Do you like or hate Royal symbols on bitcoin slots?

[robelneo]

I used to play slots but the royal symbols are the least of my concern I am more concerned about the spin and my chances of winning, but others will find it entertaining if they see graphics on the slots, I rarely play slots now although entertaining I have a better chance to win in dice games and hi-lo, I'm sure there are many fans of slots here.

[Cling18]

I don't think it affects the whole gameplay. I don't either consider it as a problem. There are other features that should be developed in slots than the royal symbols. It would be better if they would offer bonuses or other spin promo offers. That will surely attract more players.

Royal symbol doesn't contribute a quarter to thematic experience thereby making the graphics poor compared to slots without royal symbols. For me since it's lazy I would rather prefer it be left that way for historical purposes so we could tell our own story of what casino was during our time and to also help developers of the newer era to have a system to rely on while working on better projects

im not hating them but i dont play slots with a simillar theme or slots that have letters but i like slots with nice sprites

 It's better for providers to invest the time creating Royals into creating themed symbols

i thought you hate it ? you mean its better to invest their time creating a cool different theme than invest most of their time in creating basic themes or designs like royals

Ruin the possibility of players to fully immerse into the storyline

it can ruin if the story or the theme is different but they insist to put elements that are not related in the game

Yes, the idea was to invest the time in creating themed symbols. For example, instead of spending 3 hours to create a K symbol, providers could creat a golden coin or a cookie or whatever the theme is.

By the way I don't personally hate them, I just prefer slots that are visually rich and with themed symbols. I even don't particularly mind when the Royals are somehow related to the theme.

Hope it makes sense.

The main ideas why Royals should remain in history are:
- Lazy solution
- Don't contribute to the thematic experience
- Ruin the possibility of players to fully immerse into the storyline
- Slots without Royals are more 'graphically rich'
- It's better for providers to invest the time creating Royals into creating themed symbols

Well, I don't think these you have mentioned above were the reason why the Royal symbol on the slot games or in a card game has remained. Perhaps because gamblers already know how to identify or determine what card it is. If there is who want to change the symbol will perhaps become confused about what card it is. So the popularity of the cards should remain on this game and nothing will change. A slot without royal does not look like a slot game. If you are going to ask me, --yes, I like the royal symbol on the slots or cards. It is easy for you to identify the cards.

In general, it's not actually playing a role in terms of changing the gameplay of a certain gambler especially online.

However, there are gamblers, especially playing at land-based casinos that have casino beliefs and strictly following their own way of gambling and that symbol on certain slots is one of them or we can consider playing a big factor.

We, as an average gambler here in crypto wouldn't understand that so we just have to leave it as it is.

When it comes to choices then this would vary from person to person because some would be looking for specific factors which would interest them

and decided for them to play and if you do tend to search up or see the current poll results then it does show that majority people of this forum

doesnt really care about symbols or whatsoever before playing slots or games that they do like and there would be definitely
things which are preferred and which arent or simply dislike.

[Oceat]

I don't really find any problem about the symbol since this is what the majority known already but if you think you have a better idea what symbol you want to replace with them then go ahead and sign a petition or whatever that would make your idea be reasonable enough to let casino owner change it. But I don't think they want to change the long history symbols for royal it is what it is and it's not in the slot either.

I think they left it like that because not everyone will play slot forever, some of us will play card games too. So I think that's the reason why they have to left it as it is.

[famososMuertos]

It is something that depends on the player it is very personal sometimes you just play, sometimes you just want to wager and you do not care if it is the least impressive slot, but with the great variety that exists and the growth of more and more fans of slots, there are slots for all kinds of tastes. Although volatility, update HE among others are actually more important.

In my case, put the symbols you want, I just want to see profits.

Yes mate, it seems that many players share the same idea. They prefer the simplicity of understanding the cards and not bothering with paytables more than the visual experience.

It's an interesting topic and that's why I started this thread. Was interested in different point of views and it's really nice to see what players think for something that hasn't quite changed/evolved while everything else evolved. We have fantastic slot mechanics, innovations of all kinds, and yet the Royals are still there. It seems now that there is a good reason why providers are still using them quite often.

Hey mates,

I hope I have an interesting discussion for all of you slots fans here.

I'm wondering whether you think Royal symbols should not be used anymore? Do you perhaps like them instead? Or do you not even care? 

If you're not sure what Royal symbols are - These are the symbols represented by cards. Casino game developers usually include the highest-ranked ones – Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10. Sometimes, you may even find random 9s and 8s all over the reels.

