You want to learn to be a disciplined gambler, it is PROVEN if you don't deposit, you can't lose.
Very simple and true, in Johnny not depositing and playing he can't lose; in this aspect HE WINS both psychologically and financially by not giving into temptation of depositing, playing and possibly losing.
I see this thread as Johnny's way of dealing with a gambling problem that he is not in denial about (which is good) and it is helping him also make a commitment in not depositing and playing; it may also be therapeutic. Johnny's so called “PROVEN SYSTEM” is merely a label for something that helps him deal with this addiction and problem that he openly admits to having.
Coming forward on a public forum and making a promise and commitment to other forum members that he will not deposit and gamble is helping him have more willpower and determination to follow through on his word and not give into temptation. So in a way this thread is also therapeutic and I'm sure some others reading can probably relate to what he is going through on one level or another. Everyone has had to limit and control themselves at one point or another when it comes to gambling; especially when in most cases a player is down and losing trying to win back something they lost. lol
We all should have discipline and self-control when it comes to certain actions; especially when it comes to such things as online gaming, poker/gambling etc. I have my own system and limitations set for myself; we should all have limitations and self-control when it comes to gambling - unless someone has unlimited amounts of money and doesn't really care if they win or lose and plays for the fun & entertainment of it. (Vast majority would not fall under that category but many celebrities and CEO's would perhaps) lol
Even though all slot machines are random there are some slot machines that give the player a better chance of winning than others when it comes to lining something up for a big win or certain features in bonus and free spin rounds.
For example Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II & The Finer Reels of life which are very similar when it comes to the bonus features. Each have the following bonus features to choose from after unlocking all features.
Feature #1
Immortal Romance: Amber 10 Free spins with multiplier X 5
Thunderstruck II: Valkyrie 10 Free spins with multiplier X 5
The Finer Reels of life: C & C 10 Free spins with multiplier X 5
Feature #2
Immortal Romance: 15 Free spins with random 2X and 3X with occasional up to 6X multiplier.
Thunderstruck II: 15 Free spins Wild Magic (Similar to wild vine/wild & cheese feature)
The Finer Reels of life: 15 free spins Wine & Cheese (similar to wild vine & wild magic feature)
Feature #3
Immortal Romance: 20 Free Spins Rolling Reels with Multipliers
Thunderstruck II: 20 Free Spins with random 2X and 3X with occasional up to 6X multiplier
The Finer Reels of life: 20 Free Spins with random 2X and 3X with occasional up to 6X multiplier
Feature #4
Immortal Romance: 25 Free spins Wild Vine feature (similar to wine/cheese & wild magic feature)
Thunderstruck II: 25 Free spins Rolling Reels with Multipliers

Question?
Let's say you are spinning at $3 a spin on each of the slot machines above and hit the bonus round. Which bonus feature would you choose and why?
Whatever it is you choose I am sure there is a reason you are picking one feature over another involving having a better chance of winning.
If someone says all slot machines are random and it doesn't make a difference what slot machines you play and that a player has the same chance of winning with one slot as all others it is only a half true statement.
It is true all slots are random however there are many strategies that a player can utilize to their own advantage to give them a better chance of winning. Avoiding 5 reel slot machines that have difficult pay lines to hit in most cases as they are extremely difficult in lining something up - Gold Factory for example can sometimes take ages to line something up as most other 5 reel pay line slots and a player has less chance of winning on some than others.
When I play, I selectively pick the slots that have the best chance of winning (from my own experience of playing nearly all of them) and choose the bonus features that give the best chance and odds to win. Now of course nothing is guaranteed when it comes to winning but a player can choose the highest possible best odds/payout slot machines that give the best chance to line something up along with the best possible bonus features and free spin rounds.
I'm adding a few dinky recent hits below for the heck of it on a few micro-gaming slots that I regularly play minus Jurassic Park which just came out.
For me personally I sometimes mess around at 0.30 to $1.50 per spin but when I have available funds and am willing to go for it I have upped the bet @ anywhere from $6-12 per spin depending on the machine and how I am doing.
Regardless of the amount that a person bets everyone should have self-control and discipline (and know when to STOP) and not play more than they can afford to lose; always putting family first and making their monthly living expense budget etc always a #1 first priority w/family.
Never risk and gamble money that you cannot afford to lose is rule #1 for me personally and should be the rule for everyone IMHO.
Playboy is one of my favorite slots by the way and I've hit quite a few MEGA wins on it since it first came out; below are a few dinky minor wins - nothing that impressive
but adding them anyway
25 Free Spins - Wild Night feature @ $0.30
25 Free Spins - Wild Night feature @ $1.50
The Finer Reels Of Life @ $1.50
The Finer Reels Of Life @ $0.30
Jurassic Park @ $0.30
Hang in there Johnny until September; you can do it
