Environment of POKIES.
May 16th, 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.
New! Click here to play free pokies online!

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.

Well you can play the links above and you'll be a big winner.
At least it's not real money so you can't lose.

And there's no software to download.

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 Smiley

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.

You obviously don't like games.
Example for me -
I like playing chess even if it's with the computer.
Windows 7 has a chess game loaded into it from Microsoft called chess Titans which I can beat on the highest level 10.
It's fun to play.

chess is  a game of skill which i play reasonably well, pressing buttons continuously is what monkeys do  in the hope of getting a reward.

I put it on 50 spins at a time then sit back and watch it
or let it go in a smaller window while I'm doing something else.
The only skill is to up the size of the bet when you're winning
but not so much that you can't withstand a long run of no hits.

When you win 50% more than the amount you initially put in, then that is the time to check out. I won $55 after playing a few spins betting 30c spins. Five in a row let me win $60 and loss of $5 from my initial investment. The chance of winning those 5 in a row bonus spins is outside at best. Only done that twice in the last 8 years. Play conservatively.

I have played the pokies once or twice per year in the last 5 years.
I haven't lost any money but I was content to
walk out with a $20 win or to break even
or lose $50.
Once I won $250.

Kind of strange how these pokie machines operate, I never heard anyone who lost money playing them.

The win-loss ratios were fairly even at one stage. I had an afternoon where I wanted to eat up an hour before work. I played at a nearby tavern and put in $5. After a few 10c spins, I got this 5 x wild card free spins feature. $160 won. That saved me a trip to the ATM the next day.

After a while, I started to get hooked and wanted to get those bigger wins. I put in $20 and played $0.50 spins. Sometimes I won. Other times I lost. I started to lose more than I won for a while. I might only lose $100 a week at most before giving up. So, it was not that bad. I had a few occasional $500+ wins and that did a lot of good.

Passed those years, I gave up as I felt that it was an addiction that I had to overcome with busy work. I only play occasionally in the last couple of years. For now, I have won most of the sessions. But I think I might quit whilst I am ahead.

Go to any Pokies place and it's full of losers and
problem gamblers.
Anyone who gambles on a regular basis
at the Pokies would have lost a fortune.

When you lose something, it is no longer in your possession. When you gamble, you are expecting the chance of a favourable pay off.

I saw my sister put $500 through the pokies once.  I was down in Melbourne visiting her and she wanted to go to The Club. So we went.  She drew $250 out of the ATM and off we went.  I watched her put that through the pokies. I hadn't even seen a pokie for eons and still thought you could put 5 cents through. LOL

Anyway, she was putting notes through the machine and getting a few drops.  She told me to put some money through.  I looked in my purse and had 2 x $2 coins, so I put those through and actually got a drop, so I collected the drop and put that back in my purse. LOL

She laughed and by this time she was running out of funds so she gave me her Bank card and PIN and sent me off to draw another $250.

She lost most of that too.  For years after that she called me The Last of the Big Spenders. She lost $500 and I spent $4 and "won" that back.  Grin Grin Grin

Haven't been near a poker machine since.

That's funny - we all have some Pokies stories.  Smiley

Back to the game I found - the Buffalo one.
https://supermegaslot.com/demo/game.php?game=3013
You need 3 coins to get the special feature.
Last night I started the game and within 10 spins
I got 5 coins on the screen.
I have never seen that before.

I'm sorry to hear that.
There seem to be an equal number of men and women in pokies places.

My final straw not to play the pokies regularly was when I lost $200. That machine was playing cold. But after losing $100, I figured that I was due for a win. I played until I lost $200. If I walked away and someone won that money back, I would have fantasized about setting the pub up for a break and enter, I was that irritated.

I saw a guy once in the pokies who
was playing the Red Kangaroo as per here:
https://supermegaslot.com/demo/game.php?game=3011

He was very upset as he had lost over $3,500 that night.

Shiddey?

I could not spend $3500 in one month, let alone one night. The last time I spent that amount of money was when I paid cash for a second-hand car (my first car).

Even in December, I am spending no more than $300 on 5 gift cards. I probably would not spend more than $1500 in a month on rent, food, petrol, bills and entertainment.

Wow - I once saw a man lose $2,500 in
5 roulette spins at crown casino.
He was betting $500 per spin and didn't hit anything.

I also saw a lady win $3,500 in one spin.
She put $100 on one number and it hit.

There are youtube videos I have watched of people who put $50 into the pokies. They hit the highest bet and line numbers that could be played. End up with free spins on the first go. Won $1000.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The idiots should play roulette with a single zero -
that has a 97% payout -
the machines are only 87% in Victoria.

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.

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  Smiley
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.

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.

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.

Result screen shot:



I tried the Buffalo game tonight letting
it run with flat betting $1.20 per spin and running 100 spins at a time.
I let it go for many hours so we are talking about 1000s of spins.
It went up to $1119.43 !
That is proof that the payout is higher than 100%.
