I’ve noticed that too.  Also I’ve noticed that the fruit machines in service stations over the past few weeks have looked really unused.  Maybe people are wising up.

I do believe casinos and any electronic gambling game is rigged, and I guess they have to be, but it just depends on your interpretation of the word I guess.  As far as I know, when you click spin a number is chosen from the RNG and that number is then used to lookup a win/loss in a table of pre-determined results.  That means that there are some combinations of reels that cannot appear on the screen, because only a finite amount of combinations are held in the table.  To me, that is the same as being rigged.  And when you play roulette, it is not picking one number, but 5 or 6 and then deciding which one to use depending on the outcome of the RNG, and that is not how ‘real’ roulette works, so again to me that seems rigged.

And I do believe that there is a way that a casino could give a streamer an unfair advantage if they wanted to.  Nothing is impossible.

It’s very hard to click that final step, I’ve never managed it either 🙂

Has anyone noticed that the reel king gamble on betvictor has changed?  I was playing on 20p and normally even on a very small win the gamble ladder goes up to around £100.  Now it seems to stop after about 6 steps so you could only gamble a 20p win up to about £6.40?

I would agree that it is the buzz rather than winning or losing that gives you the ‘hit’ of dopamine that our brain needs to quell the craving.  It’s the anticipation of the result rather than the actual result that we are addicted to.  That is why we are very rarely able to cash out because we need to keep playing just to see what’s going to happen in the next spin.

Time passes without me even noticing while I am gambling.   When reel king first came out on the arcade machines with £500 jackpot, I played it so much that when I went to bed at night I could still hear ‘ding ding ding ding…….<nothing>’ in my head even though I wasn’t even thinking about the machine!

Stick with it, they are just trying it on, hoping you give up and lose it all.  Work at it like a job, happy in the knowledge that there should be 500 notes for you at the end of the process 🙂
