Random my ass!

[Rusty]

Who really believes online slots are random?
Here is an odd fact;
Out of maybe 200 deposits at online casinos to play slots I have won once!
and guess what? Yeah that was my first ever deposit.Weird coincidence or NOT.
Here is another odd fact;
I have just finished playing at 777 dragon casino and on the new slot (Rome or something) I hit the free spins 1 time in 900 spins! and then proceeded to play Starscape where I hit the feature a grand total of ZERO times in over 350 spins.Just bad luck you say?Yeah but I seem to have the same ridiculous bad luck every time.
Oddest fact of all;
Whenever I have hit a decent win I have already been well down and it usually brings me back,incidentally of course,to around even on that session.This is then always followed by an incredible losing streak whereby the wild symbols seem to dissapear and I could safely bet my house on not hitting the free spins in the next 300 spins.
Who knows maybe the payout percentage are what they say but random?
ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!
Finally I would just like to thank 777 Dragon as I will not spend another penny with these jokers or any other online casino again.
Good luck to you all

I feared that this thread title was an instruction!

I've hit features on the first spin, or gone over 700 spins... Won £6000 off depositing a tenner, or burnt through a grand in no time.

It all makes it even more random in my eyes.

Sounds like a bad day Rusty. You're dealing with issues of "variance", not randomness. If you play straight-up 3 reel slots, you'll hit more often and have a more balanced perception dished out.

If you play the 5-reel bonus slots, you'll get loooong periods of nothing, followed by as little as one big hit. Any slot with massive attractive top-end payouts will suck and suck before they blow. I can go perhaps 30 or 40 sessions without a "decent" hit on some slots (ISIS etc) and then one hit (like the one today - see WS thread) and I get it all back in one spin. Then I put it back again and the cycle of life continues, all the time sucking out it's 5%

But whichever way you look at it, you will always lose on slots unless you are one of the very lucky minority.

Cheers,

Simmo!

Is that another @#($& british term???


and Rusty, not everyone can be winners, not even half the time. I guarantee if you played another 10 years online, you would have your run of wonderful luck

I do!
As someone who plays them nearly every day and makes profit nearly every month, I am happy that they are random & fair (except at RTG's )
I know you can have bad runs like you describe sometimes, but the trick is to have a plan & stick to it.
The main thing is to quit when you're ahead!
Take a quick look at this log - started with $50 deposit + $225 bonus, crashed to last $1.07 & recovered to cash-out 250!

I do actually believe (I believe! I believe!) that the slots are actually randomish.

To a hardcore, thrill seeking, pumped up, adrenalin seeking online gambling slots junkie, nothing beats spinning those reels.

The thing is - when to stop. If you have just logged on and you hit say a 'free spin' feature within 20 spins and you win 50 times your stake - that's when you need to stop. But the thing is, you haven't really had your fix.

Obviously, I cannot speak for all slots players but I've only had my fix when I'm actually starting to fall asleep whilst inanely clicking away at the mouse. I need to have played for a good 2, 3 probably 4 hours until I am fed.

This, in my opinion is how the casinos win. They know that you can win. But they also know, that you cannot stop.

That's why a hardcore slots player NEVER wins.

Unless your name is KasinoKing.

I actually am finding slots quite predicatble With a 95% payout slots are nothing near random. The thing is that you need to have the bank roll to weather the storm.

Yes, but you will always find that there will be a breeze.

Thanks all,
I guess I just needed to vent a little steam.....again!
Ignore me or patronise me but please do'nt tell me you won
My luck has been absolutely miserable for far too long but I accept many of the points you have all made.I just wish that I could actualy get infront,just once, so I could worry about not coming off when in front.
As for a plan?I have one but a length of quality rope his harder to buy than you might think
Sorry for the whine but at least it gave my monitor time to recover from its beating.
Good luck all and thanks for the replies.

Maybe it's time to start playing with a tighter leash on your bankroll? ie: Much smaller bets
