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.
The thing that stands in my mind is walking around a supermarket after spunking all your wages in the slots, with just enough change left to buy milk and bread, and looking at all the ‘wonderful’ foods on the shelves that you can’t afford
1I 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.
3Miami Dice with a £4 or £6 jackpot (originally tokens but then got changed to cash thank god), Roller Coaster and Joker Poker were my favourite games. Joker Poker and Miami Dice had marked cards that would occasionally show up to help you win the gambles. Then when £500’s came out it was Reel King, Party Casino and Monopoly, and then onto the FOBT’s and roulette. God knows how much money I have put in over the years and how many of my relationships gambling ruined!
1Could be the head gasket? Use the dipstick to check the oil level and see if there is any froth on the dip stick, or under the oil cap.
Well done for telling your story, hope your debts are not too bad and that you can get it sorted. A lot of us have been there and know what it’s like. Gambling is the hardest addiction to break in my opinion.
1It’s very hard to click that final step, I’ve never managed it either 🙂
11Has 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!
