Last Spin Curse.... Have You Noticed This in Slots?

[lionheart78]

Have you noticed this “last spin curse” too? Do you think it’s pure coincidence, or is it one of those hidden tricks built into slot design to make sure the house always has the final word?

I have observed this one and it is frequent on Pragmatic Play slot games.  I do not think this is a pure coincidence; it looks like it was programmed like that, something like an "if-then" case scenario to trigger it, even some streamers are commenting about this last spin curse as normal or expected.

Then what about the first spin? I remember winning some decent wins in the last spin but I don't remember any considerable win from the first spin apart from free spin, does that mean first and last spin is useless?

It's just a coincidence and if a game is designed in that way then it is what we call as rigged and casino or game provider will lose their reputation if they follow such practices so you can consider it as just coincidence not intentional effort from anyone to make you lose more.

Isn't slots designed to have a random result? So technically it is not a coincidence from that perspective.  It is that these random results can be said to be pre-programmed, thus the reward from the result of the spin can't be said to be a coincidence.  Imagine drawing a piece of card from a massive choice on the board... having the result from this draw isn't a coincidence because it is already written on these decks of cards, just like the RNG in slots where the possible results are pre-programmed.

The chance of it happening may not be low and it may be happening most of the time you buy spins. Anyway, you shouldn't overthink it since there's nothing you can do about it anyway even if you complain to the casino. To be honest, I agree with others that it's like a curse where your last spin mostly miss and it's not just that what's happening because there's also a buy spin where most of the spin missed. What I did is I didn't pay it mind or just don't mind it and continue gambling.

If it’s a curse, then it’s probably just on your side, because not many of us have experienced that. Maybe you’re only playing a few bonus buys or spins, so you can really notice it when you’re unlucky. But if you’re gambling for hours, I think it becomes unnoticeable, and what you remember most is that high multiplier popping up but not connecting with a good tumble. That’s probably one of the factors that makes us come back again, chasing that huge payout we hope to finally hit.

Yeah, it's just a coincidence, I mean, I've heard and seen stories where they say that their last spins are usually lucky. And yes, it is not uncommon for gamblers to start thinking that their last spins are either lucky or unlucky if they keep experiencing one or the other.

What do you expects when you see a beginner having that repeated luck and a coincidence of event's it tend to mark a conclusion in their mind that is the way such games works, i mean if i can win repeatedly with my last spin i will definitely thinks that, casinos habe a configuration thaz favors last spin and a mechanism to keep me playing the games continuously thinking the winning can be repeated.

I’ve been doing bonus buys on slots for a while now, and there’s one thing I keep noticing, the last spin almost always misses. Definitely, not talking about “once in a while,” it feels like 9 out of 10 times it’s just a complete blank.

hmm... maybe it’s just bad RNG or I’m paying too much attention, but I can’t help wondering if it’s done on purpose. Ending a bonus on a loss could be a subtle way to keep players chasing the next win. It wouldn’t even break any rules as long as it’s still within the game’s payout settings.

Personally, I have also ever experienced the same thing as you, which is feeling that the last spin seems to always miss, but after a long experience in slot games, I think it is all about the RNG, and I believe that what we are actually doing is forcing ourself to stick with a particular slot game, because it is basically a game based on luck, and after I noticed, a slot game will have a structured pattern and seems like it will always give a good solution or connection when it is in a good RNG, that is what I felt during my long time playing. So, in the end, I feel that it is not the last spin curse, it is just bad luck or bad RNG as you said, and it is not a hidden trick.

[blomen]

as gamblers, we are already “looking for excuses” to continue gambling. even such simple coincidences make us feel like we have a valid reason to continue gambling. add to that the subtle touches of casinos and game providers, and this feeling only grows stronger.

i think it's more likely that these are just coincidences. after all, most hands in slot games come up empty, yielding no winnings. but no one creates a debate about the “curse of the 7th hand.” i think we think this way because these incidents clash with our own feelings.

Irresponsible gamers are known for their quick actions at not owning up responsibilities and condemning the casinos win or lose results. Slot is not an easily predictable game, and the casino acknowledge that, that is the reason they incentivize players with bonus to extend their gaming sessions, and aswell delay them to play further and lose more real funds.

There is no curse anywhere, a loosing streak should be identified without having some emotional outbursts on it, he is just expecting too much from the slot games and getting little or none. I agree with the other contributions that perhaps OP is just gambling for some few minutes and uses up his deposits and placing more priority on the last bet.

What about the first, second and all middle spins?

Did they loose also?

And are the casinos manipulating them too?

Correct, it might be that it's all about the RNG and nothing more. Maybe if it happens on the last spin then that is just a coincidence, but for sure as gamblers we have a lot of superstitious believes and we can equate everything to this psychology of near miss in the last spin.

