Video Poker not random?

[FreeDomme]

A tin foil hat could be used to chase the dragon I suppose.
I think we gamblers all carry some superstitions. My husband had dozens of little quirks and rituals and he was a very intelligent and knowledgeable man. Maybe its better to educate than censure and barring that pity or at least show compassion.

Here is a useful tool for the OP.

When we become delusional about our unfounded beliefs and start to see what we expect to see in the vast ocean of random numbers a little reality check from others who are familiar with the game can be a good thing.

If droves of disillusioned gamblers add their voices to each other's it could be confusing for the uneducated or unsure. It would annoy me and I would drop out. The machine is either a VP terminal or it is a slot machine and I'm pretty sure the likes of Wizard of Odds, and sharp players over the years have already determined what it is.

I agree about the adding voices and giving new/uneducated gamblers the wrong impression.

It is not uncommon in these forums to read about 'gamblers' theories' about how casinos can change personal RTPs on the fly and re-write code etc etc. Personally, I've tried many times to 'educate' such people about the realities of casino games, and in 99.9% of cases it's a lost cause, because in my experience, it's more about that person's lack of control of their gambling which compels them to lash out at the operator who is 'ripping them off'.

Unfortunately, as I said, most of these people won't listen, and you can usually tell the ones who will by how they phrase their posts i.e. questions not statements. I'm more than happy to assist such people and have done so via PM on many occasions over the years (and some are still around enjoying their gambling which is how it should be ), but with the rest there is little choice but to paint them as tin-foil-hatters to avoid (as you said) others actually believing this nonsense is fact.

As I've said before, when I started out I was a bit like the OP in thinking that everything was rigged etc and I was anti-casino wherever possible, but thanks to some other members who provided the facts and talked about very important things like bankroll management and game choice, my views are very different these days and I can occasionally turn a profit instead of blowing the lot every time I play.

Good post Domme.
