casablancajackpot Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 so, we’ve all heard those old wives' tales about slot machines, like 'the one with progressive jackpots like mega moolah basically never pays out the big jackpots'. even tho OBV there have been huge wins too what’s the craziest slot myth you’ve heard? anyone got stories or facts to bust these myths once and for all?

Olaf Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 yeah, i’ve heard that one too. the one that always gets me is when people say online slots are "due" for a win after a long losing streak. that’s just not how they work! each spin is totally independent. it’s all random number generators, so thinking you can time it is just silly. but i guess it’s an easy trap to fall into if you’re not really familiar with how they function. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlyattachedjackpot Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I know, right? People also love to say that playing at certain times of the day increases your chances of winning online. Like, really? Slots don’t care if it’s morning or night. They’re not on a schedule. I’ve won in the early morning and lost late at night. It’s all about luck.

juxtol Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Heard one where folks believe online casinos change payout percentages on weekends. That’s not how it works. Those percentages are set and can’t be changed on a whim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winbigdiana Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The notion that an online slot that just paid out a jackpot won't pay out again for a long time is another common myth. While the probability is low, it's not impossible for the same machine to hit another jackpot shortly after. The key thing to understand is that each spin is an independent event, governed by a random number generator, ensuring that the outcome of each spin is unrelated to previous spins.

Nebro7 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Another one I’ve heard is that you can "trick" the online slots by using certain betting patterns. People swear by this, but it’s just another myth. Slots don’t have memory or patterns—they’re purely based on random chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskoffsointoyou Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 It’s funny how many people think pressing the button a certain way or at a specific moment will influence the result online. It’s completely random! Timing or how you press the button has zero effect on the outcome. It’s all about luck, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwidowgoof Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 omg i had a friend who thought rubbing the screen would help. like what? it’s not a genie lamp, it’s an online slot. nothing you do physically to the screen will change the outcome.

harrypotterheartless Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 my uncle always says you should never play the online slots on the homepage because they never pay out. he thinks casinos do this to make people see others losing and get discouraged. not sure if that's true or just another myth.

foreveralonefortune Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I heard that too! 😆 Some people really believe the wildest things about online slots. I guess casinos must be super tricky to keep all these "secrets" in place. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysteryjokersorrow Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 people just want to believe they have some control over it. it's comforting to think there are tricks and tips that can help you win, but really, it's all down to luck and randomness. believing otherwise just sets you up for disappointment.

pewdiepietom Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 People also think online slots are rigged worse than land-based ones. Not true. Regulated online casinos are fair. The randomness is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casinoroyalequinn Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 It’s also hilarious how some folks believe that if someone wins big on an online slot, that machine is "hot" and will keep paying out. It’s all random! Just because one person got lucky doesn’t mean the next person will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatifisaidslots Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Can’t believe people still think you can beat the system by betting max coins every spin. It doesn’t increase your odds. Just your potential winnings if you do hit something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novix30 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 yeah, those myths are persistent because they play into people's hopes and dreams. thinking there's a secret to winning makes it seem more attainable. but the reality is, it's all about random luck. accepting that can actually make the experience more enjoyable and less stressful.

frimte Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Right? It’s like thinking you can predict the weather by looking at the sky. Sometimes you get it right, but most of the time, it’s just a guess. 🎰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigglefritz Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 another myth is that online slots are programmed to pay out more during holidays or special events. people think casinos want to lure in more players by having more winners. not true at all.

Ralvo3 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I once heard that if you play an online slot right after a service tech works on it, you’re more likely to win. The idea being that it’s "reset" or something. It’s complete nonsense. The RNG ensures that every spin is independent, regardless of when the machine was last serviced.

portaljoke9 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 haha i heard that one too. like the tech is sprinkling magic dust in there or something. it’s all just random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kivronex05 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 It's crazy how many myths there are. Some people think online casinos pump in extra oxygen to keep you playing longer. As if that has anything to do with slot outcomes. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woqibrant99 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 People just want to believe in something that gives them an edge. It's part of the allure. But in the end, it's all just luck and chance. No magic, no tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 it’s also ridiculous when people say that online casinos control the wins based on how much money you’ve already spent. like, they’re keeping track of each player and manipulating outcomes? it’s all automated and random, people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlyattachedjackpot Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Exactly! The algorithms are set and regulated. If online casinos could control wins and losses that way, they’d be shut down immediately. People just need to understand the basics of how these games work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juxtol Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Heard some people think using a VPN changes their luck. Seriously? VPN doesn’t alter random number generators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winbigdiana Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 That’s a new one. I’ve heard of players thinking VPNs can give them access to better payout games from different regions, but it’s all the same. The randomness is consistent across the board, no matter where you’re playing from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
