That?s because the house always has the edge. Even with a 97% RTP and some slots paying even lower, the built-in advantage means we can never truly beat them if we play consistently. It?s by design. Slots are fun for a reason, and the crazy part is, people still call them fun even though most of us end up losing.

Sure in general that is true, but individual cases can happen. You can beat the only casino if you get out once you get very lucky. This happens very rarely, people just continue to play in most cases.

That?s why we can?t beat the casino in the long run. Even if we hit a big win, we?ll still come back and play again, and sooner or later the law of averages will kick in and we?ll lose. But even though we know that, as gamblers we still believe in luck. Since we get so much entertainment from gambling, even when we lose, we still keep coming back.

That?s the beauty of responsible gambling .. we can enjoy it for the long term, even if we lose in the long term.

It's the law of diminishing returns, the more we play the high the chance that we are going to lose because of the house edge.

And I do agree about the responsible gambling mantra, everyone should have total control of themselves not to fall for the trick of casinos. If we made like 2x of our initial capital then get out of it.

Otherwise, like the 'near miss' psychology, if we keep on chasing it in because we have a feeling that we just need one spin in order to hit that bonus round, then it might take as long for a ride and before we knew it, we've lost everything in that slot machine.

In fact, this is what leads us to create chaos. I understand that it is very difficult to win and I simply limit my bets. I cannot stay playing all day because I know that the bank will win sooner or later and take everything away from me. Until you understand that the bank always wins, you will never have the chance to win really.
