"In reality, we don't know how much money it takes to win the jackpot on a slot machine. Many people may tell you how much they've won, but they often leave out most of the facts about the process, including how much money they had to bet to win that $100. Sometimes, even when they've lost money, some people will lie to save face and claim they broke even.
Truly, in the real world, almost everyone is on the same boat and tends to exaggerate their winnings while downplaying their losses. However, there are a few winners. These are the most valuable assets for any casino. They can't afford to let all their customers leave in frustration, so a lucky few walk away with winnings and then share the story with friends and family, perpetuating the cycle. They think they can hit the jackpot and walk away.
We all have to accept the fact that the gambling industry is built on mathematics. The house takes a certain percentage of every dollar wagered on slot machines and slowly siphons off the remaining funds through reward cycles. What keeps slot machine players hooked is hope, no matter how distant it may be. It's only when we've emptied our wallets that reality sets in, and we suddenly realize our wallets are lighter than before. Then we say, ""Oh, I broke even.""
Whether it's slot machines or baccarat, we are all deceiving ourselves. Even when we've lost a lot, we feel like we're winning every time. If we were to keep track of the money diligently, I believe we would all see that we're actually losing." |
