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 🙂
It’s brave of you to tell some of your story and I can resonate with a lot of it. I have spunked a month’s wages on a Friday night/saturday in arcades playing the £500 machines when they had only just come out. Done the same with roulette in the bookies and then online. Of course, there are wins and I remember a few times when I have had a grand in cash just lying on my bed, taking photos of the winnings and sort of revelling in it but as you know we can never keep it. Simliar to what I do now with online casinos, getting the occasional big win and uploading them here. I won £10k on Book Of Dead last year but its all gone. I don’t know what the answer is because it is very hard to quit for people like us. I have been on the edge a few times but somehow managed to wait one more day and somehow I’ve managed to pull through but it does feel like it’s only a matter of time if we can’t stop completely.
21I’m sure near-misses used to be programmed but I think they are supposedly banned now. I also thought I heard someone say that on some machines there aren’t actually any bonus symbols on the reels, they only appear when the machine wants to give you a bonus or a tease
Watch the Louis Theroux documentary on Vegas gambling and try not to end up like the dude playing blackjack
That is an amazing hit. I won £2,800 once on £2 stake but £11k on 60p is completely mental. Hope you get paid, and if you do, try to realise that the chances of hitting that again are probably almost lottery winning odds!
Play some extra chilli on £1,£1.20, up to £2 stakes and get the price of the bonuses down so that you can come back and buy them cheaply with a low deposit
I don’t know if we want to lose but we certainly have trouble knowing when to stop, sometimes it’s impossible.
I use betvictor quite a lot and cash out through paypal. Usually I’m playing late at night/early hours and if I withdraw it will still be pending when I wake up but what I do is cancel it and then withdraw it again and it usually goes through within a couple of hours at most
