What’s more important for you, house edge or game experience? (dice vs slots)

[Russlenat]

Slots are super popular even if the house edge is around 3.5%, while old dice games before had something crazy low like 0.5% but nobody plays them now, or maybe just a few. So it makes me wonder, do gamblers really care about the numbers, or deep down the experience matters more?

I'm curious what you guys think.

I do not think most gamblers know what house edge is, all they care about is reputable or trustworthy gambling sites. The second thing they care more about is the game that they enjoy playing. In fact I am also very sure that most gamblers do not check if a game is being manipulated or not but just few gamblers care about that and which can let other people know that a site is having good reputation or not having good reputation. What people care about is reputation and not things like house edge, RPT and some other things.

I think it’s the experience that really matters. Dice games feel outdated already, so it’s like a product on discount, even if it’s cheaper, people won’t buy it if they don’t find it useful anymore. That’s why for me, I prefer slots over dice now.

And casinos are smart. They present it as RTP instead of house edge because wordings like that sound more friendly to gamblers. But either way, both still have a house edge. The small difference doesn’t really give you any real value since at the end of the day, it’s all just winnable by luck.

Hose edge or no house edge, it doesn't matter anymore in gambling. What is important to me in gambling is understanding the basic rules and abiding to them. Neither game experience or house edge can change the outcome of a dice/slot game. Luck is the ultimate, in regards to hierarchy while gambling. If we are lucky enough we will win. While we do, we should also be contented with it.

Maybe gamblers trust their experience more that they care less for house edge or the advantage the casino has over them. Some have this experience backed up with skills, skills that they have built up from over the years the experience was being gathered. To gamblers like that, they only start becoming interested in the house edge after they have lost to the casino for a number of times that it becomes concerning to them and they start doubting their skills and experience. The gamblers who will consider house edge first before their experience are;
Gamblers who have had the experience of trusting their experience skills so much before that it cost them and they learned from it, Or gamblers who do not trust their skills enough first that they doubt themselves.

I understand what you mean bros @Russlenat. Gambling today is truly unique, with all the concepts it offers. Before many new concepts emerged, gamblers focused solely on profit. However, with the growth of the industry, some players are playing for fun, putting profit aside. I personally don't really care about profit, I prefer to have fun with the gaming experience I get.

If you are talking only about casino games like those you mention, then I would say experience does not matter, since those games (unlike sport betting) do not reward the gambler if they happen to have accumulated hours or days of continuous playtime on them.
Those house edges probably have more to do with the casino trying to stay competitive in a market which demands low edge dice games, while slots can afford to get more money in the long term from gamblers.

If you are talking about a different kind of experience, then I apologize, because I may have not understood your point with this thread.

It depends on the game or match. In the past, there are fighting competition that people can bet on someone to be the winner, or horse racing. But if someone do not want to become a broke person or to become a rich man that become broke, responsible gambling is still advisable.

In the past, we have read about the stories of well successful men that start to bet and died poor. In the past, many people are also very wise and know how they should treat gambling.

Gambling today has become something else. If not taking for fun, it would be a potential means to lose money. Some people started to gamble to earn money, but gambling teach them very well what gambling is and they stop the stupidity.

I agree with this. I don't bother to know what house edge/rtp I am playing at or whether results are manipulated. I'd just go to game itself and just play. Though, in my defense, I'd say, I don't care much because amounts I game with are little.

[palle11]

I know that every business has a way that it benefit to make profit and I don't really put my interest there so far I get a fair bargain or treatment. So house edge is always there but it is not for me to begin calculate all that and the different house edge for different games. What I concentrate on is the best game for my own edge  I need my own edge on a game so that I have more chances of winning. That's I play games that I under with higher chances of winning. Winning should be the focus and also knowing that if you win that you will get your withdrawal to your wallet, trust on the casino is important.

The feeling of fun might be something that will change someone's perspective, in dice there aren't too many interesting things, we just throw the dice and look for the results, but when playing slots with various types and also characters it makes it like a playground, like I went to the night market, and there are lots of games that I can choose with unique and different appearances, dice are too old-fashioned for now, I think that's what most people think. However, if there were a lot of innovations in the dice game system and had interesting screening, it might give a different impression.

Is this on online gambling site or physical casino, if its on casino, I'm not sure but I prefer to play slots there for utmost reason of convenience and refreshments. Maybe Im one of those users who don't normally based on house edge %. But I'll be glad to know if casino on our country has it and got a good play and fair reference.

[maydna]

Gamblers will only care about the number of their winning. They don't think about the house edge or others and only want to win. But I think experience is more important than house edge. I know about the house edge but I don't try to beat the casino because that is difficult.

We may gain so many experiences from playing gambling and it is useful to us to learn from them. Let the house edge be there and not try to gamble more so we can prevent losing more.

Gamblers think about how they can win so they will focus on the games. But wise gamblers will not chase the win because they know that can give more losses.

I play the shit out of dice or dice variants such as limbo, but in the longrun what I play depends on what my bankroll is looking like. If I have $100 I am going to play dice/limbo and try to double the banroll. Then I can wd the $100 and use the $100 left to play slots on. 0 risk to me if I manage to profit on the dice 1st and huge upside if the slots are hitting for me.

If we talk about simple Dice, then it's not difficult to assume that it's just boring compared to slots. There is also Dice Poker, which is a more interesting gambling game, but also not very popular. Nevertheless, slots are more attractive. Another aspect is that not everyone thinks about the numbers of House Advantage, especially since they see RTP in slots ("It's almost 100% return," he thinks).

The experience definitely. If it were up to the House Edge, no one would bet because in the long run you will lose. It's true that with a lower HE you'll tend to have fewer losing sessions and more winning ones, but the total sum will be a loss. That's why people tend to prefer slots, because despite a higher RTP, they are programmed to be more exciting and more engaging.

As an experienced gambler I can definitely tell that they serve a different purpose as dice has been exploited in the good meaning of the word as people including me use that dice 98% win strategy combined with the low house edge to get a lot of wagering done and increase our VIP levels to get better benefits. The slot machines serves a completely different purpose as they are used by gamblers to chase that max win and they are the most profitable game, the one that makes most of the profit for any casino and I would definitely stay away from them unless you are using money you can afford to lose, as they can drain your balance the fastest way.

Exactly because understanding is the most important in gambling, that's what we need to look out all the time since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome.

Honestly, there are just few things we need to put in consideration when gambling, most times we lose because we are not gambling with we are contented with which is the main key we need to navigating the industry without losing much.

[Cryptomultiplier]

The house edge to a gambler should be played for long term playing time and requires using a fixed budget. While game experience is and should be indulged in when a gambler aims to have emotional satisfaction and pure adrenaline from the entertainment that gambling offers.

It is now left for a gambler to decide which they intend to focus on because while one helps you manage your portfolio, the other let's you spend enough for fun and waste your time in the process.

I could recommend that a gambler who aims to gamble responsibly should focus more on the house edge which the gambling platform is offering because, that would help such a gambler be more risk management conscious and maximize both their time and money effectively.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Game experience is much more important to me, playing my favourite game on any trusted casino is something I have been doing since I started playing slots, it was after I joined the forum that I got to know more about the gambling terms I didn't know before like the house edge which still is not much of a concern for me. I just like playing my favorite games and I have fun playing and winning some rounds too.
