Thanks for the welcome!
 
I can understand why there could be no correlation between experience and results with roulette.
 
And my games have never hit 0 (like maybe once over-all) so I wouldn't agree that 0 hits more online. At least not on the sites I've been using.

While I enjoyed your comparisons, I don't think any of them are directly applicable. I see it as something like this. Netent has a solid product, they sell it to second parties who then offer the product (the games) to third parties (us). If Netent is the product, the casinos are the commercial store we go to. You don't want the store to have dirty windows, poor customer service, and slow check-out lines. I don't think it's Netent's responsibility to make the changes to the T&C or CS of the casinos we choose to play at. Who should we point the finger at?

That was a very open-hearted message from you, coco. I think you accurately captured the "vicious circle" that we all end up getting caught in to some degree. And I second your wish that it would be to easy to break for everyone. This thread is a very important and real side of the difficulties of being a gambler. 

I like your idea of starting a forum post about 3 month winnings/ losings and people can choose to post if they want, whether it be a really good three month pool or a losing three month streak. Even some people who hardcore play online don't keep careful track of the end balance (probably because they'd rather not know). This thread could encourage people to stop and check where they're at every few months. Since you thought of it I say you make it, honestdude! 

I'm sorry Nicole if you feel ganged up on. It's just that most people who have been playing for years, like you say you have, already know what their niche is, win and loss cycle, etc. Some people need that extra push to step out of gambling for a while. If you're losing money more money than you feel comfortable with, maybe you could take a break? You say your friends are gamblers, too. Maybe you could play some table games with them or switch to playing for free for a while. 

Thanks, I'm digging the tournaments right now! I'll try the black jack but I'm luckier at roulette

Aaaaaaaand 150 winnings for me how did everyone else make out?

Thanks! I'm not 10th place like casperito but I am on the leader board. I will provide details after the event ends. Today is the last day, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to come out a winner

I see what you mean, there's a banner for the Goldfish bonanza tournament at Betvoyager here. They are generally known for having no-zero roulette. Since I already have an account, I just signed up for the tournament

OMG! Guns N Roses have not been good to you Princess?
 
I'll send one of my 'boys' to give those boys a pep talk.
They must give due respect to a Princess...any Princess...and give her good wins!
 
Maybe someone else can also send one of their 'boys' too...pep talk them...that Afi needs a good win too!

Avoiding all Netent games will end your struggles

Yes, I think skill-based games will be a big hit! I think a lot of people are drawn to games that have a luck-skill element. It is human nature to want to think that we have a hand in determining our fate. We want to attribute our success to our skill and hard work and blame losing on bad luck. The skill element is why poker is so wildly popular. It's not just the luck of the cards but how you play your hand. Furthermore, lots of people are familiar with games like tetris, candycrush, etc. If we could incorporate the familiarity of these games we are good at with the excitement of gambling, it would be wildly successful.

I don't know much about London, but I think one of the forum admins (coco) is from the UK so she might be able to comment. I just wanted to comment on what a posh phrase "betting parlor" is. You would never hear a term like that in America haha

Funny how experience is subjective. These forums are like a yelp for casinos. The casino might have a 4.5 star overall rating, but there are going to be those who have slow service and give it a 1. As for the slot in general, it's okay to me. I enjoy the pick your song element. 

Are you Bulgarian? I've been all over Bulgaria! Burgas, Sofia, Varna, the lakes.. It was a beautiful trip
 
Happy Easter, everyone!

I would vote for you if that were a thing! You are an infinite pool of knowledge. All hail President of Malta!!
