It must be a tough feeling, for sure. Luckily, I've only experienced something like that online while playing slots, but it's still not the same, because I don't think I missed out on the jackpot just because of the timing of my click. All I know is that the jackpot has returned to its base amount.

That's just how randomness works . But it's not much fun if you think it might actually be you that could have had a big win .

i could imagine myself doing bad decisions based on that if that ever happened. like i would stay longer on a slot thinking it may happen again and keep doing that

I have seen it happen a lot actually there are people who see you play a certain slots machine and tell the attendant the moment he stands I want that machine and at times they hit the jackpot but again it's a one of the physiological issues I said,that thought will keep you on a machine looong and you end up losing more

This has not happened to me. But it is obvious that this is a very real situation. You cannot predict anything, and therefore the only and correct approach to the game is to simply play disciplined. Although, to be honest, in my opinion, jackpots fall precisely to those players who do not control themselves and their game.

the players that received jackpot from what i know . they always put it back to the casino 99% of the time . so that doesnt matter who got it anyway cause they will give it back xD

That has and will never happen to me since I don't play slots. But I would say "If you leave a machine, never look back".

This mindset is how you wind up pouring way more money into a machine than you can afford and is often the justification used by those who have a gambling addiction.

Set a stop-loss before you sit down and when you hit it, leave.

the casinos want you to think the big one is imminent. that will drive your compulsion and increase the profits the house makes .

Yes, it doesn't really matter. I spend between $20 and $50 on slots at a time. And that's the maximum. So I don't care at all who gets what after me.

Theoretically, this is certainly possible. But if a player in such a situation blames himself for not spending a few extra dollars, then this will be a sign that the player has problems and needs the help of a psychologist.

I am sure it has happened to me but I would never blame myself because every spin is random. So just because that person hit doesn't mean I would have hit if I had stayed on it.

It hasn't happened to me yet. If it ever happens, it will probably be frustrating to think: “One more round and everything would have changed”, but I try not to think about it. In the end, it's impossible to know what would have happened.

If you worry about every jackpot in the world that passes you by, you won't live that long. Take care of your nerves.
