So, I recently had this funny experience while playing a casino game a friend recommended  and I decided to deposit some funds into the game. Second spin boom! I won a good amount. I was so happy, already planning my victory dance and thinking about cashing out immediately.
But then, this tiny voice in my head whispered, What if you spin again? I mean, if you won this much with just two spin, imagine how much more you could win. And like a true over optimistic person that I am, I listened.
Spin after spin, I watched my winnings going down. Before I knew it, not only was my prize money gone, but the money I deposited also disappearing. And just when I was about to hit rock bottom, my very last spin miraculously won me a tiny token again. At that point, it felt like the universe was patting me on the shoulder, saying, Here, take this and stop fooling yourself 🤣

That little win was the slap my brain needed to reset. I immediately told myself to stop, Log out now before you start selling properties to fund the next spin
The funny thing is, I usually pride myself on being super calculative when it comes to gambling. I know when to stop, but that day? That day, I didn’t know what possessed me. Maybe it was the game hypnotizing me. Who knows?
One thing I’ve realized, though, is that casino games have this sneaky way of convincing you to continue spinning"just one more time." I can’t be the only one who’s fallen for that trap, right?

So, what's your experience with casino games? Do they whisper sweet things into your ear too, or is it just me?
Every gambler experience this and even more in a gambling session, you're lucky you made use of the last sanity in you to exit the casino, else the story would've been messy.

I also think that you need a principle on managing wins in a casino. Mine is to reset my balance to the initial deposit as soon as I clinch a significant win, this has helped me a lot to maintain my sanity while winning. Although I cannot claim to have perfectly followed it all the time, but it's helpful having such principles.

Such hypnotism begets addiction if you are not careful, the phrase "just one more time" has dealt with me lots of times and I wish I had the perfect solution to it, but we keep trying. It is also very good to only fund the casino with amounts you don't mind losing, and discipline yourself not to deposit more upon exhausting your deposit to mitigate against heavy financial loss when you loose control.
