wander into a casino and spend all their time and money, and the casinos know this. They try to keep everything always the same, no windows, no clock, no idea how much time has passed.

How many hours?... Are you sure you meant hours? ;D
I only play slots if some bonus or promotion is going on, either in the form of no-deposit free spins or some crazy deposit offer that I can't refuse. What is the point of wasting so many hours if you know you can win? I mean it is simple math.

Gambling that is done for too long is indeed not good because it can affect our health and our finances, which in my opinion can be drained considering that defeat in gambling is more dominant than victory. In online or offline gambling, defeat will be more dominant than victory, so we must be able to take the right time to stop gambling for a moment, such as taking time to rest when gambling has produced results, whether it is losing or winning.
I agree more when we take time to rest to calm the mind which if continued can make gambling uncontrollable and as you said with others is to avoid big losses that can indeed occur.
When the gambling that is done can produce profits, we must think that even like that does not mean we have to continue gambling, but we must be able to limit everything properly by taking advantage of the situation.

I generally don't play slots on regular basis. But there were times when I was addicted to them. Slots specially the highly animated ones and with many types of prizes even smaller than the original bet would get you hooked. Many of these slots are provided by a third party and as it is included on different gambling sites but they do provide a immersive experience. There are some slots which gives you more prizes and others and for it to find out, you need to explore many of them. At times, I used to be like 5 6 hours online on some slots. They are fun but the amount you lose goes on increasing. I mostly used to stop when it reached my weekly loss goal.

Yes that is the problem that in most cases they often stop when they have run out of money, so actually stopping is certain but most of them only stop when they have run out of money at that time and of course it is too late because they have lost everything. On the other hand yes you are quite right that something that can make a gambler stop at the right time is with limits but I think I should add something else here that these limits can only be applied by gamblers who do know and understand what and how gambling really is and also only when they already understand the concept of winning and losing in this activity, because applying limits requires awareness.

You are right, when some gamblers go for gambling or make out time to gamble, the only that can make them to stop and take a break is when they have finally lost all their money and has not more money to continue. Speaking of eye issues, staying long on the monitor or screen doesn't have any effect on their eye. But from what I observe if one stays too long betting, at some point, you will not be makt right betting decisions again, your level of concentration and observations will drop leading to drastic decision and losses.

Yes, that's basically what an addiction looks like.

The person is not able to stop voluntarily and can only stop when there's no more money or the thing is consumed completely.

Our brain works similarly for different things that can be addicted, it doesn't matter if it is alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc. It's all the same for the mind.

It's easier to try to keep these things under control early on.

Really, what can you do in 20 minutes? Playing slots takes much more time. I myself can spin them for several hours in a row. Only in this situation can you still get at least something. For example, satisfaction from the process itself. I also watch streams of video bloggers who play slots. So their streams last from 2 to 5 hours or more. And here we are talking about a couple of dozen minutes. This seems funny to me. Either this is not true, or there is deceit here.

I would consider 20 minutes for slots as enough. They are time killers, and not a very creative ones. There are more challenging games in gambling. I cant explain, but for me most of the slots look the same. I dont believe that it is possible to win a lot from slots, so I consider them as a form of gambling that you play for a short session, or finish what is left from deposit. People dont take them serious.

You have said that you can play them for hours. Do you switch slots? Or start one, select autospin, sit and wait?

Slots can be interesting only the first time, when you have never played them before, and just want to try to see what kind of game it is and even try your luck. But playing this game for a long time or even hoping to win something there is unnecessary, it seems to me that in order to understand that you will not win anything in slots, it is enough to play a few times for no longer than half an hour. Maybe someone likes the picture and continues to play, but I do not understand this.

You're wondering why people go ahead for hours on slots games? It's easy and fast to play. In addition, the other rate of players are already carried away with the fun, many problematic gamblers spend way more than 5 hours tapping buttons. These may be as a result of chasing loss, a certain issue with slot players. So, as a starter, it could be dry and boring to stay that long on a slot machine, but when the competition sets in, the player now battles with the house, s/he wouldn't stop until the bankroll is exhausted.

Rest your eyes to make the situation better because after all, it's not about the game but about your habits and the quality of health you have in the end.

Indeed in gambling in the end sometimes we forget about anything including even to eat, drink and other health sometimes when we are too focused always forget important things. But in other conditions, especially to talk about health problems, it is clear that it is a nuisance in the end so there needs to be an improvement from such bad treatment so that we can maintain the momentum we have for gambling but not damage the quality of our health.

Looking at the screen for too long is also not going to be very good because what I know is that the norm for those who are adults will be considered normal to look at only about 2-3 hours a day health version although maybe for the world of work obviously this is sometimes ignored but it will be better than in gambling situations where we don't take our eyes off the screen due to being too focused on gambling.

Yes I believe that accessibility and ease of adapting to almost all games is the reason why many gamblers are comfortable playing this type of slot game and yes I also really feel it and I am sure that your guess is very true that most gamblers who play for hours are most likely gamblers who are trapped in a scenario of chasing losses to achieve recovery, I understand that playing slots is indeed fun but when the game runs for more than 2 hours I think usually the fun will soon turn into tension and also with some pressure especially when you are far from luck, but also sometimes playing for a long time can also happen in a winning scenario because usually gamblers often forget the time when they are feeling extraordinary joy, even though in that situation they should stop and cash out is the most appropriate action, so it can be said that a gambler especially in the type of slot game they can gamble for a long time regardless of the situation, and this is the reason why the ability to stop at the right time is always recommended.

Indeed, when playing slots without sound is very boring like we watch horror movies, there is nothing interesting and it runs flat, even when playing Gate Olympus and getting free spins, the sound of thunder is not heard, it will be very unpleasant because the sound is very important in provoking the passion for gambling, but yes, some people are looking for that pleasure.

It is very difficult to stop after getting a win, there is always one or two decisions to try again so that the win increases, few people like you do that.

if it is difficult to stop playing slot games, it means that you have been affected by imagination or addiction. because the slot effect has an impact on imagining being able to win back a large amount but without realizing the position. people are experiencing a journey of losing money without realizing it because they are affected by slot addiction. slot games are very difficult, different from soccer betting, because slot games have been arranged by the bookie in terms of major influence

Gambling like this isn't good for your health because of the screentime and also giving to much time to Gambling would only increase your addiction level, when people say they spend hours gambling i always wonder why. How can you neglect every other thing that you are supposed to do and focus only on gambling.  Having too much screen time till your eyes hurt means that you lack discipline and if you continue like this you would be affected by the negativities of gambling. I can't relate to your experience, the maximum amount of time I can gamble is 10 minutes and even at that I think it's too much.

Playing slots for hours will give you a headache because you keep staring at the screen... in addition to losing a lot of emotional levels will arise. ;D

Exactly... now I only rely on bonuses with free spins coming. Even if you deposit $15 it only lasts 10 minutes - not hours, so I don't want to get lost in slot games for a long time, in the end we will lose.

Playing slots for hours isn't a good past time. Trust me it's better to stick with games that are slower paced like black jack on live tables. And also the edge on blackjack is much lower.

The issue with slots is that they're specifically made to suck as much money out of you as possible. Everything with them is about getting more money of you. The spins are too fast, the lowest roll value is high, the bonuses are expensive...

I'd suggest to those that play slots for extended play times to try sng get accustomed to blackjack. You can stay on the lowest roll there too and try build or maintain a balance. You can have much longer play sessions with even lower starting amounts.

We already spend too much screen time with our phone and other devices for viewing social media and doing other businesses therefore we should not be doing the same for gambling. Gambling is not supposed to take you too much hours unless you are playing casino games that will require you to be online and constantly monitoring what you are doing. If you are betting on sport games, spending just few minutes analyzing the games on your device is an approximate time then put in your bets and off your phone. Spending too much time on your phone is not good for your eyes and health and also the depression that you can get from losing is not good for you because it will make you get other bad effects that can affect your health.

Gambling is indeed very fun, but on the other hand we also have to pay attention to other things such as health and you have also realized OP that gambling for too long makes your eyes hurt, which means it is clear that you have to put a limit on time because anything that is excessive will always have a bad impact.

So putting a limit does not only apply to the amount of budget that will be bet but also to the time you use which means everything must be done in balance, do not let your involvement in gambling affect your health and also do not interfere with your time for other activities.

Honestly, I disagree.

While slots are obviously created to get you addicted and stuck in the game spinning constantly until you are broke, Blackjack is no better.  Because it is slower paced, it mentally allows you to place more money on one single game.  Think of it as rolling 1 Dollar 100 times in the span of 10 minutes versus placing a 100 Dollar bet on a 10 minute Blackjack game.  Is 100 too much for a Blackjack round?  I doubt it is!

I play slots 0 hours. When I do rarely find myself at a slot machine, I usually get bored within 10 or 20 minutes, but it is always a great time when you hit a bonus. I could see how people get addicted to that rush. It’s similar to making a big play in a sporting event or something like that. Buying endorphins.

Yeah, my experience is quite similar to this as well...

From time to time I might end up inside a casino, maybe when traveling, etc, and sometimes I would just put a few dollars in.

I don't really feel attracted to the games themselves, but when you win something, with all the lights and sound, yeah, I also can see how that can be addicted.

No, of course, I change them. I can't even imagine how you can play the same slot for hours. It's tiring. There should be some variety, right?

Why are you sure that you can't win big money in slots? I personally witnessed one streamer who won several tens of thousands of bucks. It was pretty epic. You should have seen his joy. I haven't seen so much delight in a long time. I almost broke my neck. ))

Wow, I also do this when I travel with friends, during the journey I sit in the car and play games and listen to different types of music. At that time I enter the casino with a maximum of $20-$30. I enter the casino with this kind of mentality, if I can win from here and earn a few more dollars, I will enjoy it and finish it. And I do this, but I never play the casino as an addiction.

Always intension, if I make a profit, I will enjoy it and finish it, and if I lose, there is no problem, it's normal. But I see the maximum time and come out with a profit.

And I don't spend much time playing this game, just bet on some events for a while and try to get the results from there. I don't play the casino there by indicating any time. However, there are friends around me who are very addicted to it. When they can make a good profit from it, they go to the shopping mall and shop as they please. I see this. Am not as addicted as they are to the site, but I have seen from them how they have become addicted to it and spend hours upon hours of time.

Likewise me too ever since I start playing gambling I have not play slots before and I don't have any interest in it. Just like as you mentioned I prefer normally sports betting because the more you watch a match that is how you are increasing your familiarity with those teams. and sometimes it normally increase your chance of winning in gambling, of course playing a slots is indeed boring more especially if you're not used to it.

It is understandable that each players has its own games where he receives fun, entertainment and thrill, but from my point of view, if we take two fast games, slots and Crash for example, then Crash for me has more in every aspect. Each games round is different from the previous and difference is huge, while in slots a lot of spins looks more identically. In addition in Crash games, you see other players, and even though game is repetitive, it is often different. So to say it harder to get bored with Crash than with slots. That is why I was curious how come it is possible to play slots for hours.

sports betting is more efficient in expecting victory, before I bet on sports I liked slot games. but often feel bitter and often lose first from slots. I switched to trying sports betting and it is very different from slot games, finally now I do sports betting and rarely play slots. for some reason I don't know sports betting from the beginning, since childhood I have liked football teams, basketball teams. it is true what you say the more often we watch sports, the more we know about the team

I used to like spending more time on games because I stretched out the process to enjoy the beautiful animation in different slots, music, matches and other things. Now that I have played almost all the slots I wanted, I am already full and it does not give me the same joy as before, so I do not really want to spend a lot of my time on it, I prefer to do it quickly. For example, playing for about 20 minutes is more than enough for me, if I have the amount, then I will try to increase the bet and that's it.

When someone comes to play slots or any other type of gambling, he wants to relax first of all, or make money, there are always only two goals.
But it seems to me that every person wants money to some extent, and to some extent wants to relax. It's just that these measures are different for everyone. But, most likely, over the years, every gambler comes to the point that he only wants to get money from casino.

Those who only want to earn money rely only on luck on slots, even though Slots are games that will ultimately only take their money.
A game that is indeed regulated by the system that players will win first to make them deposit more and then if they deposit more then everything will be taken.

I myself only play for entertainment and the slot games that I play are only games that use free chips without the need to buy, it is limited but makes me quite entertained.

Having that feeling of fulfillment after a while is actually quite important and useful to keep the gambling at bay.

Most addicted gamblers cannot really walk away after 20 minutes if they still have money in their hands.

It's usually not about the enjoyment of the machines, but really about the illusion that they're going to be millionaires with that machine.

I can't really understand why people gamble for hours, it's something I can't relate to. Medical doctors or opticians always advise people to limit their screen because it's capable of affecting your eyes and brain. Sitting on your computer and Gambling for an hour shows lack of control and this can get you in a whole lot of trouble. My reason for saying this is because if you gamble for a long duration the chances of losing a huge amount of money is quite high, and this fuels your addiction even more. If you are trying to recover from this addiction limiting the time you do it is the first step.

What you say is very true, I also only play when I have the opportunity, there are several special offers from this gambling. If a player only focuses on one game, it will take at most 20 minutes for you to lose there. I think no matter how much money you prepare, your money will slowly disappear at the gambling table even if you play at low stakes. Look for games that support skill rather than luck, this can prolong your gambling game.

This usually happens when playing in the highily volatile casino games where winning can be so difficult due to the payout prizes are bigger.
If I just talk out of experience, the eyes burning happens mostly when I have played on several times with the expectation to win and yet I am keep loosing.

So I feel it bugging when spinning overtimes and my trials had not been fruitful. So it feels like my winning opportunities is being manipulated by the house edge.

At the moment, I watches the games played like it's being rigged if I am unable to win so, it all becomes inching that I sometimes forget what by direction is when spinning not until it finishes to spin and provides results. If I am lucky to win I feel this awake but if inexperience losses in a long run it really makes my eyes drop and dizzy.
When this happens, I take a break because I am no more enjoying the games so not to let my looses be like a nightmare, I will just take my leave and returns in some other times.

When we do slot gambling we must be able to limit ourselves in terms of the time we use to gamble and also the money we deposit to bet. when the gambling that is done ends in defeat then we must immediately stop doing it taking a break to rest like with our mentality which I think can be affected if we continue to gamble non-stop likewise when the results obtained are winning we still have to be able to limit the time as best as possible because what must be remembered is that gambling for too long is not good.
In a state of winning or losing sometimes gambling can be longer but that happens because of our own interest in doing it, sometimes when I gamble myself and the spin is good so that it makes the balance I have increase, I continue to gamble more freely but I accept the risk of losing the winnings that have been obtained previously.

That is easy to explain. When you are having fun and enjoying something, time flies fast. One moment you start your gambling session, next moment you realize that few hours have passed already. Dont know your age, but if you are familiar with video games, you will understand and remember how sometimes time passes quickly when the game hooked you. Or with social media, people start with "I will spend few minutes only", wake up later after half an hour scrolling down content. However, all that happens mostly when you get new content, new information. With slots it is difficult, as all you see are spins, same symbols, sometimes new graphics demonstration when you his something rare. That is why I find it difficult to understand how it is possible to play slots for hours.

Most of the time, I play slots because it's part of my work to try different games, so I spend around 10 hours per week on new slots.

When I do it for my own personal fun, we're talking about 30 minutes. After that, I usually get bored and want to do something else.

That is true, slot can make us hooked into the game in an instant because of the many games that we could play and also the multiplier promises that were being shown before you started the game. We must really be careful in playing long hours in these games because they can also be addictive which means we will be losing a lot of money even in just a short span of time.
Slots is an enjoyable game and I will be honest that I spent a lot of time playing it and I also lost some money because of that. As much as possible, let's limit ourselves to playing these types of games because they can really eat your money so fast.

The only factor I've been seeing mitigating on the hours I can spend in playing slot is the financial aspect, when my account is running out of sats, then I try to curb it a little and relax, also, when am engaged on a business or daily job for the day, I try to wait till an done to resume back gambling, it's not a good thing to have the entire day on slot gambling, we still have to rationed it and prioritize doing other things to help our life grow and improve better as we gamble.

Well if you ask me, I can possibly say to you that I spent zero hour in slot game. Simply because I don't enjoy playing slot game, moreover slot game is very risky than that of sport betting. Because in slot game you can easily lose a huge amount of money just within 30 minutes. However i think there's no much difference between slot game and trading, because they work almost the same. And slot game can be very addictive. because when you're in a losing streak you will always want to spend more time in trying to recover from your lost, and the More you keep trying that's the More you keep increasing your loses, Sometimes you can even end up being addicted during this process.

Are you a professional slot tester? I mean, do you review slots for technical glitches or just for the overall review for feel and play? Do you play with your own money, or you get paid for it by your client?

I saw his recent thread about gambling review site which he offers to list trusted casino that approved here in the forum. I think he is playing on the casino to give a review on it based on his experience that’s why he spend more time playing casino games especially slot since it’s the most popular game.

Honestly, I can’t do even an hour of playing slot consecutively on daily basis because my luck on this game is very awful.

Kudos to this guy for dedication just give review.

I will not deny that because it is true what you said in gambling, one of the types of slots can make us addicted to gambling, so we can do it by spending hours and that happens when we are aware or not aware of it. I agree that gambling can make us addicted to doing it, because I myself have experienced it and yes losing money in a short time is one of the things I have experienced some time ago. Losing a lot of money in gambling is a natural thing even though we have set self-limits and that is if calculated from all the gambling that is done. The point is we must be able to maintain our good behavior in gambling with the limits that are set.

An hour every day sounds like a lot to me. That's 1/16th of your non-sleeping life dedicated to gambling.

That's probably on par to eating, which is vital for survival.

If that's considered a small amount, then people who gamble a lot more basically have no time to do anything that brings more joy to their lives.

Stop gambling slots if it is causing your eyes to strain! At least stop gambling for hours at a time. Maybe take a break, walk around, shake things up a bit! Maybe this could be your new stategy. Change machines up every once in a while. Go to a "hot machine" where someone has just left and now you can take over and try to win on a machine that is already warmed up :D

Thats a good advice :)

If I don't have good control, then the whole day won't feel too much, especially if I'm addicted, it will really make our lives restless, every time I will only think and remember about slots, even all of that is really imagined as real before our eyes, recorded very clearly in the brain. and from here, we often forget the time to stop and finally

Even I may have played for a few minutes. After doing it and losing, and losing several times, I chose to step back rather than being addicted to playing again and again. Because 1 hour can become 2 hours and so on without realizing it.

We don't have to force ourselves to playing slot games too long because we must care with our health. You can take a break for a while and do other things so you can also distract your mind not to think about gambling. We must take care ourselves from gambling because we never know if gambling can make us difficult to stop playing gambling. Gambling can tempt us and keep playing gambling so we must be careful and always limit yourself to prevent anything bad happen. We can playing slot games less than 30 minutes and have fun without spending too much money. If we play slot games for too long, that can make us spend so much money which can make us lose all of that money.

I think I have heard about slots game before but to be honest I don't really have any experience in slots game. because it have not been long that I joined gambling so I'm just trying to get familiar with them. But however, with your experience in slots game I think it quite though than sports betting, but since you have already noticed that playing it for a very long period of time is effecting eyes I think it'll good to stick to usual form so that it'll enable you prevent injuries in your eyes.

That's right, in betting or slot machines you can lose all the property accumulated during your life in one minute, just by making a huge bet. But as for trading, you can do it there too, and perhaps even easier. Trump earned 350 million on his token, and he got this money from hamsters who tried to catch the wave in his token.
But it turned out that they all gave away their money, and it happened quickly. And now his token lies dead projects and no one needs it.

According to science, we were meant to understand that too much time spent on mobile or laptop screen is likely to cause a health condition called Digital Eye Strain (DES) or Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Of which it's common symptoms include signs like "Bluer vision, eye fatigue and ear dryness", and as such I was made to understand that the average timeframe expected to be spent on either a mobile or laptop screen, and likewise use blue light filters on your device and regularly take a breaks off the screens after an interval of 3 hours, to avoid eye strain. And as a gambler, I think 3hrs is okay for anyone to analyze a game on his screen or gamble whatever type of game he/she wishes to use at athe said interval of time to avoid eye strain.

If the fund you have in your account, or aim to deposit on a casino is what determine the time you spend on the game I believe you need to be more careful buddy so that your gamblin enthusiasm wont turn into addiction  because the fund is what determine the time spent on game it mean you can sacrifice something more important for the game just for you to quench your thirst for the game.

Personally, it's hard for me to say because everyone's life routine is different. For example, in my case, if I spend more than five to seven hours a week playing slot games or sports betting, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me. Because in my life routine, I only get this much free time to gamble.
Now if I say this time might be good for everyone else, I shouldn't say it because there may be people who, with all their work and everything else, may not have that much time in a week.
So I would say to initially check your life routine and then see how many hours of free time you have and what you are spending them on. Then you will understand for yourself how much time per day it would be better for you to spend on it.

I don't last that long playing, really to play s lots for around 1 hour I would have to win a lot of free Spins and do each spin slowly, I usually don't last very long , of course my strategy may not be like that of the other players, I usually play with very little money , and that runs out quickly, as soon as I run out of money I don't continue playing, of course most of the time I play with 5-7usd and that doesn't take long to spend.

Even if you have small amount and you are lucky to win free spin, I do play and give it a little time before I play again it’s not just as if I will enter in every game after the previous one just ended, I usually might not spend up to 1hour in total in playing slot but if all the time I spent in a day I combine together I do spend more than that some days.

I don't play slots often, but recently I won some free spins and I really enjoyed them. But I would never play slots more then 10 - 15 minutes as they start to bore me fast.

Yeah, I agree.

I think 1 hour is a huge amount of time if you do that every single day.

It's quite literally a massive part of your life, as you only get 16 of those waking hours, plus work to provide for that habit, that's 8 hours left at best.

So, waste about 1/8th of your free life on that?, makes little sense to me really.

Does your last line work? Lol. I'd prefer walking to a malfunctioning machine to replacing a winner, the next spin could be another streak of loss meant for him. However, the best part of switching machines is the little break of strolling to the location. Sitting on screens for too long isn't great for players especially for the medical disadvantages it causes  (https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/the-dangers-of-sitting).

They start to bore you fast and aside that the more you spend time playing it the more money you are likely to spend and waste unless you are lucky enough to be winning or rewarded with free spin after almost exhausting your balance.

I totally understand what you're going through! I don't play slots much myself, only with the money I have left over or that I win from sports betting, so it ends up being quite sporadic and with a very limited time. But I understand that when you're in the middle of a gaming session, it can be hard to stop, especially when you're on a winning streak or are close to achieving a goal.

However, it's important to remember that gambling should be a leisure activity and should not negatively affect your health or well-being. If you're feeling that your eyes are sore or that you're feeling stressed or tired, it's likely that you're gambling for too long and it's important that you set and stick to limits for yourself... it could be a limit on how long you play or a limit on how much you can lose or gain... when you reach these, turn off the game and do something else that can help reduce stress and anxiety.

