Slot eats money when luck is not on your side but it can be a blessing when you least expected. I have learnt to manage my gambling budget in a way that I will always leave something to make some spin whenever I have the chance, you never can tell how lucky you might be. It only become painful when you are desperate to win, then slot will settle down to deal with you.
Slots are pretty addictive, and those who manage to hit a big win once in any of the slots they play, it will become the reason for them to continue playing forever. I had a friend who never liked playing slots games, whenever I used to talk about them, he would say that slots are useless and you only lose money in them and even if you win, it takes it all back (even though he is right because mostly when you win something and still continue, you end up losing all the winnings again), but one day he tried one and hit a big win, from that day onwards, he kept playing only slots.
Slots are like a slow poison, actually, especially for those who don't stop at the right time. When playing slots, if you hit a big win and you are already above your initial deposit or bankroll, just stop and get out, because if you continue playing even after that, you will eventually lose your profits, and you will also lose your bankroll or a portion of it because your mind keeps telling you that the next bet might be the big win, so you continue spinning and eventually lose more than you had planned to lose on it.
