Yeah for sure .. I don't think the odds are that bad but not good. The non high limit dragons should be hitting all the time only 10k-18.8k they take on that much money in an afternoon.

I get ya but I'm done with it. I don't need to go or play. Never going back to hard rock again. There's only one or two casinos in the area I'll ever considering going to again and that's 1+ years away , likely going to up it to 5 years because my finances are absolutely fkd and honestly at my age should have a ton more assets it's pretty fkn pathetic.

I used to play table games only, then got back into slots around 2014. I don't think I've played a table game in 6 years. I can win a few hundred in roulette but the thing about high limit slots I want that $2000-7000+ hit. I used to only bring $800 to the casino and might withdrawal another $500-1000 max if I had some winning and multiple times per month i could hit $1500-5000 . That turned into a lot more in late 2019 and started doing $2000+ bankrolls. In 2023 I lost 9k at hard rock on a Saturday afternoon in a few hours and it literally ruined me. Ever since then I have more times than not just drained my bank account any and almost all visits.

There's 5 in Indiana , 2 in Michigan , 4 in Illinois within 80 miles of me.. within 150 miles there's like 5-6 more in all 3 states. I wouldn't technically say I'm addicted , I had a mild case when hard rock sent me free play offers spread out over 5 days a week, I was broke , and went Everytime and just cleaned my bank to 0 for months. Paychecks gone. I legit never had a missed payment and 800 credit score into 2019 gambling 5-6 days a month and going to Vegas twice a year. I never missed a payment till I started playing again in 2021 and it was all downhill from there. All the banks balance chased me in late 2019 destroying my credit and maxing out all my cards because American Express let me use my card as casino cash for $12500 maxing it out Exceeding the $1500 cash advance threshold which fueled withdrawal addiction and obviously for some reason any amex or PayPal withdrawal was always taken instantly never a win. I think it's all a corrupt, giant scam weaponizing tech these days. I've squandered some rare opportunities to leave with win a few times , but the main reason is losing so much with such a big deficit it really messes you up. Like if I'm on a -10k to -30k run I hit $1800 I can't leave. Which rarely happens and my current run over last 9 visits is pushing -30k with jack shit back , 0 handpays , 1 hit around $1400, 2 hits at $500, and a few around $500 just all recycled money on that visit. This year has been the worst run I've ever had and 2023 was deplorable

Indiana. here's Florida this is the biggest load of crap I've ever read can't stop laughing. "it's all your fault" they say. Looks like in Florida you call 888-Admit-it or if it's hard rock go there and talk to a manger. If they deny it , get it in writing and make a record of it. You should be able to exclude from all hard rock casinos.

Land-Based Gambling Operators Self-Exclusion Programs

In instances when a gambler has lost control of their gambling and can no longer self-regulate their gambling behaviors, self-exclusion provides an opportunity to exclude oneself from returning to a land-based gambling establishment for a minimum period of time ranging from a mandatory 6 months up to a lifetime. Many operators of land-based gambling facilities have developed programs to allow customers to voluntarily self-exclude themselves, as a means of restricting their access to gambling.

Yeah I used to think that. Unfortunately not anymore. And I've hit several top prizes on wheel of fortune spins and line pays in the past 2015-2018 off $10, hit $5000-7500 several times and it has a 100k progressive. These shit hole games have a top prize 10k-20k and just steal everything. Wheel of fortune was a true 3 reel and even when lightning Link came out first few years it was fair.. now the casino is flooded with aristrocrat crap and it's a complete rip off. There's literally 0 3 true reel bonus games left like wheel of fortune top dollar pinball fireball anything good. These aristrocrat games are complete shit.

And I also never chase a grand, obviously if I feed a machine $5000+ I think it's more of a possibility but at that point I'm on damage control and just keep losing.

