KaChing Pokie Slot Documentary why slots are addictive

They wouldn't buy them if couldn't control them .

I use to spend $500-$900 or even more in the pokies as it was just an addiction, I was greedy and when I got greedy and lost I got lonely, it got to a point it was giving me anxiety, so now I’m 4 months sober and each month I make a coin I keep in my wallet to remind of who I am and the future I will have, to anyone reading this, there is more to life and you don’t need to play the pokies

I’m telling once you get hooked it’s close to impossible to quit , the body craves it like it’s a drug and the urges are extremely strong

It's always the first five spins and you will win small or big. This is how they get new players addicted. Me and my friend got addicted because we won putting in $3 and won $500. We went back thinking we were lucky.

With addiction the brain is actually working against you it has been hijacked and u have a chronic relapsing disease of the brain a life long problem. While alot of addicts have a mental illness some get addicted with no mental problem. Pubs in sydney make millions every year fleecing people and exploiting the near miss

Can’t think of a more boring thing to have a go at …

Also can’t understand why they polluted the waters with these boring machines

I WAS HERE

LOL that woman claiming she got hypnotized by a slot machine is not an excuse

It's a shame those common sense reforms didn't go through. $1 a spin is still plenty. You could still burn through $100 in ten minutes

I need to just get up when I profit

I had job offers from the gambling industry that I instantly rejected. Thinking of putting my hours and creativity into something like that makes me physically sick.

To the designers and every mf who profits from these dam pieces of pure evil. I hope you and your families choke on every cent you make you low life pieces of scum.

What if I told you that the whole system is guaranteed to end in deficit. Would that then make you stop if you knew undeniably that the whole racket is in fact fraud by design. The truth is, you don't know for sure whether it's possible or not that the whole system could be a lie. Consider that, that your whole life investment gambling could be a guaranteed loss. People would say I'm crazy right.

Thanks Blacc Karat

Please get professional help if you can't stop this shit.
Remember it's never too late to quit and never stop quitting.
I've lost shit loads of money and very time I think about it I get a headache. PLEASE STOP

I really don't want to play these evil things anymore. I just turned 24 and my whole adulthood since I turned 18 all the money I have ever earned has gone to these machines, nothing to show for it at all, I see all my family and friends progressing through life and this addiction has been holding me down for so long. Such a waste of my youth

I heard there are more poker machines in NSW than anywhere else in Australia.

Hate to be that guy, but I've won so much money on these things. Never won a cent on the weekly lotto

i never heard the term "Pokie" , lol australians..

I've seen three young men play about $4000 in one sitting. They do it for entertainment. They were occasionally getting a good result. On the reverse I watched an elderly person lose $50 in about five minutes. I rather have my meal and give this nonsense the flick. When manufacturers can change setting of machine to give a 60% return you should understand you will always lose in the long run. Be a loser for your hard earned monies, keep the industry going.

I've not gambled on slot machines or been to any casino for 2 years. I have saved a lot of money!

These machines and the den they exist in are drug dealing designed and profiting from addiction that has no monetary limit. The poorer the suburb the more pokie machines there are. The emptiness both emotionally and financially is life destroying.

How's the lie, to the business owners and even the government. If people didn't put their money in the pokies there money would likely still be spent.... Its money its always spent eventually.

In Vietnam, locals are not allowed into any gambling venues at all

Can this lady contact me from Sydney aus please

Imagine all your work being pissed away on pokies, the profits of which go to those who are already so rich that no one in their immediate family need ever work again.

It's interesting that they get frustrated when they win a jackpot, it's almost like they're all a masochist.

I wonder what's the unconscious mind thinking, is it because of the Pavlov's or the Skinner's, perhaps Both.

I will call you sir and madam, and I will only charge you $5. Much better deal than the casino.

How's the software designer guy with like 10 gold bracelets on, just to underline for us how much blood money he has been compensated, for helping create this evil sht and send lots of people broke with their lives ruined. How could you sleep at night?

This is not rocket science, but yes, one needs to have a very strong mind to avoid the pitfalls of slot addiction/gambling.

Now I’m going to quit after watching this.

The Government needs to do something about this in our society. Life use to be so simple. Now every pub have these machines and people are becoming addicted very quickly. I would never have thought I'd become addicted to them. It was a way to kill time, something to do. You could go out on your own and its acceptable whereas as a woman, its difficult to go to a bar on your own. That's how I became addicted

It’s been since 2001 for me when I turned 18.
I’m making sure my daughter knows why she should never touch them.
I don’t hide it from her, if I fuck up I tell wh why I don’t have money and she watches the confession crush me like a grape.
I have to stop for her sake if not for my own

If I go to the pokies and lose $100, then I get paid, go back the next day, and immediately win $200.. I won't be satisfied. Because it happened too quick, and I was prepared to stay for longer and enjoy it longer. So it's the whole process that we're addicted to, not just winning. I can stay for an hour longer and win back $50 and I would be more satisfied than if I won $200 immediately

say no to pokies

The key to winning is discipline. Leave as soon as you make a profit and spend no more than $20 bucks a week. I’ve been doing this for 3 years and all my winnings I put in a savings account which is now at $3000. Discipline people. Discipline.

Pokies design to take your money....

Pokies are addicted and evil

Pokies addiction equals pain and misery.

I lost 200k aud to gambling pokies I lost everything of many years

Just think you got that electrode wire in the brain tapping the pokie looking for the free games like the test rat

Its good that casinos are closed because of the coronavirus in my country so i havent gambled in 3 months. They closed them at the exact time i was losing big but i still feel the urge to gamble.
