It’s all part of the show designed to make you want to celebrate and keep betting, and the visual and auditory stimuli affect most people. When I used to gamble, I confess that the sounds and images affected my willingness to bet, and I often turned off the sound because they were too loud...
I can relate to that. Sometimes those sounds and animations definitely make you wanna keep spinning, so I usually keep the sound low.DPoker33 said:
Exactly, that’s the annoying part. Getting a big celebration for a tiny win can be kinda disappointing.navicula said:
It seems like every slot machine has animation these days,To me, that kind of kills the whole thrill of slot machines—after all, I’m looking at the reels and searching for winning combinations. Now, I just zone out and don't even engage with the machine unless I see an animation before the spin. It also defeats the purpose of bonus game teasers: when you land two of the necessary symbols, the lack of a big-win animation means the bonus either never triggers or, if it does, it’s a letdown.
I only play slots live and do enjoy the sounds. I much preferred the days when the sound was that of coins pouring into the trough. However aside from some machines at Circus Circus, Slots-O-Fun, and maybe a few other places, that sound is a thing of the past. The simulated sound is sort of okay, but it isn't the same. 🙁

Just like they do today, the casinos wanted to increase the noise so the troughs were loosely mounted to the machines. 🙂 When you were ready to leave with your winnings, you scooped them up and dumped them into your ploppy bucket. 🙂RENEY444 said:
