What are your slot superstitions, urban myths and legends?

[Supababe]

I have several strange and crazy beliefs when I play certain slots and wondered if it might be fun to share any that other members may have.

There is no room for arguments or scientific evidence in this thread....please keep it light and fun.

So...

What are your slot superstitions, urban myths and legends?

1. I'll start off with sharing my belief about the slot 'Ted'. Put him on autospin and prod his tummy. Nearly always wakes him up.

2. Fast play never pays as well as doing it yourself.

3. Grim murito - Always pick blue skeleyon on your 1st near miss bonus for a guarenteed book.

4. Tickle pandas tummy in paws of fury for a random bonus.

Looking forward to reding some of yours x x

There's the new "3rd Scatter encouragement" system which I sit here doing most sessions - mainly DoA but also other games which have a "teaser" spin when awaiting the 3rd scatter.

1) Stare extra hard at each of the reels, nose virtually on the screen

Next 'tease'

2) Point at the reels - If It is a "3 reel teaser"( (C) Jon M book of slotting terminology 2003)

3rd reel - centre, 4th reel - top, 5th reel - bottom.

next tease

3) "no peaking" close eyes as tease starts and listen for that satisfying sound

I also have others which I'll post depending on the mockery I receive from the above

 

[goatwack]

With the two scatters- and desperation kicking in as I'm almost bust- I will actually point at the reel I need it to drop, muttering 'come on you c*nt', all the way along the strip.

I used to convince myself auto spins were bad and manual spins good and pure, up until getting 5 scatters and accompanying wonderhits using autospin.

This hasn't stopped my paranoia mind. if I lose on a particular session I'll blame myself for not having used the 'correct' method. (but manual spins pay more still)

I'd reload a game if doing badly on it. Doesn't really work.

Oh and I once wrapped my entire head in Asda tinfoil before playing DOA, still couldn't win diddly squat.

 

[TheAddict]

If using laptop i have for the past year after clicking start fs on doa move the cursor just to the left of where you click the start spins button. Trying to leave it as neat as possible to the side of it before the spins commence. If its not perfectly skilled into position once the 1st reel lands i concede to the fact i wont get a wl.

I also write off my balance as a lost cause and expect a crap punt with few bonus rounds if the first spin of the session on doa throws scatters on reelz 1 & 2, but misses all the rest.

Going through 40 wl & 6 lots of five scatters can mentally change a man.

Book Of Ra - if by a miracle a bonus round comes in, I never watch the symbol reveal.

Rhino - to start the even rarer bonus rounds, I always click the cursor on one of the diamonds (pink squares) in the start box.

Borenanza - always click on letter 's' of 'start' and think of adjectives like 'stunning', 'super' or 'sensational' to describe the forthcoming vile bonus round, and inevitably end up with 'shit', 'substandard' or 'shocking'.

Jungle Spirit - on the heartstopper I always say 'pretty pink flower, pretty-please' to make it come in.

I still lose.

 

[Supababe]

Fantastic posts so far! Thank you.... either I’m NOT crazy, or you are all as crazy as me and we need locking up lol

Dunover, I too speak nicely to flowers, elephants and fireflies in Jungle spirit.....

 

[Jono777]

Forgot to mention I also circle the wilds on DoA as they drop with the cursor. (has to be clockwise)

1 x for reel one, twice for reel 2 and so on, leaving pointer in centre of the last wild which landed.

Couldn't keep up for the first time ever just now

See DoA thread, ended with 10 wilds IIRC was too busy wetting myself to capture screen shot

Does that make you left-handed? the natural way for a right-hander to circle the mouse is anti-clockwise?

No matey just a little eccentric from time to time

 

[goatwack]

I just remembered something I do when playing Spinions, and I've never told anyone this. If the two scatters drop in, for some reason I'll obscure the screen view by holding my right hand just in front of me, so as not to see the outcome. Think David Blaine.

