Gambling - trying to quit (page 2)

That sounds great! I'm wondering, do you think that maybe playing games (mobile games, PS, PC games) could substitute the thrill from the casino games for you?

Hi! I've just read your story, and it resonates with me because my dad struggled with gambling addiction for a long time. And it was hard not only for him but for our whole family. Just wanted to let you know that 2 months is a huge progress so don't give up and keep moving. Netflix is a really great help!

Hey Paclmaya,

Good to hear that you are still clean!!

One word of advice if I may.. stay clear of the free play! It definitely doesn’t help at all.. stick to the Netflix and Amazon prime!

Keep strong and you will beat this!

First of all hello everyone. Wasn't on for a long time. I've been clean for over 3 months - if you can call it that. And I have to say, I'm kinda proud of it. But I don't want to sound arrogant. But still play demo games from time to time.

And I still find myself getting annoyed even playing demo. Nevertheless, thanks for the encouragement, it was really good.

If it's okay, I'll post contributions anyway, also about new games, because I always look at them in the demo games. Kind regards

Actually some players said in past that they really appreciate the free games section on our website. We currently have over 10 000 games in it so there's enough to choose from.

I quite didn't understand how the free games can substitute the emotions that you have while playing for real money, but those players said that whenever they feel the temptation, they start playing the game in a free mode and when they play long enough, they eventually lose. It actually makes them happy since they know they didn't lose the real money 🙂

3 months is a good start. I can bet you managed to safe a good amount of money this way and even if you didn't, you spent it on something else at least 🙂

Hello 🙂

You've made a good start, be proud of yourself 👍.

Feel free to start your own thread about free slots, if you like.

Stay well!

Well, I've never spent large sums when paying in, 25 or 50 euros, but that just adds up in the month. And really save - well, you have a wife and children, money then just goes somewhere else - let's put it this way, I no longer try to help my family by chasing castles in the air after the big win.

On the subject of annoyance - I'm not annoyed that I lose PLAY MONEY, but rather that, for example, games hardly give anything away. The same pattern works in many machines. Let's say you're playing it's just an example - Big Bass splash - the fishing game.

I just got all the bonuses unlocked - i.e. all the additional bonuses for the 10 free spins.

+ more hooks and dynamite (if only the angler comes and no fish)

+2 free spins more (i.e. 12 free spins)

+more fish

+more anglers

+ start from lvl2

If you add these bonuses to angels before the start of the free spins, then you think to yourself - something has to work now (even if it was just play money)

And then in the 12th spin you get 1 angler and a fish and win 1 euro with a bet of 20 cents!

Sry you have to fool the players in general - for me it's just a joke - it's not like you unlock all these bonuses often. Sry and it just doesn't have to be.

i also look at streamers on youtube and observe that many streamers usually only buy free games - for me the whole thing has nothing to do with gambling anymore - even if the probability of making a big win is low.

And then you can suddenly buy free spins that are not possible in the normal game.

Watch videos on Youtube *Book of toro* and *Wild Toro 2*

At book of toro-you can buy a free game-costs 500 times your stake.

Book game is clear to everyone. A character is selected. 10 free spins. Now you have your sign in the first spin - it comes on 3 lines - from now on the multiplier runs with you, and with every sign that comes with the next spins, the multiplier also increases. Sounds great, but not everyone can afford it. And the video once again shows how great the win was, but it's absolutely understandable that it's not possible for normal players because they say to themselves why should I pay 500 times the value of my stake for it.

wild toro 2

Here, too, the game runs like this if you have a wild, the reel increases until no more wild appears-they then run from left to right. When the bull appears, he runs to all the wilds and of course leaves a lot of wilds behind him the way he goes. So far so good. But if he has reached all the wilds and he is not yet on the first reel, the bull will run one space to the left, but the wilds are gone. So the normal free spins that you can get in the game.

now you have the possibility to buy a free game that runs just like the normal free game, but the wilds stay there as long as the bull is on the reels or a wild (matador) appears. Then the free game continues.

Sry, as I said, that shouldn't be the case, if free spins can be achieved, then please for everyone, and not just certain modes that you only get if you pay enough money for them.

I'm wondering where the fair play is here

Demo games will not help you to break free from the curse. Trust me. I tried this many times.

The only way to win is to stay away from the casinos 💯💯

From experience, I think the reason why people lose a lot in casinos is because of lengthy play time, in which case the player luck diminishes. It is wise to set aside play money for use at casinos and don't play with more than you can afford to lose.

I completely agree! I think that one of the reasons why people tend to lose a lot of money in casinos is because they play for too long. The longer you play, the more your luck starts to run out. That's why it's always important to set aside a certain amount of money that you're comfortable losing before you even step foot into the casino. That way, you won't be tempted to overspend.

Hello there,

I think that if put simply you are quite right, the longer you play the higher advantage the casino gains over you.

We provide some well-written articles about this advantage:

Hi,

I'd not say it's luck 🙂, RTP, variance, or house edge that affects the overall advantage.

Feel free to read this section:

I think that it's also wise to set loss limits and play in casinos with at least good responsible gambling tools:

Yes. House edge was what I meant to say but wasn't really sure. Thought it was safer to call it luck 😀

I see now.

I guess that it is quite a joke:

"How would you call having bad luck in a casino?"

"...House edge! (House cut)" 😀👍

I'd call it a "casino-tastrophe"! 😆

😀 good one!

That's where they put the "sin" in casino 😀
