The "loaded slots" scam

[EarnOnVictor]

This can only be believed by fools or those who are just novices about the whole slot system, no one knows what will happen with the outcome, not even the house if it is provably fair play. The slot machine will only function based on what was programmed in it, and if it is your luck to shine on a faithful day, then that be it. But not believing that someone has the key and knows what will actually be the results of the slot play, that is not what any reasonable person should even think about not to talk of believing it. This is more reason why we have to be well-informed about gambling before we are actually playing it, which would avoid some kind of myths that can still leak out money from our pocket through scams. But if anyone will still go ahead to believe such a story after learning and being fully aware of how the slot game works, then such a person can only be termed a dummy.

I just found out about the story you're talking about, mate. Is what you're talking about only applicable to physical slot games? Why online is that also possible, mate? I think that doesn't apply to online casinos but only to physical slot machines, if I'm not mistaken, right?

Because I have never experienced anything like that in slot games here in crypto gambling, to be honest, like what you are talking about, mate. Maybe we gamblers should be careful, if ever, and we should always consider that we should be risk-takers as gamblers in this field of crypto business.

Same here mate, it was only my first time hearing it here but the scheme seems familiar to the ones I saw online. It is when there are jackpots. It's been a long time I play on different casinos but their jackpot amounts are still the same. Some only grow continuously.

This is one of the reason on why many people still tries their luck, thinking they can hit them one day and that can dramatically change their lives. But, I doubt that. I can only feel sorry for them. But it's great that there is such thread as this. This would be an eye-opener to them. As long as we play real gambling, there is a risk. So it's important to only use the money we can afford to lose.

I think there should be more discussion warning about scams here.
This particular scam is pretty old, and goes all the way back to a time where slot machines were physical coin toss and lever machines with actual spinning parts.
Back then it would actually kind of make more sense. A "loaded" machine could in theory give out more rewards.
But people unaware to the scam wouldn't know that hitting a jackpot doesn't actually pay from the money the machine holds anyway even back then. So we're talking about a scam that has been around for ages actually.

But surprisingly it's made a resurgence.
There's scammy ads and promotions all around. Someone claiming that if you pay them x amount of money, they'll give you some very secretive sets of information about what slot games to play and when, in order to get surewins.

It's important to emphasize that this is an outright scam. Slot machines, especially virtual ones, are based on chance alone.
So the term "loaded slot machine" does not apply at all. If you have ever seen someone believing in this myth, do your best to dispel it.
If we're going to gamble, at least we should be educated about it and do it in a healthy manner, without falling into the trap of fallacies.

There is nothing particularly sophisticated in this scam, it just leads back to the old adage - a fool and his money are easily parted. Anyone who uses just a little bit of common sense would determine that what you've described is complete and utter rubbish. You have really got to be desperate and suspend all rational thinking in order to go along with something like this. Like with many things in life, just stick to a few ideas like "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" and "Why if this is such a successful and money making endeavor, would someone be selling this magical trick and not milking it for every penny themselves?". Honestly, it's such a dumb concept that people who lose money to it might need to be taught that lesson the hard way, because it's the only way they will learn - with a painful memory.

We don't need to trust someone who claims they can provide some confidential information about slot games. We cannot expect to win in gambling, especially in online casinos. We can only gamble and enjoy it.
If we believe the myth and send some money to find out the secret, we have already been deceived by their offer. And instead of sending money to them, it's better to use it for gambling.
We will not regret it if we lose at gambling rather than losing money because we were deceived by those who offered the secret.

I have received some notification on relation to similar scam, where someone message me on telegram and tell me about cheat on slot game and how l can benefit from it if I can just pay to enter their premium telegram group where they will be given members access to how they can win from slot with any little amount they enter with.

I was just surprise if it was for a games like football and other sport games which they can claim they know how to predict it I could have given it a little listening ear and not slot game where I’m convince and know that the result is base on RNG which even if you study it very well you can’t always be right.

It is sad to say, but scams are a reality in this world, not only when it comes to gambling but also when it comes to jobs and other activities where we engage in deception. For example, there are those who willfully deceive others in order to live and get personal gain at the expense of others. As humans, we are prone to believing stories from others without verifying them, thus, I expect that this too good to be true will occur. Of course, scammers frequently prey on people's trust and vulnerabilities by taking advantage of their desire for quick cash rewards. When we give it some thought, we find that most slot machines are dependent on random chance and do not always pay out consistently. If we engage in such schemes, then it may result in our financial loss and disappointment because the information that is offered is probably false or ineffective.

