Kind of fun. Refreshing. I won more here than in real life. I don't normally play slots.

Cherokee Nation has several places in the NE part of OK. I do enjoy the slots, but I like the interactive one. I enjoyed this one online but would have liked to know what had to "hit" to win credits. I guess I like to know the "rules" of the game. As to being in a zone --- well up to a point. I have learned when to quit. I don't bet the bill money, I budget my recreation into my budget (so much per week). If I win - then I have more to play with - when I lose my allotment - I walk. That is the key. Know how much and when to quit

No, I never got into the zone for two reasons:
1. I didn't know which symbols I needed to win a spin. "It's hard to play the game if you don't know the rules!"
2. The design of early slot machines showed only the three payoff symbols (which your machine did). Today's slot machines now show not only the payoff line but also the symbols of the line above and the line below the payoff line. That way players can see that they "just missed" getting a payoff.

No zone...but like listening to your show. Most always gets me to thinking.

It really seemed that the wins came more often when betting three coins than when betting one. I began to think you had set the game to take the player's money at one coin but to be a slightly winning game with three coins, as my three-coin game kept going on and on.

I was in a sort of zone.

But in the end the money still all went into the machine. And my dopamine receptors whispered to me that I'd better go look for a different game if I want to get more.

Thanks for letting us get a visceral sense of what the gamblers experience, in a safer setting.

Just like the real thing the losses buried the few wins. That's a good thing. I never get enough positive feedback from gambling to keep me coming back. I don't want to restrict anything but in my experience casinos and gambling are bad medicine. Good show, though.

I played once, won 30 credits (which means I more than doubled my money), and cashed out.
That's how I play real slots too -- play a short time until I win some money and then quit. I don't care what might've been if I'd kept going. It's not "fun" but it works.

I used to work designing casinos. Slot machines make up to $70,000 a year per machine, depending on the location. They are designed to take your money, and in my opinion should be outlawed because you have no control over the outcome other than dropping a coin(so to speak) and placing a bet. I guess it's like betting the horses, but at least in racing you can do research, know the horse, etc. like you can try playing black jack. Ever wonder why casinos don't like players counting cards? Because you are in control. You are not in control with the slots.

I'm developing an appetite for the show. Very well done. Takes me to interesting places. The slots game was a pleasant diversion. Left with 27 credits. I'm rich, I'm rich!

No zone for me, but great show!