So I wouldn't put too much emphasized on it, slot games are base purely on luck so maybe it just so happen that in the last spin, you hit that near miss. But there are no correlation whatsoever, it's just the timing on your side.

It's pure coincidence. For example, a few days ago, if I'm not mistaken, it was three days ago. I played and won 10 free spins. I lost 9. When I thought I would lose in the last round, I won. I kept playing until I won 10 spins again. I lost 9. When I thought I would lose again in the last round, I was very surprised to find myself winning again. I found it incredible. But I won 10 spins again, and this time I lost them all. I didn't buy a bonus, but I'm convinced that your case is just coincidence. In gambling, casinos don't need to manipulate anything because the casino always wins fairly.

[michellee]

Last spin in slots games does not work for me even if it's from bonus buy. So I don't take it seriously about the last spin and just wait for the game to end. If in the last spin don't give me a win, that will not be a problem. I can try again on the other days, and who knows, I can have my luck come.

I don't know if casinos use hidden tricks built into slot design, but I never think about that. Slot games are based on luck if we want to win. So without luck, we will not win but lose the money.

So that is why I never think much about playing slot games. Just use small money and spin the games

You are right in this observation because the experience I have playing slot is not different from yours. I have never won anything in the last spin as if it is programmed that way. I have even monitored the first 10 spins and it is always rare to see winning in that range as well so what I do is that for every session of gaming, I try to expect to win within 100 to 200 spins and if I don't see anything interesting within that range, I will likely close for the day.

I agree.
We shouldn't overthink about it, a curse or not. This is a normal programming and daily happening to most of us that if we're observing it.
And as what you have said, we can continue to do it if we still have some money left to buy some spins after our last spins are spent.

Last spin in slots games does not work for me even if it's from bonus buy. So I don't take it seriously about the last spin and just wait for the game to end. If in the last spin don't give me a win, that will not be a problem.

Just as you have said, we don't have to be problematic about it. Nothing to worry about and let it be spinned. Win or lose, there is no control on it and we have to accept the outcome.

[joniboini]

Sounds like an interesting topic to research. Has anyone documented it? While we need more than just 100 spins from 3-5 users to make accurate predictions, I think it's quite fun to do so (assuming you don't spend your money to calculate the data).

This makes me recall how gacha gamers like to collect pulls, data, and analyze it. It usually results in predicting soft pity, hard pity, distribution rate, etc. The data is easy to access since there are tons of players out there, though, so that's a challenge OP or anyone needs to solve.

Hi mate, can you ry to do a buy spin bonus on VIKING FORGE by pragmatic gaming, you will see a pattern on this game. 9th and 10th spin (last) are the most crucial for every buy you will do.
Try a 10 x buy bonus.

also do a 10 x buy bonus for the billionaire bonanza of Bgaming. This one is far better that sweet bonanza and you will notice this on that span.
x100 is very generous on this game and not just once sometimes it fall 4x at the same time.

This is for the bonus buys, and according to the OP, he had 10 free spins. So even with just 5 bonus buys, that’s already equivalent to 50 spins. From that, we can already see if the last spin really didn’t hit or how low its percentage is, even if that particular bonus buy still ended up profitable.

[Cointxz]

I play slot game recently then I read this thread right now. I do experience most of my big win on my last spin like 2 bonus buy out  of 10 bonus buy.

I’m experiencing dead spin on the first 9 spin then win big amount that gives me breakeven or profit on my last spin.

The other bonus buy result is randomly between the middle or first part of the 10 free spin. It’s always a random result for me depending on my game.

If it's a repeatedly occurring things, I suspect the casino made it fixed like that which can tell us that some of the games we play at times can be rigged without us knowing. Since these games uses random number model it's possible too but it should also be possible that it can flip at time and game more winning at the last round, it doesn't have to be losses always according to what OP said, the problem is that I have not observed it too well to agree fully with OP.

I don't know for sure or not, what is clear is that I am currently no longer doing activities in a slot game, the meaning if it is a curse I have felt something like that, yes, I used to like to gamble slot with a bonus system, But after I found out the bad game and I really didn't feel victory, but I won.

As far as I know the slot gambling is controlled by the 24 -hour operator, there is no pure victory there, the victory that is there is all gifts, of course there are those who won big and small, but it all did not escape from monitoring, that's how the slot gambling.

[junder]

I often encounter odd things like almost being awarded free spins in the final round. I believe this is a strategy to entice players to deposit money and gamble again. This isn't just me, but my friends have experienced it too. The final free spins tend to be inconsequential, with no winnings; they just pass me by, but I don't think much of it.
This isn't a curse, but rather a trick. In my observations from trying various casinos, this tends to always occur.
