Why You Lost Your Money Playing Slot Machines

[longknife]

There's a reason casinos sound the way do, with their endless barrage of dinging slot machines: It's all about taking your money. So say gambling researchers who looked into why slots are so brutally effective in extracting every last coin, reports Pacific Standard . Sorry, conspiracy theorists, the games aren't rigged..

From Why You Lost Your Money Playing Slot Machines - All those bells and whistles made you think you were winning: Study with link to Why You Keep Losing at Slot Machines -

“Gambling researchers” just figured this out? You gotta be kidding me! 10 years or so ago I self-published a book that said this very same thing – with lots of tips on how to get the most for your money while visiting Las Vegas.Lost Wages in Las Vegas is an inside vision of what goes on in Sin City and it didn't take scholarly study to figure it out.

Old-time mobsters knew they and in the decades since the first casino was opened in Las Vegas, the gaming areas are almost identical today as they were way back then. The only difference is that, in order to make more money, the major Strip casinos have added lots of goodies like 5-star restaurant and major shopping sites.

As I heard decade ago,"They don't build those massive hotels by paying out nothing but jackpots!"

When I was in Cali --- I could sit down at a roulette wheel and make $40 bucks go for hours..

No more expensive than playing bingo.. And the drinks were free.

My "research" says you're expectations need proper adjustment before you go in the door. You're NOT gonna blow the house away -- you're NOT gonna leave much richer -- and if you DO win big -- put 80% in your pocket and leave it there..

Blackjack is the only game I ever play in Casinos.

Uncle was a Dealer back in the Rat Pack day. We were learning blackjack when other kids my age were learning Go Fish.

I don't always win, but rarely lose much.

Slots are the money makers for all casinos that I have seen. That's why they have so many of them.

You lose your money to slot machines because you put it in.

Slots even TELL you what percentage they pay off.

I don't get it, but people do seem to get addicted to feeding them.

Anyone who gambles is an idiot.

The house never loses, how the hell do you think they build all those casinos?

Keep your money in your pocket.

I do the same at the poker tables in AC.

Two hundred bucks lasts all night and the drinks and refreshments are free.

And the entertainment and characters are priceless.

Casinos are for losers. Literally.

I detest them with the passion of a thousand burning suns. They are pure evil.

When I have had to visit gambling towns on business, I didn't drop so much as a quarter on gambling. I have seen everyone from churchgoers to active duty miliary to degenerates lose large amounts of money in seconds.

Every time I see a dope in front of a slot machine, I am reminded of those films of monkeys pulling a lever to get a banana chip, and there is no doubt in my mind we have evolved from apes.

But the crack cocaine of casinos is the craps table. Craps is for hardcore gambling addicts who want to lose as much money as they can as fast as possible.

Stay away from casinos. Don't kid yourself about getting your "entertainment's worth" out of the cheesy glitz. If you are that easily entertained, it is no wonder you are there, monkey boy.
