Are online slot games purely based on luck, or is there any skill involved?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Yes it is definitely possible to win gambling based on proper luck and experience. But no gambler can win from gambling alone, because gambling is designed in such a way that you lose more than you win. If a gambler enters a new state and does not follow the rules, he will eventually face the biggest loss. So gambling is about the most rules, and I believe that if you play according to the rules, you can win from gambling. But one should never enter into gambling with the intention of winning otherwise the person will surely fall into addiction.

You are wrong, though not generally, but you are wrong with most part of what you have said, for example, gambling and winning being about how the gambler is able to follow or obey rules is a misconception, following gambling rules have nothing to do with who wins in gambling who does not, especially when what we are talking about is luck based games like slot, casino games and so on.

Keeping to rule can either help a gambler save money; that is, they do not lose more than they can't afford to lose, and Secondly, following rules also can help the gambler be in good standing with the casino, so he or she does not get into any form of trouble with the casino.
But speaking of winning and losing, rules have no say here, luck is all that matters.

While selecting a high RTP and low volatile slot can increase the win chances, one should not fall into the illusion of control. Ultimately, the slot machine is meant to be entertainment, and its results are random; therefore, trying to find a perfect slot might not be a great long-term strategy.

While it's not advisable to completely ignore the numbers and the strategies as well, paying some significant attention on the time limit and the money you set a preparation before you commence playing makes one able to have a game that is enjoyable. all while not under any pressure or expecting too much. After all, gambling should be an enjoyable activity, not one that causes tension or worry. Walking away and not playing for so long is healthy enough as compared to consuming yourself into achieving big jackpot.

Of course, it’s all about luck, which is essentially random chance. There is no skill involved in depositing $50 and repeatedly hitting spin until you win. Every slot has a set percentage of winning, and if you’re lucky, you might hit the jackpot, but it’s not common. Based on my experience, no one can win every day unless they are extremely lucky. The question is, are there any slots with better chances of winning?

Actually, it depends on each player's preferences, but yes, a higher RTP for a beginner is better. For that purpose, I won't talk about specific online slots, but I believe I can help you find the right ones by following these simple tips:

Check the RTP: Well, it's a basic rule, slots with a higher RTP generally offer better long-term winning potential. I personally prefer games with RTPs of +95%.

Volatility: From my perspective, smaller wins with less risk are better for beginners and it's a good responsible gambling practice. So make sure to choose the one according to your risk preference.

Bonus Features: Slots with bonus features like free spins, multipliers, or bonus rounds can provide more opportunities to win. You know, it's up to you to find the right platform that responds to your expectations.

This is just my point of view, and I believe there are members on this forum who are more experienced than me and can add more details regarding this matter

There are no skills involved in casino games at all, some gamblers even try to use some betting systems like the martingale strategy to try make profit from slot games and other casino games but it's a 50/50 thing you might lose or win, gamble responsibly so you don't end up having regrets. When it comes to sports betting I can partially agree that a little bit of skill is involved but it doesn't work everytime, you can make use of analysis and predictions to minimize your losses

Of course, keeping rules will help you stop at the right time and only gamble with an amount of money that you can avoid to lose in order to limit your losses and gamble responsible. No rules on winning or making profit in gambling because Slot is strictly a luck base game and does not need any skill before you can hit the jackpot. Some people think that skill is needed to win big but they forget that winning is not by experience.

There are no skills involved in casino games at all, some gamblers even try to use some betting systems like the martingale strategy to try make profit from slot games and other casino games but it's a 50/50 thing you might lose or win, gamble responsibly so you don't end up having regrets. When it comes to sports betting I can partially agree that a little bit of skill is involved but it doesn't work everytime, you can make use of analysis and predictions to minimize your losses

A martingale strategy doesn't work in a slot game. I mean, the strategy isn't reliable at all, but when it comes to slots, you can't even apply it. Imagine you are starting your spins with $0.1 and you keep doubling the amount after each dead spin, after a few dead spins, you only get a small multiplier that doesn't even compensate you for what you have lost so far. That doesn't make any sense.