If you can't cut down on the time, try playing in shorter intervals with more frequent breaks. And the key question is... do you feel satisfied after a long gambling journey or bored and annoyed?

It hasn't worked for me, but i've heard of this working for people quite a few times actually and I don't remember if its an actual strategy or just something I picked up along the way. I think what that does though just sort of refreshes you especially if you're on a shit streak and getting no where. I don't think i'd every want to play on a malfunctioning machine if I can help it but if I can find a good machine that I like for some weird reason or notice somebody jsut got up on one after being there for a pretty long time who knows you could be the one to win the pick up their win when they gave up 3 feet from gold so to speak.

Besides that, playing slot games longer may give you more losses and that will be more of your budget. If you use small bet, you don't have to worry if you will lose too big especially if you can control yourself. If you can win some free spins, that will give you more opportunity to win but don't expect to win big because that will depend on your luck. Play slots games for 15 minutes is enough to have fun because I also do that.
If you lose your money in slots games, you will bore but if you win, you will insist to keep playing slots games and win more money. That will not happen as you want.

It depends on the situation, because for me there are 2 different situation when I'm playing slots. First is with contest/competition and second is without contest/competition.
When I have to play slots without any contest, I will not play it for hours, maybe 1-2 hours will be the max time I will spend for playing slots.
On the other situation, when I'm participating a contest, I can play slots for hours as long as I think that the contest is worth enough.

Unless you have the chance to be given a high multiplier that will make us play longer times, I play slots with breaks. If my money initial deposit loses then I am going to deposit one more. Now if that loses too then I will take a rest and just do something else away from gambling.
I think we should learn that kind of strategy when it comes to playing slots because it's really easy to be absorbed by the games and we should prevent that from happening by taking pauses. If ever we lose, we should move on and think of it as a charity you gave in the online casino because there's no way of getting it back unless we play again and probably lose more money.

Yes you are correct. We don't only need to give only attention to the time but also to the amount of lose. If you have just lose in 2 minutes and it's not the amount you can afford to lose it is just better for you to stop playing , you don't need to continue because you have only spent little time and you still have enough time to recover the money.  Time shouldn't be what we need to consider but the money that is involved in gambling should be the first consideration in gambling.

Gambling responsible should be out interest since there are many gamblers that have gained addiction due to gambling too frequently.
Most gamblers are always afraid of making losses which is normal but for you to keep making profits you must be prepared to keep taking less risk and gamble with what you know you can afford. I don't advise gamblers to gamble on slot games on daily basis because this games can be addictive with time and for your to eliminate such probability, you need to reduce how frequently you gamble.

Yea, just like me too, I will likely spend not more than 2 hours without being bored and tired but when I have my friend around and we are together at the land based casino, we might spend more than 2 hours depending on how prepared we are. One thing is that, it varies all the time, every day is not the same.

To find a malfunctioning machine is rare and winning on it depends on luck, as the house could check if the slot had issues. And casinos always state that "malfunction voids pays" which means the money won't be paid. So, the luck aspect of it is that they may end up finding out nothing wrong on the machine.

0 please play 0 times, only some very smart people who can use in their favor some bugs or long streaks and bonus, most of the people needs to avoid the slots.

Slots- roulette and other card games like blackjack are in the same bag, the msot easy way to lose money at all.

Blackjack is probably the game with the best odds for the gambler though...

Many slots and other less known games have really bad odds for the gambler.

Specially the games where the rules are not that well known, they can get away with giving bad odds.

If you are too afraid of making loses then you should never be involve in gambling, getting involve in gambling means you have already accepted the fact that you can lose and you can also win, but the thing their is we just have to approach it and tries to reduce how much we can lose why trying to see how much we can also possibly make, but losing can’t be out of the picture and being afraid to lose will only make you not to enjoy gambling.

If there is long time in front of the mobile or computer, it is extremely normal to have problems in the eyes. You need to use sunglasses for mobile or computer screen light rays that can ruin the eye vigor. And we constantly complete our work in front of mobile skins online, it is normal for us to have made sunglasses for a long time since we’ve been online. Most devices have Blue Light Filter options that will help reduce pressure on your eyes if you use it, you can try it. If you’re addicted to extra gambling, take a little anti-day walk during the game will remove eye fatigue to take a rest by close the eyes

I play slots and win decent amounts. However, that happened at the very start, which is likely a welcoming bonus for newcomers because it was difficult to win again afterward. We might have different experiences, but what I say is based on my personal experience.

Just like in other games, the more we gamble, the more we lose. If we are lucky this time, it may change after a few hours. That is why we don't spend a lot of time and take our winnings out if we have them. Don't wait for the table to turn, because you will lose everything.

I was unaware of this malfunction scapegoat that the casinos can play if these machines are't working. I feel like that little code could be abused if the casinos ever wanted to make slots more in their favor, but that is just a gut feeling and the fact that I don't trust anyone basically haha. I don't think casinos would use or knowingly try to manipulate machines so that they never have to pay out but hey i'm sure some casino somewhere might have dabbled once or twice? Who knows...

Same here OP, I can as well play for hours and yeah it is worthy to mention that we enjoy because of that, as there are also spend hours of stressing themselves of how can they recover their previous losses. Some are simply addicted and they already numb without any emotions they are feeling in. It is only normal for us regular players for our eyes to hurt if we unexpectedly exceeded in our desired game time.

We even experienced this in our other screen time activities like playing video games, browsing the social media, and working online. If you think this is bothering anymore on your side, then obviously you will need to apply a strong restriction. For me, only a good sleep will ease the pain but I can also suggest having some eye coolers or eye drops. Lastly, you can try turning on the night light in your device setting in hopes of reducing the eye strain. Good luck to you @OP!

True. A good night of sleep is great for recovery of the body and specially the mind.

It's good to not make any rushed decisions after a big loss.

I think it's good to take some time out from those slots since they can be highly addictive.

It is correct that gambling affects a lot of excitement whether it is winning or losing. Both types whether winning or losing on gambling create excitement and it may turn into physical issues. It may affect me too much when I gamble and only for that reason do I often stop gambling. Even when I win in gambling it makes me addicted and I lose attraction of my daily offline tasks also along with my physical condition it may affect my mental condition too.

What make gamble a lot more interesting is when you are able to gamble responsibly without any addictive decisions. It's ok to play slot games for long period of time with the right motives, a lot of gamble plays to escape poverty or become rich overnight but they end up becoming poorer which is an evidence that responsible gambling is the only way to enjoy gambling.  While playing slot games you can reduce your stake to a minimum amout that can let you play without reasoning the loses you've encountered, sometimes gambler can uplift our mood swing and change our emotions,  but you have to understand that wining is not guaranteed.

Sometimes in that time frame you as a player get the Necessary Enjoyment , it's better that you feel bored afterwards and not as much Attraction as Some do and that the desire is to Continue and continue as if there were no tomorrow, if you enjoy and Get what you want you leave Satisfied , really if everything worked like that there would be no case of Addiction ,  It doesn't bore me , I enjoy it too much, that's why the money I have available to play is very Limited.

I don’t spend loads of hours on the slots, to be fair. Most evenings after work I might put aside around £50 and have a bit of a spin, but it really depends on the mood and the day I’ve had. Sometimes I’m done in 20 minutes, other times I might carry on for the best part of an hour. For me it’s just a way to switch off and relax after a long day, nothing more serious than that.

What matters to me is where I play. I only ever use proper UK-licensed casinos the ones regulated by the Gambling Commission. At least you know your money’s safe, the games are fair, and if you’ve had enough, you can set limits or even take a break. There are loads of dodgy sites about, so I wouldn’t touch them. For me, it’s the peace of mind that makes the difference. Playing on trusted platforms means I can enjoy the entertainment without worrying about whether the site’s reliable or not.

So, not loads of time, not loads of money just a bit here and there on sites I know are legal and secure. That way it stays enjoyable rather than stressful.

Being in front of a screen for many hours isn't healthy for anyone's eyes, and regardless of what you're playing, it can cause problems. I like slots as well as you, and sometimes I spend more than an hour playing on them. However, if I have such a session, I'm avoiding playing for a day or two. Until now, I haven't faced any issues regarding my eyes.😎

Of course, better to play with time limit or we should not stare our monitor all of the time when playing.
What I used to do is to play slot and let it run for few hundred spins without watching it but I turned the sound on so I can hear the music which may notify me when there is good spin results.
Watching the slot spinning all of time make I feel bored too fast so that’s why it is better to let it run but monitoring it through the sound/music while we can do other things in our PC/phone.

The health implications involved at starring at a digital screen for too long is why I can't stay too long playing slots.
There may even be seizures caused by photosensitivity for players who may know or not know that this is a trigger for their convulsions.

In all, I think it is always best to play to a limited amount of resources rather than play without caution or care for longer hours than necessary.

Some comments i read made me really sad.

I cant believe how people can spend hours playing slots and worst of all, losing money, and if we dig more we can see most of that people cant afford the lose of that money.
For sure the mayority of them is gonna lie and said they play only for fun, but that is bullshit and we all know that.

DONT PLAY SLOTS PEOPLE.

I remember going out to the balcony and playing for hours with whiskey and a cigar three years ago.
I especially enjoyed it when I was drunk, winning or losing didn’t matter. If I did win, I would walk around happy for days.

As far as I remember, the skin under my eyes got worse from staring at the screen.

Most players end up spending hours behind slot machines. The casinos are also supplementing this by not including any clocks near the games floor, something that every player should be careful about when they are starting a game, keep your own watch running in front of you otherwise you will lose track of time.

I myself played them for a less than 1hour because of low budget but those who are going to casinos after they get their monthly salary will be getting wasted in a few hours at least.

Often casino floors are filled with zombie like slot players. Not a very healthy thing at all considering they are gulping down alcohol and fast food at the same time too.

Can’t imagine myself staring on slot games spinning for 3 hrs without getting headache or dizziness. 1hr is only my maximum playing time on this game or I use auto spin and leave it spinning without looking on my screen until it bonus or huge amount which notify me through sounds.

I can imagine the cozy feeling on playing this game while chilling at the balcony with beautiful view.

The mood will be very cool once you hit huge multiplier while chilling. Most of my win happened when I’m casually playing slot games.

I think to knowing how long it will last depends on the capital we have when playing, but what you said above is quite realistic and true. Although it's hidden, it's clearly visible on the faces of those who lose and have no other fresh funds to play with, just watching. But the situation is different if they have a few wins and still have a lot of money in their wallets, and they can spend hours there.

If you are gambling until your eyes hurt you are either really good at gambling, or really addicted.  What other sources of entertainment do you have in your life?

I can honestly say that I haven't played a single slot machine or even placed a bet in 2025.  Pretty wild considering how much I talk about gambling...  Have you tried gambling without risking real money to see if you still find it as entertaining? 

Perhaps you need something in your life to distract you if you have this much free time to gamble.  Have you thought about getting a pet or joining a sports league of some kind?

That's what he should be doing, looking for something to get busy. A hobby or something to do other than screen time, riding a bike for example is a good hobby for it sets him outside the house and get busy finding a spot to take pictures.

Too much exposure to phone or the desktop screen will only make him more addicted to games. It could dry the eyes and sure surely the tears will roll down without emotional reason.

Personally, I don't like slot machines very much because they are based on luck and game strategies are almost impossible to apply to them. That's why I shifted my focus to betting and poker, it's much more interesting to study and try strategies in them, especially to learn something from professionals or watch them play. Although I understand perfectly well that there are many players who don't even want to think about strategies and only see money that will make them rich in slots. I don't want to convince them otherwise, because everyone has their own game path.

