I set Buffalo to autospin and it got up to 900, then I changed the bet to 100 and lost it all.

Boring

But you haven't achieved my record win of $86,266.

Brave Bobby's record shall remain unbeaten.

500xALL@ $4.00 = $2000
500xALL@ $40.00 = $20000

$18000.00 I win. Grin

Don't try silly tricks.

No, that's what my Aristocrat shares have made.

I think rhino means that you don't lose money at the pokies. You "gamble" it away.

Seems like a play on words -
what's the difference?

It is also wrong - The pokies is not a form of gambling they are mathematically stacked you cannot win.

It isn't gambling it is gifting.

People do it because they want to pay more tax.

The real addicts do it for the thrill of losing more than they have, they do not know that this is the reason.

Monitoring their responses show that this is what excites them the most. They prey on sick people.

Should be banned.

Wrong, the pain of loss is greater than the joy of gains and I believe they're like heroin addicts, chasing the high of winning the first time.

What you say makes perfect sense but unfortunately it isn't true. An addicted pokie player gets no pleasure from winning. They do not get that high - winning is ho hum to them.

I played Big Red demo game again this afternoon.
Red Kangaroo
https://supermegaslot.com/demo/game.php?game=3011

I started out with $1 bets ,
then increased as I started to win.
I got up to $20 spins then hit a beauty.
It won $1,900 on that feature and
the total reached $2361.

After that I changed to $30 per spin bets and
it quickly went down and lost everything.

https://www.ozpolitic.com/album/forum-attachments/Red_Kangaroo_win.jpg

The real ones are boring, I cannot imagine how boring these would be.

I have a friend who won $18,000 and about $12,000 and $15,000 on other occasions, she was a very successful player.

And it only cost her family about $1/2 a Million.

I heard about an old lady who got $53,000
in super when she retired -
she put the whole lot down the pokies in one year -
$1000 per week.
She lost all her super.

My friend got her hands on $35,000 it didn't last 3 months.

I've actually made some decent coin off the pokies.

I got in at $4

You did well but you made
money from the misery of losers.

True, I don't know how I can live with myself.

I don't know either.

From a TV show once -
gamblers at Pokies over estimate the value of any win they get.
example -
they can make a big deal out of the $1,000 they won today
but not consider the $10,000 they lost in the last year.

Some people in Melbourne lost houses on gambling.
I heard that it's kept a secret as to how many
people left Crown Casino and jumped off the West Gate Bridge.
Some people even topped themselves inside the Casino
- it never gets out to the media.

I played the Big Ben demo game last night for many hours.
https://supermegaslot.com/demo/game.php?game=3012
I was letting it run for 50 spins at a time.
I slowly increased the size of the bets as I was winning.
I went from a $1 bet per spin to $100 bet per spin -
when I got to about $8,000 in winnings.

Here is a screenshot of when I made a $6,444 win
from a special feature.
The balance then was $35657.30

It even went higher than that - to $37,585.30
before I switched it all off.
I wish the real machines played like that. Grin

I played a poker machine out at the nightclubs, one year. I won about $100. I hit the collect button and waited 10 minutes for someone to show. Some guy walked by and said that there would not be anyone around to pay me. He said that I might as well leave. A couple of minutes later, some attendant came and paid me my money. That guy was there telling me to leave so that he could collect.

And he would have collected your $100 and gambled it all.

Considering it was a nightclub, he would have either gambled it or spent it on booze and other related stuff. Maybe a taxi ride home.