One of our iGaming experts discusses that these are a lazy solution, especially in heavily animated and themed video or 3D slots. Guy Hasson seems to agree through one of his interviews. He's an iGaming veteran who worked with iGaming giants Playtech and Playtika.

How do you feel about it? Until recently, bitcoin slots were quite simple I'd say. Nowadays we're seeing some cool and creative solutions. Are you in for the payouts only or do you care about the looks too?

I'd love to read your points of view! 

In general, playing cards were invented in the Middle Ages, at the beginning of the Hundred Years War. 

They were invented for the entertainment of the king of France.  He was a fool. 

Playing cards and their corresponding symbols (aces, kings, queens, jacks, spades, hearts, diamonds, crosses, etc.) are very ancient symbols.  They have a great sacred meaning.  This is an ancient tradition. 

In my opinion, their use in modern gambling is permissible.  This demonstrates the strength of tradition.  Continuity. 

Respect for our shared past.

While it's true the modern playing cards were developed hundreds of years ago (and were also the trigger for John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich to request two slices of bread to put his meat between so that he didn't get the playing cards stained with oils from the meat...) it should also be noted that the modern playing cards evolved from the ancient Tarot Cards sharing symbols and meanings between the two types of decks.

[davis196]

To be honest,I don't care.It doesn't matter what symbols are being used.The question is how they were used.
I assume that this is more of a web design problem rather than a problem with features,functionality,etc. of every online casino.I like online casinos that have simple straight to the point look,instead of casinos that have heavy loading webpages with a shiny,colorful,"all over the place",confusing web design.

[smyslov]

So far only one voted for taking it down, I used to play slot and I don't see anything wrong with it I don't even care about all the icons on those slots even if they are alphabet or numbers I have no issue with it, I don't see anyone complaining in the chat on any gambling site I'm ok with it as long as the gambling site is reputable.

[just_Alice]

When playing slots I care for graphics and overall experience, gambling is about fun and spending a good time, after all, isn't it? So yeah, graphics, colors, themes contribute to the overall experience. There is an extremely wide range of slots these days, so for any kind of payout you are likely to find many slots with different themes, so why bother with the boring ones? 
IMO slots with royals aren't really interesting, a lot depends on the provider also. I personally really like Relax, Yggdrasil, and Thunderkick.

[Saisher]

I have no problem with those icons I am getting used to them but if they want to replace it with a better one with a good graphic, why not, I'm all for the fun it won't make me lucky whatever icon they are using, I have not read a complaint that he is unlucky because of the icon the slot is displaying but you are right we are in a new generation if they want to go and embed a new one that's going to be ok.

What a load of rubbish. You know why "lazy" solutions are the best? Because they are usually the simplest format to represent something. Numbers 2,3 and 4 are all trying to say the same thing in a slightly different way. "Royal" figures can be represented in any form you like and do not need to be restricted to a certain graphical representation, they are simply a different way of showing certain numbers. There is good reason that "old" stuff has lasted for such a long time and it's because no one came up with better solutions that were easily memorable - people aren't going to bother trying to relearn how to use a deck of cards because some marketing nobody decided that royalty was bad. It seems these people have nothing better to do than sit around all day trying to reinvent the wheel.

[aioc]

Whenever I play the slot my concentration is all about hitting the jackpot I don't mind all the icon I'm seeing every gambling sites have different design and I become accustomed to some of them while playing, I'm playing to have some fun and to make money and not on analyzing the design of the gambling site, every gambler have different taste on the site they are playing.

[BITCOIN4X]

I have no problem with symbols in slot game especially regarding royal symbol. I think all the royal symbol that exist today in many slot game are easy enough for most players to remember and they may not care about the graphic appearance as long as the payout of each royal symbol is no different if it is replaced with another symbol. Personally maybe I don't really care about the symbol and I'll keep playing as long as I like the game.

Ah, absolutely agree with this. And the providers you mentioned ROCK! Also ELK Studios, Play'n GO, and Push gaming have some really cool slots with amazing visuals.

It's not necessarily rubbish. Some of the most popular slots these days like Jammin Jars, Reactoonz, Goblin's Cove, Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, and many more are actually slots without Royals. If they remain popular and widely played, I guess players do enjoy them even without the Royals. As for why Royals still exist, it's obvious in the reposnses that for some players they provide a simpler experience and that's perfectly fine and acceptable. Nevertheless, I think that we'll see less and less from them as most new games come without them while providers try to focus on the visual experience more.

I think the shift is obvious even in crypto casinos. Proprietary provably slots used to be so simple, but now casinos are releasing more graphically advanced solutions. I think that's going to be the main trend moving forwards but we'll see.
