Like I said in my post below , I played e-bingo . I love playing bingo the traditional way , but this time I tried this one , in a slot machine . At first I won at least 150 pesos ($3.19) , but since I want to make it bigger , I played it again once i have cashed it out from the cashier and eventually lost 200 pesos ($4.25) . To be honest , it is addictive . No wonder , our gaming attendants on this particular business of the company , told me that there are lots of regulars players and said that they are already addicts to e-bingo and also the very rich ones , at our company’s e-games store . Well, at least I already know how to play e-bingo now . But I think shall not try it again . Have you ever played slot machines , e-bingo , e-games and the like ? What’s your say in playing them ?
Yes, I wasn’t here yesterday because I had my birthday leave . I had my “me” day , the whole day . [em]happy[/em] I woke up late and went to the parlor and...

It is illegal to gamble online and offline here in China, so I cannot find myself visiting these sites to try. Even if I would like to give it a try, our country has already BLOCKED off many of these sites by our much famously criticized country's internet censorship. I believe you will have to agree with me that these are the times which a country's imposed censorship would be deemed as a positive necessary. Online gambling sites can be addictive but we should never forget that they can be unreliable as well. Since we will never know the operators at the other end, who could be manipulating with the system to take our hard earn money. Besides what are we to do when it suddenly shuts down and runs away just when you won the jackpot or top 3 prizes.

These ones that i have tried are actually machines , which we have in the company's we call E-Bingo Boutique . But it's addictive also . As to online gambling , never will i do that because it will also endanger our credit card online . In my opinion , it's good that your country banned those online sites . At least , they are concerned with the way it would adversely affect the financial status of the person playing online .

@SIMPLYD Isn't gambling illegal in your country as well? Sorry for asking but I just felt that it would not be right if your office allowed the machine to be in the premises since it is illegal to gamble. Anyway, it would be another post if your country decides to wipe out these machines. lol

@artemeis It's actually not advertized openly , but since we got the franchise from the Phil. Gaming Corporation and given the license for it we are doing it legally.

@just4him Well, that's because i have set a parameter for myself as to until how much money will i just play . If it reached my limit and i keep losing then , i will stop.

how much do you have to pay first to start playing e-bingo?

You can actually have just 50 pesos , so you can play . Then choose is you have the 1 peso , 2 or more per card to play . You can have as many cards as you want in one playing . A gaming attendant will assist you specially if you are a first timer. They will teach you how to go about it .

@hereandthere That's because i reasoned out silently to myself , i won that amount only so why not gamble to play again if it might still let me win more . But i think it's that way always - your winnings will just be taken back by the machine .

we used to play Mahjong when my mother was still with us. Now, no more. The mahjong set was given to me by a former boyfriend.

Oh mahjong ! I know how yo play that before , but now , i forgot how to play it . We also used to play mahjong for a minimal bet at our boarding house before when i was still single and working. I love it . Mahjong though needs at least 4 players .

I have played the slot machines in an arcade where they use tokens and when you win, you will also get tokens. But these tokens are no longer convertible to cash. And yes, they are addictive. I have never tried any of these machines aside from the arcades.

At least you also get to try slot machines . I think what makes it addictive is the every now and then small winnings we get from the machines . Actually , a lot of big player won big time . But considering the length of their frequent playing , always losing , they still are losers . What more when they go back after winning in which eventually what they won was taken back by the machine .

@SIMPLYD yes, since people don't get contented, they don't want small winnings. They want higher payouts so they try to play again and again. There was also a game machine at the arcade where I used to play before where I really enjoyed. It was a betting game. I had learned how to win in that machine and I usually empty the machine and get all the tokens which made the manager decide to pull out that particular machine from their arcade.

I went to Vegas in October for 4 days. I think between my daughter and I we gambled $15. Couldn't believe what a rip-off the Ellen Degeneres machine was. My daughter played the Black Jack machine for about 40 minutes with a single dollar. I sat next to her and lost $5 in 10 minutes. I prefer the lottery.

@SIMPLYD I went to a casino here in Ontario quite a few years back and I played the slots. I was there 15 minutes when I won over $300. I don't think I was betting big. I'm too scared to bet big.

I think in a casino , you really have to have a bigger money to be able to play . Is that right . This E-Bingo with only 50 pesos or $1.11 , you can already play for 50 times of a 1 pesos card or $.02 / card . Though, the more card , the more chances of winning more .

I played the slot machine in Genting casino before, I didn't quite like it, as I found it boring. I think it'd be fun to win, then you'd want to win bigger, and that makes it so addicting. I am just not a person who enjoys gambling, as I feel bad for wasting the money like that. I'd prefer to spend the money to eat a good meal! My friends who gamble always said, that's because I always have the mindset of losing money, hence I can't attract the wins.

Your thinking is the same as mine . For a little money lost i feel like i have lost a lot . And just like you i would say "I could have bought lots of delicious foods with the lost money ." Isn't it nice that at least we don't have the gambler aspect in us .

I have played a couple of times but it's a very bad idea as it is very addictive. For me, I risked very little money and than walked away. I have known people who have lost practically everything they own. My advice to everyone is to stay away from slot machines. Blessings.

Indeed . A lot of rich people who are addicted to these slot machine have gone bankrupt . Me, i have a small budget for that particular day . When i lost already that allotted budget i stopped and went out .

Any kind of gambling is addictive. I don't try even once to play any form of gambling. It is hard to be addicted to it. But I am glad you practiced self-control.

I have played roulette and slot machines in Las Vegas and there is a reason. We bought a package from Europe, three nights at the hotel gave us 300$ to play in the Casino. We won about 400$, so the stay was free.

Yes, that should be the right attitude . Stop before losing too much or when you see that you are getting addicted to it . It takes a lot of determination actually to be that .

I do not know, but for a pretty unknown reason, people win the very first game of any gambling game, but the result changes afterward, though, people are all hooked up by then.

I guess that's what we call the beginner's luck . They said that if you have experienced that , better stop playing already or else your winnings will all eventually be lost .
