When slots aren't hittin for you anywhere it's so demoralizing

[Savatage79]

Especially when you are coming off a great run that lasted months. I realize it can't be nonstop but damn when they go cold it can just be the absolute worst.

But I still can't understand how when this happens how it doesn't matter the game, they're all playing identical. How can every slot I touch right now be pure shit?

Sucks, worst cold run I've had in a long time

 

[geordiecolin]

If I have had great luck at a Casino as soon as I get the impression they are wanting to claw it back I am off and don't go back for a very long time

 

[sapit222]

Ive also had that bad run going for a while now...
Cant win anything anywhere it seems.

 

[greylady]

Same here, it's been chronic since October 2017 with the exception of July this year

 

[mariafbb]

same boat here.......

Now that I live in Zombieland as far as casinos go, finding any place to play is a major challenge, so I am limited to just a few. And even though I have had a few great wins over the past few months, when I actually add up losses vs winnings, all I am really doing is just winning back all my previous deposits, and even then, I am still down. Very demoralising.

I remember the cold streaks always more than my wins to be honest.
Last year was an amazing year and had some really big hits in the 1000-3000x stake range but this year started very slow and up until June I believe I could not hit a 50x on any slot.
Gambling then gets a bit frustrating but hey it is all about luck.
Last 2 or 3 months have recovered my balance / RTP for this year significantly.
Still yet have to hit something over 1000x but had a few 500-900x hits at least.

Happens to us all mate - believe me!
Try to take a few days or weeks off gambling - then see if you have the desire to try again.
Whatever you do, NEVER chase your losses.

Pretty much how I've felt about RTG, aside from the starting out winning part.

Out of almost 100 deposits this year, I've had 4 winning ones. You definitely start to wonder whether or not the slots are set at some kind of "steal all your money" 85% setting. Was literally at the point of checking the flash settings to see if it weren't some kind of rogue/fake games (Outdated URL (Invalid) is the rtg server? Couldn't find anything from a search engine.)

Of those 4 winning deposits, two were random jackpots - how crazy is that. I hit random jackpots just as often as I actually won from the normal slot play. Both times I hit the jackpots i got crushed by the slots themselves, but one of the jackpots was still big enough to keep 2/3 of it - the other got 80% destroyed. Of course, those winnings are long gone, but the one jackpot fueled a lot of deposits.

Any other software I've played at least would pop out the occasional win about as often as I'd expect, though slotland/winaday games have also been pretty tough this year. A couple good hits on rival but there don't seem to be many good rival casinos (was hoping superior casino would be okay, but apparently losing thousands in a single month isn't enough to get them to raise your withdrawal limit above $500/day.)

But more generally speaking, yeah, in gambling everything seems pretty easy when luck is on your side and things are working out, but when you hit that one really bad streak it can feel absolutely much impossible to win just about anything at all. Sometimes no matter what game you play, what casino, what software, what type of gambling, it's just "lose, lose, lose." Can be rough. Then something finally spits out a big win when you least expect it and the cycle goes on (well, unless you play more than you can afford and gamble all your savings away before then.)

Currently on the worst run of my 18+ years playing online. Time for a break.

I'm ready to smash my fn tablet, I haven't inner hulk raged like this in a long time. It doesn't even feel right, I've spent the last year winning but losing as well with it all to just pop back with a decent session, here every deposit straight to zero.

I know it's rng but still, it's hard to not think that casinos know how much someone has cashed and will put a lock down for a bit on one's account.

 

[goatwack]

If it's a good tablet with a decent brand then please don't smash it

 

[Savatage79]

Haha, it's just a fire hd 12 or whatever... Seriously I've been so close to punching this bitch across the room

I have had these inexplicable bad runs where every game across every casino you try plays exactly the same way and I agree it’s totally infuriating to the point where the last couple of times I sensed it starting I just played a lot less and low rolled until it passed. Still couldn’t win low rolling but I didn’t lose as much. That’s the whole thing with rngs and random. If it truly was this scenario would be virtually impossible to achieve. I mean out of thousands of spins you would have to get one half decent hit but you don’t it just kills every session.

 

[Savatage79]

I just think it's weird how it seems it's all connected, how can you have identical sessions on every game in every casino?

And by identical I simply mean never even getting even remotely higher than your deposit.

