Digital slot machines are video games

Digital slot machines are video games

no they're not you fucking gambling lobby kike stop trying to conflate the two

It literally is

Ewwwww what type of gacha is this? Where are the hot babes?

dropping $750 usd a spin

Wtf

The hot babes are all around you while you play

Imagine wiping those screens down at the end of the day

it's not a game because it doesn't have gameplay. you press the button you lose money.

So what if they are?

Well at least they look like they're having fun.

You just described every gacha game

There is no greater parasite on the human species than the boomer generation.

I hear radio commercials asking are you tens of thousands f dollars in debt, and wonder how that happens. I always forget people just gamble.

I used to work in a casino. The seats are LITERALLY covered in piss and shit at several times during the day, and the seats/screens need to be cleaned constantly because of it.

Insane geriatrics blowing their kids inheretiance on slot machines, while shitting and pissing themselves. Every single day the same old bastards would come in and spend thousands of dollars and not give one single fuck.

Artificial fun isn't real fun

actually they go to college

I know it never will be - due to how much cash it brings in - but gambling has to be made illegal everywhere in the US.

hurr let retards waste their money

It's not about the retards wasting their money, it's about the pieces of shit benefiting from it. Who the fuck do you think runs Las Vegas? It ain't natives.

who the fuck just has 20k to randomly drop on a slot?

also a form of gambling

actual video of me day trading

i agree but it's a slippery slope that will affect all types of games and probably ban some perfectly innocuous game mechanics like being able to play poker in rdr
gambling should not be promoted as a hobby or a pastime. it's an addiction like smoking that should be managed with non-destructive gaming.

Billionaires, which the guy in that video is not. He probably has the money, but he doesn't have enough to blow 20k like it's nothing. He's just terminally retarded. Why do you think Vegas looks like it does? There's tens of thousands of people just like this moron every year who go donate their entire net worth (and then some) to the casinos like it's a fuckin charity.

Correct

how old are you

What a world. What a life.

20k could completely change my life at this point

this decrepit piece of shit spent it in several minutes

for absolutely nothing

baby boomers are subhuman

yes but by that logic pretty much any commitment you can make in life is a gamble

degenerate gamblers can, and do, turn $500 into $2,000 into $10,000 into $20,000 into $80,000 into $200,000 and back to $500

just take solace in the fact that one 20 dollar game is enough money to feed a favela monkey for a month, which is why they constantly seethe about people buying games on steam

zoomers watch dumbasses gamble on slots with many gambling streamers having tens of thousands of viewers at a time

Why are retirees like his? Even back working retail as a teenager, they were the dumbest and the most needlessly rude out of any age group. Video games.

Found the Balatro thread

I really, really, really doubt we would ever end up in a situation where games like Balatro were banned from being sold in the US as long as they do not offer any tangible rewards. I guess some cocksucker could argue something like

you pay for the game and then as you play it you unlock these "jonklers" as they are called, giving the player an incentive to continue playing

But at that point you'd basically just be arguing to ban all non-F2P video games since it's not like an arcade machine where you have to pay to keep playing. You pay once and that's it. There's no cash rewards nor do you lose any money if you lose a run.
If a gambling ban drug down shit like lootboxes and MTX I'm all for it though.

I work for one of the big US sportsbooks as an engineer. It's hilarious how much they want you to drink the koolaid and convince you that you're making a cool product and not just a way to leech money from retards in exchange for nothing of value. It's just a platform of 50 abstractions to steal your money in more creative ways so you don't feel like you're being stolen from. All this "responsible gaming" shit is a sham. There is no responsible way to gamble at a casino.

It's hilarious how much they want you to drink the koolaid and convince you that you're making a cool product and not just a way to leech money from retards in exchange for nothing of value.

Is it to keep the last bits of their consciences?

Pensions gave them more money than they know how use during old age. Too old to travel, figure out new technology, even fix stuff up around the house. The only way they can figure to spend their excess money is to gamble at their local casino.

You act as though they had them from the start

boomers are and have always been cunts, they only got worse as they got older
you take an entire generation of assholes, give them everything they want their whole lives, making them narcissists
let them experience an insanely good job and housing market, making them think the world just runs on sunshine and rainbows
then let them grow old and see their kids struggle in a faltering economy, who then dare to blame them for some of the problems they're now facing
and now you've got the geriatrics currently ruining the USA in every way they can think of and being as spiteful as possible all the way to the bottom
i'm not sure there is a more misanthropic group of people on this planet right now than americans aged 70-90
i cannot fucking wait for them to be gone
even shitlennials will be more capable of running the economy, at least they're just incompetent rather than actively malicious

This is why people need a hobby or two instead of just having kids and/or working their lives away. My retired relatives have nothing going on at all, not even an internet addiction.

