In Scandinavian mythology, there is the god Ullr, who is considered the patron of all gambling and the god of fortune. In Aztec mythology, there is the god Macuilxochitl, who is considered the god of gambling. In ancient Greek mythology, there is Hermes, to whom gamblers often turned for luck.
Do you have someone you turn to during gambling with a request for luck?

I always rely only on myself. Even in the most difficult moments, you just need to stay calm and focused. Luck will be more favorable to you if you know how to keep the situation under control.

No, I do not believe in a being that helps gamblers beat the house edge.

It's pretty ridiculous. Losing money in a casino hoping that some mythical creature will step in and change the course of events. I think if I had hoped in gods I would have stopped gambling a long time ago.

I do not request luck as I have a sense of predetermination regarding it. Some are just lucky, others not. I have not lived by it, but I like the idea of each online slot having its own deity that you must thank each time, by spinning the wheel once more as thanks.

Thanks for putting a name to the faces. I just pray to them all as a group; they can be very fickle, especially on replay :love:

No me personally I don't need such gods or similar as I only rely on myself when you play you are mostly with yourself so that's it.

Sometimes when I play I can ask for something "good" directly from the slot I'm playing. It probably looks funny, but it doesn't really bother me :)

Went to the casino last night and kept just praying to anyone for a bit of win...I think I was even talking out loud to the machine...not sure if people heard me, didnt really care. Spent 300 and walked out with 1200. Not sure it was the praying or just got lucky, but was happy for the win.
