How many hours do you play in slots?

[tread93]

Does your last line work? Lol. I'd prefer walking to a malfunctioning machine to replacing a winner, the next spin could be another streak of loss meant for him. However, the best part of switching machines is the little break of strolling to the location. Sitting on screens for too long isn't great for players especially for the medical disadvantages it causes .

It hasn't worked for me, but i've heard of this working for people quite a few times actually and I don't remember if its an actual strategy or just something I picked up along the way. I think what that does though just sort of refreshes you especially if you're on a shit streak and getting no where. I don't think i'd every want to play on a malfunctioning machine if I can help it but if I can find a good machine that I like for some weird reason or notice somebody jsut got up on one after being there for a pretty long time who knows you could be the one to win the pick up their win when they gave up 3 feet from gold so to speak.

To find a malfunctioning machine is rare and winning on it depends on luck, as the house could check if the slot had issues. And casinos always state that "malfunction voids pays" which means the money won't be paid. So, the luck aspect of it is that they may end up finding out nothing wrong on the machine.

I was unaware of this malfunction scapegoat that the casinos can play if these machines are't working. I feel like that little code could be abused if the casinos ever wanted to make slots more in their favor, but that is just a gut feeling and the fact that I don't trust anyone basically haha. I don't think casinos would use or knowingly try to manipulate machines so that they never have to pay out but hey i'm sure some casino somewhere might have dabbled once or twice? Who knows...

Same here OP, I can as well play for hours and yeah it is worthy to mention that we enjoy because of that, as there are also spend hours of stressing themselves of how can they recover their previous losses. Some are simply addicted and they already numb without any emotions they are feeling in. It is only normal for us regular players for our eyes to hurt if we unexpectedly exceeded in our desired game time.

We even experienced this in our other screen time activities like playing video games, browsing the social media, and working online. If you think this is bothering anymore on your side, then obviously you will need to apply a strong restriction. For me, only a good sleep will ease the pain but I can also suggest having some eye coolers or eye drops. Lastly, you can try turning on the night light in your device setting in hopes of reducing the eye strain. Good luck to you @OP!

True. A good night of sleep is great for recovery of the body and specially the mind.

It's good to not make any rushed decisions after a big loss.

I think it's good to take some time out from those slots since they can be highly addictive.

For me, I sometimes play for hours and really enjoy the game, but there are times when my eyes start to hurt, especially when I’m watching with so much excitement. It feels like it’s not healthy anymore. What advice would you give to those who can relate to my experience?

It is correct that gambling affects a lot of excitement whether it is winning or losing. Both types whether winning or losing on gambling create excitement and it may turn into physical issues. It may affect me too much when I gamble and only for that reason do I often stop gambling. Even when I win in gambling it makes me addicted and I lose attraction of my daily offline tasks also along with my physical condition it may affect my mental condition too.

What make gamble a lot more interesting is when you are able to gamble responsibly without any addictive decisions. It's ok to play slot games for long period of time with the right motives, a lot of gamble plays to escape poverty or become rich overnight but they end up becoming poorer which is an evidence that responsible gambling is the only way to enjoy gambling.  While playing slot games you can reduce your stake to a minimum amout that can let you play without reasoning the loses you've encountered, sometimes gambler can uplift our mood swing and change our emotions,  but you have to understand that wining is not guaranteed.

I don't play slots often, but recently I won some free spins and I really enjoyed them. But I would never play slots more then 10 - 15 minutes as they start to bore me fast.

Sometimes in that time frame you as a player get the Necessary Enjoyment , it's better that you feel bored afterwards and not as much Attraction as Some do and that the desire is to Continue and continue as if there were no tomorrow, if you enjoy and Get what you want you leave Satisfied , really if everything worked like that there would be no case of Addiction ,  It doesn't bore me , I enjoy it too much, that's why the money I have available to play is very Limited.

I don’t spend loads of hours on the slots, to be fair. Most evenings after work I might put aside around £50 and have a bit of a spin, but it really depends on the mood and the day I’ve had. Sometimes I’m done in 20 minutes, other times I might carry on for the best part of an hour. For me it’s just a way to switch off and relax after a long day, nothing more serious than that.

What matters to me is where I play. I only ever use proper UK-licensed casinos the ones regulated by the Gambling Commission. At least you know your money’s safe, the games are fair, and if you’ve had enough, you can set limits or even take a break. There are loads of dodgy sites about, so I wouldn’t touch them. For me, it’s the peace of mind that makes the difference. Playing on trusted platforms means I can enjoy the entertainment without worrying about whether the site’s reliable or not.

