slots machines

whats the deal

i always lose

how do people sit there all day and win

Most don't win. There's no worse thing than finally having a good bonus round, and everyone around congratulating you on maybe getting back some of your original investment. But it's far from winning. Just like sports betting everyone talks up the great wins, and maybe a bad beat. But will stay quiet when they were on the blown out wrong side of a wager. I know I normally don't win. But I have good moments. But I can squeeze hours of play out of it, and earn my comps.   

Most sports wagers have around a 1 times (-110) pay schedule. If you win one, your happy and celebrate and cash the ticket. When people play slots, when they double their money, say like be up to $200 on a machine with an original $100 investment. They keep playing. Most seem to always be looking for a hand pay (over $1200) before they call it a win. Or maybe a 5 or 6 times the original wager if talking smaller amounts. If that's the goal, it's probably easier to try and hit a 4 or 5 teamer at 11/1 or 22 /1 than to sit at the machines. With the bonus of not having to fill out tax paperwork if you hit one. But it's just as hard.

slots are the toughest machines to win at and I never get the comps
