Turning off sounds while playing slot games

[Smartprofit]

I also often mute the sound when playing slots. 🪇

At the same time, sounds don't irritate me while I'm playing. I'm a lifelong minimalist and try to eliminate unnecessary distractions in all my tasks and focus on what matters most. The most important thing for me in gambling is the bet itself and the end result (win or lose). That's what's important to me. That's what I focus on.

Nevertheless, I agree with those forum members who write that sound during slot machines is a reason for the game being addictive. I hadn't thought about this before, but it's probably true. After all, it's well known that people are very attracted to loud sounds and bright, dynamic images. Moreover, if several senses are strongly stimulated simultaneously (for example, hearing and vision), a person can enter a trance-like state. And in this state, a person can follow any commands from the manipulator.  So, we can only be glad that online casinos don't stimulate our senses of taste, touch, and smell (in addition to sight and hearing). Perhaps in the future, computers will learn to transmit such sensations over long distances. Then, it will definitely be very difficult to tear yourself away from playing slots!😀

Muting the sound is a good way to not get carried away with it.

It is designed to get your attention, so its good to just disengage

It might become boring, but that might be a good thing

I also enjoy myself when the sound is on because it makes it more fun for me to listen. Honestly, I don't think I can play slots games without keeping the sound on, it doesn't make any sense to me because most times I would just decide to gamble just enjoy the experience.

But I always try as much as possible to gamble with an amount that wouldn't affect me after the final outcome because that's the real deal in gambling.

Because playing slots without the sound of the game is like losing the thrill of gambling, in my opinion. I feel the same way in the gambling games I play, sometimes I just want to feel the thrill & atmosphere, especially in slots. This can help me think more optimally about determining bet sizes & limiting myself if my losses, not just losses but also wins, can cause me to lose control & lose the ability to enjoy my winnings.

I feel the same way. Sometimes I play without the sound on, especially when I'm around friends who don't gamble. You're right, the game becomes less exciting. Even though the gameplay plays well, I don't get the same thrill as when gambling with sound.

I think the sound of the game is like a chemical that enlivens the gambling atmosphere, making the excitement truly palpable. Sometimes I often feel sleepy when gambling without the sound effects.

Sounds always enhanced the experience of any activity that involves entertainment including gambling. Same on watching movies, socializing with friends on parties and many more. It gives more life to the game you are playing especially on gambling that your attention is focused due to the money risk involved.

Same as you, the only time I turn off sounds is when I’m with someone that doesn’t gamble since the sounds might be disturbing to them especially the “big win” words that often being sounds when you hit a decent win.

I do this sometimes when I try to sneak in some slot play while my wife is already sleeping beside me. I have no choice but to turn off the sound so she won’t notice. But on a normal day, I don’t turn it off because the sound is part of the entertainment. You watch, you listen, and even if you lose, at least you felt something. And turning off the sound doesn’t change the outcome anyway, I still lose.

well said, I wonder why people turn off the sound and say it is more enjoyable,.it's like watching a TV show but looking at only the visuals with no sound, it is almost useless to actually watch it like that...But in your case as you mentioned it is only sensible to turn it off to maintain privacy at that moment or in order not to disturb anybody...people that think turning it off can change the outcome are just being delusional

What is the joy of playing games when you don't hear the sound of the game. The game will not be fun to play when you don't listen to the game and that can make it very boring to play. I like playing games using ear pod because that will give me a different feeling than putting it on a loud speaker where people around me can listen to the sound of the game.

Yeah, it is a very common thing

You definitely want to have the sound on when there is a game on

Its the same for gambling

[Astvile]

I really hate the sounds on slots machines, Its almost the same for every slot you get to see. The only time that I hear what a certain slot sounds is whenever I watch some gambling content creators. I don't find the sound enjoying as others does the visual effect alone is enjoyable and turning on the sounds irritates my ear and I don't know why. Everytime that I gamble I often just stream if with my friends and talk to them or go play some games while letting the slot spin.

[Yamifoud]

Sound can distract you, but it also adds to the entertainment value. But the question is, what matters to us the most? For me I'll go gambling while music is on since I just want to enjoy it. Sometimes, I've been listening to music.

Until then, we can't argue about whether turning off is beneficial or not. What I see is that we do what is necessary for us that helps us gamble comfortably. I believe that matters the most because we only rely on luck. And neither blame the music for our losses nor even be thankful because you win.

[Outhue]

If the sounds from slots games are made to distract players why use annoying sounds? I don't get it, some people said that they sounds annoys them while others says the sound are distracting, and they are both right but not all slots games have bad sounds, some are very good to listen to.

