Should I quit playing slots?

[Wakate]

Yesterday I decide to have a slots session, and it wasn't even fun. I made a $100 depo and start playing on my favorite slot game Nitropolis 4 from ELK

Most of the spins where dead spins with $2 bets, when I lose all my balance I made another $100 depo. And again some bad rolls until I hit the bonus, on that bonus I win $30 before the bonus started a $0 from the 8 free spins.

After that experience it leves a bad taste, I didn't enjoy the session, and feels like a rigged game.

It is assumed that ideally, we feel more fun and excited when we games and are lucky to secure some profits or better we take back out stakes.

Loosing furiously definitely on tons of amount by which it seems a huge lost to us usually ruins the games like it does not at all have no excitement features.

Sometimes we could even feel grudge for the game makers just because we are unable to secure some profits or bonus winning.

It is true that no of us want to be seeing loses when we bet but we'll have to keep seeing it as normality. There are bad days and good days we ought to take those days seriously working on ourselves or doing things that will increase our mental health. It is good we try to take a rest when we lost bets without panicking for too look. Days like a bad days when we lose bets is meant to make us stronger not to weaken us to a level when we could become desperate to win the lost funds  by playing for too long with the intention to get our money back.

True, because after all gambling is not only about the chance of winning but the risk of losing will also always be part of the game, meaning as you said that we have no choice but to consider losing as something normal or reasonable, moreover I think it is very reasonable if there is a risk in an activity that provides a chance of winning but with little effort, meaning if you really don't want to experience defeat at all then there is no other way than to find a regular job, because gambling is not the right place to earn income.

This means that if you really want to get involved in gambling then never make winning a priority, because after all the results in the game can never be controlled and everything is always about two things, namely between winning or losing, when winning is fun while when losing may make you a little uncomfortable, but that is not something that should be responded to with emotion, so yes it would be better to stop when you lose as you said, but when you win it should be the same, you need to stop in both situations to be able to enjoy the results of victory and avoid excessive annoyance when you are in a losing situation.

Had anyone here had an experience like that and think about quit playing slots?

It's rigged in a way that odds are slightly against you. You don't need a scamming accusation on top of that to justify your losses, but it's understandable, it's hard to justify to yourself losing money especially if you haven't had fun or excitement during it. Losing a lot of money is hard to justify to ourselves even when we had fun for it.

But it seems like you have made your decision already and you are looking just confirmation from he community. My suggestion is that you might want to step back and do some self reflection. And if you want to understand why you lost, play that same game with fun mode, like you would normally do and use exactly same budget with same bet amounts you usually do. And don't go over your budget even though that's just demo mode you are playing with. Every time you lose, you'll thank yourself it wasn't your real money, and remember to mark down your losses and wins to excel sheet to keep up how much you are virtually losing. It gives you perspective

But this method only works if you keep following your normal budget and don't accidentally win a lot with huge bets. Most likely you don't win anything huge in few days, and you get a sense where your money is going.

Stop playing slots if you think you’re uncontrollable already and can’t manage your emotions, otherwise you will keep on losing but zero winnings. Slots is a game of chance and luck, you should know that before you decide to play. It may give you few chances to win at first but you will also experience series of losses after, that’s how slots are designed, actually all gambling games that are purely luck based.

Normally the fact of asking the question already indicates that the person should quit but the way the OP puts it does not seem to be the typical case. Rather he is an acquaintance of this section who is mathematically literate, albeit with some weird belief that some variant of martingale will work for him, and who has had an experience as we all have had, of a bad session that fucks you up.

[taufik123]

In my country there are many cases of people who eventually go bankrupt or become poor or even crazy because of this type of slot game, and maybe I will include them in the category of gamblers who really can't control themselves and of course it can really be fatal especially if their favorite type of gambling is a slot machine. -snip-

Most of them are indeed slot games that make people fall into poverty and become stressed.
They play an easy game hoping to hit the jackpot, but they are wrong, and it will not happen instantly without a loss.

