Wow. This video was very informative. Whenever I happen to be at a casino, I spend my time just sitting and observing people and their interactions with the machine. It's a depressing place to be otherwise.

The best gambling strategy is: (1) Before you enter, decide how much money you are going to gamble with. (2) It needs to be an amount of money that you could lose without impacting your finances. (3) Stick to that amount of money. Do not gamble after all your money has been lost. If you happen to win something, great; if you don't... oh well... is over... leave the casino. Don't come back for at least a month.

Exactly. I once went with 400$ once was breaking even for about 30mins and the next 1hr 30mins I spent ate up like 340$. No matter which machine I touched it ate up like 20-30$ in like 5-10mins. I try another same thing happened. Guess it wasn't my night and felt like shit b/c it was very unfun to say I went through that much and hit nothing, but dog shit. Since then I haven't been gambling 1-2 and only took 100-200$ and nothing more. Somewhat breaking almost even or leaving with 20$ extra.

I have a gambling problem. The problem is that I suck at gambling. I tried it a few times, some years ago, lost a little money, and just quit. On the other hand, I took all that money I might have spent gambling, invested that money through the years, and retired early, which was a gamble on whether I'd have a future or not. Fortunately, I won the gamble and am living a great life, steak and beer whenever I please, sorry casinos, I had other plans for my money and my life.

Slot machines have a volume control, but the default is the loudest -- some people will turn the volume down, but many don't. The decibel level gets so loud that you can't think straight or concentrate on if you want to continue spinning or not.

Some interesting parallels can be made to modern computergames and how they introduces the same tactics. As well as mobile apps. I'm going to buy her book, sounds really interesting.

Like David said "The space in between the icons for the 3 reels".... Which is why I when I go gambling I never play them b/c after 3-5 spins and getting jack shit. Only then finally landing on icons that match, but find out one of them is not fully aligned and screw you out of winning anything at all even more. Even in the event of when I do go in a very rare blue moon. I only be there for 2-3hrs and feel like I been there all day. Also when she talks about winning with the sounds when in fact you don't win shit. I fell for it as well thinking I hit something only to see I only got like .60c of my dollar. They either don't hit or they hit, win, and gain, eats it and repeats or they nickle n dime you give you a bit back then trickle down effect nickle n dime you that little gain. I use to work at a casino and when they renovated they made the carpets there curved as well.

Depending on what games you're thinking about. If you're thinking of video-games with actual content, then most people are pulled into them for the same reason you're pulled into a movie for two hours: because you want to see what happens next, etc. (Obviously, the interactivity also plays a part in games. It can be quite challenging and satisfying.) If you're thinking of cow-clickers and such (angry birds, etc), then maybe you're into something. I've personally never thought enough about that to have something to say. However, keep in mind that people can get themselves addicted to just about anything. But people get addicted when they push themselves into something that distracts them from a problem they don't want to face, or when they want to fill a void inside them.

Well there are people who died from just about anything... Like I said, people can get addicted to nearly everything. Even TV. But that happens when they already have their lives disrupted in some way. That's true for casino games as well. People push themselves into addictions. The question we should really be asking here is who is actually exploiting people's vulnerabilities to leach them out of their money? With video games it depends on the business model and the nature of the game. With the standard business model (where you pay a fixed sum and that's it) they aren't made to addict you, they just want you to buy them. They want to make the game captivating so that you enjoy and tell others about it, and possibly buy a sequel, but they don't get any richer from you playing it 24/7. And not only you didn't spend too much money, you'll probably also not feel like you just threw it in the gutter. Pay-to-win business models, on the other hand, are exploitative, and that makes many (if not most) browser games and such. One thing to note is that many of them are shallow games. Casino games are as shallow and generic as can be, they are repetitive and very quick to end, they don't present you with any challenges, and the decisive factor for whether you win or lose is luck (never merit). Whatever merit you have during a match is just a facade that gives you a false sense of satisfaction/accomplishment. In reality you might as well be betting on dice rolls, but you get fooled into thinking you aren't. On top of that there's all the points David and the lady in the video brought up. If we're trying to determine who is exploiting people, that's what we have to focus on. If we're trying to determine why people get addicted, then we have to look at their lives, not at their addictions (that doesn't exclude physically addicting drugs).

In some or many cases it may not be. Though some of the business models are quite propitious to cons. I think that would be a good thing to look deeper into.

Living in Vegas in the 80s I saw the change. My brother is "lucky." That, in his case is a real thing. We could go places and he would win much more than normal. They have changed payouts now and that, being lucky, is not possible for him now. A big change was "accumulator" machines. Instead of paying out coins after every roll the machine just accumulated the winnings. This increased the frequency or amount of play on a machine. The casino can also change the payout on a machine, looser or tighter. With mechanical machine this was a physical adjustment. Electronic machines can be done from a control room.

Tips for a good interview: put your phone right next to the microphone and refuse to mute it no matter how many times it chimes.

