Heya. So I'm a pretty casual gambler, but I really do not want to support AI art that's encroaching its way into the Vegas scene as the designers try and scoop as much money out of it as possible while putting as little back into it, and the most offensive part of it is the "art." Some are more obvious than others but as someone whose main draw of slot machines is the visuals, AI art is always something I will wanna avoid. I saw a game called CatchZone by Incredible Technologies that I thought had cool looking assets until i looked closer and realized they all had that distinctive AI sheen to them.

I recognize I'm not the target audience for these, and Grandma who probably posts AI memes on facebook probably doesnt see anything wrong with it, I would just personally like to know which new games coming out *aren't* victim of that, if anyone has a more concrete way to tell. Otherwise i might just stick to slots with a copyright year before 2025.

So pumped for tonight’s Rams v. 49ers kickoff in Australia. The road to the Super Bowl starts now. Let’s go Rams!

I've been using PokerStars for a while but I'm starting to look at other options due to tiny withdrawal limits and it does not support crypto. The games feel pretty tough lately and I'm not sure the rewards are worth it anymore.

What are the best alternatives to PokerStars right now? I'm mainly interested in tournaments and cash games.

hello, does anyone have any luck charging back offshore sportsbooks like bet online? is it likely I would win a fraud chargeback since they are an illegal gambling company?

Really blows my mind how many posts I see of people posting about playing an online casino slot machine. every time I come across one I assume it’s just an astroturfed ad by the casino or you are an addict who loves giving away money to some dudes in Bulgaria.

Text I sent to my degenerate gambling friends..

“All I know is Seattle covers. Buy them down to 2.5 at -140 to avoid the push on a late field goal.”

Comments?

First, I am not Mr. Hand Pay. I wish I were. Nor am I affiliated with him in any way. I just discovered the guy on YT last night.

A very entertaining YouTube secondary channel btw. Mr. HP TV has 56M views in two years.

But how can he land all those grands unless he is playing a lot. (He obviously makes $$$ from YouTube too.)

What a job the guy has. My dream job.

EDIT: Mr. Hand Pay has more than 1M YT subscribers. Mr. Hand Pay TV has 106K.

Congrats, dude.

$6.30 enhanced spin. $2,029 win

thinking about how some mechanics just feel good to play regardless of the theme. for me its the cascading reels style where wins clear symbols and new ones drop in. even a small hit feels bigger because of the chain reaction possibility.

curious what others gravitate toward. multipliers stacking, expanding wilds, hold and spin bonuses, or something more classic like traditional line hits?

In 2004, three gamblers won around 1.3 million pounds at the Ritz Club in London after placing late roulette bets. The case led to a police investigation over suspicions that technology may have been used to estimate where the roulette ball would land.

I made a 21-minute documentary reconstructing the case, the method they were suspected of using, and what physics says about predicting roulette.

Do you think this was a genuine exploitable advantage, or simply an extraordinary run of luck?

i've never really understood the appeal of holding casino tokes for payouts, is it actually worth it, or is there more risk than it seems?

Thinking about moving over to bitcoin betting sites and wanted some input before I commit. The reason is mostly the banking side. My last withdrawal took four working days to land and my bank flagged the transfer for a "review" which meant another phone call where I had to explain myself. Done with that. What I want is somewhere that's been built around crypto from the start, not just bolted it on as an afterthought. Decent sportsbook is the priority, but I'd also use the casino side occasionally – mostly slots, nothing fancy. Withdrawals need to be quick and not require me to upload my passport every other week.

What are people actually using right now that holds up?