I think I agree with you to some extent because this only happens to some individual not all, there are some that no matter how big or small the money they have while playing slot is, they will never go beyond what they have in mind that they will spend and even if they do it will only be a little and they will leave and this is called self disciplined and there are also gambler that will continue playing untill everything they have is exhausted in their pocket and some after exhausting what they have they will go as far as playing on credit which is irresponsible and lack of self discipline.

I've never experienced playing slots in physical casino, I mean not online like I usually play.
For online casino slots, it always depends on whether I reach the amount I want to withdraw . There's really no set time or hours playing slot from me.
I either stop when I'm satisfied or when my balance is gone. After all, you can't keep playing slots if you don't have any balance left. Right?

When I have a good feeling in slot games I gamble for a little longer because I think I have a chance of winning at that time. But I also know that this attitude is not always positive. But usually when I play if I place small bets I have a chance of playing for a long time but when I place big bets I have a chance of losing more. From my experience I will say now that if you are able to go away quickly then you can make profit. I have seen many times that the chances of losing are higher if you gamble for a long time.

It's true that sometimes we lose control when we're too engrossed in gambling, leaving behind other activities that might be far more beneficial. In reality, this is always felt by most people if they consider gambling to fill their free time or seek entertainment. In contrast, people who gamble to make money will simply leave gambling when all their money is gone and all that's left is daydreaming and regret.

Split up your play time and you will have both more success and also enjoy it more.   Hoping to get a win by continuing to play for more time then its enjoyable is probably one of the most common tricks a gambler will play on themselves to no great advantage.   Play the same hours but later or another day will work out better all round.

You are right, winning is not determined by the amount of time a gambler spends on playing or gambling generally, not just about slot games alone, if the amount of time a gambler spends playing games like slot had anything positive thing to do with winning, then a lot of us wouldn't mind spending the whole day every day playing no other game but slots games only..

But as a matter of fact and as we have seen on several occasions, time spent playing slot is simply spend on beinf unlucky, because it is only takes second a minute for a person to be lucky and win a life changing amount of money, I've been a place were some group of persons had spent over an hour sitting and playing physical slot machine games but won nothing tangible, but another guys walked in, choose a machine, made a deposit and started playing, and in less than 8 minutes, and shouted and jumped up from his sit, the dude had won over $8k dollars even when he haven't spent up to $500 playing.

When people say they can play slots for hours, I can only imagine how rich they are. If we consider that cheapest bet in slots is 20 cents, and spin last for seconds, then how much a gambler losses every minute? It take between 5 to 10 minutes to spin 100 free spins that receive as s bonus (100 free spins is my longest session in slots that I had, I look on situation from that perspective). And there is someone who play several hours. That is something hundreds in exchange for a not very entertaining activity (as every spin is almost the same) and not most profitable.

playing for hours on end is a bit of a foreign experience to me, but i think that people's playing times can vary greatly depending on their wager amounts in slot games.

firstly, not everyone may play slots buying freespins. i’m sure some people make hundreds of spins at the lowest bet amount until they go bankrupt or win a lot. for example, if those who get freespins risk an amount equal to 1/10 of their balance each time, it could take a long time for them to run out of money. because the rtp is generally around 96%, which means that on average, the amount you wager on freespins will return to your pocket almost as x.

I think your body is telling you that you had enough basically.

Even if you're enjoying your time, I think it would be wise to just stop and do something else, maybe go for a walk, etc.

The more we ignore our bodies, the worse they will become in the future. Taking care of yourself now will make your life easier in the future.

I don't have a particular hours I spend in gambling, sometimes I gamble three times a day to spend hours and it depend when the daily budget will last me in gambling, but Saturday and Sunday which is weekend, I use to spend many hours to gamble because there is nothing to worry about going to work late and you can gamble until you are tired or  you are done with your daily budget on gambling before you can call it a day on gambling, the advice I will give to such gamblers that is in that category, they shouldn't be carry away by excitement to gamble above their daily budget because it can lead gambler to be addicted to gambling, which is the worst thing should not happen to any gambler.

You know everyone is different and some are very cautious of every dealings they find themselves more especially when it's resulting to more damages than benefits. When you decide to play for the long hours you do it cause it favours you and I bet you need to keep a check on your habits cause for what I know slots games for so long are more addictive usually when you aim for bigger returns.

Lol, you're full of Bs and you know it, 3 months ago you had no clue how slots work (https://ninjastic.space/post/65243371) now you're treating it like an investment, yeah like anyone would believe your 7 hours spent gambling...


When most here say they play for hours, I am imagining they haven't played in their life...  ;D
It works with physical slots if you go for low bets, physical machines have longer animations, and you can also waste time between spins watching others or something but with online slots, if you're unlucky, even with the lowest 20 cents bets, you're down a dollar a minute on average.
Either they don't realize what hours mean or they have found some casino that lets you play with 1 cent spins.

Your piece of advice looks good, but remember that we're talking about slots. In other games more based on skills or that simply require your attention, having some rest when you're tired of playing is fundamental, but in slots all you have to do is push the spin button.

What I mean is that, tired or not, the results will be the same. A different thing is that, if you're tired, you can feel tempted to play more out of pure boredom, and end up spending more than the planned budget. In that case, I agree with you that having some rest can be beneficial.

When you really enjoy playing slots for hours, it means you have enough free time, a large enough capital to spend, or are just lucky enough to keep playing for hours. The eyes are certainly the main problem when exposed to light for too long, it needs to be anticipated by using eye protection or using slightly darker tempered glass so that your eyes are not exposed to bright light. What you are experiencing is very normal, especially when your eyes are forced to work for too long, they will quickly become tired and your vision will also start to become blurry, so you need to take early precautions to keep your eyes healthy.

Yeah, gambling for hours isn’t healthy not just for our eyes, but for our mental health too. I personally never play that long, usually just 30 minutes to an hour, and only if I still have some capital left. We shouldn’t force ourselves to keep going if it’s damaging our health. It’s always better to take a break and do something more productive or relaxing instead.

i do experience exactly the same thing when I spend too much time working on my PC, especially when I'm in a dark room, my eyes get stressed quickly and i start feeling some minor pains in my eyes. at this point, I turn on the lights to make the room more brighter, that is if what i am doing is very important and i gotta finish it immediately, but if it is not that urgent, I'll just Hibernate my PC and take a nap or go out to stretch my eyes a little, and after a while, I'll feel much better. i also try to visit my optician sometimes for a quick eye care.

You have just said it all because someone can't be playing a slots for an hours without having a reasonable benefits he might getting form it, like you said earlier that he might be starting with a small amount that can make him stay that long so that he can be able to win small, small so that he can gather a reasonable profit or he might have particular targets to win because he knows how to win when it comes to playing of slots, and slots is a game that you can play without stress but the problem is that looking the in the screen for so long might course eyes effect, if not now maybe later when you could have come to aged.

Slots have an RTP of about 90 percent, which translates to a 10 percent house advantage which means that you will be losing 10 cents for every single dollar you spin.
If you spin at a rate of 1000 spins per hour (one spin every 3-4 seconds) then you may end up losing approximately about 100 times your betting size. For example- If your betting size is $5 per spin then it might cost you $500 every hour.
You lose approximately 10 cents on every dollar that you bet, so even a 20 cent bet can add up in the long run.

Well, hours of slot games (even on penny spins) can rack up into big bucks wasted.
But if I tell you about myself, each spin creates excitement, making it hard to stop. So I cant tell slots are not made to be entertaining.

Sometimes, we find ourselves playing slots for hours without realizing it, perhaps because the situation is so enjoyable that we enjoy the game, especially when we keep winning. This is normal many gamblers experience this. However if we gamble for hours every day, especially to the point of damaging our eyes, I think it's abnormal.

That's why we gamble we must be able to manage our time so we can avoid gambling for hours. Besides not having an impact on our eyes, this also helps us avoid becoming addicted to gambling. When gambling, you're not only thinking about financial management but also about time management. If we can apply both of these, we will become responsible gamblers, both financially and with eye health.

it depends on the provider and your currency.
i know playngo has some slots where you can do $0.01 spins, book of dead is one that comes to mind.
but if you really want to find those slots, you can just google penny slots from x provider.

i guess he gambles like that for the fun of it, or maybe he's just addicted? personally, i can't imagine myself playing slots for hours, i would be losing both money and my mind, lol.

Excessive gambling will harm a gambler in every way, as a result of which he will face huge financial losses in addition to physical and mental damage, and as a result of excessive gambling, a gambler will easily become addicted to it. Gambling should always be kept within a limited range, and even also many people become addicted to gambling by also keeping it in limite, because many time they often forget their limits due to greed, but if a gambler gambles excessively, and takes gambling too seriously, then this will definitely cause disaster for him.

There is no problem playing slots for hours as long as we stay within limits, meaning we can determine when it is appropriate to gamble and avoid disrupting productive time. Similarly, setting financial limits when setting a bankroll for future bets, such as using a portion of money you can afford to lose, setting weekly or monthly playing portions, allows us to control our emotions and gamble safely and comfortably. So, whatever we gamble, whether it is slots or sports games, we should be aware of how to be wise and follow some important rules for being a responsible gambler as I mentioned.

0 . And it will forever stay 0. If I want to give away my money I will give it to charity, but not to a casino.  ;D
Slots are such a waste of time and money, it baffles me that for whatever reason this sort of gambling seems to be the most popular out there. Even when I get free spins for some promo, I never win anything. This always basically just reminds me of why I don't touch this game/"entertainment" at all.  :P

Well, of course it's not healthy to just stare at a screen for a long amount of time without having a break.

Most people advice to look at other things, that are far away and close, basically different distances, at least for a few minutes every hour.

That will keep your eyes well trained and minimize any kind of issues you might find.

One thing you have to know is that when it comes to slots games it's not good and healthy for any one to be exposing him or herself to be engaging in slots games for a prolonged period of time because that is dangerous and risky because when you expose yourself to gambling like that it only shows that you are addicted to gambling and should seek help.


When you expose yourself to gambling for hours you risk losing your money because the more you gamble the more you get stocked into gambling as it gradually eats deep into you and you lose control of your self

Well, I think some people can actually gamble for a very long hours even though they are not addicted, they just prefer to have the fun to the fullest and while playing too, they don't use so much money that they can not afford to lose, they could just deposit $10 and then their wagering amount wouldn't go above $0.1 or $0.05, that's because they want to gamble for a long time. The bad risk of it is staring at the screen for a long hour which can even cause eye problem.

Yes, you don't have to spend a lot of money to play slots for hours. As long as you're consistent with small bets, a $10 deposit, and a bit of luck, can last for more than 3 hours. I experienced this when I was still very active in playing slots. With a $3 deposit (in fiat), I won $50 and used this to play continuously throughout the session until I finally closed when I reached $130. To reach that number I used more than 2 hours but can't remember exactly how many minutes after.

You actually pointed out something very important, even though the effects of gambling for long durations doesnt affect a gambler that sticks to having a decent bankroll there are still going to be side effects and one of them is eye problems and other health issues...gambling fot hours can also cause addiction that's why it's important to cut down the time you engage in gambling even if you are staking moderately

The thing is that gambling is not really like a normal video game for example. There's a huge addiction component to it, and people will continue to do whatever they are doing while gambling, either looking at a screen, or pressing buttons, etc.

In gaming you also have addictions, of course, but I don't think they are as powerful as the addiction you see with money. Maybe they are similar though, but at least the game addiction keeps your money in the bank.

