This post is not meant to discourage anyone from playing. I’m just genuinely curious how other people feel about it, because even me, I’m still playing until now as a past time even though I already know the reality of the house edge.
You should know that you either need more money or you want to have fun hitting the bet button often many times making yourself feel good about it, you know you can't win enough for yourself and that keeping to your plan will eventually fail but you keep trying because humans operates with hope which keeps us alive.
There is no exact reason why you keep or stop playing slot other than fun and hope of winning.
