UKGC Have ruined slots

[Xappy300]

Just wanting to air my frustration with UKGC. They have now removed stop spins from every single casino and every single slot machine for UK. Sorry but how is that helping problem gamblers? that's right it's not. Instead what it does is make it harder to win. Don't tell me that stop spins are no different than regular spins. 80% or more of me landing the bonus or hitting big wins has been on stop spins, it gives the player a fairer chance at landing something nice.  Now slots have been ruined for me, you can't stop spin any slot? sorry but that is just ridiculous. They know damn well that it just makes it harder to win. How is that helping problem gamblers when slots still allow you to do £100 spins??? Absolutely ridiculous.

They are simply weeding out smaller players who can afford to spend maybe £100 in a session, meanwhile streamers that can sit all day doing £5+ per spin until they hit a massive win are not affected. UKGC have done absolulety nothing to help problem gamblers. Oh and making you wait 2-2.5 seconds now per spin, that just makes the games less enjoyable. That is literally  zero benefit to any player. Don't tell me that problem gamblers will spend less because they have to  wait a fraction of a second longer per spin, that's absolutely ludicrous.

So yeah I'm really annoyed about the new rules. As I said it's simply making it more difficult to win and that is exactly why UKGC have done what they have. I would set up a petition to revert these changes but seems I've seen no one else complain about it. Looks like it may be time to quit casino forever for me.

Perhaps that's the best thing to do. Can't ever expect casinos or slots to revert back to how they were years ago - that's simply not going to happen. A further down slide, yes, back to the top, no!

Look at all the games nowadays, especially the newer ones. Their paytables and win values of their symbols have reached seabed bottom - incredibly low paying win values. Top paying symbols paying 10x the total bet, or less, when they used to be 100x or more. Wild and Scatter symbols are also now non-paying, or paying a fraction of what they used to. RTPs are on the way down too, but even at 96.6%, the payouts are being 'regulated' by additional new programs, such as A.I.s. Now players are being 'blinded' by more winning lines for all those tiny win values of the symbols - yeah, they call it Megaways...117,000 ways to win, when you can hardly even get a 100-lines win!

In short, I have become so disgusted with literally 99% of all slots by now and am on my way out. Yep, hoping to quit playing slots soon enough - they are just not worth my time and money. Worse comes to worse, I'd only play on my very few favourite oldie games and avoid all the rest, just to keep my slotting urges at bay.
