even if you take risks in casinos, the results are not satisfactory in slots games. We must recognize, that luck comes very rarely and generally not for us. Any consistent prize is hard to win, even 1,000 euros. This is very difficult and that's why people don't play that much. I hope that there will be some changes, so that we can play more optimisticallyin future

Slots are usually a drain on a bankroll. Both house edge and game speed are high, so the money is gone rather quickly. Even more so, if the game at hand has a jackpot.
They may be useful in a "go big or go bust" scenario. But this will end up with going bust, most of the time.

when we lose it's not such a big deal, but when we do it fast, then it intervenes some discomfort, because the money flew away without you feeling anything. I am aware that we can't win good prizes fast, but i want to feel the pleasure of playing without losing so fast and if a win comes, it's even better.

You have to follow bankroll management with slots , i think with all casino games , it's very easy to lose control , start betting recklessly , and destrioy the fun of the game . I think if you are carefull to play the games you know or have tried more in the past , with big payouts , on good casinos , and with bankroll management , tthen you are going to be successfull . But ofcoutse it is a game of luck , when you play you must be redy to lose sometimes not only win

Yep Antonis your message have something important what all players should know about loose. One of my friend who play much poker and casino games told me before that first you have to learn how to loose and after that you can try to understand how to win.

When it pays a lot you can keep on playing untill you see it stopped paying , then you have to stop . Also at the start if you see bad unlucky results (no free spins or no good winsat free spins or no good wins during normal play , ) better try another slot . When you win , you have to know when to stop . It's a matter of time before countdown begins for the downswing , being in danger to lose it all . If it stops paying or it doesnt pay at all , call it a day .
I totally agree with Calicul's starting point! Luckily I soon realized that the goddess Fortuna is not by my side at the slot machines either... So I only lost a few bucks but I was annoyed by that too... Is it hard to win 1000 euros? Sure, but even 500 ... I only spin a few times today, but I'd be happy for 100 euros

in the online environment i think it's harder, than in the rooms where they have slot machines. There you go, play and win more often. I have no idea how many prizes the online environment offers, but here i haven't heard of too many winnings. The idea is that you can make money, otherwise people would not play because of the confidence...