I have never been in a casino and never hope to enter one. Hand and Foot, a type of Canasta, is exciting enough for me.

I try not to go and stay out and away but it's HARD AT TIMES NOW, I hear what she's saying but she's talking psychologically the mind and I guess that's where it starts.🙏🏾

The problem with these people who write about how casinos prey on you psychologically with the casino environment is: they never give you info on what you really want to know -- do the casinos rig and manipulate the return to player percentage of the slot machines? do they alter them for different occasions like holidays or when they have big free play promotions? do the casinos control how much you can win through the players card? That's what is most important to know because that is at the heart of how they make money from the slots. Don't waste our time with the other aspects.

Follow basic rules. Nothing wrong to like playing slots, but take playing slots as a fun not a way to make money. Leave your cards at home or in the car. Make rule to play 2-3 hrs and then go. If you win any big money take a check not a cash and leave.

Last year in June I started playing slots and won 40 handpay jackpots but still had more loss than win totals for the year. This year I've won 25 handpays so far, just in January, because I've started to figure out a strategy, but that strategy only gets you so far -- I still have more losses. KZread channels that show people winning a bunch of jackpots -- trust me, those people are losing more than they win. I think at this point my experiment with gambling is over.

One thing that bothers me is folks who think slot machines are rigged. They aren't. Slot machines are one of the most heavily regulated industries that to rig it would be incredibly dumb by the casino. There source code is scrutinized by regulators They risk too much, they risk there business of millions of dollars being subject to multitude of fines and even closures. It is simply not financially worth it for a casino to rig machines. Instead they rely on mathematical odds. They know statistically they will in the end return a profit even though each pull is independent and random.

We didn't just fall off the turnip truck -- it's pretty obvious the casinos are constantly manipulating what and when the machines pay out.

KronosSlots: Yes. I believe that all of the money in-play at a casino (the 'push' or 'handle' as I have come to term it) is subsidizing those winners one sees waiting for a hand pay at a machine which is ringing, flashing and attracting a lot of attention. In the high roller room at one casino on New Year's Eve over 14 years ago the din of machines paying jackpots was almost deafening. The room was packed and it seemed that everyone was either getting their hand pay or waiting for one to be paid. This was at the newest casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, The Borgata, on December 31st 2003. The entire casino was packed and the money was in-motion. My sweetheart and I came down to the casino to enjoy, primarily, their renowned buffet which had a special menu for the occasion. We played slots in the high roller room and a lady sitting on the opposite side of the bank of machines where we were seated had a big hit for $64k. My girlfriend was a combination of glum and excited. She said something about the machine to the effect that "We want to go up!"; just like that we hit for $8k and my sweetie was very excited then.

My girlfriend of over 14 years is addicted to slot machines, it of course has caused issues with us at times. In California we only have Indian Casinos and the local smaller ones in our county do help the community, especially when we go through a wildfires. But the bigger one next county over that is co-owned by a Vegas casino and they don't care about the person, just their money. It is not uncommon for my girlfriend to spend 6 to 12 hours there and maybe only playing a couple slots. She gets stuck, she will keep looking up at the progressive amounts on her slot convinced it's going to drop. There is no reasoning with her, she turns into a completely different person. And 9 times out of 10 she walks out at 4am broke because she will play $2000 that she won down to nothing because she is convinced something else will hit.

She lost her mom about 25 years ago to suicide and her 28 year old son in January 2020 to a drug overdose and she has made promises on both of them inside the casino and of course broke that promise. She will say "one more", one more $100 bill, one more time to the ATM, or a "couple more" either a couple more $100's or $20's, or a couple more spins. She blew probably between $2000-$3000 a couple Sunday's ago trying to win $1968 on the damn Willie Nelson slot that's $9 a spin. Normally she plays ones that are $5 a spin. Yes she wins, but I've told her winning only matters when you walk out with it. She could have over $1500 at 3am and will walk out with nothing. The only time she ever really walks out with anything is if she gets a hand pay... if it's on the slot it's going to stay in the slot. Although before and during part of the pandemic she would get $500 twice a week in freeplay. Then she caught Covid at the casino and was so sick that she was hospitalized, she almost died. She eventually became a Covid Long Hauler, which meant it went from a virus to an autoimmune issue and she was very sick for over 2 months. She still has lingering symptoms to this day. But because she wasn't spending her usual amount of time there (someone else did her freeplay) the amount she gets went down to $200 twice a week. She is mad...but she still goes.

