TNShadyLady Posted September 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2016 What is with all the penny slots lately?? I just don't get it. I have to look forever to find a traditional 3-reel slot machine, which is what I prefer. I just don't like those penny machines at all. And I really don't get the popularity of them. Even land-based casinos have a plethora of penny slots and very very few traditional 3-reels. So what is it about the penny slots that are so attractive? What am I missing here? Maybe I'm just too impatient to watch all that animation and stuff that goes on. Is that part of the appeal? Does the animation extend your playing time and make you feel like you're getting more for your money? I prefer instant gratification. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negn Posted September 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Guess we think with all those ways to win, we have a better chance LOL. I remember playing traditional $0.25 slots Cost me $0.75. Now I play the pennies and pay between $3-4 dollars a pull... and have not won in a long,long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemebro Posted September 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I get bored to tears watching the same 3 reels spin around. I have to play the games with a bonus. I like to watch the coins and fireworks.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNShadyLady Posted September 26, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Different strokes for different folks, I guess. :D I get impatient with the animation sequences and just want it to STOP. If you've seen it once... etc. Just tell me how much I won and then I'm ready for the next spin. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clcjdn Posted September 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I remember watching a TV show alluding to the fact that under the old 3 reel systems you either lost your entire bet or won some amount larger than the bet more infrequently than with these new video reels. On these, you can still bet the same $0.75 for example and have more wins, but those wins are in the $0.01-$0.75 range with most on the lower side. In the end, it gives players the feeling that they are winning more often, but the amounts are so small that they continue to play back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil2Angelic Posted September 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) I agree and also I think it's all the bonus games. Some have more than one type of bonus game on one machine. Maybe people get less board with more variation. Edited September 27, 2016 by Lil2Angelic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clcjdn Posted September 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I also agree on the bonus screens....I am primarily a VP player, but whenever I do play slots, I am focused on trying to get the bonus/free games feature...kind of how I measure which ones to play when taking a small break from VP.
