Skill Based Slot Machines

[maydna]

I have never tried it and don't even know what a skill based slot machine is like because as far as I know, slot games are just luck based. And if you are unlucky, you lose. But if something could offer the perks of getting a spin bonus like @OP said, I suspect some gamblers are willing to try it. Gamblers will always look for something new that can provide an opportunity to win from gambling because they have often experienced defeat. Since I didn't know the type of skill-based slot machine yet, I still favored the traditional slots found in online casinos.

Skill based on betting but still pure luck when it comes to the game itself. It is what it is; a slot player would really depend on one's luck and fate in order to come up with a win. I doubt that this would really be or hundred percent be a skill-based game . If players would be able to set strategies to win the game, that would already be a different game. I saw new gambling sites somehow creating or adding spice on traditional gambling games butif we would view it in a broader perspective, idea is still the same. And there is nothing wrong with it. As far as I observe, players are still more hooked up with the classic set up of slots than with the newer versions. Likewise with roulette, dice games and such.

I looks good like a idea but in reality it won't work. There is no serious casino which will take this in consideration when they don't have fixed margin of profit. Also as I have heard regulation around gambling are very strict so it will hard in general to implement this.

I agree. This sort of thing in person may be a possibility but for online gambling I would think this sort of gambling would be impossible. If it was available, I’m sure people would immediately be developing bots that could win every time. That wouldn’t let a game like this last for long before the casino started taking massive losses. Cool idea, just not possible to implement online in my opinion.

If it's effective, it will surely won't last or succeed in the long run. Casinos might prohibit it if it's going to reduce their profit or might cause them losses in the future. However, I don't think these skill-based slot machines don't rely on luck. We all know how slots work and there's no guarantee that a certain skill could make a player win continuously. The house won't allow it as well if it will affect their business negatively.

Today I am reading about skill based slot machines which is very popular among millennials. This is the first time I am reading this in my life as a gambler. All that I have known about slot machines is that the outcome is purely based on luck¹ as a result of the Random number Generator (RGN). From what I read, the major difference between this skill based slot machines and the regular/traditional ones we know is that there is a bonus round for the players to² display their skills which gives them a greater chance of winning. Despite this, the odds are still stacked up against the player.
Has anyone here tried it out?

I have never heard of a skill based slot machine. Are you even sure they are a popular thing?

If you were to ask me, I would say that any skill based game where you can make money is just waiting to be exploited. You cannot really exploit something which works with probabilities but if you add an algorithm for "skills" you can easily develop an automated way to always win. It would be simple code for a "human emulator".

Sounds shady. I would love to see the inner workings of such a "skill based gambling game". Maybe the skill part is just marketing and its not got anything to do with your abilities?

Now you must be clear with the fact as to what is the difference between a traditional machine and a skill-based slot machine. If you are using a skill-based slot machine, you can apply the experience and skills to the game’s bonus part. In this section, you can apply it to increase your chances of winning and making more profit.

I just read the entire article about the skill base slot machine and I couldn't find any single difference about the skill-based slot machines and the traditional one apart from the fact that on a skill base slot machine a gambler is given a bonus time to practicalized his skill, that can also be done on a traditional slot machine, because for me luck remains a major factor to both kinds of slot machines, because both kinds of slot machines can be studied and understand how they works, as I'm sure the  pressure by which a gambler spins the wheel of a slot machine has a big role to play to where it's arrow may fall.

I need to digest for a while what is meant by luck based slot machine. from the first link, I didn't get the specifics that are meant by skill-based slot machines. I want to continue to read the second link, but unfortunately I can't access it. because, too many ads on the link.

However, if referring to the first link. I suspect, that this is a new idea that will be stretched. as the article says, skill-based slot machine is a new kind that replaces the older scenario of slot machine. to be honest, as you said I also just read and even heard that there is a skill-based slot machine. This is interesting, but I'm still confused whether this is still an idea that is currently in a project that will be carried out by gambling game developers. or, still in the planning stage. or if this luck-based slot machine already exists, I am challenged to find out more about it and even want to try playing it.

Most of the slot game is purely based on the luck.It very commonly known ideology of slot games,your words of slot game based on knowledge is more specie one.The slot game is based on the Random Number Generator in all the websites.The process is the very simple,the RNG will create one number and based on that number.The slot game will chose the winner of the certain slot,So who had lucky on that day will be the winner of the certain day.Incase the slot game which based on skill was introduced into the gambling,then the winner will become a decentralised one.Because person who was good at the analytical skill will find the desired outcome and place the bet on that number.So of course he will be winner because of his knowledge in the numbers and slot game knowledge.The long term slot game player will learn many tricks on playing slot games for longer period.

In all my years of gambling, I've never played on a physical slot machine, all slot games I've played have always been online.

