Max starting bets

Hey everyone . 


I'm a new user on here. So have just been having a read through some posts some bringing very familiar feelings back from my past casino sessions. 


I'm not exactly a massive gambler. Poker immensely, 100% addicted. But trying to explain to people who don't play that to me I don't see that as gambling....it's a skilled game. Many aspects, strategy and I can spend £10 on a tourney and play 6 hours having fun.......or £60 in an hour at the local pub and have nothing but a head ache 🤣🤣🤣.......people who don't play don't get It. 


Slots however..........are my nemesis. Again I'm not a massive gambler when it comes to slots.  But I am terrible at getting a bad beat in poker , maybe dropping out just before the money. (Thats my worst moment) Because instantly I'll switch to slots.....and RAGE SPIN.  


Usually using winnings I won on my previous tournament. And ultimately ending the night with what I started with or less. But occasionally you hit a lucky first spin and tops your bankroll back up so I feel a immense sense of wellbeing and can sleep happy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


I do have one major bug bear with slots, it seems every casino does it. Which is games being set at MAX BET. 

Even knowing this it's caught me out on a few occasions. Or worse I've lowered the bet  and clicked BACK instead of OK which has kept spins at max bet anyway. 


I have a very love/hate relationship with this situation. On a quick 10 min work break and thinking .....Ive got a tenner in my account I'll have a few spins....to find out crap ....I've Span twice and I've lost my money and still have 9 mins and 30 seconds of my break left...........uggggghhh


However it gives me a massive fond memory of an accidental max spin on the classic book of the dead. 

 

First spin

Instant bonus  and 

3 more time's hitting bonus within bonus

Kept getting 3 or 4 symbols and twice all five symbols  

 

Watching you winnings going up into the thousands still gives me goosebumps. 


The immediate.......OMFG once I span on max by mistake I instantly changing to THANKYOU GOD OF SLOTS. 


Ahhhhhhh makes it all ok in the end 😁


Regardless slots being set at MAX BET I personally think is a little crappy of these sites. 

Set them low allowing players to raise the bet would be a much more player friendly way of doing this. Obviously never spend what you can't afford. But for the casual player I feel it's easy to get caught by accident. 


Maybe this is just me.

Completely agree with you, mate. I think your story will sound very familiar to a lot of people. But let’s be honest, slots are basically the road to a zero bankroll ;) As for max bet on slots, I probably haven’t run into that for quite a while now. But I definitely remember it happening before. Usually I’m the opposite. I tend to increase the bet rather than play the one the slot suggests -.-

I do my best to keep off slots. Unless I have a decent month at work lol. Only because even if I win I just put it back on. 


I do enjoy the spinning. The worst is the ones that almost give you a bonus game every few spins. I need to hit that bonus 🤣


I try to not keep a large bankroll on most my apps. Usually just put on what I need for a tournament plus a second buy in. Specifically so I don't rage spin.

Where do you spin the slots then? On poker sites?

Mostly on poker sites. Although poker sites aren't just poker sites anymore. 888 for instance have casino app. Sports app etc. although these can all be used directly via 888 poker app anyway. Ggpoker again has casino , slots etc . So poker sites are not just poker sites mostly they are an all in one now. 

Although I have about 10 apps.  Coral , paddy power, ladbrokes etc.  most of these I don't even add money to. I literally use just for the free spins and free bonuses . There are so many you don't even need to add money. All though I was kicked from William hill and sky because I kept winning on free spins. As I never topped up much via actual bank I was kicked for not apparently using there sites as intended. 


Personally I feel that is a separate blog and I was fuming at that. So just heads up. Take out winnings and top the account back up occasionally from a bank account. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gambling addiction is real and the industry has only just taken some very small steps to try and prevent problem gambling. Like you said with explaining the skill side of poker , it can feel less like gambling than other forms but it IS still gambling. If you happen to get bad beat - load up a $2 cash game and punt  a stack or something. Please never go back to those god awful slots that are just "NOT FUN" and are designed to keep you clicking for as LONG AS POSSIBLE.  Good luck at the POKER TABLES! all the best
