Waste of money

Me doing something else.

 

[Sam Fisher]

They suck.

Slots can be exciting but I think people ought to know their limits and when to stop. It ought to be a fun, frivolous thing. The whole thrill of possibly winning the jackpot or just a good pot. I'm coming from a vacation to Vegas perspective (or any other place that allows this), though. t:

 

[JaD]

I thought those were for old people?

 

[Red Cherry Lips]

It's quite popular among senior citizens although I've seen all ages playing slots. The seniors are more hardcore about it, I think.

So I'm playing the slots at the casino here about 10 years ago or so. Just having fun, winning a little, replaying my winnings. My (then) wife and friend's come by and say it's time to go, I say just one more pull but they drag me away anyway. The machine I was playing was right by the cash-out booth and as no one had sat at the machine I was playing I kept 3 tokens to play it on the way out. While everyone is joking with me about having a gambling problem some old lady sits down at the machine I was playing...plops in her tokens...pulls...and jackpot.
True story..I rode my friends about that one for ages.

They're a waste of money and I don't mind losing a little bit of money. I prefer table games. While they are still games of luck, it is a situation where one can control their chances.

It seems to only work for middle aged and older women. I know of so many women who go to Atlantic City put a couple of hundred dollars in the slots and come out with thousands.

saw that while in AC one lady won over 6,000 after putting a couple 100 bills in one machine

I usually like to play the Star Wars because it's cheap, 5 or a penny depends which casino you playing at

Slots are simply too addictive. 9 times out of 10 people will play until they make a whole bunch of money and then lose all of that money. Meaning that they spent a whole lot of time and only gained emotional and financial trauma.

Not me, I play for fun and always set a limit and if I win any money I learn to quit while ahead and get the money out

I play once in a while just to mess around, because honestly they're more of a crap shoot than an actual crap shoot. Here in the Gary area we have two casino riverboats, and they stay full capacity all the time.

 

[Erzengel]

I've got tickets to see Stephen Lynch in April. I'm probably going to just do my usual of $100 on the tables.

 

[moraldeficiency]

What do you play?

 

[Erzengel]

Make believe.

 

[moraldeficiency]

There are help groups for that.

 

[Erzengel]

Usually just black jack. I've done Roulette a couple of times but I like to keep it simple.

 

[moraldeficiency]

Roulette and craps are lots of fun, you can get up pretty high but you just can't pull back before they **** you. It's always one more roll or one more spin, and that's the one that gets you.

Black Jack is fun but the reason I don't like it is crappy players **** up your game. That's why I love poker, people watch it on TV, learn some lingo and think they can play. Then you just sit back and slowly bleed them dry.

I picture you playing baccarat in a james bond tux with a star wars pin on your lapel.

Gambling is a waste of time and money no matter how you do it.

Whooaaaaaa......mellow out, Captain Bringdown.

Hey, if I'm gonna lose money I want to get something back from it.

Let me tell you that for a casino, the slot machines are the most profitable section. Therefore, by correlation, they are also the games where you have the least chance of winning.

I prefer poker tables anyway where I can have some input.

 

[mrvlknight21]

Totally boring and waste of money imo.
I have never seen anyone win any significant amount of info playing them either.

However, card games, roulette and craps I have seen lots of money won, people having fun and some strategy involved.

I have, I know a dude that has a uncanny knack of winning on the slots. He just walks around pop in some money and several times he wins around several hundred to over a thousand bucks and I seen him do it firsthand. Never works for me though