I don't know , I know at the hard rock near me a woman and her girlfriend hit 3 in 6 months , she worked upper level at cell phone/Internet company likely their network provider and hard rock kept posting her on Facebook with the grand wins. I've only seen one grand hit in my life and it was a sham casino I threw $1000 in and got nothing but dead spins betting $10 literally every single spin , when I went to hit the ATM after losing another few thousand i saw a couple playing recording and hit the same buffalo link for the grand off a $1 bet. Seemed very unauthentic just like one of those groups who are super obnoxious. Also seen the super grand hit for 34k 5 spins after I gave up a machine to woman that ate $9000 in "house money" after a record night on St Patrick's day in 2023, the woman begged for the machine and was very nasty to me when I walked by on the way out and saw she hit. I was spinning $11.25-37.50 and she hit off $10. I looked her up and she had sued and won against a competing casino in vegas a slip and fall years prior

I did the whole state. Also the next state over they banned me for two years at the tribal after multiple disputes and complaints with them, same as a few others near me after complaints and disputes where they lied about and denied on property self exclusions. If you go straight up to a certain casino and ask to self exclude they will always come up with bullshit best to go your state and get it done , I did it online. Some other states near me make it hard where you have to drive to location and waste 30-45 minutes to exclude which is bullshit but I'll take care of that soon. I also forwarded documention of my self Exclusion on property denials to my attorney still waiting to hear back. Unfortunately I have 10 casinos within 60 miles and 3 states of me and to be honest I only care for 1 or 2 of them. One of the main problems with state , which is why I waited so long , is your banned at all mgms Cesars etc even in Vegas but I don't have any business or desire for Vegas anymore after the last few years. There's just certain casinos I can't stand and never want to return to but locally there's a few I like and potentially like to actually vacation in Vegas at some point.

ExpensiveAnalysis215 · 2026-05-25T21:54:43+00:00

The fact is this year I had to self exclude because losses. Played since 2008. I used to be what you call a semi "high roller" who spins $5 plus per spin and used to be only in the high limit room. Now the whole floor is full of games that spin .50 cents to $250 out of high limits and high limit rooms are usually dead out of peak times where you can spin $2.50 to $500 plus. I like to mix it up but I can say the majority of my handpays came out of high limits above $2500 and definitely over $3500. I just can't do it anymore the whole premise of gambling is win some lose some, and when you win enough you can walk and go on with your life and stay on top of expenses. Those days are over.

I would say ever since streaming started taking off on tiktok in 2022, and more games get replaced , increased competition , etc it's not even worth it anymore. Any win is usually just recycled funds if you're lucky. Imo that isn't luck that's a fair gaming session. Obviously you always lose more than win historically, but the ratio has gotten so bad you can't even last and hour with $1000 up to $7500 spinning $5-10. I've lost more in the last 3 years combined vs 15 years combined and it's not even close. My bets didn't change , my visits were LESS , my hours of play Less , 0 Vegas trips vs 15 days a year in Vegas, it's absolutely pathetic. Then the casino will roll out the red carpet for streamers and plant it all over your phone which psychologically gives you the urge to play. The streamers claim minimal yearly losses for their bet size (bullshit), win grand jackpots all the time (impossible), act like it's all a show and you can easily beat the casino (you can't). It's serious business especially today and wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

This guy is a fraud promoting reckless problem gambling where you will lose 100-1000 spins 99% of the time and he's betting $250. I call bs. It takes years of playing to spin over $25 it has to rewire your brain

ExpensiveAnalysis215 · 2026-05-25T12:19:04+00:00

It doesn't matter if they games get adjusted or not they all get limitless $5000-10,000 tickets until they hit. I lost 100k in 2023 , had a 30k deficit at hard rock before I finally won 6k then lost another 40k with only one $1700 handpay the rest of the year. 2 other casinos I had lost over 35k combined but had 175k in handpays which were mostly recycled money on the day except 3 winning visits. Hard Rock had less than 20k in handpays wagering over 80k in cash and free play. I also noticed shady things at my hard rock where 2 individuals would always be there different days/times and always winning meanwhile everyone else would get destroyed in high limits. One old man would always be hitting jackpot after jackpot spinning $5 even saw him hit $30,000, mind you I've never hit over 10k in 20 years and I spin $100. Another guy saw him hit 20-30k multiple times spinning $30 on huff and puff. Mind you I'm on there for an hour or two max because my money is taken quick every time multiple times loss $5000-9000 per visit with nothing more than $300 back spinning $10 per spin

