I’ve seen many people touching and even knocking on the screen of a slot machine 😝
I see this as a superstitious way to connect with the game.

Do you ever feel something like that when you play slots, or do you have a special superstition?

I don't have any superstitions and never have had. I don't believe in such things, and when I see people doing something like what you described, it just makes me laugh :)

Yeah. It is very funny. But. It must be something there. Because many people do. Perhaps it's a way to feel than they're controlling their luck. Or maybe yes. Maybe there are away to altering the results touching the buttons and knocking the screen.

Sometimes some people tell they have a gut feeling that this or that machine will pay out a win. And no, I am not talking about those machines that actually show the accumulation of some bigger pot.
But years back I had a work buddy and we were on a lunch break on a gas station. He said that he is going to take lunch money out of the (slot) machine, and oh my, he actually managed to do so.

I don't have superstitions. But still doing some routine helps to calm down and focus attention.
It's something similar to basketball players who are doing unique same motions before shooting free throws.

I have one superstition that I adhere to. If I don't have money, I never gamble. I only gamble when I have money available.

I don't believe in all that nonsense :)
I don't have any superstitions, rituals, amulets or magic spells. I only know one thing: to play well, you need to be in a good mood :)

I don’t really have any superstitions myself, I just hit spin and hope for some magic. Funny what people do to “bring luck” though! :)

You'll find that these are the same people that are expecting to walk out of the slot venue with a profit.

I am realistic, I believe in my skills, experience and patience, and I just hope that luck will be on my side. Rituals, amulets and superstitions are all just nonsense to me :)

I don't believe in superstitions. I believe in myself, my skills and discipline, and I think that, first and foremost, everything in my life depends on me. In order to live each day to the fullest, you just need to act consistently and effectively :)

I play online casino . So there the only thing I like doing when I play a slot is to spin by following a specific timing pattern . I keep on spinning or I slow down or even stop for % while , dependingly if it pays or not . I think it's in my imagination, I am not sure it has any actual effect in the outcome , but I keep on doing it

I am not superstitious and do not believe in any talismans, signs or rituals.
The only principle I always adhere to is never to play while intoxicated, as this is a "superstition" that will definitely lead to losses.

I have my own rules that I try not to break, because breaking your own rules is definitely a bad sign. That's my only superstition :)

So how many big wins have you had using this system.

You would be 100% correct there.

In the US, casino owners have repeatedly noticed patrons entering their casinos with strange objects, such as a teddy bear or a cricket in a jar. A player in Pennsylvania even used a stuffed bear to press a slot machine button to trigger a lucky spin.Some believe that a beautiful woman standing behind a player can also bring good luck. The main thing is that she doesn't touch the player with her hands. Otherwise, the luck will be offended and go to another participanSuch superstitions are necessary.

Where do you get this nonsense from, or are you just making it up, it sure seems so.

So you admit it's nonsense and that you made it up.

I don't believe in superstitions. I think people who believe in this nonsense simply don't want to take responsibility, and when things don't go well, they are ready to blame other people, circumstances, the weather, or cats.

If you believe in superstitions, then you will never believe in this until you win, but I believe, my talisman brought me money both in poker and in the casino.
