I wanted to share my observations regarding the online casino I play in. I play in only one online casino! I won't write the name yet.
I tried to play in other casinos - instant drain everywhere! By the way, the first casino in which I was officially verified was my regular casino in question.
I'll try to express my opinion regarding RTP, randomness and everything else.
I started playing online casinos in 2018, registered and won x500 - x1000 a couple of times. Fortunately, I played for 30-45 rubles. Moreover, the wins of x500, x1000 happened immediately after registration on the first evening of the game, and what's more, in the first hour. This went on for a couple of days and, naturally, then the machines began to die. At first, they let the deposits play out and increased the distance of the number of bets. That is, in order to cover up the smeared 5000 rubles, it was necessary to first deposit another 5000 rubles, then 15000 rubles and more and more. In the end, the machine gave back the smeared and threw in a little more. As a result, the feeling of adrenaline and relief that everything: "an excuse", took their toll on my psyche. I got carried away and at one point missed the trap, got tilted and lost what I had won, then with the desire to win back "my won money" I played and played with my own. As a result, I lost about 100k rubles over the period from 2018 to spring 2019. Then I spat on this casino and began to live my normal life.
I want to say that after the casino "transferred" me from the category of "lucky ones" to the category of "gambler for earnings" all the games, absolutely ALL the games went according to the simple principle of "my deposit" + 30-70% on top in the game and then draining me. And so on during all the games.
Moreover, the balance always ridiculously reached a certain point and no matter what I did, no matter how and on what machines I played, it always wound up to this figure. Example: deposit 5000 rubles, game winnings 15000 rubles together with my deposit, then walking around the slots, drains up to 4000 rubles, throwing bonuses, but ALWAYS UP TO approximately a certain amount of 14000-15000 rubles.
That is, no matter how hard I tried, I still had a limit on winnings. If I didn't withdraw the money, then ultimately the deposit would go down to zero.
When withdrawing money using this scheme, the machines stopped “giving” at all, all games were zero.
Then I had a break in this casino from spring 2019 to January 2020. I think it was about 8-9 months.
Having nothing better to do, I decided to play in January 2020, made two deposits of 10,000 rubles, and the casino ate the first deposit, but gave the second deposit x3500 at a rate of 90 rubles. (315,000 rubles)
To say that I was shocked is an understatement.
The withdrawal of funds took place within a couple of hours.
Knowing already that the money from the casino had to be spent, I immediately managed to buy my wife an iPhone 11, updated the furniture in small ways, gave some to my parents and still had some left over.
Then, already considering myself not stupid (oh, how wrong I was!) I continued to play further. But I was already a seasoned veteran and strictly adhered to the rules I had made for myself:
1) If on a given day the casino plays with me "my deposit" + 40-70% and drives back and forth. I stop the game at the maximum. When I notice twice that I have reached a certain amount, then STOP THE GAME! A break of a day or two.
2) Be sure to make a deposit! Before a new game session, make a deposit of 400 rubles for the game.
3) After withdrawing money - a break for a couple of days. Several deposits of 400 rubles each and you MUST lose this money. I tried to spin as long as possible on machines with minimum bets.
4) One "target" slot on which I played the main game at a rate of 400 rubles per spin. And I chose a provider with slots that, to my great surprise, in 90% of cases gave back part of the deposit for several spins, which the main slot ate up.
With this game, in two weeks my + was already 800,000 rubles.
He kept a very tight rein on himself.
Caught several x1000, x1500.
(to be continued....)
Spoiler: the story will end badly)
I remember that evening of my tilt and hard downswing.
It was drizzling, I went and bought myself a widescreen monitor. Is it true that there are 16,000 rubles for such a dashing player as me? No problem, I'll play some more, but later. I remember my thoughts that THAT'S IT, I need to stop the game, it became very difficult to play, the last distance for an excuse was 150,000 rubles. at a bet of 400 rubles per spin. It excused and added another 40,000 rubles. In total, the last win was 190,000 rubles. I still remember what I said to myself. That's it! Stop it, come back to the casino in six months. It's obvious that they'll turn off the payout soon.