A lot of them decided to make politics their hobby. No serious input needed, just sit back and waste their remaining days in constant anger over inconsequential bullshit.

Honestly? I would say most of my coworkers are so retarded they already legitimately believed they were making a valuable product and didn't consider any morality at all.

we are real fucked up animals

have worked full time for 10 years because that's what you need to do to buy a house

still can't buy a house

May they burn in hell

I work in a gas station and I had a customer come in and scratch tickets for 7 hours.

He won 50 bucks.

50 bucks against how much spend?

So mcdonalds touch menus are too?

20k

a lot of money

Fuck I hate poor fags

Give me 20k right now.

i'm not sure there is a more misanthropic group of people on this planet right now than americans aged 70-90

The jews and satanists are way worse than boomers.

No
Lol, pull yourself up by your bootstraps like my parents did

implying

Zoomers are not much better.

satanists

Careful, there might be a boogeyman under your bed too

Over 300.

Glorification of gambling. They were kids at the height of the Rat Pack and Vegas was glamorized. A majority of people are also shy and timid so they're scared of table games. Whenever I gamble, I only play poker. In poker, at least *someone's* winning. The house just gets a cut. It's not an endless void like a slot machine. Even table games where you bet against the house like craps or blackjack at least have some human interaction.

Fix the problem or quit your bitching, jew

boomer defence force

Your greatest achievement in life is coming out of the right vagina

if i was rich as fuck i would go to vegas and just play the slots. i would get free drinks from the cute chicks that walk by and blow all my money on the fun slots

lol, lmao

What a way to "live"

im currently a sound designer for these games. its a bit soulless but it pays me okay.

sorry bud! pull yourself up by those bootstraps and purchase get a 50 year mortage, daddy will be busy on the slots in the meantime! p.s you cant move into the guest bedroom, lil beans needs that room for his dog yoga

You willingly do the work of Satan, and you will be punished so.

If you can't see it yet then you've got nothing to chuckle about.

From what I remember he used to come every day to refill his massive jug of soda and shoot the breeze with us. Sometimes we’d have some issues with fridges or plumbing and he’s volunteer to help us. We’d give him free pizza since he never wanted money. It was thanksgiving when he scratched the tickets and I pretty much think he was extremely lonely because he never played lottery until that day and afterwards didn’t play lottery again. Felt bad.

even slot machines are touchslop now

The digital screens are unavoidable in current year, I'll concede. But don't they at least want the cathartic feeling of pulling a lever?

I'm one of them, enjoy hell on Earth :^)

no, they don't care

I think I just beheld the fullest extent of your power lmao.

kek

because as you grow older, unless you have found some sort of meaningful philosophy or direction that transcends the "matrix" level of self worth and belonging (which tends to be severely restriced to the years of youth), you're bound to inevitable get bitter at the fact that you do not belong to the current thing anymore. The world has left you behind, you don't understand it anymore, etc. Most fall into that trap and spend their later years always looking back, often bitterly and become insufferable people. Some find transcendence and through that find joy in overcoming that limitation.

That was the point, yes, you are afraid of an illusion

Digital my game slot are video machines

I wasn't laughing at you out of fear, retard.

Sounds like a nice fella. Would share youth misadventure yarns with him. Thank you for providing a service to your community anon

I'm not afraid!!

condescending passive agressive tone

religious tier obsession with idealogical correctness and purity of thought

treating official narrative as peasant treats words of church priests

And most importantly, who asked you? Because that wasn't me.

zoomers have basically no power, not economically, not politically, barely any culturally and nothing on a governmental or institutional level
they are nothing right now and have had no chance to prove whether or not they would be a detriment or benefit to society should they be the ones in control

hurr i already know

no generation acts the same between their young years and mature ones; boomers were hippies but once they became the politicians and business owners they shoved that stick right up their asses

Zoomers will forever be their arrested development generation

can you also give me the lottery numbers for this week?

Nobody ever says this out loud because it's a very uncomfortable truth:
At a certain age your brain gets so used up that you basically revert back to a toddler mentally. Especially if you're not forced to learn new stuff anymore due to a job or anything. And while there are some rather intelligent toddlers, most just do stupid shit, are overly emotional, have no sense of decency and throw tantrums if they don't get their way.
Reminds you of a certain demographic?
Now give those toddlers all the rights and legal capacity of an adult to use with reckless abandon.

Could it be that it's not so much that the brain reverts naturally, it's that most don't bother with upkeep and maintenance?

You can't see radiation or radiowaves, by that logic they are not real.