That's right, we don't have to believe it if someone says they will provide a way to win slot gambling in the way they provide because it is impossible for what they say to happen correctly, only luck can win gambling like slots, yes it would be better we gamble and enjoy it and don't have to listen to what other people say.

If they use the method of asking for money and providing ways to win the game of course they don't have the winnings they get so they have to cheat other people so they can get money to gamble, I agree with you if we are better off using the money to gamble and if we lose we We won't regret it because we used our own predictions, but if we use their advice and lose, this will certainly be very disappointing.

Slot providers tell us that each spin is independent of each other and I tend to believe it as very few times but it has happened to me to get the bonus feature two spins in a row which for me confirms that each spin is independent of each other.Of course this does not mean that you can get two max wins in a row because that is designed by the slot provider has made an approximate number of spins to be done before you hit the max win.That is all and there is no loaded or unloaded slots.

[Solosanz]

This is nothing new, I think the new scam is related to signing under a gambling promoter's refs or gamble using superstitions will increase the chance to win. People might not lose any money, but scam is still scam even though it's not involved with money.

It is sad to say, but scams are a reality in this world, not only when it comes to gambling but also when it comes to jobs and other activities where we engage in deception. For example, there are those who willfully deceive others in order to live and get personal gain at the expense of others.

You can report them to authority, but make sure you're not live in a corrupted country.

Well, yeah, a physical slot machine can be rigged, which is a scam, but are you sure the digital or online slot machines are not rigged either? Yes, let's say the casino complies with their rights to operate and follow the laws, but it can also be helpful that an online casino is programmed by people, so what is the guarantee that an online slot machine is not a scam or rather will give a winner to the gamblers? That's why I don't do slot machines, whether online or physically, because the chances of winning are too low, and I don't want to waste money on that. As the OP said about those scams that offer services, or, let's say, something so that you could win in gambling, if you believe this and spend money on it, then you're an idiot, but it can't be help  if youal are too desperate to win money out of gambling and its your own fault.

The "loaded slot" is not a scam, it's more like a myth. It's a belief that we feed ourselves. That feeling exists in other games as well, the feeling that some big multiplier is coming after a long time, like x100/x1000 is near... In slots, that feeling is more pronounced, at least for me, after 50-100 spins I have the feeling that the bonus round is close and that the bonus round will be very profitable. It happened that the bonus really came and was very profitable. But a lot more times the bonus came and didn't give anything, or didn't come at all.

We all feel different things when we gamble, sometimes we are too positive or too negative, or however we feel. But all these feelings can and often do deceive us. It does not necessarily mean that something is a scam if we expect too much and get nothing.

Unfortunately, the internet has become a paradise for scammers, because they know that the internet is the only place in the world where they can steal and lie and not be easily caught. Unlike mixers that are targets of governments and governments put a lot of effort and spend a lot of financial and human resources to catch the owner of the mixer, governments don't go after casinos, nor do they go after hyip ponzi sites. but they keep chasing cryptocurrency exchanges. so scammers can create scam casinos, scam games that no one will arrest them. The only thing that every person should do before creating accounts at a casino and playing some strange game is that the person should do research beforehand and very carefully

and when the person detects signs of scam, then the person must post it here on the forum. One of the most effective ways to combat scams is whenever everyone finds a scam site on the internet, they expose that scam site here on the forum. This reduces the risk of many people using the scam site. This is how this forum managed to stop the many advertisements for hyip ponzi sites in that other gambling section, the scammers felt that no one here will believe in their ponzi sites and stopped posting their hyip ponzi scam sites every day . This can also be seen with casinos, which is why in my opinion when someone sees a casino scam on the internet, they should open a scam accusation in the appropriate section, this alerts many people

If this your belief then you should not gamble in general since most of the gambling games is based on trust. Any gambling games can be rigged other than slot games. There’s a lot of video available in the web that other casino practicing cheat even on table games like roulette and blackjack.

Online casino games doesn’t disclose their source code while most of the live games have a part which can be cheat. So it’s up to the player if they will trust the provider or not but Casino has an advantage against players without cheating due to the house edge so they don’t need to resort to bad practice just to gain profit.

Those "believers" that make things to make it bearable to continue to gamble? Those are just things that make up the gambling world with deceit and make you feel like you have a chance. I think the modern world needs to have an understanding of how they could be done but in general, there's no such thing as just the edge of the casino. Maybe they just want the feel of winning and that they have somehow a chance for it.