The only time limit I have is the funds on my deposit. I can spin slots for hours if my deposit allows it. For what reason should I limit myself to this? That's nonsense. If I have money and free time, I play for several hours in a row and at the same time I physically rest from hard work and everyday affairs. It seems to me that this is the best entertainment than getting carried away by something bad. For example, getting together with a company and drinking unlimited amounts of beer.

You have no idea why you should limit your time? Even if you are in your free time like in a whole day due to holiday, will you spend your whole free day to play slots if your balance allow it? Time limit, money limit, and other limit is part of discipline in gambling. If you ignore this and you think that it is nonsense, means that you do not care about yourself.

If you don't gamble, you'll never win anything. Obviously, if you gamble, you'll also have a higher risk of losing. The point is to gamble with an amount you can afford to lose. For example, tomorrow you have $5 and want to buy beer or go to the beach, but then you give up and don't know what to do with it. You don't have a bill to pay, so you can take the $5 and gamble. You'll be testing your luck. If you lose, it won't hurt at all because if you had taken the $5 and bought beer, the $5 would still be gone and in another hand.

If you win at the casino, you'll celebrate. Imagine winning $5,000 thanks to that $5. It will only have been worth it. Even if you won $100 thanks to that $5, it will have been worth it. That's how I think. spend $5 at the cinema to watch a movie, spend $5 to go watch a football game at the stadium, in both cases the $5 doesn't come back. So why complain about putting $5 in the casino?

It's very strange for me to hear that you can play slots for hours, because I've never spent more than half an hour in them. And when I finished playing, it seemed to me that my head was about to explode from the sounds and effects.

I understand that we can turn off the sounds. But when I first try some new slots, I want to look at their design, interface and game dynamics, but it seems to me that online casinos could use less loud sounds and less bright effects.

If you have adequate money and time, it will be very interesting for playing slots. I also try to play slots considering my bankroll. But I also know that if I don't come back from there quickly, I have the possibility of losing my entire bankroll. I try to set a budget before playing slots. If i am lucky during that time, my game is a bit longer but if I lose, I take a break for that time. People who enjoy playing slots usually try to play for a longer period of time.

This training is it actually done while you take a short break when you are gambling or it's done later on? Staring too much at the computer can definitely lead to a lot of eye complications in the future if it doesn't affect the gambler presently. I think that they must be an eye protection meant for people to use when they always on a long duration screen time. But apart from the eyes it stresses the brain

The truth is that the time factor doesn't really guarantee winning, and considering how long one should even gamble is risky. There is a high chance of losing more, which can lead to addiction. What we should be talking about is not even the longevity of the game, but rather whether it is an amount that we can afford to lose.

Slot games are very risky, and if you are not conscious, you may end up exceeding the limit that you can afford to lose. Trying to achieve a better win shouldn't be a reason for a gambler to increase the time spent playing slot games.

No, I don't care about myself. I can just spin the slots for hours at the minimum bet. Is there anything wrong with that? I think I'm not the only one who does this. Why immediately raise the bet and finish the game in a few minutes? That certainly won't bring any pleasure. And that's exactly why I came to play, not to be sad. That's why I try to stretch out the moment of the game as long as possible.

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I can gamble for quite a long time if the gambling is profitable. However, I'm still prepared to lose everything I have, including my initial investment. However, sometimes, even if I set a time limit of no more than an hour, even though the gambling might still be profitable, I still end it by withdrawing the profits.
I realize that gambling for too long isn't a good thing, and for those who can't control themselves, it can be a dangerous problem.

I want to know first whether you play slot games for hours or other sports as well. If you play slot games for hours then I would suggest you to stop playing slot games for hours right now otherwise you will lose everything even your house and car. I am wondering if you are still okay but it is no secret that you are a gambling addict. So spend very little time playing slot games and especially if you take gambling as entertainment then use very small amount of money and gradually stop playing slot games and focus on sports betting.

Hmm for hours I guess that’s why your eyes endup hurt , but still do some checkup because sometime if you over stress your eyes it will definitely hurt especially when staring at an object that’s reflecting out light ray . The only advice Is to have a fixed time it must not be hours you can just set a certain budget to work with like if you play like 5 games for instance you are good no matter if you are winning or losing you are okay to call it a day with that you be able to safe enough tone for yourself and same time prevent your eyes from getting hurt.

I am not tied to a particular time frame for playing slot, once I think my time is up, then I stop and move on to the next task for the day, am not the type that always gamble the way i want, except when am less busy in doing other things, which does not necessarily have to be for slot games alone, I can take my time in playing any other games of my choice as I may desire without anything stopping me except I choose to do other things.

Gambling for a long time when you are in profit is a wrong move, this is very risky because at anytime you can end up losing what you have won. The reason why some gamblers keep on gambling and chasing more profits is as a result of greed and this is capable of making you lose if you are not careful. I have learnt to be satisfied with my wins no matter how little they might be instead of chasing more

Time limit and loss limits are what professionals use who have reasonable strategies for playing slots, although there are very few of them. In any case, it will benefit us and we will most likely lose less, because the impact of slots on our psyche and, as you said, eyes, can negatively affect our game, we will probably want more and more, or we will get bored and we may even try to bet out of boredom, which will ultimately lead us to a complete loss.

That's a sign of greedy or even an addiction if we keep on playing while we are already making some profit.
Of course it is a bad sign and someone need to evaluate himself if he realizes his situation when he unable to stop while on profit.
This is why discipline is needed, discipline on time and money limit so we will not jump into the worst possible effect of gambling.
As always, it is indeed easy to say but it is not that easy on the reality :) but we should always try to avoid such bad moves in gambling.

I also use the 20-20-20 rule which is that after every 20 minutes look away at something which is 20 feet away and keep looking for 20 seconds & believe me it is as relaxing for the eyes as a cup of coffee. ;D

To avoid the strain in eyes just hold or position the screen at one hand distance, just below your eye level & adjust brightness to match that of the room, i use 35% warm screen color which is cool for my eyes.. :)

Try to blink more as we blink almost half than normal while gaming, drink enough water, take a small break for stretching after every hour which will reset those peepers.

If you follow all of this then you can avoid the strain and will be able to play for longer period.

It depends on how I'm doing. If I'm on a losing streak or have to leave for an appointment, I stop immediately. I usually play on weekends, spending an average of two to three hours a day playing. Although I play blackjack and roulette, slots remain my favorite game.

Everything in life should be done in moderation and betting, if we don't control it, will consume a lot of our time.

Yeah, moderation is the key to doing everything that we do right, anything or whatever that we do that is good can turn to bad if and when we over do it.
For example, it's absolutely good and healthy to eat food, and I mean good food and not some junks most people eat today, but this same good food can turn out to become a poison in our system when we over eat or eat much more than our body requires and our system can process effortlessly.

Same goes with playing games, most especially games like slot, which I personally consider to be highly addictive, spending too much time playing slot games can be very harmful to our brains which in turn and later on can affect other parts of our body, since the brain is basically connected to every parts of our body system.

So for me as well, I try as much as possible to not spend more than 2 hours playing slot games, no matter how good I am enjoying the game, I must make sure to stop or quit in less then 2 hours.

There people that even If they are making profit they still forget to actually to control there self and this is how a lot of people get there self addicted. And  discipline matters a lot because when you check on other gambling sits there is always interesting to play but you have to just consider the fact that you don't need to do to kick Hammel the one you can and enjoy the profit.

How you want to spilt the play time. Do you want to split time to several times. Eg: if If I p[lay 1 hour then I have to spilt that into 6 and play 6 times, each split it will have 10 minutes or something like that? Then everyone know that after several loss the chnce of being a winer is higher in this case I lost a lot of money and for reaching time limit if I stop gambling then how I will recover my lost fund?

It's very true, when I play slots I do it with very little money, you would really be surprised, I only do it with 5 or 7 USD, that's what I always have available when I'm going to play the slots, and I enjoy every move like you have no idea, once I lose I don't put in any more money and I keep my fun if I lose or my money if I win, that's the best thing you can do.

I do tell gamblers never to let the idea of trying to recover their funds get into their heads. You might be trying to recover your funds while putting your remaining funds at risks the more.

Enjoy the game, use money you can afford to lose and when you lose, accept it in good faith. There is no special way of recovering losses when playing slot games. Continue playing slot games because you love to play and just trying your luck, not because you want to recover your money. If recovering is the goal, you can as well take a break to avoid more losses.

It doesn't seem to be enjoyable anymore when you start feeling dizzy while continuing to hitting the stake button, that's a deadly game.
It'd better to have a strong feeling that whenever there is a consistent playing of any slot games, and it feels like it's going out of hand, then the quit option should be the nearest exit to take before chasing losses will be the next option in mind.

When playing any casino game it's important that you always focus on staking low and aiming to win high amounts, although the chances of winning might be low but the most important thing is that you are reducing the risks involved...staking high doesn't really mean that winning is guaranteed, some people stake a high amount of money aiming for a low multiplier and still end up losing.

There is nothing bad with just spinning over and over again as long as you know you are on your limit and don’t break any rules, and the longer you can stay is based on how much you have left and if you are lucky to still continue winning then you will stay even longer than you expect unless when you consider it to be due and leave on your own there is no time limit to spend in slots.

That's what I'm talking about. Why should I limit myself in time if I have it in reserve along with the deposit? Who set such limits? This is somehow wrong. Everyone has their own personal conditions for staying in a casino. For some, it's enough to spend just a couple of dozen minutes on this process, while for others, even a few hours will not be enough. Life circumstances decide everything here.

He was actually talking about loses but talking about what to do when his eyes begin to hurt while playing slot game, what you are saying it a bit different from what he is saying his problem is..

@Finestream, when you play games till your eyes start to hurt, what that means is that you have been staring on a white light being generated by your device for too long and it's time to rest, staring too long on a white light is very dangerous to the eyes and must be avoided, this is why most devices now have a feature known as "Eye comfort shield", this feature can be turned on and off on your device and you can find it in the panel layout of your device(if you are using an android phone) by sliding the screen down from the top, find the "eye comfort shield" button and turn it on, the lights on your phone screen will change from pure white to a mild gold like color, leave it like it's always for your eyes comfort while using your device.

Why force yourself when you're already feeling dizzy? I myself play slots for a maximum of 1 hour, and that's only if I still have money left in my bankroll. If I lose too quickly, I stop playing.

Once all your bankroll for slots is gone, take a break. There's no need to force yourself to keep playing, but sometimes people who are addicted want to keep playing even though they're already starting to feel dizzy.

That's the danger of addiction.

In moderation, that is correct.

We can always play whenever we want, and it's not like the online casinos will suddenly close their businesses. In fact, they might go on for years because it's in the hype, and gambling has been here for a long time, so it's not going away anytime soon.
Play in moderation, enjoy the games, and stop if we feel like we cannot accept the amount of losses that we are having, so that it will still feel enjoyable.

It is very important how the gambler receives money through his cash flow. Because I really don't like to top up my casino deposits from a card, and I regret even 10 dollars. But as soon as I win a promo code for 50 dollars somewhere, I can play slots all day and night.
At the same time, even when I win back this money, I will still continue to play. Because in this case I don't want to withdraw this money, but I want new emotions.

Yeah, I think that's the key thing really. Keeping things in moderation.

The moment that people start doing things out of control is when things start to become a problem.

It's hard to get out of addiction, but it is possible. It is better to never get to that addicted state though...

