Are slots hard to understand on purpose?

[tjtonmoy]

Gambling is based on luck but you can somehow predict the odds while playing certain games like the dice game. But that is not the case when it comes to games like slot games. One push or click, that's it. everything else depends on the machine's mechanism or the way it is built. You can do nothing about it. I have tried playing some in the past and it's just way too complicated for me. You win with some combination and there are a lot of them. Remembering them is hard.
But as you have no control over it, why bother remembering that in the first place? I just let the machine decide what will happen. It's just boring to me.

Slots is quite complicated compared to dice but it's more fun. However, both has a house edge so don't expect gambling it long term as we will never win.

With the growing gambling industry, more games are being introduce but slots is an old game and until now it's still existing. That could only mean that people are loving it and it's not hard to learn if you are interested with playing the game, but always be realistic with your chances as slots are here to entertain us, not a charitable institution to produce money for us.

When we say entertain us, that means we pay to be entertained.

Slots are a very old game and since they still exist today then we can infer they are really popular, and even if I do not particularly like slots it seems I am a minority as if you take the time to look at a psychical casino or an online one you will quickly realize that most of the games being offered are a variation of a slot game, so it is no surprising gamblers think of them as being too complex as each one of the them could be played differently and offer different odds.

They are popular because it's a very easy game to play. Yes, it's very old but once it was created, every gambler has fallen in love for it. And that it evolves in the last 20 years or so, many popular theme game slots are here, even those Hollywood movies, have theme slots as well.

It's not that complex, just the simply multiplier and then you press and roll and see how it goes for you.

However, it's based on pure luck, and probably this is the reason why many gamblers really fall for it as we want to test ourselves if we have the lucky touch and then have a chance to win big and chance our life.

I'm very rarely even almost  only  try a few times to play slot, but I find it hard to find luck there, maybe because of a lack of knowledge.
I prefer and often play dice and high low, it's easier and has a bigger chance of winning in my opinion, depending on how we set the amount of bets and set the winning presentation.

Slots are very very easy to understand.People who find them difficult are people who rush to start playing without clicking on the Information menu which in most of the well known providers give you a deep description of the slot machine you are about to play.Another way is to keep buying the feature in slot providers which offer this feature as by playing the bonus feature you learn the game mechanics.Overall slots are easy you only have to read the info in the beginning.

The description is indeed easy to understand. What players don't understand is how hard it is to win in slots. Most likely if you are not lucky in this kind of game, whatever understanding you do and reading on the description of slots, you won't understand it because your focus is on playing.

With the information that casinos provide on their slot games, I find it less complicated because you'll eventually learn those words, and a couple of those terms could help you understand casino games as a whole. For me, they've become easy to learn because there are so many different types of slots, and even though some of them are slightly different, they still have the same overall concept. Back then, i'd say slot games were probably complicated because you couldn't easily find this information within the casinos and you had to search for it on a different website.

Well, it's the gamblers due diligence to do their research so that they can understand how the games work. Although it's so much better now that everything is accessible. The information gamblers need are readily available at their disposal because sometimes it's even included in gambling website. And if it's not, one click and you can instantly see the search outcomes in the Internet.

Slot games aren't build to be complex. I think it's the opposite actually. They are luck based games that do not need much thinking before playing so it's pretty much straightforward. If you want to play, you just have to stake something and of course, hope for the odds to be in favor to you. Learning the jargons in gambling will be easy as you go along your journey. Everything can be learned afterall.

However with slots, you never know your win chance. You don't know what increasing your wager or coins does to winning chances and it's generally all so opaque.

Instead of winning chances there's terms like volatility and RTP,  which make little sense unless to the individual gambler. Honestly dice was complicated enough, slots are just too much. Makes me think that it could be on purpose. Players of slots seem to be unlikely to look into these details due to how complicated it is.

Has that been your experience too?

Of course they are!

At the end of the day, the more ignorant a player is to learning how to play the game, and the more confused they are, the more likely they are going to keep on playing and waiting for a "win"...Why?..because they don't really know the odds of when they will actually win, and how much more they are losing in comparison to winning.

This is why they make so many games, with so many different rules and parameters. If it was as easy as "Hey there, come and play this game where you are expected to lose 5, 10 or even 20% per $100 that you wager"...then no one would play!

That's good for you because you don't have to lose any more money. And it's better if you don't gamble too often if you find a gambling game that you like. And it seems that you like dice games but it also depends on luck if you want to win. Actually, slot games are the same as dice because you only need to set the bet size and press the button. And if later you are interested in playing slots, you have to be really careful because many people have become addicted to gambling because of this slot game, especially as we know there are lots of slot game providers. It can make someone forget to stop. And slot games are not difficult and are even very easy to play.

Can the information provided give you luck in winning?
This is not about learning or understanding how the slot machine system works but about playing and being able to win.
The reason is that winning in slot games is quite complicated and difficult because only luck can really give you win, which is why many people think slots are game of luck.
On the other hand, I also don't agree with what @terciduk123 said, that it is difficult for him to get lucky, perhaps because of lack of knowledge and in reality it is not possible but knowledge is not needed in slot games.
There is no strategy or method of knowledge that can guarantee winning slots.

Maybe what you mean is that buying the bonus buy feature can increase your chances of luck or victory, and that true, it just requires more money because the bet for buying bonus is 100 times the normal spin bet.
And of course winning when buying a bonus cannot be guaranteed, whether you can immediately win on the first or second or even third purchase and so on.
It better to play with normal spins and wait for the scatter to come, that way you can save more money too.

Slots are very easy to play, however they are rather obscure on the specific odds you are given and this is because there are simply too many different models and variations of this game, as a comparison lets look at blackjack, which has some variations but the number should not be above a few dozens, while when it comes to slots there are probably thousands of variations, so it is not surprising that many gamblers do not really know what is going on, even when they have played the same slot variation for a long time.

Here is a thought: A lot of, if not most casinos allow players to test out games without gambling real money. Those games are exactly the same (I would think) as the real games in which you bet with actual money. So technically, could you not figure out the odds and the mechanisms on your own, based off of testing those games? I think you could.

Also many of those games are based off of templates which already are known. Some of them even open source. That is another way you could delve deeper into it.

Or perhaps you could contact the game providers themselves and ask for information on their games. I think there is a lot you can do to understand slots.

I agree these slot games have many rules and hard to understand, but these rules are made to make the game more interesting and unique, hence they add certain rules through which you can play the game. At many site along with the instructions, they have a video display demonstrating the slot game, if you follow that then you can understand the game more easily. But still if you don’t want to take risk for your hard earned money, then it’s better to avoid slot games.

Maybe some, or most slots have lots of rules but those are only about getting a win. And at the end, all slot games are still being played the same. And that is through the push of a button. That is pretty simple. In fact, you don't need to take note of those rules but just play your heart out and if you are lucky, the wins will just come out naturally. If not, then that simply means you are unlucky. Apart from that video which shows a demo on how the game is played, there is also gambling streamers who can show us the same thing and more. All gambling games has a risk, so yeah. If we are afraid to lose then much better to avoid all of them. We can play small amounts but that can still be the start of something big later on.