I've played alot to know that generally I can make a decent bankroll, and usually after a a few hundred bucks tops I'll work something up and either take it or gamble it and see if I can get more. That's 90% how it goes, but this run just seems like it's a totally fixed situation where they look at my social security to see my accounts and what I've won game to game and put me on lock down until x amount of dollars are regained.. That's how it feels

I totally get what you mean. I think it's connected through the software provider. When a slot is cold I play a little BJ so I have some extra cash to spin it. I have currently 40 dead spins at 50 spins making it feel really like a robbery. Immortal Romance and Thunderstruck are slots for me wich are extremely cold. 3-5 $a spin I played Thunderstruck 2 with a 1100 balance and didn't hit a single bonus. Only 1 hit above 100. Also a lot of low bonusses around 5 to 10 x. I take a break and after that I even hit 3 bonusses in a row with just 3 times pressing. The unlucky part of that is that you still have to playtrough your deposited bonus what I find a bit unfair. I mean do you need to playthrough a off the money you bring to a landbased casino ? No!

 

[Skephan]

Just go to a landbased casino with a already determined bankrol and if you double just walk off.

 

[Scott1baird]

For me its one single game that kills me, IE depo into VS got up to £160 then decided today is the day danger gives me a bonus. £110 lots of spins 25 teases. Only reason I stopped was cos my phone died.

Yea you nailed it, the software being connected and that's what I can't help to think because I stick to the same games and that's why I feel there's more than meets the eye.. Because here's the kicker, multiple times when I've won at one casino and cash out I'll go to another and play the same game and it will hit just the same and I'll cash out. Is that pure coincidence that it seems the games I play the same across all the rtg casinos at any given time?

When they're good they are good on all, when they're bad like right now they're bad all around... Who can explain that outside of some form of software control?

I know some would say play different games, and that's the thing that's sucking even more is I have been tryin new games to break the pattern here and doesn't matter, I just sit and tickle my bankroll a bit til it's gone.

 

[tricardo]

Imagine having a cold streak, but then having the cold streak on Netent's.

I know they can be bad slots to win anything on in the first place, but they've been brutal for me this last week. Even my fave CFTBL which usually gives me a decent play has been crap. Maybe Netent haven't raised enough cash for their Christmas party yet.

Depo'd a tenner for a quick bash on Jungle Spirit earlier today - quick was the operative word. No wins or teases in 50 spins (minimum stake).

Why bother!?

I get these same "feelings' - that the games run the same, hot or cold, across casinos. But I have to remind myself that isn't true. I often think the casinos might be cheating, but then I always remember: They really don't need to. Over time, casinos always win. This hobby is an up and down one. I lost badly this summer and maxed myself out. But then over the past 6-8 weeks or so, I started doing a lot better to the point I'm actually about even right now somehow.

Honestly, I think the key to winning on any given session is having a bankroll big enough to "outlast the slot", if you will. Eventually it pays out, and we as gamblers all hope that happens before we've put too much into the game.

For example last night I was in 1300 on a 5 hour session and told myself that was it for the night. I decided to make one last 200 deposit, played it about 1/2 way through in 5 minutes then suddenly hit for 3600. Eventually cashed 4500 for a 3000 win on the night....

If I hadn't played that next deposit I'd be down 1300. If I had waited 5 hours to play, I'd be up 4500. The point is that you never know...

Exactly and that's a great session you had, very awesome. And yea many times I did the same where I went a bit further and hit nice and cashed out even than I was going to, I'm just not used to going this long... That's the thing I feel spoiled by the last year or so, I was having checks come every other couple days and weeks, so I guess that felt to be the norm lol

But it's truly like the casino wants it all back, so I'm hoping to have a session like you just did soon, I really need it bad! Grats on that win btw

Never had 5 scatters or a wildline on doa, never anything over 600x on any BTG a lot...
and I’ve played a lot of spins.
First time playing book of ra magic I had just under 1000x on 30p stake, also (no lie) my first ever JATB 2 bonuses paid over 700x....
slots Piss me off to high hell sometimes, for me personally it’s not the winning, it’s more decent playtime with a beer and moaning on here...
As said before the way slots are going are just like fobtys...(or was that the plan already?..)

As far as I am concerned they have to work in the same way but online pays out a much higher percentage. I studied and played FOBTS for years and the similarities are plain to see. Not random that’s for sure.

Old school slotting was awesome. Thunderstruck and the like, can still get super wins and awesome cashouts.
Now all the majority want is the megaways fantasy 18000x...
May aswell buy 50 scratchcards Instead of a deposit