Not only falling into poverty or stress, there are also many suicides because of online slot gambling that costs their money and possessions.
It is dangerous to play in gambling without good management, strategy and control, they are just ordinary people who enter just to pit their fate and hope for big profits.

Actually, we can pause ourselves from playing slot games so we can check what is going on with us. We can check our balance after playing slot game for some time and if we see our balance is reduce a lot, we must stops from playing slot game immediately. That can cause use spend our balance at one day without thinks that we actually can save our money for other days to playing gambling games.

Yes you are right, we can stop at any time, but this of course depends on how the awareness and control of each player is.
If they are aware and there is a pause that needs to be done to think and not spend all the money, they will be saved.

But in fact, they play quite crazy and even use all the money for slot gambling which is only gradual in just a few rounds without winning.

[famososMuertos]

In practice, $400 works well for a bet size of $0.2.

I think the maximum I've won playing $0.2 slots is about $150 but you probably have more experience than me.

How does that particular comment influence your experience or mine, and even more so in the slots, put money in and spin it is: Rocket science slots, I don't think so.

I prefer the $150 than start crying and that has nothing to do with the experience, it's common sense, I hope I never get the experience

Nowadays, it is really that quite rampant to see people on social media specially into those casino games which specifically on slot game on where there are tons of people who are really that interested on playing up this game on which they are really that very common nowadays. Slot gaming is really that totally entertaining and enjoyable on which on the moment that you do find yourself that getting addicted if you wont really be that careful. This is why it would really be that important that on the moment that you do find yourself being that not enjoying anymore and at the same time you have spent up too much money, then this is the best time for you to quit up or make up some break so that you wont really be messing up your life with if you would really be tending to play further.

Should you quit slots? It would really be that up to you but sticking into that sensible and responsible side of things then it would really be that understandable basing up on the situation
that you should really be that quit or having a break at least and think off well on the things that you are really that dealing on with.

That is why we must have awareness and control so we can decide to stops at any time we want and will not get tempts to playing another gambling games. We know that if we can't enjoy for playing gambling, that means we should quit gambling immediately because if we can't stops at that time, we can lose more money without we realizes. Many people losing their money in gambling although they can't enjoy the gambling games but they still playing gambling and that is a wrong way to uses gambling as an entertainment.

Yes, even if they lose and can't enjoy the gambling games, they still use more money to playing gambling. Even they already lose some more money, that doesn't makes them realizes that they don't have a big chance to wins in gambling games. We must have awareness and good self control to avoids spends too much money just to playing gambling.

Revenging has never meant well for any gambler, it is emotional and emotion they say is weakness, so why entertaining weakness? Gamblers might preach from now to tomorrow on this context but what I will advise is for them to make a solution immediately and have their gambling system and plans before they start the activity. They need this to prepare for the emotions that could infest them and must ensure that they are disciplined and determined around gambling. Otherwise, their gambling psychology will always fail them. Having a gambling system and plans means that you know your strategy, the budget and the timing, and if you can thoroughly adhere to them, there is no way gambling can be an issue to the point of either being greedy or trying to revenge which can later cause huge problems.

I would even advise such players to write down all their thoughts on paper. For example, I did it this way: I drew a diagram in which I assumed different outcomes, in which I considered that I could lose everything, or win a lot, or play 50/50.
And I added my action plan to each block in the diagram, so that I would know what I would do next. In this way, I knew all the outcomes and it was easy for me to fight spontaneous decisions.

In my opinion, you should make your own decision whether to quit playing slots because it depends on what your goals are. Losing is a natural outcome of a gambling session, so it can not be a driver for a decision. The only thing I would advise you is to learn to limit your deposit and end the gambling session after you have increased your bankroll by 20-30%. In this case you would lose much less, or even win if you exit in time.

that's right, of course when gambling is out of control it tends to make emotions peak and that can only make things worse in the future. if the gambling is still under good control then it doesn't matter if you still want to do it but remember that self-control can be lost at any time and that will make things worse so when gambling is out of control like emotions that start to appear then you should stop and leave gambling which aims to avoid big losses or big bad events. and actually control is all in our own hands who determine it and do it, if we ourselves do not have limits maybe gambling will continue even though we have experienced many defeats.
indeed luck plays a big role in gambling, luck can be a determinant of gambling that will end in defeat or victory and not many people can get victory because it is not based on skill but luck which of course no one knows for sure about luck. although some gambling does depend on skill but that does not mean it is free from luck, with gambling that involves skill luck still plays a role. this must also be considered.

