Demo Mode: Risk free or just training ground?

[shinratensei_]

Your title is kinda weird, duh! Demo is a place for you to train how to play with slot for free(risk-free). Basically, what you have been asking already answered in your title. Apart from that your example is also showing how irrational is it. When someone played demo, then he win 10k, and is he stupid enough to think he can win the same when he do with real money?
If there's someone who was really doing it, he has to be called the dumbest gambler ever, which i believe it's never exist.

I also wanted to say exactly this, even if they think that they have won by playing these demo games first as a training ground, then they will not win when they play casino games with their money.
So I will also try to explain this in simple words here without going anywhere else that gambling always contains risk and here in demo games we learn the process when we play any new games, nothing else.

Anything Demo like demo gambling or trading is good as long as you don't let wins or win streaks in demo overwhelm you enough for you to think that you can pull off same moves on live accounts because that might be the start of your downfall. Imo, I think you really get better and get more experienced only when you have actual skin in the game. For instance, if you made a bad decision that you could've avoided, you really learn your lesson when you get punished for it.

I recently registered on one casino, but since I don't want to deposit yet, I just go and play on some games on demo mode. But it just hits me while using it, as I thought that this could be one way for casinos to sort of be like a training ground for gamblers?

What I mean of training is that it could be a sort of onboarding mechanism as it could give gamblers some sort of confidence specially if in the demo mode you did hit a good numbers and then it cross your mind that if this is real money then you could have a windfall if let's say the winning is like $10k?

Or it is really just for fun and for the experience of playing without real money and so there are no risk involved?

Others have already pointed out, there is no need for this question because demo accounts serve both purpose. There is no financial implications involved in using demo accounts, gamblers use that medium to familiarise themselves with games they are not used to. The major problem with using demo accounts is that it usually creates an illusion of control in the minds of gamblers who use them. Some of them believe that since they played and won with demo accounts, same outcome is expected in actual gambling that involves money. It is not the demo account that is the problem, but the gamblers who became overconfident after using it, forgetting that gambling is still unpredictable as always.

Playing without real money isn't a fun experience at all, in gambling when someone wins with real money then it's fun to play the games but if someone doesn't win any real money then there's no fun. Although, there might be some people who enjoy playing games in demo more but for most players the fun come when they do it with real money. I suggest to begin with $1-5 per week and only bet 1 cent as that's the best way to enjoy gambling without much capital loss.

Well, the demo's purpose is simply to satisfy curiosity, without taking the risk of losing money, to see how the game works and operates. It isn't a way to satisfy your gambling habits. They're a good way to avoid losing money, but we need to understand that the amounts you supposedly win or how often you win in demo modes, doesn't often line-up with the real thing. Don't let it fool you that it's going to be that easy in demo mode as well. In such cases, just like you mentioned, starting small ensures that the risk is minimum.

Yes, initially, demo mode gambling can be played as an educational subject to create a good idea or experience about gambling. But I think that the main excitement can be felt through real gambling. Since we know in advance that there is no possibility of losing money through demo mode gambling, there is no extra pressure on ourselves, we cannot concentrate too much on which decision is right and which is wrong, but in reality when we gamble, there is a lot of excitement in it, various thoughts keep running in our heads about what the result could be. More experience can be gained through real gambling than the experience that can be gained in demo mode gambling.

In fact, casinos let you play demo games so that you can get a feel for the game and whether you will enjoy playing it. Especially when a new slot game comes out, I try to play the demo game at least once.

But what you said that if this were a real money game, I could have won such a big amount doesn't really work for me. The excitement you talked about doesn't really feel like that to me because I know that I'm playing a demo game. I don't think anyone plays demo games for a long time. Because they are basically made so that we can test the game and enjoy how the game experience will be without investing our own money.

For that excitement, they formed these demo games to make you more vulnerable to the real game. The more excitement you get from the demo account, the more you think, "If this were real, I would earn a lot." However, since you are in a demo, it will trigger you to go for the real one, deposit money, and play the game to try your luck. But things don't go as well as in the demo game, and you may lose. Usually, it works on those who are very weak in decision making and emotionally weaker, they are easily haunted by this trick.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The winning rate is higher in demo games, the winning rate is lower in real accounts. So if you get overconfident and gamble with extra money after winning the demo game, then you are more likely to lose.

Just hearing this for the first time, I have always hear some people say that the winning on demo is just the same as on the real account because same settings that the demo game has is the same as with a real account, the on difference is just the real money involved on the real account, it's just like trading where demo have same predictions as real account.

From my personal experience, demo mode is really just for playing without real money and without any risk. Even though it’s only demo mode, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to win there. I’ve played demo mode many times and didn’t get any big wins at all. So don’t think that demo mode gives you a higher chance to hit big wins or is meant to make gamblers more curious and push them into betting with real money.

