By the way. Have you ever heard of Youtube....?

Well when I get free spins I watch them usually, but it's when I'm getting (or trying to get) the bonus when I look away. I think maybe it's got something to do with the fact that historically I've won big (biggish) when I don't really need the money. Which has probably got more to do with betting higher or staying at a game longer or whatever. But subconsciously maybe I'm thinking "If I pretend I don't care, it will give me the bonus."

And talking to the screen....yeah me too! But usually it's something like, "Give it up Thor, you....." or, "Hitman you piece of...." Which hasn't helped a bit in the past.

Anyways cool - I'm glad I'm not the only wacko around here!

I'll do that with VP, going for a royal. When I close my eyes and hear a sound, there's that chance. But sometimes it might just be a straight or a flush.

Talking to the screen while playing slots is kind of like this...

Jerk.

.... Jerk.

.... Thank you.

.... A**hole.

.... Jerk.

.... Thank you.

.... Jerk.

.... A**hole.

.... Thank you.

Hmm. Actually that kind of reminds me of my exwife. She was a little moody.

Gotta agree with Chayton, when I did play and was hoping for that last scatter, I do look away. Once I also had put $100 in MG, played Jungle 7's at $1 per spin, put it on 100 auto spins, went to do dishes and came back to $1,400 sitting there. That was the best look away yet.

Makes me think the casino computer gremlins are reading our anticipation through our eyes, if they see we are watching

and can see we are hoping for that last scatter, they push it by or stop it short. But if you look away, then they are confused

and you hit the last scatter while they are trying to figure out if it will make you happy

or if you don't care

. So looking away, takes the fun out of it for the casino computer gremlins!
