Anyone else seem to be in a big gambling slump at the moment? It feels like I haven't hit anything decent in months. I even tried the arcade the other day to see if it was just bad online, again proper shite. Well you gotta roll with the bad times as well as the good, but this slump is taking its sweet time to pick up.

Paul lad. I feel you because usually, once a year I go on a good run on the slots and that never really happened last year. So I had a slump spanning back from summer 2021. It was annoying as hell. I had some alright wins but nothing that you could write home about or make you minted for a short period of time. I know I can't win big all the time but it was nice to streak or run hot one month of each year.

You just have to persevere or have a little break. I've just recently streaked again, over £3k in profit but its been nearly 2 years since this happened. If you have your favourite slots, try different ones, you never know. Peaks and troughs Paul....too many troughs. Don't try to force it and stay away from the arcades. Biggest waste of money going when you look at the x potential.

I had a crazy run on crypto and UK casinos the last 2 weeks most of it from DOA2

Wise words, wise words, thank you. It warms the insides to hear someone winning for a change, congrats.

I really don't mind losing (and that's what deposit limits are there for lol) but it grinds on me a bit when i feel like i ain't getting my moneys worth from playing, even on low volatility games. 300 spins for a steam tower bonus to pay 32X is taking the p a bit (and that was probably my best bonus all week) to name one of the latest triggering moments lol.

And as for Arcades, I forgot why I stopped going in them in the first place, but was soon reminded. How for the love of decency can they have games with RTPs under 80% (was an old school partytime machine), thats just downright robbery, the UKGC should really look into that.. But the way I see that arcade trip was, that was the worst, most expensive cup of coffee I'll get this year and I don't want another one lol.

I can't believe how much time i wasted in life in the arcades. Horrible, grim, feeding the machines with coins or notes...........Ew. I wish I had the mentality I have now, 20 years ago. I wouldn't be wasting hours and hours sat at a slot machine. 

Free drinks and a sandwich......lol. Stay away from the arcades Paul. Evil. 

I agree, when slotting there's nothing worse than not having your moneys worth, e.g. nothing bonuses and your balance declines without a boost. When that happens, fuck the slots, find something else to do and come back a week later.

In May I lost about $1500 and got a lot of bonuses but all pay low, but one good thing about crypto is you can send the same deposit from casino to casino without paying any fees, when I see I am losing I swap casino

 paul1980   Slots are really hard work the now, the only thing good for me is I'm getting bonuses, so at least I'm having a bit of fun, but nothing wants to pay..  Hope all our luck changes soon..

You're not alone—many people experience slumps in gambling. It can be really frustrating when nothing seems to go your way. Sometimes taking a break or trying a new strategy can help. Just remember to gamble responsibly and not let it impact your well-being. Good luck, hope your luck turns around soon!
