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

[mindrust]

Depends on the angle I take. If I am playing to increase my chances to make more money, obviously I won’t care about any shiny graphics. I can even tolerate to play in a black&white font casino as long as the house edge rates are attractive enough.

If I am playing to pass the time and have fun. Then I don’t do math. I don’t care much about it as long as the house edge isn’t absurdly high. I care about more about experience if i am in that mood.

I think what I said applies pretty much everyone. We don’t always play to make money or play to have fun because we are not robots. Our mood changes and we do whatever it is makes more sense to us in that moment.

If we’re playing games that are based on luck, regardless of the house edge, it still won’t make a big difference. But when it comes to experience and satisfaction, that’s where you feel it. Like for me, I prefer playing slots over dice, and sometimes I even win on slots, so I have a good experience with them. Plus, I can choose from different types of games they offer, so it adds more excitement.

This kind of game is something we just have to enjoy. We choose based on preference, whatever entertains us and we shouldn’t stress too much about the small differences in house edge.

I am not sure that I am the only one sticking with old games because I still prefer playing hi-low games. I am well aware of the fact that slots are highly exciting due to its high end graphics and real like sound features but for no specific reason, I still hesitant to test it even I have got lots of free credits for slots from various promotions. One probable reason must be what I learned from this community.

Yeah, I remember that someone insisted here like not exploring new thing just because of freebies will save time and energy. I realized that handy and did practise that with my gambling habits. But for my gambling urge, I still play my old thing until getting bored. Usually gamblers will switch to new thing when getting bored but I opted to stop my gambling for the day.

When you focus on exploring new thing, I am sure that higher house edge kind of things are least bothered.

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 can tell you that most gamblers don't actually know this difference, they simply are riding with what is most popular and mostly played by other gamblers, slot games are extremely popular today, they are the modern games in gambling and we can't actually blame the gamblers who stopped playing games like dice, this includes myself any way..

Though I've always known that dice game always comes with a better house edge than slot games, i am still more interested in playing slot games most of the time because it's basically what is reigning, and honestly speaking, I do feel that winning doesn't matter which game the person is playing, a lucky gambler will win regardless of the game and the house edge of the game the person is playing, so this is not really about house edge for me, it's about being lucky, and about the game the gambler enjoys playing even if there is no win.

What I think is that you're forgetting the most important thing, which is that you can win much more on slots than on dice. EuroMillions has a house edge, so to speak, of 50%, and there are about 100 million people who play it every week. The possibility of winning big is what makes a game more exciting, and that's why people prefer to play slots rather than dice.

The bets we make, whether on slots or other types, certainly provide a unique sensation, whether it's satisfaction or disappointment. This occurs because there's money at stake. Without money, I don't think there would be any thrill. It's that thrill that makes betting exciting, especially when we win, which is naturally satisfying.

I agree with what you said. We should be able to enjoy the game no matter what. One of the realities of gambling is the thrill that can be experienced and enjoyed. Even if we lose, there's a feeling of frustration or disappointment.

There are still a lot of people who play dice. It’s not as trending as it used to be, but it never really goes away. It’s still one of the top choices, at least for me. As I’ve said before, I’m not a fan of slots but I love watching them. Anyway, the fact that slots became so popular just shows that many don’t care much about house edge or maybe it’s still too low for them to mind. For a dice player like me, having a lower house edge is of course better, even though it doesn’t determine whether I’ll win or not.

I wonder why you think no one plays dice anymore? I think this niche always has its fans. Perhaps other niches, like slots, have grown more in recent years and dice's share has indeed fallen, but the number of dice gamblers hasn't fallen - in fact, (my guess) it's actually grown.
I don’t know what most people think, but in my opinion, experience is the most important. If you are not interested in the game, you will not torture yourself even if the house has a lower edge there. For example, I don’t like slots and although I have accumulated a lot of free spins, I simply ignore them - too lazy to use them.

Both house edge and game experience truly matters a lot to become a successful gambler, because just the same way their chances of winning may be low on a slot game with a very low house edge, that's the same way if you lake experience on a slot game with high house edge, your chances of winning might also be very low, simply because you haven't learnt the strategy required to be successful on such game, except moments of luck when you might once in a while win after trying multiple lucks. So in a nutshell, both truly matters to become a successful gambler. But if I'm to choose just only one, I will go for "Game Experience". Because to be successful in a long term gambling, you need experience and a well articulated strategy.

[Jody.Drummer]

I'm not into either of them. I gamble with slots and just wait for luck to give me a win. I know the house has a bigger advantage, so they win more often. And I've been gambling for quite some time, but we know that slot gambling doesn't require any strategy, so the experience I've gained isn't a strategy for winning, but rather a matter of maintaining self-control.

I think it only depends on our goal, like if our goal is to try to earn a profit, then we can have more chance on low house edge games such as the Dice game on your example there. With that sentence, there are still other games which are equivalent to Dice in terms of 'low house edge'.

You know, games like Blackjack, Bacarat, Limbo, and Roulette (to name a few). It is sad but maybe you are right that the Dice players before have switch to modern games now like Slots, or only few still plays it sometimes. A proof to this is Dice sites like Primedice have now closed their business down. Some Dice sites have also added more games on their platform.

This is true, gamblers can actually have mixed feelings for gambling, it could be fun, making money, adrenaline rush, losses, and the thrill and the desire can feature all feelings  because we are not robots that can only be programmed for one specific purpose, but human can be more concerned about the profitable aspects but doesn't mean that every other aspects of it have been cancelled.

It's a thing of mindset for most gamblers,it's the experience for most gamblers but fun driven gamblers are after the overall gambling experience while skilled gamblers care about the house edge.It's valid to say that gamblers chase feelings not profits but the overall experience, excitement and social fun can be more rewarding than thinking about the house edge.