Hang in there, genius. Maybe being a tryhard faggot will work out for you somehow.

No, thats gen alpha.

it's that most don't bother with upkeep and maintenance

was about to say this too. The brain and mind are no different than a machine; if you give it proper maintenance and care you can avoid all of that.

decency

Nuspeak for mediocrity.

You guys are making it too complicated. They didn't grow up, become great people, and then revert to toddlers due to age. They were always retarded. They just got old so now they're old and retarded. Think about how many morons there are that are let's say 40. They are not going to get better by the time they're 70.

back to $500

Anon we both know they keep going to 0

It’s this posts numbers. Replying to this post contractually obliges you to give me half of your winnings. When you post a thread about your win next week, look for me. I will use the key phrase “Red d0nkey” to claim my winnings. Please attach a jpeg of a Ray-man Hoodlum Havoc enemy named “yourhalf.jpg” to your initial thread post to help me attain it easily. Thanks for your cooperation.

If a payout is random chance and someone spins 99 times unsuccessfully, The law of averages says I have a 99% chance of winning if I do the 100th spin.

Would rather buy 0dte calls on Spy for $20k than gamble it on a rigged game.

even if you're doing this just to get yous, you're a fucking loser lol

if only

As always there is no one real truth.
For a lot of old retards you're probably right, but a lot of others definitely suffer from mental "material fatigue" as they get older. And just as mental illness often goes undiagnosed so do lighter cases of alzheimers and similar neurodegenerative diseases in old people because it's simply par for the course.

That's right.

reminder to all ITT to have multiple hobbies with enormous learning curves

They didn't grow up, become great people, and then revert to toddlers due to age. They were always retarded.

this is true but it also helps to highlight the fact that people can very easily give off the impression that they are "great people" by riding whatever current wave of the "societal norm" there is at the time. Within that matrix, they are certainly perceived to be great, and that's all that objectively matters. So if you are to measure them by that same standard later on in life, you could definitely objectively say that they have devolved into a much lesser person, even though internally there were always a simple person, just with a mask that functioned well in that moment in time when they were at their social peak.

All this "responsible gaming" shit is a sham. There is no responsible way to gamble at a casino.

Yeah, I don't mean "responsible" I mean literally "non-destructive" as in it doesn't cost anybody any actual money. I personally don't fucking get why anybody would want to piss away money betting on shit. Even if you're a god at head-math and a near-extra-sensory perceptionalist go do something important with it instead of wasting your goddamned money jesus fuckign christ
glad to know all that sportsbook shit is run by the same faggots and is just as much a scam. keep your head out of the shit at least. best of luck bro.

people can very easily give off the impression that they are "great people" by riding whatever current wave of the "societal norm" there is at the time

Maybe perceived by other retards. I'm talking objectively.

Says the guy wasting his time replying

valid point.
very relevant to those aged 20-40 right now. the current matrix is left wing progressivism which the boomers are failing terribly when viewed against. but similarly, in 30 years the young people are going to be looking at us and saying "you fucked up the world by allowing unchecked mass migration" and with the current 2025 matrix removed most of today's young people are going to look like bigger retards than the boomers

MFW the floor lackey gets fired because I won too much

It cuts both ways. Vocally hating things that are popular is also retarded. You’re involving yourself

lol, lmao even.

tfw hearing bunch of stories about kids empting their parent accounts on online casinos.

but a lot of others definitely suffer from mental "material fatigue" as they get older.

aka abusing alcohol for 50+ years

This is incomprehensible to me.
What makes these people so excited about slots?

ok

my dad's in his 60s now and you can see the beginnings of mental decline happening. memory loss is very obvious now.
I wouldn't put him in charge of anything these days but yet he still manages a franchise with 120 people under him

Because it's fun, have you ever tried it? Especially sports betting. Putting even $2 on a football game makes it 500x more interesting. And when the game is actually close and you have money on the line? Super fun.

I can see why irresponsible normgroids lose all their money doing it

I'm sure there's a certain rush to gambling every dollar you own.

Because they're perfectly engineered skinner boxes

They've never played video games before, and don't know that flashing lights on a screen can come in much more interesting shapes or with engagement beyond slapping their full palm on a big 'spin' button that eats $1000 from their wallet each time.

Gambling will always exist. The best you can hope for is some kind of control, otherwise you're looking at a situation like china where a whole seperate city state like macau exists just for chinks to go gamble. If it's not that it'll be online casinos controlled by who knows what.

tell me there is no real chance to "win". I would trust a mechanical slot, but never a digital.
why wouldn't you rig the shit and obfuscate the program so no one could ever check?

