So what do you think, just coincidence, or a little design magic to keep us hooked? I know they’ll say it’s all fair and random, but you can’t tell me the devs didn’t factor this in when making the game. After all, nothing keeps a gambler glued to the screen like almost winning.
i also think of it too. i believe that everything is based on programming, if it was not programmed that way, maybe everyone would have been wining always. and that will result to total lost to the casino. in every casino there is always a "near miss" and this will increase the level at which they will make profit. moreover every business person must surely look for a strategy that will increase his profit over loss and i think this the main reason why casino was programmed that way to make more money.
The goal of casinos isn't to make it easy for players to win; their goal is to profit. Instead, they cleverly manipulate players' emotions and psychology, so that when they lose, they're tempted to gamble again, leading to more deposits at the casino, and the cycle continues. For those without discipline, it's difficult to stop.
If casinos were programmed or rigged from the start, there's nothing wrong with them, as they're also seeking profit. Those who lose a significant amount of money can't help but accept it.