I don't find them distracting that much unless I am in a certain mood where I don't want to listen to any sound, there is also no calculations available in slots games, if casinos can just up their games and introduce better soundtrack for their slots games I will forever become a fan, I have no problem getting carried away because of that, it is part of the fun that we seeks.

[YOSHIE]

Anyone has tried this method though? Or this is not at trick that is going to work in the long run as visuals is still the main attraction?

Yes, sometimes gambling often looks strange, what looks strange is not the game itself but the use itself, but we understand that people have different tastes.

Some people think slots are fun, yes that makes sense, maybe that's their motivation to be enthusiastic about betting and some people think slot users are annoying, we as human beings naturally have different views, the point is one gambles and wants to win.

The point is, whatever consequences you feel when carrying out gambling activities, each of us has different feelings and pleasures, that is normal and remains the same goal.

[TopTort777]

I dont get why people should gamble with sound off. Sound is the part of entertainment, so it must be turned on. Some believe that game sounds makes gamblers play more, continue, return, cause addiction, as if they hypnotize. But I dont believe in that voodoo stuff. I think gambles only memorize jingles. If sound was really that important and dangerous, all of us would be victims of tv ads and buy everything that is advertised on TV.

Recently, I'm trying to experience something, it might not be new, but I decided to turn off the sounds or audio of the slot games that I played. Because we all know that sounds are own cue to create excitement as every spin can give us that emotional influences, like near-miss beeps or those big multiplier jingles.

Anyone has tried this method though? Or this is not at trick that is going to work in the long run as visuals is still the main attraction?

As my reason is: When the “reward sounds” disappear, the urge to keep playing decreases and maybe it will feel less addictive.

I did. Some sounds on slots, actually, I think, most of them, are annoying and listening to them spoils the experience. But some , sounds, on the other hand, are okay, or then even more than just okay, I like them so much that I make them louder. Also, what I've noticed is that if I don't the sound of slot, I don't like the whole slot overall, so, in most cases there's no need to turn the annoying sounds off - I just stop playing the slot.

I understand that feeling. I have also seen someone who, even if they are in a noisy place that won't allow them to enjoy the sound of the slot game they are playing, will use their personal wireless headphones and connect to their device before continuing to play. That way, you won't be disturbing those near you with the sound of the game.

A lot of things that are associated with the sounds and effects in a slot machine have something to do with its attractiveness to continue gambling. I'm curious about how researchers will study this, as it could help us understand who we are as a people who gamble and how it could affect our gambling.

Right now, this should be on a case-by-case basis for people because it might be different for you and for me. I like to have no sounds in my gambling journey, but sometimes I want that stimulation. It's more of a feeling type of thing.

I think what Interests us the most and attracts us towards gambling is what we can get from it and by that I'm talking about profit..to.me I just sounds are just normal and part of the game but some gamblers think that it has something to do glued they are to gambling. The only reasoning I turn off the sound is because I don't want it to be a distraction to others asides from that, sounds make it fun

There's a reason slot machines have sounds. Moreover, these sounds are specifically selected to stimulate the player. These sounds have a profound effect on the human subconscious.

Anyone has tried this method though? Or this is not at trick that is going to work in the long run as visuals is still the main attraction?

Yes, I tried turning off the sound, or rather, turning on third-party music, and, indeed, the perception of the game changes.

As my reason is: When the “reward sounds” disappear, the urge to keep playing decreases and maybe it will feel less addictive.

Of course, without these sounds, the game becomes a bit "empty" and less engaging. That is, without sound, it's easier to control the gameplay and play more deliberately, rather than being emotionally stimulated by the sounds of the slot machine.

Lol, but it's very obvious, it's the very definition of gambling, taking a risk and then see if we can win and take profit. But there are a lot of visual and audio cues in slots, like it really evolved that the visual or UI is really good that we are attracted to it.

So in the audio or sound, there could be others practicing turning it off so that they won't have that feeling of depositing more money once they've lost. It's like those audio are like a magnet attracting us to the game and we won't stop till we get the bonus round or won big.

I think the sounds are part of the game and is supposed to put you into the gambling environment.
Without it, you are not really playing it the way it was meant to be played.

But it can become annoying after a lot of playing.

So maybe I turn it off after a while is the only answer I can give. But yes, it is designed to be addictive.

The sounds from the games we play add to the thrill, even though they're short and repetitive, but they add to the excitement of gambling. Some people may prefer to turn them off, but I think listening to music while playing can be even more exciting, especially if the music we listen to indirectly evokes a different reaction, such as excitement.
Yes, we have our own preferences for our own comfort with gambling, but clearly, turning them off or not has no impact on the gameplay, so it's up to us to choose how we like it.