Lynchian.

when I was in high-school my accounting teacher took money from everyone at the start of the year for "materials" (printing, worksheets etc).
he was always watching sport on his laptop and he would always ask me and the other top sportsman to come sit with him and help decide who was going to win.
Well turns out he had been committing identity fraud by stealing other teachers IDs so he could get loans out in their name for sports betting.
went to jail for a while the next year

Sorry Billy, you know that inheritance I promised you when you were a kid? Well grandpa got a little greedy on the slots, so you'll just have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps now!

No prob gramps. You know how much a full set of human organs is worth?

Not to be another "fuck boomers" person but it is frustrating seeing the kinds of things they put out there. My grandma votes for the pro-immigration, pro diversity party that her husband hated his whole life before he died because they vaguely promise more benefits (she collects his army pension and hires help around the house). My aunts and uncles share boomer memes of some guy talking about how "back in my day, there was no plastic and we played outside, all these young kids complaining about the ocean yet they use plastic", as if that isn't directly suggesting they grew up in a great environment, ruined it, passed it on to their kids and are now complaining that their kids want to do something to fix it. The bootstraps shit is annoying especially when there's apparently so many open jobs out there yet somehow they all have 1000 applicants each, really fucking boggles the mind almost as if they're fake

It's frustrating for sure

Everyone who isn't poor.

Don't tell me you can't flex any harder than that.

no one thinks they're video games either

What'll ya have?

My wifes parents are like this. They made insane money back in the day and now all they do is spend their time on vacations to casinos and even sold all 3 of their mcmansions.

My own father won't gamble beyond some holiday scratch offs or an occasional quick pick ticket and only when the jackpot is super high.

When I found out they were legalizing casinos in my state I bought a fuckton of stocks in the related companies. Its the only way I can cope with the brainrot.

what exactly is the point of having children if you were just going to gamble all your lifes savings away during retirement? what is wrong with boomers?

Gambling should be allowed in like 10 US cities at the max. It's so fucking degenerate and its in every fucking town now. It was in the early 90s when gambling started to become legal in places aside from Vegas and Atlantic City. There should only be a few cities allowed because it should be a destination activity rather than something most people have easy access to. I hate to hat my city has gambling. It's made the city worse and all this "tax revenue" that comes from it ends up in slush funds and pet projects that don't improve anything. So fucking retarded

p.s you cant move into the guest bedroom, lil beans needs that room for his dog yoga

Fucking lmao my mom lives alone in a 6 bedroom house and her dog shits on the carpet in my old bedroom every day.

transferring 20k

putting down 750 dollar bets

to win million

This guys gonna vomit blood when he learns the GA lottery has online betting games and someone won a mill off a .50 bet.

there should be a study on how much casino employees earn compared to how much gamblers lose

Mine does the same except she has a 3 bedroom house with 2 bedrooms full of garbage bags and the dog relieves himself in the hallway and the living room
Even the skirting boards are warped now

good times make week men
growing up in the post war boom made them the most evil people alive

This isn't true. This is head cannon. Yes when people go senile it's bad but going senile is bad no matter what age you are. If you talk to someone over 70 they're most likely smart enough. Sure there's a good chance you'll think they're retarded but I think just about everyone I talk to is retarded regardless of their age

week men

Just blew another 20k from your inheritance on naughtypussyslots.com, sonny

social security dollars hard at work

Too many people saw Jerry and Marge Go Large and thought it was a real way to make decent money.

retarded spelling mistake

my dad was right about me

Gamblers are all low IQ pigs who exist solely to be preyed upon by others. No sympathy from me

TOTAL

BOOMER

DEATH

SOON

a 6 bedroom house? how many siblings>

Yep. And their families?
Their husband's and wives can divorce them.
If your spouse is a gambler and you stick around? No different to some read living with a homicidal arsonist and complaining that they keep waking up to find their bed on fire.

They saw james bond go to a casino in a movie once so they think they're as suave as he is for playing babby's first gambling.

I got hooked on the album Turn of a Friendly Card by Alan Parson Project as a kid. Convinced me at a young age that gambling is fucking stupid, so Ive never really had a desire to gamble.

Im Anon Babble and the sports gambling thing has gotten out of fucking hand, and I know dudes who throw tons of money at it.
As dumb as the slots and scratchers and what nots are, they give you the odds in plaintext at least.

With sports, its all massaged and borderline rigged at this point.

BLOW UP THE POKIES

Imagine watching niggerball in 2025 lmao.

Your favorite hobby is doing everything it can to emulate legacy sports spectacles into esports.

Teens and young adults are the biggest gamblers now by a lot, not boomers. Keep up.

they gamble on retarded shit like sports though, not casinos
