Playing slot games, the same ones over and over again

[Pandorak]

I can clearly see signs of addiction in you. Because you are going to play the same slot on the same platform again and again. Honestly, this is a sign of addiction. When you play a slot game once in the beginning and come out of it, then the desire to play the slot game for the second time arises in your mind and you go there again and play the slot game.
Yes, you may not like playing it on the new platform and the slot game is at the top of your list of favorites and you like playing it that is why you are getting addicted to the same game again and again.
Yes, this is my case and I think it can be the case with other people too where people are addicted to a particular game and they keep coming back and playing the same game.

Playing the same game over and over again cannot yet be classified as a sign of addiction. We’re only looking at one aspect here. In this case, i’d like to compare the OP to someone who really loves a certain team, perhaps because he support that club, many of the players are from their home country, or for other reasons. So instead of betting on other teams, it’s better to place bets on the team he like, it all comes down to personal preference.

Unless, in this case, the OP says he the type of gambler who finds it hard to stop playing even after running out of money, keeps chasing losses and always feels restless when they don’t play slots for even a single day. Those are the real signs of a gambling addiction.

Of course, every gambler will love to play a game that gives them luck and make them win their bet. I don't know if this is true, that some persons have a particular game that matches with their spirit and fetches them profit. Playing random slot games is like, you don't know what you're looking for because there must be a particular one that you enjoy playing the most.

Matches their spirit? Rather looking at it that way, I’ll rather look at it like a game that they enjoy more or have more knowledge about, or have become accustomed with. You know when you play a game too often, even if the game isn’t the best, you’ll most likely fall in love with that game, and since that’s the game you spend most of time on, you’re most likely to see more profits there, than other games you bared spend time on.

There is a reason why slots are considerd to be one of the most addictive casino games, and you know why that is so. When you play a slot game, if you get hooked up because of the graphics, sounds, and also the usual outcomes of your bets, you will most probably continue playing that game whenever you decide to gamble, and there is no harm in that as well as long as you can keep yourself under control and just enjoy the experience instead of making it a way to make money because those who do so end up losing excessive amounts of money in slots.

Anyway, in my case, I don't really stick to a single slot game forever. I generally don't gamble that much, but when I do, I make sure that I try different games with the budget that I have for my activities because I easily get bored playing a single game for very long, and I also switch games when I feel like a game is completely draining my balance without giving me any proper wins, because even though I know it doesn't change anything, it just feels like some games are never going to give you anything and if you keep going, you will just end up exhausting your bankroll.

So, is it the same for you guys too ?
By the way, I play lightning-themed games from Pragmatic, and Mahjong-themed games from PG more often.

It's not just you, it happens to almost everyone. My favorite game is Aviator, so if I play any other casino game and don't get that familiar feeling after a while, I go back to Aviator.  When you get used to a familiar game, its interface and gameplay are already known, so there is no problem learning something new. Actually there is a saying ":Man is a slave to habit" and I believe this applies everywhere.

[DPHOR]

It is always good to try out new games but however the said gambler should be able to have experience on the game they are playing so that they would know what they are doing. There are people who loves jumping from games to game just to make sure they are being favored by that particular bet or having to fulfill their desire. While for me I do stick to those game that I know that I have more experience on it, thus, there are some gambling site that do involves demo so that before you would start playing the game you should be able to go through Demo of it before placing bet so that you wouldn't be that blaming the gambling site for extortion.

You're right when you said it happens to almost everyone, because I have seen a lot of people moving from casino to sport betting especially during international break, what most gamblers do during that break time is to try out few slot games to keep themselves entertained until the season start. Truth be told i use to do that most of the time during international break but mine is virtual sport but I stopped playing virtual sport ever since I heard that it has ruined the life of many gamblers so right now I only focus on sport betting.

Virtual game is more likely to be addictive than any other game out there, if you asked me I wouldn't encourage anyone out there to keep gambling on virtual game because it seems like the more you keep betting the more you continue losing since that results are almost instantly. This what also ruines the life of someone I know very well around my locality and the wife happened to divorced him due to his addictive nature and much engagement in gambling.

Personally, I rarely play new slot games, especially those frequently featured on the homepage (usually for promotional purposes by the site itself).

Sometimes, I just give it a try at first, but for some reason, I don't feel very comfortable with it after trying it out. Then, I went back to playing the same slot game, or the one I play often. Well, I feel like certain slot games have really grown on me, and I find them more entertaining, whether it is the visuals, the sound, or the luck involved. So, I am more drawn to the games I have been playing for a long time.

This also applies to my hangout friends, and their stories are just like mine. So, is it the same for you guys too ?

I think a lot of people gravitate to slots they have seen big wins on. They watch streamers get these big wins and think they will get 1 too from that slot, but the reality is big wins (1000x+) are rare but can happen on any slot at any time. You put the volume in on a game and eventually you will get a big hit.

If I personally play slots I like to check out new games and see how they perform. Older games like Gates of Olympus or Fruit Party are fun, but I've played them a ton. I like to see the new stuff.

