Should I quit playing slots?

[Onyeeze]

There are no unique skills in slot games, slots are purely about luck. I think you misinterpreted what i typed, i told the OP that if he plays slots with the main intention of profit, then it's better to get out of slots, there are many bets that can use the main reason for profit, just like sports betting which requires strategy & a little analysis .

Well sport betting isn't exempted from from being a game of luck. All gambling games are based on luck, because if truly strategy and analysis is what guarantees wining, then gambling could also be seen as an occupation without anyone kicking against it. The reason they use the word Favourite to win a match or competition is because, there is still a possibility that the opponent could end up becoming the winner, but based on stats the favourite team might be on good form or during their last meeting they beat the opponent. Sports betting is my best gambling game, because it makes you think and make analysis, which might seem as though we are in charge or bear all the credits if paraventure we won the bet.

that is one of the things some people does not understand in gambling because every gambling website you know today does not have assurance and you participating in them and win is based on Opportunity that come for that moment so I know very well that gambling is all about opportunity but many people who owns a website to will tell you that when you gamble in their website definitely you will win thinking that is a website that guarantee a winning in any gambling website so I do pay my people who can move with me that website cannot make you to win a gambling it depends on your prediction because if you predict the same then website a and in website b you will win the same thing if the winning is for you and if losing is for you you will lose in both side

You explained it well, that's the real difference between sports betting and other types of betting, even though everything is based on luck, we don't deny that sports betting has something more there. Then, the level of addiction in sports betting is not like slot & live casino gambling which you can play at any time, sports betting has a certain time, for example La Liga, you have to wait until the weekend for the match to start.

Gambling as a whole is rigged, it doesn't matter what you play in the casino be it crash, slots or whatever it may be it is programmed to take your money, you can only get lucky but if you don't run away with your wins you are bound to lose it all...

Casinos offer house games, and those let you verify your bets and change the user seed. That kind of gambling isn't rigged because the casino can't predict or manipulate the outcome, but the house games have a house edge, which means a small percentage is in the side of the house for example. let's say you are playing with a friend coin flips of $100 for each bet, if your friend wins he gets $100 but if you win you get $99... that way in the long run of 1000 bets your friend will be with more profit even if both of you have the same chance to win, that's how casinos work on a provably fair way.

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.

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

I rarely see elk games blow up and probably would have rather taken a gamble with a Hacksaw or Pragmatic game. Hacksaw is high volatility but big potential while pragmatic usually give 25-50x minimum win in the bonus with a chance to blow up.

When playing slots you have to he basically in the mindset that the money you set aside for those slots is gone. Gamble smaller and have fun vs going for the big payday.

I think you are right many people do not understand gambling. They believe some websites promise they will win but that is not true. Gambling is about chance and luck. No website can guarantee a win. It depends on our own predictions and luck. Some website owners might say you will definitely win but that is not honest. Whether we win or lose depends on our own choices not website. If we make good choice we will win and if we make bad choice so definitely we will lose. It is good to remember that gambling is game of chance and there is no sure way to win.

Doesn't the casino in question display a house-edge for each game? If so, the choice is clear: don't play slots at all, but if you have to for some reason - choose the one with the lowest house-edge.
But if they don't provide the info on the HE, I'd steer clear of such games/casinos.

I am an experienced slot player and my advice to anyone who asks such a question is,yes absolutely you should stop.I don't know what is going on behind the scenes but surely all casinos and all slots have started paying less and the RTP is greatly manipulated in my opinion.The only games I suggest are skill ones like Poker as my top choice where you compete against other players and sport betting,everything else is not worth anymore.

In the world, it has long been impossible to trust promises, especially when it comes to money. A beautiful slogan is only part of a marketing campaign to attract even more people in order to make more profit, the rest of the gambling business is of little interest. I do not even know how naive you have to be to believe this expression that everyone wins, probably the player is very little familiar with the world of gambling to understand that this is not true. Of course, he will understand everything, but it will be too late and most likely he will lose his deposit. Also, I often observe how new players do not want to listen to anyone, but quickly go to place a bet, because they believe in their special luck and probably want to show everyone around how daring they are. However, it usually happens completely differently and in this case, of course, they will not tell everyone they know that they lost, but prefer to remain silent or not mention it.

it is programmed to take your money, you can only get lucky but if you don't run away with your wins you are bound to lose it all, and you might get trapped in that constant loop of winning and losing..

The main question is when to run out.. When you are lucky enough to win from a casino, you get too enthusiastic and you can lose control. That's when all the gambling problems begin. Because when someone has had winning experience, he would always look up to it and try to repeat it. Because he already knows that it is possible. It is this feeling of opportunity that ruins many gamblers because they cannot stop.

[famososMuertos]

The thing I have to tell you is that you should have a concrete understanding of any gambling game before you embark on it, because the major thing that made us to experience a lot of losses in gambling is due to lack of experience, I know quite well that gambling is a game of luck and fortunately you might be lucky enough to win a game unexpectedly,  so when you get loss of gambling know that gambling is all about risks,.

Experience does not work as an amulet to be a winner, and luck does not always make you a loser, yes! It can be read as contradictory but if there is bad luck, there is also good luck, right?, so, in other words it is known as variance.

