Not touched any gambling since Tome of Madness triggered me. To think that this game looks to be the one that’s made me quit lmao.

And Genie Jackpot lantern teases are still shit and should be removed.

With Tome of Madness, I get that the initial spin is random and it will set you a random amount that you win – that’s fine.

I just find it incredibly misleading that it gives the illusion that the wilds could go on the give the bonus, when in reality it’s going to place them in one of the squares that won’t make a win on a consistent basis. It’s makes out that there’s mulitple options during the run of the spin and it feels cheaty when you don’t get what should be a certain wild win.

The bonus of this triggering me is that it’s now 1st April and I’ve not touched a slot since and have no inkling to.

The loss on a monthly basis isn’t terrible as everything gets paid for first. But it’s built up for sure and I do think I could have money for a holiday, home improvements etc that’s now in the casino pocket.

It’s going to be odd for sure having my disposable income back!

I stupidly found a casino I hadn’t timed out from and played Reactoonz 2, £4 stake. I hit the bloody double Garga feature! It paid utter shite. Fuck slots.

I’ve made the choice to self-exclude for 5 years on all my accounts. I’m a boredom, binge gambler. What better time for a bordom binge than during lockdown? Losing about a grand since start of the year has kind of slapped me into the realisation that it’s not sustainable. The only saving grace is that the lost money has not hit me too hard financially and the majority of it was winnings from a previous session, but the feeling crap about it gone is all too real.

Back to trying to fill the void with books. I’ve got enough of them to read!

I had a long break and then came back and now I’m done for good. The problem is always wanting more. Hitting a bonus, it being medicore and then playing for another one that never comes so redeposit. I’m done for good now. I said in another thread, I tried chasing some losses with Blackjack and got utterly destroyed for the loss of about £600 – in about 2 minutes. Deleted all betting apps and don’t go on any of the websites. I’m not on Gamstop, but slots have just totally lost their appeal to me now and I’m not finding any cravings for it.

I’ve come to the realisation that I’m richer in money terms and time terms without it.

[robthemonk12 WANTED $15 Outlaw]

I started playing slots and tables again. Wish I hadn’t. Down about £700 today which made me self-exclude from all accounts. Had a go on Blackjack today and had some utterly disgusting hands go against me. Oddly, I’m still up over the past month, but the degen was real and my mindset scared me a little for the lack of appreciation of money.

It’s such a troll slot. I stopped playing where I had two implosions in a row, the first 3 gave me no win, fine I think as surely the others will match me with something. No. Not only do they not match, they go on the EXACT same toons as before.

Not rigged as such, but just massively trolly. I seem to recall them lowering the RTP a while back but I might of dreamt that.

It’s actually done me good in the past. But it’s few and far between.

Being 100k down is crazy to me. If anything the large stakes videos have made me want to stop gambling. I get annoyed if I go £10 down. To be 100k down is borderline unfathomable. That’s 4 years of me working my arse off to get to. Therein lies the problem. When Bandit’s 60, 70, 100k down, I can see why people get frustrated when he’s dinging Reel King risking a lot of money for potentially no payoff.

When I used to watch WWE and they’d always say ‘don’t try this at home’, what’s the first thing I did when I got round my mates? Swanton bombs off his sofa and Stone Cold Stunnering him haha. People will try to emulate what they can see and the best way to avoid it is it not watch the videos.

In a gambling forum where the main gambler does videos, I don’t see why there is this massive stigma about discussing the negatives as well as the positives of high stakes sessions.

In conclusion, I agree with some points the original poster has made but ultimately it comes down to the individuals choice. If you gamble too much, just do what I’ve done and self-exclude.

This game has ripped me a new one recently. I’ve managed to break the cycle and cut my losses on it. It’s so easy to get into a chasing mindset. I’ve hit the figure that I had as my absolute quit and now I’m done for a while again.

[robthemonk12 WANTED $15 Outlaw]

I quite like Genie Megaways. Probably my most successful slot. He can be a right twat though and whoever thinks it’s a good idea to tease him coming out of his wank lamp needs a lamp shoved up their arse.

So after saying I was going on another break I check my finances and they were okay for a £50 play. So I played Genie and got a nice win and then Reactoonz which I said I wasn’t going to do and got another nice win. Got up to £180 and decided to have a bash on some random slots. Got down to £140 and thought ‘cash out or a £100 balls to the wall feature buy’. Well, of course I went for a feature buy. Decided to give Book of Ra Megaways a bash as it has potential… potential to be an utter gash pile of steaming shit with shit inside of its shit. £100 feature buy (so £1.00 in reality). It paid… £5.40. I wasn’t even angry. It was that hysterical laughter at how rubbish it was haha. Back to not playing slots.

My word, this game is making me take an extended break again. I’m sure the game cheats – it’s like those film poker games where the lead has a good hand only to be done over by a cheated royal flush. It does everything possible to tilt and fuck with you and I’m done with this piece of shit.

[robthemonk12 WANTED $15 Outlaw]

Did similar today. Thought I’d have a bash as I’ve recently got back into slotting after a bit of a break. Looking through my earlier post of why I quit reinforces why I’m stopping again. I’m down £350 today because I chased fathead in Reactoonz and then got suckered into the megaways slots. I’ve stopped binge drinking as much as I used to so I have more disposable income, but it’s still gone wasted.