Funnily enough, there are also people who think in the opposite way and they stick to a single slot game because they want to get their money back before even considering to move onto a different slot game on the same casino.
There are also people who experience a very good luck streak and pocket some money while playing on an specific slot, so they stick to that game indefinitely, even if they end up losing their money again, they have the hunch that is the slot game which will eventually make them rich.
That is rather a destructive mentality to hold in the long term, if you asked me..

It is common to feel an overwhelming sense of pride when playing a slot that led to a profitable payback. Which may cause one to stick with that specific slot even when it is no longer a profitable bet. Knowing a game does not influence whether it's going to be a good spin or a bad spin. Each spin stands alone. And it can be easy to fall into the trap of making spins because they are paying their previous losses back, or believing that a particular game will pay out if they play it repeatedly. For me personally, it's more beneficial to play different games for fun than to expect that one specific slot will pay me back my money.

On the other hand, sticking to one game permanently can cause boredom and deprive you of the joy of discovering new things.

Gamblers mostly have a go to game and they are having a lot of trust issues when the thought of moving to another game comes to them. Boredom might not happen because of the sounds and colours of the slots games but what can happen is frustration from not being able to recover the money lost.

Therefore, it is okay to look for other games and explore new things so as not to fall into a boring routine.

Often the sports bettor who excels in Soccer tries to move to Tennis and then makes fatally wrong bets. They often say that the reason behind doing this is because the first game was lacking in the bookie for that time and the second one was present. I therefore never suggest this, if you are expert in one stick to that. If games for that are lacking at the time, just take a break.

You can get used to the same slot since you already know how to play it, its features, volatility, and the mechanics of it. But, the knowledge should not impart the idea that you can foresee when the next good opportunity will appear. If the game has won, it is unlikely to do so again. But the bigger problem is that when you continue to play one slot just for a loss of money to make up for it, it can quickly become a chasing money loss scenario. I think players should pick the games that are entertaining and have a predetermined budget. Rather than believing that they will win off that specific slot in the long run.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

The area gambling seem more interesting is not far from the wining, playing slot where such occurred more often, must give you that great joy of continuing in running such slot, nevertheless same slot may be the most painful thing that has ever happened to fellow gambler who will deeply regret in engaging such slot, all of this are good provided the fun is achieved as well as winning that also sustain the continuous playing, though many will state that they are mainly focused on fun but not possible to only rely on fun , slot is very technical and critical for me gambling generally is matter of luck , knowledge and little smartness in making good decision when to stop and when to continue when wining or losses is occurring, trying new things and seen success is something to smile.

Some casinos have hundred of slots games offered for a play, that makes some gamblers play only those slots that they are used to, because gamblers are having a feeling of lots because of variety offered. When there are a lot of slot games, gamblers got confused and select only games they are familiar with. I do something like that when I am in a new country and trying to find food to eat. I dont try new, but buy only food which taste I know (I hope you get my analogy with slots).

[Cityhunter34]

That slot game you often play is the one you enjoy playing and that's why it gives you the desired fun you need at that moment. It's same with everyone. We have our favorite slot game or sport game we use for gambling.

I am a sportbet fan and I prefer betting on football matches. You wouldn't see me bet on horse race frequently, I can do it once in a while and move on because it's not my thing. Only gamble with the game you have idea on.

Exactly, that's the real truth about it, because a gambler must definitely have a particular game. Of course, it's the same with every gambler, because it's always good to have fun with other games, so I think it's not a new thing anymore.

I'm also a lover of sports betting, but sometimes I usually try as much as possible to get familiar and have fun with an amount that wouldn't affect me negatively if if the outcome doesn't work out for me, because that's just the right way to gamble responsibly.

Well, i do prefer varieties of games, i don’t just focus on a particular set but I don’t just switch up on every new game that comes onboard either. I’ve not really had a casino game that gave me better luck, they all seem the same to me, that’s probably why i’m no too focused on a particular one.

If you do have a particular set of games that gives you better luck whenever you play, it would be totally reasonable to enjoy them more than others.

Some of us are actually like that, if you are a gambler that plays slot games, all games must not interest you, you should have games that you like playing at all times.
I also have some slot games that interest me most, and even when their is a new game, I hardly stick to them even when I give them a trial.
I don't always like gambling on promotions because I feel is a game of influencers who make their own money as you use their own link to gamble.
Gambling on thesame game often , and on is not bad more especially if you are making profit.
You might not be familiar with every casino game, and abandoning the game that you already familiar with can stress you up, and make winning more difficult for you.

Another exciting experience in filling free time is the excitement of experiencing different games in betting. But the most important rule is to control your betting budget in such a way that it does not affect your daily expenses. Spending idle money is an assurance by itself and even though the results may not be as expected, it makes you feel better. This risk-controlling type of betting will eliminate bad losses that may be quite harmful.

The familiar always seems preferable. This applies not only to slots. Every gambler has a favorite gambling game. And if a person feels comfortable, then it is not necessary to always strive for something new. Habit is an important part of a normal psychological state, so choosing a "familiar environment" is quite natural for a person.

Exactly, when someone is use to a particular game they will definitely chose it over another unless maybe they tried something new and find out that the new one is better than the previous then they can decide to leave... But the mistake some people make sometimes is leaving something that is working for them to be doing something new even when it is not favoring them but in reality it is very hard for an individual to leave what has acustom them because human being are creature of habit.