So, not loads of time, not loads of money just a bit here and there on sites I know are legal and secure. That way it stays enjoyable rather than stressful.

Being in front of a screen for many hours isn't healthy for anyone's eyes, and regardless of what you're playing, it can cause problems. I like slots as well as you, and sometimes I spend more than an hour playing on them. However, if I have such a session, I'm avoiding playing for a day or two. Until now, I haven't faced any issues regarding my eyes.😎

Of course, better to play with time limit or we should not stare our monitor all of the time when playing.
What I used to do is to play slot and let it run for few hundred spins without watching it but I turned the sound on so I can hear the music which may notify me when there is good spin results.
Watching the slot spinning all of time make I feel bored too fast so that’s why it is better to let it run but monitoring it through the sound/music while we can do other things in our PC/phone.

The health implications involved at starring at a digital screen for too long is why I can't stay too long playing slots.
There may even be seizures caused by photosensitivity for players who may know or not know that this is a trigger for their convulsions.

In all, I think it is always best to play to a limited amount of resources rather than play without caution or care for longer hours than necessary.

Some comments i read made me really sad.

I cant believe how people can spend hours playing slots and worst of all, losing money, and if we dig more we can see most of that people cant afford the lose of that money.
For sure the mayority of them is gonna lie and said they play only for fun, but that is bullshit and we all know that.

DONT PLAY SLOTS PEOPLE.

I remember going out to the balcony and playing for hours with whiskey and a cigar three years ago.
I especially enjoyed it when I was drunk, winning or losing didn’t matter. If I did win, I would walk around happy for days.

As far as I remember, the skin under my eyes got worse from staring at the screen.

[TheUltraElite]

Most players end up spending hours behind slot machines. The casinos are also supplementing this by not including any clocks near the games floor, something that every player should be careful about when they are starting a game, keep your own watch running in front of you otherwise you will lose track of time.

I myself played them for a less than 1hour because of low budget but those who are going to casinos after they get their monthly salary will be getting wasted in a few hours at least.

Often casino floors are filled with zombie like slot players. Not a very healthy thing at all considering they are gulping down alcohol and fast food at the same time too.

Can’t imagine myself staring on slot games spinning for 3 hrs without getting headache or dizziness. 1hr is only my maximum playing time on this game or I use auto spin and leave it spinning without looking on my screen until it bonus or huge amount which notify me through sounds.

I can imagine the cozy feeling on playing this game while chilling at the balcony with beautiful view.

The mood will be very cool once you hit huge multiplier while chilling. Most of my win happened when I’m casually playing slot games.

I think to knowing how long it will last depends on the capital we have when playing, but what you said above is quite realistic and true. Although it's hidden, it's clearly visible on the faces of those who lose and have no other fresh funds to play with, just watching. But the situation is different if they have a few wins and still have a lot of money in their wallets, and they can spend hours there.

If you are gambling until your eyes hurt you are either really good at gambling, or really addicted.  What other sources of entertainment do you have in your life?

I can honestly say that I haven't played a single slot machine or even placed a bet in 2025.  Pretty wild considering how much I talk about gambling...  Have you tried gambling without risking real money to see if you still find it as entertaining? 

Perhaps you need something in your life to distract you if you have this much free time to gamble.  Have you thought about getting a pet or joining a sports league of some kind?

That's what he should be doing, looking for something to get busy. A hobby or something to do other than screen time, riding a bike for example is a good hobby for it sets him outside the house and get busy finding a spot to take pictures.

Too much exposure to phone or the desktop screen will only make him more addicted to games. It could dry the eyes and sure surely the tears will roll down without emotional reason.

Personally, I don't like slot machines very much because they are based on luck and game strategies are almost impossible to apply to them. That's why I shifted my focus to betting and poker, it's much more interesting to study and try strategies in them, especially to learn something from professionals or watch them play. Although I understand perfectly well that there are many players who don't even want to think about strategies and only see money that will make them rich in slots. I don't want to convince them otherwise, because everyone has their own game path.

I think I agree with you to some extent because this only happens to some individual not all, there are some that no matter how big or small the money they have while playing slot is, they will never go beyond what they have in mind that they will spend and even if they do it will only be a little and they will leave and this is called self disciplined and there are also gambler that will continue playing untill everything they have is exhausted in their pocket and some after exhausting what they have they will go as far as playing on credit which is irresponsible and lack of self discipline.

I've never experienced playing slots in physical casino, I mean not online like I usually play.
For online casino slots, it always depends on whether I reach the amount I want to withdraw . There's really no set time or hours playing slot from me.
I either stop when I'm satisfied or when my balance is gone. After all, you can't keep playing slots if you don't have any balance left. Right?