Martingale strategy is mostly used in games where there are fixed bets and fixed outcomes or odds such as Dice. If you keep doubling your bets, you know that if you get a win, you get double of what you are betting and all previous losses will be covered in that win. That is the basic mindset behind this strategy.

I wouldn't recommend using any strategies in gambling, by the way.

you are absolutely right, the martingale system is most often used in the dice game. And what can be said with confidence, it only gives the illusion of victory, since in the long run, dice will beat the player without a doubt, for some time it will be lucky, but later the system will fail. I will join you and also say that systems and strategies do not always work.

Slot machine is a game category which you have very little control over the game's settings. It's one of the most unprofitable gambling games, so definitely skills have nothing to do with slot machines. It's a game of luck and superstition, and also one of the easiest games to play, becoming one of the favorite gambling games among elder gamblers. It's really entertaining to play, because the themes are fun and when you win prizes it displays awesome graphics.

Probably that is the catching side of slots, as gamblers keep playing them quite frequently, despite the high rates of losses and complaints after the gambling session is ended. Personally I have some good memories with slots, especially as a newbie, fascinated by the possibilities of profit the game promises. Those were good times.

Absolutely right slot games are unprofitable to every gambler in the long run, you might get lucky with it once it twice but if you keep going back regularly you might end up losing a lot... even in land based casinos people lose a lot more than what they gain. I  have tried slot games a few times and I had to stop because I wasn't lucky with it at all, there are no strategies that can be used in this game, it's just based on luck and chance, even if you decide to play for entertainment you still need to be careful so it won't turn to an addiction

There is no online game that has 100% or even 80% of winning rate since the developers are expecting to impress the casino using their service to also make money. Everything is based on luck and we should always look for that because that is the only way we could make money from any form of gambling apart from bets that are based on skills for one to win. If we are always lucky then we can be making consistent profits everytime we make an attempt in gambling. Their are people are gambling effortlessly because they know the part how they can strategize to make some profits without going too far or going for some kind of bets that has higher risk than profit.

Well of course they don't have 100% or even 80% win rates because that would completely crupple and end an online casino.  Slots are the profitable agent for these casinos and they rely on to to be profitable to be able to be a successful casino.  For the gambler ypu need to understand that and just have fun when playing.  More like a lottery than a given profit engine for gamblers.

I am not a big fan of slot games and I do not get it when people say it is their favourite game to play. Slot games depends totally on luck because there is not skill anybody can use in a game that depends totally on luck for you to win. I have played slots games and I did not like the experience I had while playing. It is fun when you are winning but when you start losing then you will realize that playing it is not fun. Slot games are for people that just want to gamble between getting a choice of winning or losing instantly. The only way you can enjoy slot games is when you use small wager so it gives you more turns to try your luck again and become hopeful that things will be different each time that you play but still you lose because slots game are one of the hardest type of gambling to win.

I highly agree with you, using of strategies in gambling isn't going to give any hedge to gamblers. The ones who lose money in gambling because of their weak luck will end up losing even more money by using any kind of strategy. That's why I believe it's much better to follow your advice and not to use any strategy on online casino games, especially on those slot games.

But the goals is to get big win with high multiplier until succeed in getting jackpot or maxwin, this is the reason why gambler doesn't really care about consecutive losses and always plays even in the long term.
Realizing something when the mind and heart are filled with ambition will never be easy, they can't think about how much loss and also how much the disproportionate amount of victory is obtained, this is why gambler who likes slot games always increases the amount of betting capital to pursue all the desires of winning big.
On the other hand, victory can make someone more curious and try to achieve more victories, just like an addiction because they will only do whatever it is based on the desire of the heart to continue playing.
Luck is saving factor for gambler to be able to get refund of the money that has been lost but unfortunately no one is able to get lucky in row every time.