I know it's crazy right, I mean who plays Spinions

I recall now also, hang on to your seats here folks, how I used to have thing for DOA's third scatter. I'd not look at the screen and await that 'clink' which, for the most part, would never come

I'd also convince myself resting the cursor in and around certain segments of a game would yield better results when getting hammered. It's had varying success, but whenever I'd get a good position the slot would suss it out, and I'd have to find that next 'sweet spot'. I hate it when games have a memory

 

[BrianGhattas]

I don’t have any myths but I recall a slots streamer who once in awhile does a myth busters session. All those people looking for a handout submit their myths to that other message board.

My only belief in regards to slots is that there’s one big winner daily on each slot. In the waning minutes of May 4, 2017 I was the lucky bloke in getting my 5000x win in Viking Runecraft.

 

[Cyclops]

No fast play

I don't play quickly I press the spin when it suits and try not to do it in any particular way

 

[AlexJamesSmith]

Some of mine (which I swear by - anyone who tells me otherwise is WRONG! ) include...

1) NetEnt's Streamtower ALWAYS drops 2 or 3 bonuses in a short space of time for me.

2) When I get a bonus round on Bonanza, I'll increase the volume on my phone second-notch away from top! (And if I don't get a win the first spin, I'll assume I 'messed up', and will change the vollumne once per spin until I hit a win lol)

3) Not so much a superstition - confirmed fact - Quickspin games are controlled manually by an operator. Every time you play, he or she determines whether you win or lose! (Semi-satire )

Not sure if they signify strong superstitions, or an underlying mental illness in my case lol!

lol i to, do a similar thing

 

[greylady]

I must have become so accustomed to losing that when I get the feature scatters appear, I walk off to make a coffee and tell myself what's the point in staying as it's only going to disappoint me

 

[BillyGoldblum]

After I deposit I sit there and stare at my balance for a few minutes admiring it because I know it wont get above that number after I click my first spin

 

[Webzcas]

If autoplay is enabled, I always have to play in blocks of 100 or 50 spins ALWAYS. In hope that within each block of 100 or 50 spins I will hit the feature. I then note which spin the feature does come in on. Stupid I know.

 

[toph11]

if you get 2 scatter tease and the third one peaks straight away
you will never get the 3 scatter trigger

 

[Jono777]

Also....

On a teaser (reels 1 & 2) which fails, watch how often next spin you get scatter on reel 3 LOTS of games do this.

 

[goatwack]

I will continue to play the same slot after not just one, but two or three good bonuses in succession, mainly because we're always told slots are random.

This is before I discovered every session has a glass ceiling

Also, I'll purposely avoid older games when a company releases a new title, because as we know they want everyone to play those instead. Fact.

Lol just had to laugh at thought of you sitting prodding his tummy and also tickling the panda. But if it works for you good luck.

Just so glad you never played at that pornhub casino that had threads in here or god knows what you would be poking and rubbing on there

 

[geordiecolin]

My only superstition is to always type the same number in the "if cash decreases by" box. Am I the only one to do that?

You gotta love that RG tool. Most people will type any random number and about eight digits long. And when by chance you have reached that loss limit, the game will just......stop

Brilliantly helpful aid

 

[Steviedoo]

i never deposit money when my previous leftover balance was 17 cents, ie there was 17 cents leftover from either a cashout or bust session. usually a bust session. lol.

17 is bad luck...

i play it down then deposit....

If using laptop i have for the past year after clicking start fs on doa move the cursor just to the left of where you click the start spins button. Trying to leave it as neat as possible to the side of it before the spins commence. If its not perfectly skilled into position once the 1st reel lands i concede to the fact i wont get a wl.

Its something i subconsciously do too and only realise it after a few bonus rounds. The cursor must always be neatly positioned

My only superstition is to always type the same number in the "if cash decreases by" box. Am I the only one to do that?

On DOA I always put in 444444444444 or 55555555555 - I have hit a wildline before with that - Whats stopping me from getting one again ....