I do this too, I manage my portfolio and I'm careful not to go under, if I'm losing too quickly I try to be careful and manage the rush by taking a break, sometimes it even happened to me to stop for a whole day, it doesn't matter how much you play but the quality of your game, if you lose money too quickly you're doing badly and you have to stop

I had the experience of playing games for hours but due to health risks I refrained from playing for long periods. Sitting in front of a laptop for long periods of time increases eye strain as well as other health risks. I took the advice of a doctor for this problem. They advised me not to sit for long periods of time. I followed the doctor's advice.

The most important thing is that the gambler is a sociable person and does not try to find a hobby in gambling that will interfere with his social skills. Because according to statistics, the percentage of addicted gamblers is very high among those who are single. I understand that such guys sometimes even prefer to look at the dealer's girl, but still, this is not one percent real communication. If the gambler has enough communication, then I think the risk of addiction is very small.

That's true, staking low allows you to have more opportunities to play and eliminates the pressure of huge losses. I have seen people lose huge amounts of money just trying to chase quick wins with huge stakes, it rarely ends well. Point of gambling should be fun and control, not a risk of risking all at once. Winning big is always possible, but key is your patience and knowing when to stop.

You have a point, patience is very important and also knowing when to stop make you more disciplined...Even though I'm always of the opinion of staking low at all times I also think that it's possible to still lose control while doing this...There are people that stake a dollar on each bet but sometimes they end up losing more than $50 in less than five minutes because they lack self control..small bets can still accumulate to huge losses

Gambling gives gamblers this illusion if control that makes them believe they know what they are doing and can handle every situation. The sad thing about all of these is that, they still regret some decisions they make. This is one of the reasons why gamblers should always stake low amounts so that they can effectively manage the risks involved in gambling. One can be taken unawares at any time, even those who think that they can control how long or how often they gamble are not safe at all.

You've noticed and felt it yourself that your eyes often hurt when you play for hours. My question is, why don't you stop immediately? Don't you realize that it's because you're staring at the screen for too long? Honestly, I'm a slot player too. Sometimes I play for hours, but I've never experienced the same thing as you, especially with your eyes. What I often experience is boredom when the game goes on for too long, my balance just keeps spinning, stagnant.
I don't think there's any better advice than to stop, which is why a gambler should have a time limit when playing.

Depends on your betting style because there are some other gamblers who like to play YOLO bet on slot game, usually using the bonus buy feature.
Sometime it works well but most of the time it turns them into quick loss, the main important thing is that we should know what we are going to do.
Whether we play small or big, as long as we are ready for it then we good to go because both are still risky because it does not matter how you play (small or big), gambling is gambling where the result will always based on our luck.

When a person starts making small profits by betting on small bets, greed arises in his mind and he thinks that since he is winning, he should bet a big amount and if he wins the bet, he will be able to win a lot of money at once. From this thinking, a person starts from small to big bets and in most cases it is seen that if he loses the money he has bet on, then he faces big problems. To be honest, gambling is a matter where it is very difficult to control himself. If a person can control himself while gambling, then he can actually earn a good amount of money even while gambling.

There's no regulation to how long am we should spend on a casino gambling, we only have to make this decision at our own individual or personal discretion, the casinos am sure cannot restrict us from gambling, the same way the we also cannot limit ourselves for no reason to an extent in gambling, this is what gives us fun and we enjoy ourselves from playing bets, the gambling platforms cannot afford to restrict us from having fun neither, let's even forget about the fact that they are making money from consistent gambling and our patronage, this is all about having fun than other things we may choose to translate gambling for.

Yes, the algorithms of casinos or gambling sites are built like this. The most important thing for them is your time. And the more time you spend on those sites, the more addicted you will become.

That's why you will see that when you open a new account they increase your winning rate (personally I think), and when you start betting more amounts, they may reduce the winning rate. I am talking about casinos. And if it is sports betting, then that is a different matter.

I personally never play slots for hours, which can make my eye pain worse. If I do it consistently every day it can lead to eye health problems. Furthermore I can't enjoy playing slots for hours instead I get bored and lose control of my emotions.

Usually when people gamble for hours on end it's because they're using small capital or small bets which leads to prolonged play. This also happens to my friend he can play slots for hours without stopping until his money runs out. Personally I prefer to use slightly larger bets. When I lose, I stop, when I win, I stop and continue the next day. Because in gambling we must be smart about managing time limits and the amount of money we can afford to lose. This allows us to gamble responsibly and is also good for our eye health.

Indeed, life circumstances decide everything, and personal control matters and contributes to how a gambler will decide how they make use of their time in gambling. Everyone should know their limit and not have their limit decided for them. Aside from spending longer time in the casino, which can lead to losing more, it’s a personal decision for us to make. Besides, the money deposited into a casino should already be assumed lost in the first place.

Your arguments are interesting, however. No, not all single people are highly addicted gamblers. Among my friends, there are several couples who play together. That is, the husband and wife both participate in the process at the same time. And this phenomenon is quite common in my country. Therefore, not everything should be viewed so unilaterally. We need specific statistics on this issue, then everything will become crystal clear. But now it is at the level of speculation.

That's why you should play intelligently and the Casino gives us the Opportunity to risk more or less , but it's our decision how we play, in this aspect Everything is in our hands , that's why every time we play and decide to increase the bet we Should have that cushion of money in case we lose, but Sometimes winning little is winning a lot in the long run.

In fact, you have to decide carefully when and how to play. I understand that many times you just want to play without doing anything else, but it must be said that if you play too much, the casino will already lead you to sink, but if managed correctly it can also give satisfaction and bring us a lot of joy.

I never play more than half an hour every two or three days, there are days when I play more but I have imposed this rule on myself that I cannot break, because this would compromise my enjoyment causing me to fall into the disease that would lead me to lose everything, so I am very careful not to make this mistake.

Where did you get this idea from? I've never heard about any gambler getting eye problem because they play slot games for too long, and who the hell plays slot game for a whole day everyday? It's impossible because it doesn't take very long to get drained.

Slot games have the habit of screwing you all over and the only way to get ahead of this trap is limiting the time spent on the slot machine or slot engine if it's on a online casino.

This isn't about slots alone, every gambling games or bets, the more time you spend on them the highly likely you will end up living on the street, or possibly becoming a struggling addict.

How much are you playing per spin if you’re playing for hours?

I usually go with larger amounts per spin and am out of money in literally 10 minutes max :D

Today, actually marks one month and 2 days since the O.P of this thread was last active on this forum. And before then, we could all see what the contexts of this thread says, where he was complaining about having his eyes paining him whenever he plays Slot games. Of which many suggested he seeks medical attention for a test and possibly getting an eye glass. So I will like to ask O.P directly whenever he comes online. Have you been able to resolve the issue about the eye pain? Because, I will be glad to know that you are okay. eye




Not just only slot games, but too much of screen time is actually not good for the eyes, as you stand a chance of having an eye-sight issue. And secondly, we don't even know O.Ps age, if he Is either an old man or young man. Hence, for the fact that you haven't had issues playing slot games, it doesn't mean others aren't.

Interestingly, of these two, the most severe impact on a person's finances is their addiction. If they exceed the limit, they can suffer mental health issues and be ostracized within their own family because they're wasting money, rather than adding to their family's assets. Eye strain is also a problem, and it's natural to feel tired.

Regarding playing time, many players lose track of time, especially after being given the chance to win once or twice, coupled with the curiosity of trying new games, in case they hit the jackpot again. And in the end, they all lose completely.

In my opinion, self-reliance is essential, meaning realizing that this isn't just a lifestyle, even if it initially seems like it's just for fun.

Playing slots should be simple and easy,I don't know why people get to overwhelm themselves.If you must play slots everyday, keep it simple,short and controlled.Especially when you've started having difficulties with reading and watching from screens for too long.You need to rest,hydrate and reduce screen hours.

It doesn't take me long hours when I play slots. I just assign an amount that's very small because I don't want to be too much for myself. Or any amount that I can afford to lose. It's not reaching hours of stay there and that's why discipline is very important whether we play slots or any game at all. And that's because if we spend too much time on it, we might lose not just our money but also our sanity. It's very important for someone to have that reminder for themselves so they won't be like the others who spent a lot of time and money and got nothing after.

Slot games are not something that you analyze or make research on so it's always best to actually have a fixed amount when going to play it because everything with slot is based on luck and when you don't have a fixated amount you intend in going to play with then you can end up wasting even more money than you initially plan and slots can keep you glued because the thought that the next spin will be your next win.

Agree. Slot game doesn't require any analysis. It is purely a luck-based game. Sure, we are better to have fixed allocation, so we don't play too much in slots. If we have no specific allocation, it is very possible to spend too much money. It is because slot game is an easy game but the winning chance is quite small. Yeah, it will be very unfortunate if we waste too much money in slots. Why we don't try another game? I personally assume sports betting is better because we can do analysis to raise the chance of winning.

I cannot think how people stay in playing slots for whole day long.
Because we know that this is going to be not in favor of most players of slots as it is a luck based games.
It's very important not to be triggered by our thoughts that we can recover all of our losses by playing slots.

since it’s very easy and the games are quite short too it’s possible to get lost in it and not notice how time has passed aside from the possibility of winning people just generally find it entertaining

You already know excess of everything is bad, if really you are having eye issues then you should minimize or cut off your long time of staying on the screem to avoid senero like this,  eye is a sensitive organ that if it's been over strain maybe through constant focus on a lightning object it can off course start giving you issues that if proper medication is not admitted it turns something else.

however it is important we look into our health matters and take it seriously,  we shouldn't stay long on the screen while playing slot because it can affect our eyes, furthermore it is not only eyes that can be affected through constant or long time spent on slot games but it can also result addictions which might be the worst of it all, their is no big deal playing slot games but it only become a problem when you become addicted to it.

Such an experience seems new to me. If such an event can happen to many. When we cause excessive eye pressure. For example, if I look at a laptop or computer, then there is a lot of pressure in the eyes and the damage is affected. In this regard, Dr. always says, to use glasses in the eyes. Then skin light will not have much effect on the eye and it will naturally run a laptop for a long time. Since you are referring to the slot game and after a long time, you see the blink in your eyes. That is why you have to go to the doctor and keep a very small amount of money in your account. So that when they are finished, you can get out of it. In doing any work, it should not be done for long. We always have to look at health.

I've been in this position before. Why can I play for so long?
The most reason is a lack of other activities in my daily life. I was in this position three years ago, playing all day, spending time on slots, with no control, and always wanting to play every day. from here i get bad experience, I couldn't control myself. Eventually, I lost a lot on slots, and I slowly started avoiding it, playing mobile games to distract myself from desire to gamble. This worked well for me. After I got a job, i almost forget about slots, and now, even if I play, it's no more than 1 hour. If I win, I withdraw, and if I lose, I stop no matter the amount i get or lose.

This is what i miss, not the slots on online sites which i find really boring, i mean the slots i see at the casino
It's very far from where i live so I've never really been able to experience the thrill of trying them live.
I think after a while I'd get bored though

I don't time myself while playing slot because I don't consider such practice as important to the game, instead I use the outcome of my playing to determine how long I play.  If I get lucky and hit a big win even after two minutes of play, I will stop. On the other hand, if the amount I set aside for the game finishes, I will stop too. These are what matter to me and not how long I stay in the game.

Well since I don't play slot I would say zero hour, though I could remembered playing slot game but that was some years ago. can't remember the exact hours I spent in playing slot back then but I'm sure that i didn't spend up to an hour probably 20minutes I'm not even sure if it can get to that, I didn't stay long in the slot game and that is because I  was not enjoying it like I do enjoy betting on sport so after losing my first deposit so I decided to quit so ever since then I have never thought about going back to slot anymore. But I'm still hoping to try it some day, probably next week.