But to answer the question, knowing how bad I am with anything that has to do with luck, I think I would prefer the skill based slot machine if ever I have a chance to play on a physical slot machine, and I'm given the option to chose between the two.
I believe in my skill than I believe in luck, it is better for me to lose due to my poor skill than to lose due to bag luck - this is because, losing due to bad skill simply means, I have a choice of deciding whether to improve my skill or not, but losing due to bad luck, leaves me with no option at all, because nothing can really be done, except to pray for better luck next time..

I don't also want to go too deep with that. Slots are better to remain as luck based and if there have been some changes made by the slots providers or any developer to make it just as skilled based game, I don't think that it will click. There's already the belief that it's a luck based game and that's the fun starts. I have not known any casinos that do have it but if there's the reinvention on this, those who wants to try, may try it if that's what you want. I'll just stick to what I've used to.

I still prefer the traditional slots over the skill-based slot because I remember playing the skill-based slot game once and it had a bigger house edge. To me, it felt like no matter how skilled you are at playing that slots it kind of evens out because casinos will most likely increase the house edge as most of their players would be curious to test it out. I like the new type of slots as it's good to have changes but for now, it's better to continue playing traditional slots until the providers find ways to improve the skill-based ones.

Slot machines are an excellent source of income for casinos, because most of them (as you said yourself) are programmed to give victory or defeat to the player based only on luck, which as we all know, always favors the house.

A skill-based slot machine is sure to reduce the house's winnings and that's why these slots are rare and when found, they are only limited to a bonus stage.

I would love to play a purely skill based slot machine, I believe some old arcade games that pay out in Bitcoin would be a good start for casinos to start investing

[Maslate]

Whenever I hear the phrase "slot machine," the word "fun" immediately comes to mind, so I prefer traditional slot machines as they give me more enjoyment. Moreover, when playing slots, I don't need to spend a lot of money since I tend to focus more on sports betting when it comes to spending a significant amount of money.

[Hispo]

I think I have heard about these ones before on TV, but I have personally never seen one.
I guess the standard is leaning to fully luck based gambling, for several reasons.

Also, I assume that skill based slots would be more difficult to program as provably fair and the boost provided by the skills of the gambler are not even noticeable anyways, so the effort would not be worth it.

It would not be appealing to those gamblers who only want to sit back and relax a bit while trying their luck while doing something else.  

[Fundamentals Of]

I have only played traditional slots, manual and online. I am not really familiar with skill-based slots but I think both the traditional slots and this new skill-based slots are still largely based on luck. I don't exactly know what skill is involved but this is only provided in a bonus round, just an extra round of a game which is still luck-based overall. And even if the odds will improve if you are winning these skill-based bonus rounds, they remain to be in favor of the casino.

Skill based slots — that sounds funny, nonetheless I would play wherever there is better chance for me to make profit, so ofc this one. Not sure if this thingy is available anywhere online.

From what I read, the major difference between this skill based slot machines and the regular/traditional ones we know is that there is a bonus round for the players to² display their skills which gives them a greater chance of winning. Despite this, the odds are still stacked up against the player.

As I understand it, it will still be a game of long term negative return for the player, but the skill will be able to give him a higher RTP.

Has anyone here tried it out?
Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?

I prefer the traditional one, as I haven't tried the other one yet. I didn't know anything about it, but I'm curious about it, and I'll try it as soon as I get the chance.

I looks good like a idea but in reality it won't work. There is no serious casino which will take this in consideration when they don't have fixed margin of profit. Also as I have heard regulation around gambling are very strict so it will hard in general to implement this.

Next time you'd better stop and read instead of writing the first nonsense that pops into your head.

Casinos pay the bills with slots period. I don't see "skill based slots" being profitable for a casino, so I doubt many casinos would put them on their floor. Same goes for the online casinos, they just wouldn't bring the money that normal slots bring.

There's a house edge for a reason.

This is the first time I've heard of this skill-based slot machine model and I thought it was a very interesting model to try. From the explanation I got from the website that you provided, this model allows users to be able to maximize their profits "Skill-based slot machines deliver you the chance of working yourself and apply some skills to boost your profit rapidly." This is the first time I've heard of this type of gambling. No wonder it's popular among young people because this model can be very profitable for them. But I doubt that this model will be implemented in many casino platforms because profit margins can be quite small for casino platforms.

I think idea definitely looks good in theory if truly increases your chances somehow. But its still hard to claim as skill based opportunity. Increased chance does mean you only manipulate random number generator behind device. Its still decided by algorithm. There should be some way to clearly influence your chances. Like pushing a button to increase your chance to hit certain shapes in game etc. I find it bit complicated so. Traditional slot machines work for years. People would like bonus rounds but marketing these as skill based wouldn't be accurate.
