Slot design

[Flatzem]

slots could be designed to pay at least your stake back when giving a win instead of having many of those losses disguised as wins. 

if you are playing with sound on then you get hit with the win sound for a result that can be less than your stake for that spin plus on many slots you get the word WIN flash on the screen. even though its actually a loss.... you stake 1eur/1us/1gbp and you get a 0.20 return why does the slot have to say WIN and play a happy tune.. just tricks the brain subconsciously even though it should really say LOSS 0.80.

Just think the difference this would make to slots where you would get 8 out of 10 spins dead, and 20% would be equal or profit spins.

These days you get about 62% dead spins, 20 % Losses disguised as wins, 1% equal and the rest is profitable spins. (Bonanza for example)

 

on table games you get at least your money back when its a push, but on slots you can get as little as 5% return and its considered a "WIN"

bet 0.20 stake, return 0.01, you lost 0.19 in reality.

Game designers are psychologically treating all players as morons...show them WINs and make them happy...don't make them realise its all LOSSes...and they'll come back again and again for more HAPPY WINs. Nobody wants to come back for more HAPPY LOSSes right? 

You know they are losses but still come back for more and more? They have made you a HAPPY MORON!!!

As of last week, providers been told to stop the below Meant no slow spins for the scatters in DOA, amongst other things. 

Pretty much madness here in terms of online slots; my next sign up will be a semi respectable non UK casino at this rate; on the balance of risk/reward 

Now got a stupid widget that tells u how much u have lost in the game: on a game by game basis so if you go into DOA with 20 quid, have 2 quid left we all apparently need a box on the game that tells you that you are £-18

• sounds or imagery which give the illusion of a win when the return is in fact equal to, or below, a stake.
