Bizarre Behaviors, Silly Superstitions, and other Assorted Asininities

**SlotsWizard** · 29th May 2006, 01:18 AM

What are some of the strange habits you find yourself doing while gambling online? Things that in reality don't affect the outcome of your game, but you do them anyway?

For example, I always have the QuickSpin feature turned on while playing MG slots, until I get some free spins. Before I start the free spins, I turn off QuickSpin so that each one plays out slower and makes the feature last longer overall. It doesn�t change the results one bit, but it makes me more enthusiastic about the free spins (until they�re over, of course)!

You must be guilty of doing similar types of things, so what are they? It�s time to let the whole world know!

I don't do anything special while on the internet, but from time to time I go to Bingo at a recreation center where I live, and I have a couple of good luck trinkets that I set up along with my cards. They don't work, but they look cute and almost everyone else does this. Well, maybe they DO work, because this Bingo only costs me $8 for an evening of play, so it saves my money by keeping me off the internet games.

I don't do anything strange, sorry.

But whilst at Crown Casino (land based) a few weeks ago I was playing a slot and this guy & his partner (both around late 40's) sat on the machine next to me.

She inserts her casino card into the loyalty slot and feeds in a $100 note. Next thing I see her carressing the damn slot glass, while after ever 2'nd to 3'rd spin her guy (who looks pretty normal) start softly punching the screen too.

My partner & I could hardly keep straight faces. Each time I got a win they'd up the ante and do it more often. I got a pretty good win finally and I think they got shitty cos they cashed out and walked away in huff

Oh God! The rubbing the screen thing!!! Ha! I have seen so many people do that. My exboyfriend (gambling buddy) loves to mess with those people. He'll say " Wow that really works huh?" And then he starts to rub his machine and tells them "Wow I cant believe I never thought of that". I of course am much more normal

I like to sweet talk the wild and scatter symbols, escpecially if they are male.Pretty sick huh?

Well, everytime I hit the free spins on Thunderstruck.....I pause, say a prayer to Buddha, rub my head at the same time as rubbing my belly (in a counter-clockwise direction), all the while screaming to wake the neighbours....come to Momma big Daddy!!! Does this qualify as bizarre?

Seriously, besides lighting another cigarette and rubbing the shit out of my lucky stone...no strange behaviour here.

i prefer to give my screen the bird and lob a few verbal profanities.....then when I do finally hit the free-spins I like to drop trou and give the screen a good rubbing while hollering "kiss it! kiss it!"

When I get free spins I tend to shout, "come on.... COME ON... RETRIGGER!!!" and shake my fists at the monitor in anticipation... then, when it doesn't retrigger I'll start referring to it lovingly as a motherf%@#!^& piece of $h!& that never lets me win.