Nice question because many gambler still don't know when they must stops from playing gambling. Everything will be change when you can win in gambling and you can forget your limitation as in that time, your greediness will be bigger and it is hard to stops yourself from playing gambling unless you have a strong control over yourself. If you can win in gambling, you should notice that is the best time to stops gambling before you lose your money if you decide to keeps playing gambling.

There is no guarantee you can win more money in gambling so you must understand that you can only hold and limit yourself from the lose. If you already lose the money after playing gambling for some time, that means you must stops immediately because the lose can be bigger and that will makes you in a hard situation without you can decide to stops playing gambling.

There are no guarantees in gambling at all. Even personal control over one's passions does not guarantee that a person will be able to stop in time and take away the winnings. Or at least leave with minor losses. The only thing that can be more or less relied on is the understanding that the game should be perceived as entertainment, and not a way to earn money, that it should not become a regular activity. A simpler attitude contributes to the fact that a person will not squander all the money in the casino.

When we know that there are no guarantee to win in gambling, we will not trying to playing gambling using too big money. We don't want to experience a lose in gambling and will always prevents the lose not to become bigger. Regarding quit from playing slot games or not will depends on us and how we thinks because if we don't find a fun anymore, that is the sign for us to quit from gambling for some time.

We must take a break from gambling to calm down our minds and not thinks about gambling. We don't have to waste our money to keeps playing gambling especially if we just lose our money. We have many things to do to distract us from gambling so we can avoids the big problem in gambling which is addicted to gambling. We control ourselves and not gambling control us so we must have strong self control that can hold ourselves from gambling.

Gambling has never ever make those assurance when it comes to winning or making profits on which you should really be that making yourself that sensible on the time or moment that you do find yourself dealing with it. If you do find out that slot games are already that making such stress and anxiety or something that do talks about emotions on which we know that this is something that would really be that too common
when it comes to this aspect. If you do find yourself having that kind of impulsive approach on things then you would really be definitely be facing up some problems later on.

Quitting on playing slots? It would really be that needing up that kind of consideration on the moment that you are really that not wanting on having those kind of emotion or feelings.
Slots are really indeed that entertaining and if you wont really be that making yourself having that kind of entertainment or enjoyment then you would really be that making
yourself that being impulsive on which it would really be never been good.

There’s no such thing as manipulated RTP since slot games software is being audited for their license before it can be distributed to the casino for use. RTP is programmed based on the declared RTP. A house edge of 4% which is an average on all slot since a slot RTP average range to 96% will surely give you a little bit disadvantage in long term but this can’t be feel immediately if you are just playing for few spins.

Slot games is very entertaining and you shouldn’t gamble casino games if you are aiming for +EV games since it doesn’t exist on any luck based game. Also not all people can win in poker so you might loss disastrously if you will match against other players with better skills.

[mirakal]

Short answer for the OP is: yes. You should stop playing slots.
The EV is negative, it will suck your money, your time and your life force.

This is the case with most of the gambling games. Specially the ones that are pure luck based. Not skill

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.

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.

Because there is no need to push ourselves to gamble in a game that we don't like if we know that we are not happy already. Otherwise, we are just making ourselves prey, which is not what we want to happen. In fact, we are gambling for fun (and money), but if we never find it enjoyable anymore, it is best to let go and find other games that we believe we are good at and that can give us pleasure, not stress and pressure. 

In the end, whether to stay or not, without luck, winning is impossible, especially in slot games. We aim not to win big, but at least we gamble without regret.

These arent your average games, they're engineered experiences. Although they're entertaining, if you're not wise about it theres a major risk involved. The deal is that these machines run on random numbers. Not miraculous formulas nor secret techniques. Its all about probability, not certainty. Feeling stressed or anxious? That comes naturally. These games are meant to set off those feelings and maintain your hooked state.

Now, if you discover yourself becoming carried away, back off. Its concerning self-awareness and self-control. Key is enjoyment, but it shouldnt cost your budget or peace of mind. Let us thus encourage sensible gaming, people. Set boundaries; be aware of psychological traps; and, when necessary, leave. A wise player is, after all, a happy player.

Experienced gamblers certainly have good control and control to stop when winning and also when losing, but if you think stopping gambling is difficult then you do not have discipline in gambling. At least, betting also cannot be done blindly without control and a target, because if you only bet blindly then you will still lose every time you bet.

Therefore, to have good self-control in gambling does not necessarily require you to be an experienced gambler first. Because after all, there are also many gamblers who have been in the gambling circle for a long time but  they also do not have good control. Thus, it is not surprising when we more often listen to their disappointment in losing in gambling.

That's right, and I'm sure that if someone forces themselves to get involved in a game that they don't really like, then I would say that most likely their goal is not to have fun but to try to make money from a different type of game. Basically, a gambler who comes with the intention and purpose of entertainment will definitely prioritize a game that they really like, or in other words, there will be no interest in choosing a type of game that they never like.

On the other hand, there is actually nothing that is possible to win, although I understand that the type of slot game is a game that does end in defeat more than victory, but nothing is impossible if luck comes at the right time, for me a big win is the second goal that is not too prioritized, because I understand that winning is not something to be pursued, especially in a type of game that is purely based on luck like this slot.

Your first mistake was playing ELK
Shitty provider with ass math model of 94 rtp slots that never pay