And I don't know why, but I decided to deposit 12,000 rubles after buying a monitor, to play. There was no game at all! The slot was slow and hung, gave a system error. What came over me, the night after these 30,000 rubles. 200,000 rubles were spent. For some reason I was sure that he would get away with it, right now! Just a little more! At work the day after this night I could not work properly. I played at work! I was torn apart by the resentment that I had spilled it and there was a desire to get away with it. By the end of the working day I was already minus 300,000 rubles.
The last thing the slot got out of it was giving 65,000 rubles. I also remember telling myself, here, withdraw. And leave, your game is over!!! The casino is eating!
But I think you are familiar with this feeling, I continued to play periodically, I could not stop. I caught myself thinking that I was used to playing every evening! And most importantly, I got used to the feeling of victory, winning. And the worst thing is that money ceased to have value for me, i.e. they became credits and spins. The understanding of lost amounts of money was switched off!
I went from feeling happy to feeling empty, irritated, angry at myself. I couldn't think of anything but the game!
The last games I tried to get out of all went either to zero or "deposit +40-70%". Keep in mind, my dears, that if you withdraw "deposit +40-70%" during a casino game, then with a high probability, when you return to play further, you will be twisted to zero.
And so, in stress, adrenaline and frustration, two weeks of the game passed, a downswing. There were no more balance increases for me, only playing for losses and draining at a short distance.
And you know, my dears, I will not make another deposit! No!
Let the casino choke on itself and go to hell!
I'm driving home from work now and I'll see my wife and one-year-old daughter smiling at me. My daughter with beautiful blue eyes will reach out to hug her father. Her father, who lost a large sum of money.
My wife knows that we have money, I said that I earned it, what a fool. What should I tell her now?
The money has disappeared. I can't admit about the casino, I'm ashamed and afraid that I won't be understood, I'll lose the trust of a loved one.
Total: minus 750,000 rubles!!!
What's left from the game: 50,000 won + iPhone 11 + furniture + some money for parents + monitor.
I have money in savings, but the casino will not take it! It will not take my money, my family's money, my child's money!
I would like to draw conclusions according to the topic of my post:
1) A license is only for providers. And what are providers? They only provide mathematics to calculate the probability of a player winning or not. But this mathematics is made up of the player's account history + casino bankroll. And nothing else!
2) There is no randomness. Each player has their own personal "luck" indicator on the account (player RTP). Therefore, some players experience a temporary upstreak. What is it?
This is an "investment" of the casino in the player. That is, they invested 50,000 rubles in me in 2018 as a newbie. What then? That's right! They ate 50,000 rubles and on top of my 100,000 rubles... They made money! If I hadn't stopped, they would have continued to make money. It's scary to imagine how they wanted to ruin my life and make money on me by giving me an 800,000 ruble upstreak!!!
3) There is and is an analysis of the player's behavior! This is most likely done by a software method. And if, very importantly, the program determines that the player deposits nervously, reacts to the loss with aggressive play (tilt), then welcome to the downstreak. And it will last a long time, how long, probably, no one will say. As the casino decides.
Maybe they wanted to make a million off of me!
3) If you are in a long downstreak, then you should not expect an excuse "tomorrow". Break off communication with the casino for at least half a year. Then you can check your luck. And with a high probability they will want to return you to the game with some big win! But always be on guard, an upstreak is a temporary phenomenon, your game will be analyzed and the drain will begin.
4) An upstreak is not a constant plus from playing slots, it is a game in which there are deposit losses, but in the further game the casino always gives back more than it takes. Positive play at the distance of an upstreak.
5) Casino managers also check your game. My downstreak started soon after talking to the VIP manager. Sometimes, however, managers can give you some advice. For example, they indirectly hinted to me that I should stop!!!
6) There are no sevens, strawberries, fruits, cards, pistols, candies or BONUSES on the reel! The result of your game is known in advance. Or rather, the outcome of your session has already been determined by the provider! Based on the "luck" indicator of your account and the casino bankroll.
7) If the casino plays with you on the principle of "deposit + 40-70% winnings" and you see this amount at least twice, then STOP THE GAME! Take a break, preferably a week.
If you bet on red in a casino and you're stubbornly unlucky, try betting on red!
