Psychology and Slot Machines

Biological waves of the player and his results in the game, the wave-like theory of winnings, the phenomenon of revanchism when playing slots casino – what does it mean? And also: signs, rules, questions and answers, mathematical deviations in NetEnt slots and not only, life stories and casinos in general. All this will be discussed below. But let’s go in order:

gambling psychology: everyone has their own method of attracting temperament,

which wins – common sense or belief in artificial attraction of character,

taking care of the psychological state of the players is a prerequisite for a licensed casino.

Psychology of a gambler

What intricate and thoughtful methods were not invented by gamblers to feel protected and confident while playing slots.

Many avid gamblers believe that the psychological state of the player (courage, sadness, doom, confidence in victory) directly affect his gambling results.

Common sense versus faith

Scheme of a slot machine In our casino there was a saying among the staff: “Do you know why slot machines are called slot machines? Because they beat the players automatically. ”

The slot is configured so that it is guaranteed to bring profit to the owner (excluding the facts of failure and third-party interference with the software). And the psychological state of the player has nothing to do with it, as well as any of his actions.

If the slot machine works in the return mode of 98%, then in spite of everything, at a certain distance (number of revolutions) the profit of the institution will be exactly 2% of the rates invested in it. But players do not believe in common sense, logic and do not want to accept the doom of their fate. They come up with new systems, rituals and tricks. They want to believe that there is some secret, some trick.

My story is about playing slots

A few years ago, I worked as an operator-administrator of a slot machine hall in a large and prestigious casino. We had very expensive slot machines, but they did not match the quality of Net Entertainment. So, I have established almost friendly relations with various players, which seemed adequate to me.

From these people, completely different in their mentality and social status, I learned a lot of different information and realized that what drives them – a passion for the game.

For example, one of the players told me this: “It is very easy for me to stop if I win. And it’s almost impossible – if I lose. ” In the psychology of gambling there is such a thing as a sense of revenge. It forced the player to take revenge for previous losses to his iron rival again and again. It is this feature of the psychology of the gambler that allows slot machines to thrive.

But slots were until recently considered a second-rate game. Serious players preferred to play with “live” dealers: roulette, blackjack, oasis poker – motivating their choice by the fact that the program decides everything in the slot and chance (albeit unlikely) – is impossible. But let’s look at video slots from NetEnt.

Magic and psychological mood

Winning in Jack Hammer The average return percentage of NetEnt slot machines is 97%, and the variance is so high that in the bonus game the machine increases the bet by € 100 700 times without any problems according to statistics.

Therefore, the return percentage in NetEnt slots is higher than, for example, in roulette, and with such huge scatter of winnings to play them at high stakes can be much more profitable than many board games.

By the way, there is a pattern in the casino – no matter offline or online: who plays for the first time, never loses. In English, there is a phraseology that describes this phenomenon – “beginners luck” or beginners are lucky. This is the addictive strategy of game slots, for which they are called “one-armed bandits”.

Very often the player wins the slot machine for the first time and wins. If he lost – he would decide that it is not worth his time, here he just loses money and would never play again.

Tell me anything about math and statistics, but I firmly believe that there is something else in the magic of casino games. And this is what “something else” is often determined, the player wins or loses in this hand, this determines the temperament of the new player, as well as phenomena that do not fit into any statistics. Many players believe that a person’s psychological mood has a special influence.

For example, in the Mega fortune slot machine he won two jackpots the same player. Imagine the chance of winning the jackpot – 1 in 10 million. What is the probability that one person will win it? One of … um … unfortunately, I don’t know such a big number. Probability endlessly tends to zero.

Lucky

Now I want to give another example from real life. In the recent past, one big player played on our affiliate links. He played exclusively with us – we guarantee the security of the account and the withdrawal of large sums. Having a sad casino gaming experience from Microgaming in the past (the company’s reputation is not as crystal clear as NetEnt’s), he decided it was safer to play in honest casinos.

He spent most of his time in the Jack Hammer slot machine, playing at the highest possible bet at the time of € 250 per spin. The game took place in the best online casinos. For six months, he won € 50,000 a month, and statistically he was just lucky. In total, he brought in about € 500,000!

The money was paid without any delay. Imagine the variance values  (statistical deviations) that include the x2,000 win for a € 250 bet! This is only possible in new online casinos Australia 2021.

Taking care of the psychological state of the players

European operators, guided by the principles of care for players, their psychological problems, give them the opportunity to set their own limits on deposits, rates, total losses. Setting your own limits does not allow you to lose more than you can afford. According to the license requirements, changes to the limits will be set only after a period of seven calendar days. Thus, increasing the limits today, you can use them only in a week. During this time, the player can cool down and weigh everything again.