Usually slots give a little win to please the player a little, but you have that rare case when the slot did not please you at least a little. Of course, after such a desire may not arise at all for the game. I also had a similar case and to be honest after it I stopped playing slots altogether and completely switched to bets and occasionally poker. The thing is that in slots to form future jackpots, the machines need to consume your money like a bottomless pit, so you got into this. You were just unlucky, but no one knows when this mode occurs, because if everyone knew, then simply no one would go there to play. In addition, the greatest desire to throw in money again to win back is incredibly great at this moment and you need to be very emotionally strong not to do this.

I'm not that addicted to gambling, to be honest, the session that i described on this topic was my last gambling session, after that, i didn't bet more, only played a free roll on Sunday but my AK got busted against QQ. But not risking money on the way.

I'm still having a bad flavor about that slot session, and gambling is not to end that way, maybe it will take me 1 or 2 months to decide to come back to that casino.

As simple as that,right? If you do find out that playing slots or any game or gambling turns out to be stressful. Gambling should really be that entertaining or something that you could enjoy
and if you are on such condition that you are experiencing the other way around then its just right that you should quit or stop. It would really be just that needed for you to have that
common sense whether you would really be that making up such decision or not. Gambling should really be that entertaining and if it gives out opposite then quitting would be the solution.
Never ever tolerate such kind of impulsive approach or action on which this could really be causing up to make things even more worst. It is really that needed up for you to act the right way.

Yes, I agree with your idea that actually defeat is not a situation that can encourage a gambler to make a decision, especially one that leads to various actions that tend to be impulsive due to the inability to accept risks, stopping at the right time will always be the best, but it's all up to you, as long as you can control yourself and only deposit a small amount without any increased emotions in the situation such as a losing situation, then please continue if you want, but of course while maintaining your awareness so that everything can remain measurable. Basically, all forms of prevention are the best, especially in an activity that has the potential to trigger significant risks, and overall I believe that all forms of prevention will most likely only be able to be done by gamblers who are aware from the start of the dangers of the impact of the activity.

Stop can be something temporary or permanently, so of course it will be depending on ourselves on what to decide.
I am as slot players, some time I stop temporarily when I feel that I am in a bad luck with slots (especially after bad result in few different slots).
Then I'll come back once I feel better after the bad losing streak, taking a break is must on everything we do in this life including gambling.
All in all, slots sometime can be a friendly game but on the other time it can be a very hungry game which will eat our money quickly.

Yes, because now this type of slot game really only takes a short time to become a popular type of gambling, especially in my country where all groups are involved in it, including children who are still minors, and I am sure that one of the reasons why this type of game is popular with people is because it is very easy to access and adapt to the various games provided by the casino in it, so this is like a combination of a type of game that is easy to understand with high hopes of multiplying the money they bring, but of course, no matter how high your hopes and beliefs are in gambling, it will not always be able to change the results at the end of the game.

Because risk will always be a part and will always lurk at all times, there are no significant results with just a little effort, gambling is an activity that depends on luck, meaning there is no element of consistency at all in terms of achieving results that match expectations. On the other hand, recently I also saw a news show where someone hanged himself from a tree on a plantation where it was found by a farmer, and from the results of the investigation it is suspected that the person was in debt because he lost around $ 20k in a type of slot game, very sad. That's why we always say everything that leads to prevention, gambling is not a place to change fate, this is nothing more than a playground when you are bored, understanding and awareness must always be prioritized for everything you find.