I'd love to know if she has also studied poker and such. I've been thinking about it for quite a few years and it seems to me that even those games were made to be simple and mindlessly addicting (by the greedy, for the greedy). It's not by random chance that they're still so popular after so much time. The key thing about them - that no one seems to really think about - is that the decisive factor for winning or losing is still pure luck. Whatever merit one has during a match is ultimately just a facade to reward you with a certain, yet false, sense of accomplishment/achievement. However, in reality, you might as well be betting on dice rolls... Minesweeper is a comprehensive example of this. You only win if you were lucky enough to not click a bomb at the very start, and at every time all the numbers happened to become ambiguous. Doesn't matter how good you are with the numbers, you only progress if you're lucky. Solitary and Majong are also good examples of it, but in those cases, your game can even be lost from the very beginning and you're just wasting your time until you find out. I reject games where luck is what decides whether I win or lose. *Especially if real money is involved*. On a related note, no one plays those casino games because they like them. They are too shallow and generic to be satisfying enough to actually enjoy. Just like tic-tac-toe and other games that no one plays, at most you get a false sense of satisfaction (the one you always get for simply being competent at something). If money wasn't involved, hardly anyone would be playing poker, blackjack, etc. I've never heard of anyone who plays poker with beans, and poker is used as a handy excuse for sex games only because everyone has a deck of cards lying around at home.

Yes, I've played poker. More times that I care to remember, really. Some of my friends work at a casino's poker tables and they also play in poker championships... As for the game being won by luck or merit, correct me if I'm wrong, but no matter how well you're playing it, if the cards that come out don't favor victory, you don't win.

I didn't say I reject games where luck is involved, I said I reject games where luck is the decisive factor. Monopoly, for example, is not one such game. Dungeons and Drangons is even further away, as well as many video games.

His success by itself doesn't mean it's skill, since luck is also something that can happen many times in a row. Also keep in mind that winning by bluffing can happen in poker. The question is what exactly does he do that the others don't, that may give him an edge?

You can get good at anything. Those mind games are not a property of the poker game, though. The rules allow for them (I wonder why), but those mind games will exist in any game that is based on luck and which allows players to cower away from a round. If players are allowed to run away from unpredictable bets, then it is to be expected that players will want to scared off their adversaries by bluffing. That just seems like wiesel tactics to me, really. It's not really a matter of whether I like it or not, it's just what it looks like. In a game that's based on merit, players don't even have a reason to cower away. They can always just keep avoiding making mistakes, which serves as a learning experience, at the very least, and at most concede defeat for matters of convenience, in cases where defeat has already become the only possible outcome and the rest of the game is just a waste of time.

Nah, poker is fun, played it without money a lot.

Gambling games are the most idiotic frauds that still work. If you go to Las Vegas, you go for the show, not to actually get involved in the stupid practices.

TOD in English means: Time On Device, TOD in German means DEAD and/or DEATH... coincidence?

counting cards at black jack is actually much smarter then poker

SideWayz Moose Actually there's no evidence to support that counting cards helps your odds significantly. Poker is the only game not played against the house, i.e. the casino doesn't want you to lose like they do with every other game.

Reilly Markowitz - Card counting in blackjack, even basic high/low level one counts can increase your odds over the casino while also playing a perfect game, but the odds go from about +1.5% to about minus 1.5% but this really means you need to be playing for a long time. But card counting is becoming a useless skill with the introduction of auto- shufflers. In regards to poker -- No you not playing against the house but the house are still removing money from every pot if you are playing cash and entry fees and money of the prize pool in tournaments. all these things need to be taken into account when choosing what game to play.

Right, I understand the concept of rake. I winning poker player needs to beat the other players as well as the rake. You're still more likely to do that than win at blackjack.

You should follow this up and look at how games like CSGO and DotA 2 illegally get kids into gambling.

Nah, I got a system.

Kids, don't gamble on the Strip in Vegas. YOU WILL LOSE. Go to the Gold Spike or another old casino They fixed up the Golden Nugget. So, IDK if you can win any money there, anymore. Try Sam's Town or a local casino like Red Rock. Don't ever drop your money on the strip.

I've only been to Sam's Town once. East LV is kind of sketch. The Killers joked that they named their album after Sam's Town so they could get a lifetime free buffet pass. :) Do you live in NV? It was so strange moving to LV. My eyes CRAVED green. I'm from the Midwest and I'm used to humidity and grass. Have you ever been to Jean, NV? :)

Yup. Well, I made my own family there but then my girl. my best friend , broke my heart, and it just got too hard to be there. I would wake and start crying. Vegas is a strange place to live if you aren't from there. There isn't a big sense of community like there is in Chicago. My ex-BF was a Sommelier at a club I worked at. He FINALLY passed the master sommelier test and he's an ambassador for Krug. He's got a new GF/Wife/ whatev. She's Asian. Ian Cauble. He was in a doc about Sommelier .IDK. Whatever...Oh, it got up to 111 degrees when I lived there. A long top would become a dress because the heat was so brutal

The modern Casino design is not working out... 80% of the people that go to Las Vegas don't Gamble! The distraction level is way too high... they've turned casinos into a carnival atmosphere.... every time a player wins $0.05 they've think they won the jackpot... and they scream about it!