That's good, you've set limits on your gambling. This can help you stay in a healthy state. I think it's difficult to set limits on gambling, and in reality, many people become addicted to gambling because they gamble excessively due to a lack of established limits or discipline.
You must be able to maintain these limits, even if you have a lot of money, you must still stick to them.

Having limits is indeed important in gambling, especially for those who bet on slot games. If one cannot limit time, which is often overlooked by gamblers, one can also limit the gambling budget to a smaller amount. Trying to be consistent with limits will help us control gambling activities. At the very least, it is a first step to avoid gambling addiction.

Things with slots are difficult. I agree that time limits should be set to better control oneself, as well as controlling money, Slots are games where you can easily lose money, and that is what must be avoided, But you have to be prepared to leave at any time and not make mistakes that you will regret later It has happened to me, and it is not pleasant.

It would be great to play slots for hours, but unfortunately after 10 minutes I'd practically lost the stake I usually put in.
They're a lot of fun, to be honest, but when I want to play without stress, I play the demo version with play money, and I still have fun. I tried to hit the jackpot once with the demo version. I had $5,000 of play money in my account, and at the end of the session I was left with $1,200.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

That's correct, you know sometimes I feel that bankroll management don't work in slot. Though it can work for some people why majority can not be able to mange thier bankroll while playing slot, is just like those that like playing virtual sport I'm sure that majority of those guys find it hard to make budget. Sometimes we already make budget before going to the virtual office and also keep some money with us as reserve fund but you will be surprise to see yourself losing both the money you intend to go with and also your reserve fund, i have seen a situation like this before. And it also happened to my friend so that's how I get to know about this.

I've even heard stories of gamblers multitasking while playing slots. And I don't understand the point of doing that. If you're not interested, you can just press the Autospin button, but that becomes completely uninteresting.
Then it would be better for such a gambler to take all the money and bet on red or black and not torment himself with the time of waiting for a win.

Slots games are very risky but there are big jackpots because of which gamblers like it and spend a lot of time here. But I don't like these games very much. Because I think that you can get more benefits from playing slots than wasting a lot of time and money to win big jackpots from them. Because no kind of intelligence is used in Slots games, everything happens here only depending on luck. So no one can ever understand how his winning is going to be and why he is losing money. The machine can show any kind of result as he wants. Brother, I don't spend much time on Slots games. Sometimes I suddenly play it for a short time only.

Yes, it's a RNG and luck based game. So, I think that I am doing it correctly when I have some specific amount and when I lose that, I stop and wait again until I have some thoughts of doing it again. The money there is very quick, you are quick to win but you're also quick to lose.

When you get bored, as long as you have the access online. There is nothing you can do nor complain with that. While going with the physical ones is still different but depending on your situation, that's what you have to do with.

It probably means the gambler plays in few games. He doesn't need to do any analysis in slots, so he can do it easily while playing in another game. But this is just my guess, I'm not really sure about this.  ;D

What do you mean by Autospin button? Do you mean playing it automatically?
For the luck-based games, I think it is no a bad idea. It is purely based on the luck. Whether we play automatically or normally, I think the winning chane will remain quite similar.

Take all money?
I think it is no need. If it looks like not really convincing, why don't try another type of gambling games?
Sometimes, it is better to gamble with the game that requires analysis such as sports betting. If we are quite familiar with the sports, the chance to win may be a bit higher.

I agree with what you said. Indeed, the best way to avoid addiction lies in our own gambling habits. Discipline, such as setting time and money limits, is a way to avoid gambling addiction. This is also something that many gamblers overlook, as they tend to focus solely on winning, which is inherently uncertain. Gambling for too long can also lead to a loss of control, regardless of whether we win or lose.

Wow, you've been betting big, I really admire players like you. I'm sure the casino will offer you some ways to win I know that the Airdrop has attracted a lot of attention, as we haven't seen any really good airdrops for a few years now, and this casino's Airdrop seems to have been a great success, You don't see these things very often, so you have to make the most of them if something even better than an airdrop comes along.

But most slot players prefer longer games. It may not take up to an hour of play, depending on the size of the capital and the luck they have. But there is a tendency among slot players who will not stop spinning the game until they achieve a big, exciting win. The absence of limits and the small chance of a big multiplier coming out allows slot players to bet everything.

And this is why you should not make decisions based on excessive optimism about winning when gambling, you have to make decisions with reality, like when you gamble, you have to understand very well that here you are more likely to lose than win, so you cannot let yourself be uncontrolled here, so it is very important to set the right time limit and money limit, losing control can lead you to huge losses and addiction.

I play between 30-40 hours/weekly

obviously i would say Pandu, if i play for fun and i pay i don't know, 1 euro, then i want the game to last a long time
The harder it is, the more fun i have, it seems obvious to me.
I would say that this is a given for those who want to play to pass the time and have fun
for those who want to make money, which is impossible, in fact it is not good

Yes, most of the time it is seen that slot players try to keep their bets for a long time because they are waiting for a big win. If a big reward is available, then they can stop betting. Again, stopping betting often depends on the bankroll. Some people try to play slots for a long time because there is excitement. There are some gamblers who can stop after winning, but there are many who cannot stop. They like to do it for a long time, whether they win or lose. There is no specific rule for this. But naturally, the reason why everyone keeps betting is that they keep doing it until they win.

I usually gamble for few hours in general. Weather I'm playing slots or any other game at all. What I mostly do is to deposit a certain amount of money into my gambling account and if I'm able to make at least 3x of what I deposited, I m done for the day. But if I exhaust the amount I'll just stop and wait for my next gambling session. So it actually depends on the amount I deposited to gamble.

Many people don't usually put how much time they spend gambling into consideration. You shouldn't use time which is meant to do other things to gamble. Like they say, there's time for everything. So as a gambler you should prioritise your time spending properly..

Luck plays a big role in slots, and it's probably hard to come up with winning strategies. Players are simply more likely to lose when they're caught up in their emotions than in any other gambling game. Because the sounds and bright spinning images have a greater effect on the player, immersing them in the excitement. I also play poker and sports betting, but slots are my last choice because I don't really enjoy pressing a button and waiting for a fortune to fall on me. Moreover, I think it will happen to the slot owner at the player's expense, lol.

The majority of people can only consider the money limits yet they forget that the time limits are equally important. In case a person wastes time gambling, the insignificant bets can make the huge amounts. Money and time limit setting provide the balance and facilitates an easier way out. Ultimately, gambling needs to be entertainment and when it begins to impact on control or day-to-day life that is when the actual threat appears.

There is no strategy in slots, all we can do is just pray. :D

I find slots are the most exciting compared to sport betting because the status of uncertainity and the possibility of winning big makes it more enjoyable than just analysing years of data on the game which I don't even like to watch and poker is not my strong side so I won't try that.

Ah well that's another thing, if they give you those free promotional spins you have a lot of fun there, one of the things that I don't deny that I love is that when we play slots we can't win free spins, it's the best, and that's something that we must learn to manage intelligently, and Knowing how everything is, because what we are looking for is fun, to relax and have a Different moment , it doesn't matter if it's just a few minutes, but we must take advantage of them.

Perhaps before gambling, we might consider stopping at the right time, whether we're winning or losing. But once we're in the game, everything can change. So, we must be smart in making choices because, as you said, this greater chance of losing should be a benchmark for us to consider our next steps. We shouldn't regret decisions we've made, or things will become more complicated.
Set the best goals for ourselves, so don't get carried away and lose control. Although difficult, this must be done to become a good habit.

Yes, if you're enjoying you won't notice how much time has passed already.
So, for those who don't notice it often, they need to look on how they're being done and how much money they have already spent.
And if the aim is to win more in slots, you won't notice that you've spent a lot of money in losses than the amount you've won.

I think this has happened to many players: they set a budget and end up spending it all I sometimes find it hard to control this, especially if I have extra money in my pocket just in case What I do is set limits on money and even time, but it's still hard to control myself It's not that easy.

I've only experienced that on sports betting when I used to gamble basically for the profits in the past, I'll make a budget and still go with extra cash to a traditional betting shop around my street but I'll end up exceeding my budget and also use the reserve to try recover what I've lots, well that's the past and I've learnt and understand what responsible gambling is all about. Concerning slot games I don't really find them very interesting compared to sports betting so I'll just fund a little money to bet on them for some moment not up to an hour though.

I agree with this, and I will not be a hypocrite to say I didn't do that. I have been telling many times here in the gambling section on how tough "control" is. We can set a budget, but if we do have knowledge that we still have money in our stash, we will use that after depleting the budget.

It's in the "chasing of losses" when it happens the most. That's because we want revenge and our money back. I won't blame a gambler if he suddenly violates his own rule about the budget for the day. It's because there are times we cannot just let it go.

The skill, patience and mental control over the guidelines, Casino or whatever is the only thing that should predominate and obviously the control of the money , if we do not have such things we will probably fail, it is not so easy because that requires maturity on the part of the Players.

Slot machines are so well designed to make money and keep you hooked, if you don't have a strong character, you'll be trapped.
A recent article (link below)

https://www.fanpage.it/milano/un-uomo-ha-perso-1000-euro-in-una-notte-dentro-una-sala-slot-di-milano-che-doveva-essere-chiusa/

It even talks about slot machines recognized as legal but used outside of permitted hours, thus generating higher profits than the competition.
It still happens today, and it will always happen despite the controls. Here's a man who lost 1,000 euros in a very short time—guys, we're talking about a month's salary. Always be very careful.

I remember one evening playing slots became the moment I decided to quit gambling. Before that, I'd been playing every weekend, generally losing and winning. That evening, I started betting bigger and bigger after each spin failed to line up the lines, failing to pay out. This happened over and over again, until half my deposit was gone. I felt like a loser and had a strong desire to stop playing this type of gambling. And so it happened, and from that moment on, I took a very long break from slots.

Yes, the quick solution is to only bring the nominal amount of funds for playing. Don't carry any extra funds in your pockets, such as ATM cards or wallets. Also, bring important items like ID and other permits with you on your way to the gambling venue. Otherwise, a losing streak or continuous losses will only increase your emotions, especially if you have a buffer stock of other funds.

The near-miss effect, or simply put, always comes down to the illusion of being in a position where you're almost winning but just barely missing out. If you run out of money, the game stops completely, so the money factor is what can cut off curiosity, emotions, and the desire to continue playing.

Yes, this near-miss can be a trap for slot players, especially for high-priced symbols. It's more common to get a -1 connection in both normal and free spins for high price symbols. If someone playing for too long, this can lead to someone thinking a win is imminent. I once tried 500 normal spins, but no free spins came. in the end, I think, i was close to free spins, I increased my bet and added 200 normal spins, but no free spins were awarded. Haha.

In my case, I always use a near miss bet as a sign that the slot game I’m playing will not pay huge in the near future so I always stop playing and proceed to new game.

Most of my big win on slot games came from a multiple dead spin at first then suddenly give me a scatter that will result to good win.

Those slot game that frequently give small win usually very hard to hit a decent win.

It is very dangerous to consider carrying a credit card to play because it is fiat money and with fiat money I forget the value because if I take it and play and then change it to cryptocurrency things become more magical and the value of the fiat money goes away, that has happened to me, that is why I discard credit cards when it comes to playing, it is not something that I am very good at, then when the debt starts to hit, it is better to bet directly with cryptocurrency that you have, emocoins have played tricks on me.

For gamblers who have realized that they cannot easily control their emotions, it will be more like that. Prevention is better than getting trapped in difficult situations that are very likely to happen repeatedly to us.
After all, gambling without emotional control can consume a lot of our time and money. Without any limitations, all that will happen is a bleak total loss.