Do you mean... you type the ‘decrease by’ amount to match your balance? Yeah, that makes my games luckier too! Lol

 

[TheAddict]

Do you mean... you type the ‘decrease by’ amount to match your balance? Yeah, that makes my games luckier too! Lol

I always put in 3500, even though my starting balance is pretty much always between 15 to 40, and ive never actually had a 3500 balance. I want it to think in advance that im prepared to risk that much , and that because its fooled into a false sense of security with my trap it should be more eager to return the compliment on my massive 9p bets

 

[geordiecolin]

Do you mean... you type the ‘decrease by’ amount to match your balance? Yeah, that makes my games luckier too! Lol

No. I always type in 777. If I accidentally type 7777 then I take back one. Other than that I can't say I have any rituals other than the nerves when my balance reaches less than a fiver and I'm met with "your balance is low do you wish to deposit" at some casinos ( casino's)

 

[goatwack]

I always type in 666 for my decrease limit. It never seems to work, plus strange things keep happening around the house

Hey ho

 

[geordiecolin]

I used to insist on using 080808 but I then used to go to bed starving of hunger

 

[Supababe]

Well my latest myth is about Hugo 2.

Currently have 2 crazy thoughts:

1. In main game if I click the poop out of the railway signal to the left the beavers usually appear. Nog always 3 but sure enough you’ll see at least one!

2 my sacred combo for the witch bonus... stone 2, stone 6, stone 9 (you lose a life here regardless), middle key.


One reason I started this thread was a couple of days ago, playing red tiger on mobile I had a strange glitch during spins. A glowing circle pointer appeared wherever I clicked. If I pressed the character/ feature picture, 8/10 times it awarded a random bonus. Obviously if you tried it on every spin it wouldn’t work (I kind of imagine it’s like the driving perception test; too many clicks in __ seconds).

I bet you’re all deffo questioning my mental sanity now aren’t you? Lol

 

[dave1888]

On Prissy Princess if your knight places keep picking him until the very end then change to other knight i won a battle doing this

 

[Jd666]

I light up a cig everytime I get the bonus on Bonanza......

I have now managed to quit

 

[Nate]

Epic :notworthy

Nate

 

[AlexJamesSmith]

Hahaha this made me laugh, I do exactly this. And if I'm smoking when I get the bonus - even if I've just started the cig - I'll chuck it, and start a fresh one just for the bonus round

 

[Webzcas]

This is before I discovered every session has a glass ceiling

It feels like some slots I play have a ceiling made of 10 inch thick concrete, surrounded by a layer of lead and a foot of steel for good measure.

 

[mcgameboy]

If I trigger a bonus round, I mutter "OK do your worst, you f*cking rigged up c*nt of a game".

If it doesn't pay, I can mutter to myself "what a fucking obedient little f*cking rigged up c*nt of a game you are"

And if it does pay, I can mutter to myself "that's what you get for being disobedient, you f*cking disobedient rigged up c*nt of a game"

Also, on a slightly more serious note, when I am playing at MG Viper Client casinos, I look at the temp rating thing beside each game in my favourites tab and if a game has a temp rating of 999.0, I will absolutely, definitely NOT play it. In fact, the lower the temp, the more likely I am to choose that game.

 

[Jono777]

The day I made the biggest mistake ever, wedding anniversary lol

Actually stood their and said "Yeah" instead of "I Do!"

 

[BrianGhattas]

I guess I do have a myth. This applies to slot machines in an actual casino, though. I really believe slot machines prefer the female touch and will give out higher wins to the ladies. They also love homosexual men judging from the large number of YouTube slot players with that sexual orientation.

 

[slot_zombie]

Really? You've never mentioned it.. lol

 

[slot_zombie]

That's where I've been going wrong all these years. Anyone for a bit of cottaging followed by 1000x on Bonanza?

 

[satchnz]

Old thread I know, but I was just thinking about this subject and was about to start a new thread before I discovered this existing one.

Here’s mine. I must have won once after my mildly OCD personality did this, but I try to place the cursor as close to the centre as possible in the spin circle of a slot. All this while sitting 3 metres away from a 50 inch TV using a small touch pad to control the mouse pointer…

I seem to win more often when I do this but in reality it makes no difference.