Well what I have found out about demo mode games in online casinos is that, it can never be compare to the fun and adrenaline rush you feel in the live mode. And there is no way you are going to be successful in tricking your Brian to believe otherwise. Your Brian is already hardwire to connect gambling at an online casino with a wager. We're there is no wager, it is no different from a Subway surf game.

They are like free tastes in the supermarkets from the food products they are selling and want us to try. And so, for me they're not training grounds and just an actual free taste so that we'd see on how these games are enjoying. But if someone thinks of it as it's an training ground, they're okay with that and no one is going to stop them from thinking that it's a training ground. In the end, to each their own whether it's a ground to be trained or not. But what matters there is that it's for free.

Had it occured to be a training ground for any player, what would they be preparing for? Staying conscious or going to beat the house. Demo mode is an example of mocking the actual casino, a way to show players what's like to play games with no money. The effects demo has on gamers are not to be compared to that of the thrills mingling with wagering actual money. Most players don't enjoy that mode, why? Because it's not enjoyable, and feels like no competition.

Whether it will be like training ground or free taste, it doesn't matter as you are not shelling out money from your pocket in this activity. But you can't call this yet as gambling as you are not risking any money here. You are just like practicing on how the game is being played, nothing more than that. Of course, whatever winnings you will get here is not the same in actual game.

Demo feature is good for new players, especially if he has no idea about the game. So all in all, this feature is still good as it can teach new gamblers without the need of actual person. As they know how this game works, they can easily switch to real money betting.

Yes, but it's the best option to learn the game and not Lose money I've learned to play while losing money, it's not nice to be learning and losing money at the same time You can't take advantage of anything It's happened to me that when I finish learning, I don't want to play anymore, but I've lost money , That's a disaster.

Demo mode could be that neither be a trap or just totally created for the sake of testing out the game. It would be just that depending on a certain person on how they would be ending up, whether they would be ending up on making up deposits specially they've seen that they grown their demo balance into something big or would be just totally stop on the moment that they've been busted. It will be that totally depending on a certain individual because our mindset and emotions are totally different because there are ones who are easily being hooked up into things on which they do believe that could be possible. We do know that demo games are just that good for trying out the game without risking  your real money. Whats the main issue on here is that these business do made out these demo for 2 purpose on which its for testing out and also entice people to make up a deposit.

Therefore, everything would be just that depending on how you would be making yourself do make out decisions because you wont be ending up busting up your money if you are just that being responsible into the actions that you are doing. Training ground? It could be because you are be able to test out different strategies on which you would be seeing to be working but we know on how reality works.

One reason why demos were established both for gambling and brokers is for the reason of using that opportunity to teach and educate gamblers how they could be able to play that game without risking real money to do it; it's both a training ground and another means to actually enjoy that which other which are using real money are enjoying without really risking money. In other words, we can just say it's a risk-free kind of entertainment.

The demo is where every gambler can take advantage of mastering any games of interest but from what I have gotten as an experience between the use of demo and that of real money gambling is that the fun and entertainment ain't felt same way, like you don't feel thrilled as you would do when going live with funds on any game. Maybe that's why lots of gamblers don't make use of the demo to pass time when they want to gamble but don't have the funds to.

[nara1892]

As you said and I also think that demo mode is nothing more than a training mode to adapt to the game before we start trying the real mode, I think one of the reasons why casinos provide demo mode is for gamblers who just want to try playing without involving risk and also to adapt to the game so that when you enter in the real mode then it is less likely for you to make mistakes because you already understand all the features.
Sometimes when I don't have any money I always turn my attention to the demo mode, it's quite effective.

I doubt for the mistakes to happened on actual game since all slot games doesn't have any decision making needed even on some games that let you choose chest for bonuses since all of them have predetermined results.

Demo mode just like what you said is meant for players to adapt on the game, check how the game looks like without risking money or to have fun in the casino if you don’t have bankroll and make you stay in the casino as much as possible.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

Demo plays are bait ! Playing demos will give you fun and excitement too, In demo there will be no limit,
All the funds you need are just there and you dont mind losing while you are enjoying bigwins.
Well it will make you try to gamble but the difference is your wallet has its limit and it can drain you fast unlke in demo.
You will not notice that  easy when you are playing in real!

It does matter that if it's like a free taste if you're describing you're not shelling out money. Because if it's not like a free taste then you'll have to pay for that just to have a glance of the game. And that's why it does matter because we spend no single penny with it. And that's right, it's not a gamble when you do demo modes. There are people who only like to do that and that's the real fun for them, no spending of money but they're able to play the games. Don't expect to win something out of it but only your emotional satisfaction because there is no money that's been put at risk.