I'm a gambler who prefers slot games over others, and I usually play on weekends when I'm off work. I deposit $4 on a local site in my country, and sometimes I also play on JacksClub.io, but I never play for hours like you, OP. The longest I've played is two hours, and even then I get really bored, but so far I've never felt any eye pain.
So I assume the eye pain you're experiencing is due to spending too much time playing. Radiation from cell phone or monitor screens can indeed affect eye health, so the only way is to reduce your gambling time. ;)

My advice is to establish a time management plan when gambling. This way, you'll have limits on when to gamble and when to stop. It's undeniable that sometimes, when gambling, we lose track of time, especially when we're enjoying it. However this isn't good in the long run if continued, as it ultimately impacts our eyes and can even lead to addiction.

However if you have a time management plan, especially if you consistently implement it, it not only prevents eye strain but also prevents addiction. Staring at a phone or computer screen for too long is bad for your eyes, especially when gambling is full of risks it's bad for your physical health or your finances. Furthermore, gambling for too long can often lead to uncontrolled emotions, leading to poor decisions.

The biggest Tendency to do this is achieved by those who play slots, I can hardly play slots because I lose money very Quickly , I have seen and read that many players play and can win and last a long time playing and Almost without spending much money , I don't know if they win in the end or not, I think my mistake in Slots is that I don't know how to bet very well when the bet goes up, the lack of Experience in slots makes me Vulnerable.

Losing money in this type of slot game can be said to be fast. I have a friend who enjoys slot gambling and his habit is to gamble with the smallest bet, while I always bet large. Why is that? Because I think that even if I'm lucky, this bet size can lead to big wins, and the same is true with small bets. However, in reality, losses are more likely to occur, so even if I lose, I accept it. So, my perception is that betting the smallest amount only slows down the loss.

I think spending an hour gambling actually affects our perception of reality for a while. I only played for an hour and a half at most when I was at university. But even then, I felt disconnected from reality, with lines spinning before my eyes, and my brain refusing to think at all. I should have taken breaks, but I was young and careless. :) And by the way, regarding screen radiation, I'm not sure modern models emit any.

Funny enough, where i live, KYC is required to play slots, so you need at least your phone with an app to your profile, that affirms you have kyc:ed yourself.
And with that phone i have way to transfer funds as it acts as an access to my bank accounts.

But i agree that not carrying more funds in your pockets then you are allowing to yourself to use is a good idea. If i have coins or money in my pockets, that's basically money that i can use for anything i want. Rest of the money i am not transferring to anything as i have a rule that i am not touching to my budgeted money to anything else then i am supposed to use it for.

I feel like playing for an hour & a half is too short for me, because I can spend hours, sometimes getting carried away & leaving the work I should be doing. But I realize that this attitude of mine is a mistake, meaning I can't control myself in the gambling that I do, so I leave the work I should be doing.

It's still difficult for me to manage the time I give to gambling, it should be minimized & optimized. Because what I feel when I gamble is like being hypnotized to keep playing & it's very difficult to stop.

Despite the loss of control in terms of time in the gambling that I do, I can still control the finances that I gamble because the money I use in gambling is money that I have set aside & not the principal money for my basic needs, so I really should be wiser in controlling myself so that the time & money I gamble can be optimized & maximized.

Since slot games are game of luck, there are players that prefer slot games to sport games because the more you bet on these games the high your opportunity of making profits. I have wagered on free bets and won which I never thought I would just because of luck.
Many players need to be aware of this and be conscious to reduce the reflection of light from the screen of their phones. This can cause serious problem to the eye.

The more bets a player makes on slots, the more they'll lose, because all the excitement and fun is at their expense. Of course, they can win a few times, believe they're always lucky, and keep playing until they lose everything. For example, I always try to limit myself both in terms of time and money lost per game, because I understand that if I don't, I'll simply lose my deposit. As for the exact time, it's definitely not hours of play, but minutes; for example, 10-20 minutes is more than enough for me to have a good time.

The reason why slot games take a long time to play is that you cannot win frequently here. To win here, you have to play for a long time and place small bets. Because of this, the bankroll does not end quickly here. Although I am not a big fan of slots games, when I play slots games, it passes my few hours very quickly. I do not understand how it ends in 3-4 hours once I start playing. Slots are basically a long-term game. And here there is a chance of winning up to 1000x, so slots are very popular with all gamblers.

Slots games are really time-consuming and require a lot of time. Even if you don't win often, after 20 big losses, if you win 1 big one, that loss is covered. This way, the balance becomes volatile and it takes a long time to finish the gambling budget. Again, if you are lucky, you can win a lot of money. I remember one day I played slots for 12 hours straight. And that day my bankroll was $140 and I ended up leaving with $520 after 12 hours. This was the longest time I played slots. Which didn't let me sleep all night.

Slot is all about being lucky and if you are playing it there is absolutely no time guaranteed that you will hit the big run so it's better for you the gambler to actually fix a timeframe in which you will get to hault or stop when the game isn't actually favoring you but if you decide to continue hoping that you will win back the money you are using then you will be shocked at the drastic end and how twisted everything will turn out.

Slots are intrinsically unimaginable because they are a game that cannot be explained, despite the fact that it is not necessarily an elaborate game. The fact that playing is so fast is due to the fact that the gameplay is heart pounding and thrilling even in the case where one has no assurance of winning. By making small bets, we are able to remain longer in the game since we do not panic and lose our bankroll in a short period. And the attitude that big wins are hard to come by does not throw us off as we continue to wait to hit a big win.

That is why slots are still very popular, despite the fact that the result of the game is strongly dependent on luck. Patient players with realistic expectations of their prospects such as yourself can take pleasure in this game over time. Rare and huge victories, i.e., 1000x multipliers, will only contribute to it among people who like to challenge and thrill.

It's not just about maintaining financial stability and minimizing the risk of loss when gambling, because the longer we gamble, the greater the potential losses. It's also about maintaining our health. Spending too much time on our phones can significantly impact our eyes and body, especially if we gamble at night and stay up late, which can negatively impact our immune system and endurance.

Therefore, whenever possible, try to manage your time well, regarding how long we gamble, and determine how many times you will visit gambling sites each week. For me, I only gamble on my days off, namely Sundays, and limit it to no more than two hours.

Fun isn't just about gambling; there are many other more enjoyable things. So, when you have free time, don't just lock yourself in a room with a PC or phone screen on and constantly pressing the play button. Try going out and getting some fresh air, or pursuing other hobbies, such as exercising, fishing, or something else.

And after that, you repeated such long runs with the slots, how many times did you manage to win such a big win? It's hard to believe that after such a profitable day, you didn't think about it and try again. Have you ever played for 10 hours or more and lost your entire deposit? I think it's abnormal to play slots all day long. Even if you were lucky enough to win such a big win once, you had to spend so much time, I'm not even sure I could find that much free time to play slots.

Before i do play more than 6 hours and I think thats too much and I will admiit that sometimes I failed myself and secretly my famiily.
but now, 1-2 hours at peak is good enough just give me enough hapiness at niight when everyone is asleep. II dont want to waste the moment with fam now.
i want to create haopiness with them and win with gambling  after on.

Slots are a game of chance, where there is no specific strategy or timing, so there is no guarantee that you will win by just continuing to play in the hope of winning, but it can lead to more losses.
A responsible player knows when to stop, stopping yourself is the most important thing here, because there is no way to control the game, so there is no possibility that you will ever get the results you expect.
So deciding to gamble in the hope of getting back the money you lost can never be the right decision, and for this reason, stay away from gambling if you cannot accept defeat, otherwise if you make emotional decisions, you will definitely end up with huge losses.

I like slot games because playing slot games can be a way to pass the leisure time. However, if someone enters slot games with a short time, he will never have fun, rather he will get bored because the game that can be played here for a long time can actually enjoy the real fun. However, yes, there is a possibility of winning a good amount from here, but you have to wait a long time to win it.

Hours? How can people gamble for hours? This is the reason why they get addicted to it in the first place. The more hours you spend gambling equals the losses that you are going to incur. Slots can be very addictive and the more you keep getting lost in it you would find it difficult to quit. The amount of time you spend gambling doesn't increase your chances of winning rather it only makes you lose more in the long run

Do you know what my biggest mistake was? It was gambling with borrowed money. I lost it all in a few days. It was absolutely terrible. I couldn't imagine losing so much money. It took me almost five years to pay back that money, plus the interest on the loan, which is high in my country. I remember that time with horror. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Now I try to avoid loans altogether. Yes, I sometimes take out small amounts if I really need to. I try to pay it back immediately, within a few days, because I don't want to accumulate debt.

That's the thing with gambling addicts.

They would not know how long they have gambled

Casinos actually are designed with this in mind, they don't have any windows or clocks.

Time does not pass inside a casino.

People choose slots as their favorite gambling games because they don't need to learn or do many things. They just need to set the base bet and start playing. Betting on a small bet will be good for you if you want to spend your time in slots so you just wait for the spins to grind.

But you should be concerned about the fund you will use because a slot can make you forget about your limitations. If that happens, you may lose much money without you realizing it. We can win but we need luck so we don't have to push ourselves to keep playing especially since we already lose some amounts.

Playing slots for hours can really take a toll on your body especially your eyes and focus since the screen lights and constant motion keep your brain overstimulated. it’s fun when you’re in the zone but once the excitement fades you start to feel the strain. that’s why it’s important to take breaks even if you’re on a good run. look away from the screen every 20 or 30 minutes stretch a little and maybe get some fresh air before returning. Slot games are built to keep you hooked with the sound effects and animations. the longer you stay the more likely you’ll chase losses without realizing how much time has passed. setting a time limit before you start is a good way to protect yourself. once that limit is up you stop no matter if you’re winning or losing.

You should also watch for physical signs like tired eyes or a headache. that’s your body telling you to rest. if you ignore it your performance and decision-making get worse which means higher chances of losing more. So if you find yourself enjoying it too much take it as a reminder to slow down. it’s okay to have fun with games but balance matters. treat it like a form of entertainment not an endurance challenge and your mind and eyes will thank you for it.

Six hours is quite a long time, and I imagine I'd be sore after such a gaming session. But remembering my youth, I'd sit at the computer in a computer club for even more hours—even up to nine hours straight, with breaks for food. Apparently, such intensely engaging activities can make us forget about physiology in pursuit of our goals of quenching our thirst for the game. I'm glad you don't spend so much time on it now. Personally, I've started playing for a maximum of 30 minutes, but only because I like to up the stakes after losing spins.

6 hours playing slots must be something crazy especially if it is being done continuously and if we are facing our pc screen on that 6 hours without any rest. For me, I cant play more than 2 hours continuously, I do it even when I was participating in a contest only. For normal play, I will not spend more than 2 hours playing slot games.

I have played long enough and sometimes even more than 6 hours which now that I think about it is totally crazy. It happened to me when playing originals game after getting the monthly bonus of over 760.000 IDR and buying bonuses of 2500 to 3000 IDR and I started from 8 AM in the morning until well over 2 PM and it was only the F1 race starting that kept me from playing further. Some other times when I was buying bonuses in real slots and not originals with 500000 to 1000000 IDR a buy one which is like 35 to 70 dollars a buy, a big one for me I have played until 4 AM in the morning since 8 PM which again is crazy but at least I have made a couple of VIP levels by doing so.

Going to play for 6 hours, not even what I earn in salary could get me there, I play with very little money, in fact I play with the bare minimum to have fun, with 10usd maximum I wouldn't last that long even if I wanted to, I enjoy the slots, but 6 hours is too much, I think I would get to the point of getting bored or sleepy.