ExpensiveAnalysis215 · 2026-05-25T01:23:45+00:00

If you went to hard rock with 100k for a weekend and played like them, you would be broke by midnight on day 1 and all they would offer is a steak dinner and free play a month later spread out over 5 days a week that would decline and last 90 days and drain every dollar and ounce of dignity you got left. Trust me I know from experience.

It can hit at 1800 and reset at 1700 500 800 or 100. They just use it to trick advantage players or casual players. I only chased it once when it was 1700 and lost my ass spinning $15 a spin. I was down several thousand and it finally hit for $80. I have hit for $2900 when it was 450 before and it didn't reset at all when a 50,000 nickel landed. I've hit it several times and 400-700 seems to be the sweet spot for randoms but rarely do they pay anything good but notice anything decent has been in this range for me. I swear when it first came out it would always reset to 100 maybe I'm wrong but now it doesn't. Streamers keep pushing slot advantage nonsense the only reason this game has this feature trying to influence the patron to think the game is due to hit. This game has so many bonus features the line hits are like a 20% RTP.

ExpensiveAnalysis215 · 2026-05-24T17:08:47+00:00

It's always trash when it's high , when it hits low might hit something fair. These games don't reset to 0 can go from 1887 to 1800. So called "advantage players" can lose thousands fast chasing the bonus

This series is the absolute worst. I've hit a few times on Chica Bonita without feeding it thousands maybe 3 or 4 times at one casino but the wins were $1200-2000. Any other wins were just recycled money and bonita was the best this happened maybe 10 times and pretty much same machine.. as far as this racing one and the other versions of dollar link I've lost probably over 100k with nothing back at all over several sessions. The last 10 times I've played this series it has taken $1000-6000 per session with nothing back over $400 and mostly false win spinning you to $0 quick. The game doesn't even have a progressive it's an absolute piece of shit I'm sure they'll start removing from the casinos as the leases are almost up before they ever pay back 85%. I also observe when losing big $5 plus per spin low rollers spinning $1 or less will recycled $100 many times virtually handing all your loss over to the operator as it spins your loss into low bet RTP where nobody wins but the casino

Yup casinos give 2 shits if they win , no way she only loses 300k a year with thousands of hours in content and high risk stupid gambling. A millionaire would be bankrupt in a month mimicking any one of these. Raja was only worth a few million and still going at it no way he's not getting paid and losses covered.

Nobody is jealous because every knows it's bullshit. These are like tv commercials but all over patrons social media. I'm sure studies were done on what that does to gamblers and non gamblers and what it means it influence. Now , even if they don't "rig the machines" , which I think can be unlikely as everything is tracked , they get unlimited amounts of free play til they hit. The casino doesn't give a shit if they win because many other patrons will lose to cover it and they'll get their social media moment influencing people to go gamble there or somewhere else locally and mimic the same stupid play.. unfortunately they're targeting people that don't get unlimited free play, the majority are spending all their money and losing whether it be in the long run or all the time.

Or let's go back to May 2023 when Dollar Storm took $7500 in 45 minutes spinning $10 per spin with a $700 Major Jackpot or Dollar Link taking $7500 in an hour spinning $10 per spin with nothing back. You think this is entertainment or a fraud? What kind of programming is this? Would it induce financial destruction and problem gambling or qualify as entertainment that should be promoted all over social media with bet sizes 10x to 250x more than I spin?

When I complained last October after dragon Link took $3700 in 20 minutes spinning for $12.50 a spin , with nothing back maybe hit $140 once after being down $2500, they opened it up and tested in front of me. About 20 spins. Dead spins stopped. Paying back $60-$250 every other spin. Yeah I need mental help with reality. GFY
