Environment of POKIES.
May 16^th, 2021 at 6:44pm

I wanted to find out about any Pokies places near me so I went here:
https://pokiesnearme.net.au/how-to-win-at-the-pokies

And got this false spiel:

Quote:

Remember, Pokies in Australia are designed to return around 90% to the player.
This means that ultimately, we all lose - although some may have a win.
Please play responsibly, and do not play with money that you cannot afford to lose.

https://pokiesnearme.net.au/play-free-pokies-online

First of all -
Pokies used to be an 89% payout in Victoria but then the Govt
changed it to 87%.

Also - the advice on that page is nonsense.

Quote:

Bet low until the machine starts winning, then increase the bet
There are many methods that players employ when betting low as a strategy. This is a great way to play machines which appear to be 'running cold'. You never know when a machine is going to start running hot, so keep the bet low until then.

Bet low for 40 games then increase the bet for another 40 games, then increase it again for another 40 games. If the feature or free spins comes up, then start the count again
Bet low, but every 5, 10 or 15 games, increase the bet for that spin.
If you have a reasonable return on a spin, consider playing more lines until you have ran through the amount you won on that spin. The increased lines mean that you may have more returns for non-feature spins, making that win last longer.

Anyway -
I tried their free demo game:
Buffalo Slots:
https://supermegaslot.com/demo/game.php?game=3013

And I kept on winning.
I reached over $5,000 the first night after an hour or so.
I thought - that is a bit strange.
How can it be so easy to win?

I tried it again the next night
and started from $100 and went up to $86,266. Grin

Obviously the game is rigged so that people who try it think it's really easy to win.
So - they give you bad gambling advice and then a fake game to make you think you can win.
Talk about a promotion.

What's the most that you or a friend ever won?

About 15 years ago I walked into Crown casino
and within 20 minutes I had won $2300 on a machine.
I walked straight away out with a cheque.

A friend of mine once won $10,000 on a pokie machine.

Hardly ever played them. I've won about $500 a couple of times on roulette, but I hardly go to casinos either.

Don't you reckon it's funny how the suburb with the highest income has almost no pokies? Wonder why that is

Yes - the Pokies industry preys on the most disadvantaged people.
It takes their last dollar.

i know Im going to win, everyone does. Until theres real money involved. true story, some years ago, wont say which Casino but a woman was found dead by suicide in the toilets, ( not the first suicide there, they never report in the media), her husband had retired, drew out all his super and put it in a joint account, she got hooked and blew it all. Hung herself in the toilets. Not the only sad story i know of, casinos and online gambling should be banned, too much human misery. They give you plastic chips because people dont identify it as money so easily if they lose, you will also notice there are no clocks on the casino floor. They also play recordings of coins gushing out of machines to make you think there are people winning all the time, none of it illegal.