[dothebeats]

I would believe that there are certain physical slots wherein payouts are incoming. This is something that I've learned from old heads who used to operate and maintain these machines. Idk if that kind of thing is still implemented in the latest machines on casinos, but those slot machines will almost certainly give out a kind of jackpot to the players who played at that particular time.

I believe it doesn't go similarly to online casinos. Even if it does, there's no way of keeping track of how many games were played and how much were wagered at a specific time frame so you can't just time it and play when you think it's going to drop some wins on you.

There's scammy ads and promotions all around. Someone claiming that if you pay them x amount of money, they'll give you some very secretive sets of information about what slot games to play and when, in order to get surewins.

Will they give you some secret informations regards which virtual slot machines to play? Well, if we were talking about land based casinos, it would make more sense, as physical machines are more prone to be frauded, since they don't have the provably fair mechanism enabled and each of them can be configured manually in different manners. There was even the belief depending the hour of the day some machines rewarded more than others, so there were gamblers analyzing which machines they should be playing at, depending the time of the day.

However, someone must be too naive to pay a random stranger on the internet who supposely promises to reveal secret informations about what slots they should play, since there are hundreds or thousands of players betting simultaneously at the same slots' games on the internet. In theory, everyone should be winning together at some moment of the day. And if they are talking about land based casinos, it's not a great scam scheme either, since it's hard to reach customers of a specific casino with their "hot" informations.

There are two sets of people that will fall victims to this we have the desperate people and then the greedy people in gambling.

Desperate people will be victims to this because they have lost so much and are just looking for ways to win as compensation at least for the many losses that they have handled, so when this kind of information comes to them, they really want to believe it is true and will want to try.

Greedy people have not lost much, may not have even gambled but because they hear this kind of information, they see it as a way to make easy money, so they are easy to convince and quick to pay these scammers.  Be a gambler, but do not be desperate and greedy at the same time.

Each type of gambling has its own scheme and rules, and when we talk about the type of slot gambling, this is a type of gambling that is deliberately programmed to provide maximum results to the casino owner, because the casino's biggest income is from slot games.

In contrast to other types of betting, such as card gambling or sports betting, when playing this type of gambling (slots) we are not really required to have special knowledge, experience and skills. We only need to know the rules of the game, because playing it is quite simple, you only need to press the spin button on your cellphone screen. However, it is important to remember that in carrying out this type of gambling, we are required to have good self-control, remembering that even though the way to play this type of gambling is quite simple, this type of gambling carries a fairly high risk of experiencing losses. In playing this type of gambling, there is no specific strategy on how to achieve a win, because this gambling almost entirely depends on the luck factor.

If you’re seeing these ads in particular within bitcointalk, I’m guessing you should move this topic to Scam Accusations or at the very least in Reputation. It brings the topic to an audience that is more likely to consider it a serious pickle than if you would’ve just kept it here.

If it’s outside, best that I could really recommend to you is getting an adblocker that also blocks popup ads like that. I’m sorry but the thing is that these kinds of scams work because there are people who fall for it. Proper information campaigns can only go so far and while prevention is almost always better than the cure, there’s not much you can do at this point besides setting an adblocker if you really wanna prevent yourself from falling for these scams.

I think if on bitcointalk this would have received a warning from any party because in this forum it is not easy to commit fraud because the majority of users here are smarter than the majority outside this forum, such as on social media who are easily provoked by this kind of fraud, and We have to be careful if we find advertisements or promotions circulating on social media because most of them are just people who want to take advantage of someone's situation and they can make a profit.

Any type of game in gambling is based on chance and luck, no one really knows the secret behind gambling because no one knows these tricks except the owner or bookie himself, even the bookie himself doesn't trust his own employees about gambling tricks because they are worried about it. many people know about it. Yes, if these advertisements appear on your cellphone, it is better to block the advertisements and tell friends around us so that they are not easily fooled by this type of fraud.

If we're going to gamble, at least we should be educated about it and do it in a healthy manner, without falling into the trap of fallacies.

I was caught by the FALLACY. I dearly agree with you at OP that if we must ride through the gambling, we shouldn't get attracted by the fallacies of how interesting the gambling sites rumours are speculated because it could be a term of marketing strategies to attract its audiences.
But personally, if the Gambling/Casino commissions could take responsible to this fact, then the gambling casinos should be urged not to influence the people about the qualities and offers that are not a reality to their system because they gets the audience aiming at what doesn't exist.
