I've made more than $1.000 playing poker in less than a month but i am slot degenerate addict, so when i won money i play slots and lose em all 😭
Btw i am not only playing slots online, i mostly play in land based casinos and i am more than $4.000 in debt because of stupid slots. (please note my monthly wage is about $450-500 because i live in small Eastern European country)
If i only just played poker i would cashed out $1.000 and at least i would have payed my credit card.
i play on GGPoker mostly and there is option to block live casino and casino games and i am not doing it because i hope i can win big fast money without sweating.
I dont know what to do i am feeling that i betrayed myself and the game of poker in which i am very passionate.
I work in small casino (slot club) as a cashier and when someone loses big amount of money i am advicing them to learn and play poker instead of slots (i guess i am ambassador of the game 😀) but i am negating myself when i can't control myself to not play slots.
Btw i started playing poker about 7 years ago when i was searching on google for games of luck that are more dependant on skill (at that time i was waking up and going to bed just for poker, even tho i am winning more money playing poker now for me my biggest achievement is from that age when i won and finished two times third and once 12th place in freerolls in the same night 4/4 ITM), at that time i was addicted to slots but poker helped me to not play slots for few years and even i looked at people playing slots as no brainers but now its different story (I've won as a joke $3.000 on slots with just $2 few months ago and that messed up my brain) because i play slots to win big money and pay my debt.
I lost my last $26 in GGPoker 1 hour ago playing slots instead of poker and i feel that there is not hope for me.

I like to play slots, but I play when I have bonuses, I don't use my money. It's addictive

I would highly recommend on contacting support , nothing wrong with a little slot play but when it escalates like you describe I think it would be a good decision to block yourself from the casino lobby by contacting the suppport

I'm going to assume that you have some level of intelligence. Since you also work in a slot club, you probably know that the RTP (return to player) is always negative for the player.
There are no opportunities for influence. You can only press the button and hope to get lucky. A blueprint in losing money. If you still have more than 2 brain cells left, stop with that crap. Stick to poker.

If you can't let it go at all, seek professional help. Don't ruin your life with this shit.

Seek for professional help. You can't win in slots and you will lose more money. You can lose more than money

Slots bonuses are usually quite crap through. For example when deposits having 1* wager requirement is probably understandable then the same cant be said about free spins winnings having 35* wager requirement lol ...

It's all very bad. I also like to play slot machines or blackjack from time to time, sometimes I can bet on sports, but it's more like entertainment. I don't hope to win money, I just want to enjoy the process and the emotions I get. I just set aside a certain amount per month that won't affect my financial situation if I lose it, but if I win, I also stop playing right away because I don't need the excitement. It's better to win a little and leave the casino right away than to play for a long time hoping to win a lot, in which case you will definitely lose everything.

If you enjoy playing then it is worth it. If however you think that you have a problem, and cannot stop doing it by yourself, I'd suggest you contact a psychologist to help you quit.

Slots are very addictive and can turn into a big financial problem. I've seen this often.
As you well know, you cannot be on positive balance on the longrun, so you should quit (with professional help if needed)

Flashing lights, big jackpots on offer. The excitement of playing a bonus game. Just one more spin. There is only one winner and as you have found out. It's not going to be you.

You should discuss it with a specialist or a family member, they can block your accounts or set a limit, in the casino losses are more than profits and if you are not in control it is better not to play.

friend, last year I went through this same situation, I lost everything I had in poker, but most of it was with sports betting, and it was several times.
in my opinion when a human being wants from the bottom of his heart, he gets whatever.
At the beginning of the year I wrote here on CC, telling my defeats and also declaring and committing myself that this would never happen to me again, and so far I'm fulfilling it and feeling very good.
writing our statement gets much stronger.
I think you could give it a try, all help is appreciated.
I'm rooting for you.

You can always keep playing slots if you are having fun or donate your money for a good cause.

I myself have lost poker money in the casino more than once. This is a serious illness. If there is no family, then start it, it is better for children to buy something with this money.

The only thing that wins at slot games is the computer in the long run. I've had one or two big hits... but I just find poker much more relaxed and clearer.

I think you should keep it as a hobby and set some daily limits for your account. Just because there is a big jackpot flashing before your eyes does not mean you will get it. You know casinos always win. You might get lucky but since you work in one, you should know better what are your odds. So, IMHO, stick with poker and just use small amounts for a few spins a day.

Man, you can't win against a program that gives you what it wants, you can't make decisions there like you do in poker when you play against a human not against a computer, slots seem to me the biggest possible scams, in slots you win once and lose 10 times, you should know best by working there how to win and for how long, leave the slots and play poker where you have much more chances to cover your debts... anyway, it's a stupid to borrow money to play games. Try to calm down, you are in a situation that puts pressure on you and I know from my own experience that when you are under pressure from certain debts it is not very easy to cover them from games, it is better to ask the help of your family to help you cover those debts than to do more harm

Sadly. But it's good that you shared your situation with us. gambling addiction is a big problem for many gamblers. I think you just need to gather courage and seek help from a psychologist. I am sure that there are specialists who can help you.

Each machine has its own approach, but you need to play more than one slot machine, and alternately on several. This will give you much more chances of success than playing on one machine. Remember one simple principle of a sound player - won - leave. Those who, after winning, continue to play, hoping for more, they always leave with nothing. After getting acquainted with poker, the desire to play slot machines automatically disappeared.

I think more or less like the citizen above, I never believed in slot games, they are prohibited here in Brazil and for good reason. You've known poker for years, apparently you even know how to play, why count on luck spinning little things? Don't do that.
