This is a massive reality check the machine took away my everything, my values, my self confidence, my soul, every time I feel the urge I will watch this
Brilliant documentary. Anyone who’s played these damn things knows just how well this show has been done! Shame on the makers of these machines and all those who conspire to cover it up.
@@debd7424 Our state government needs the money to send people as trade representatives to NY you know, that costs a lot of money, Someone got to pay for it.
As a grown adult, it's a choice to play slots for fun and in moderation. I really enjoy disconnecting from the world and grabbing a meal afterward. Discipline is a trait, I have never seen the science behind. Perhaps society as a whole is focused too much on instant gratification.i play pennies at the lowest bet, solely for entertainment with a chance of winning. Don't expect to get rich and you'll be ok.
How's the software designer guy with like 10 gold bracelets on, just to underline for us how much blood money he has been compensated, for helping create this evil sht and send lots of people broke with their lives ruined. How could you sleep at night?
I'm down somewhere between 40-60 thousand on these things and I thought I didn't have an addiction. It's quite sad and feel for all the people out there like me who have wasted there time and money and there life
I know how you feel man, we all have had set backs. I lost everything to gambling my house, cars and family then I met a team of traders who introduced me to trading forex and crypto currencies ever since then I got my house and car back and I am now living comfortably without a job.
If I can add... combined with drinking alcohol at time, out goes your control and they know this! Further, long term binge drinking which many 20-30 year olds do, will mean your brain is compromised and less decision making and impulse control so pokies addiction increased and a new generation of problem gamblers created every year. Biggest transfer of wealth from poor to rich. People work their ass off to only have most of it lost playing pokies... their partners are used as scape goats and blamed for their losses, domestic violence and suicide also increases. How is our society allowing this scourge occur? Once people run out of money, they will be dependant on centrelink hand outs. 20 cents should be max bet. Time limits set... entertainment should be defined as 3 hour sessions max. Otherwise, ban it all!
Its good that casinos are closed because of the coronavirus in my country so i havent gambled in 3 months. They closed them at the exact time i was losing big but i still feel the urge to gamble.
@@abdullahmshsy Alive and still gambling, in worse situation than ever, got in debt 10000eur and my monthly salary is 500eur. Baisically I will be working for nothing in the next 2 years..
Awesome and informative documentary. In Australia, gambling is a part of culture blah blah blah ~~~~. I can not stop blaming those who keep gaining benefits from this disgusting industry.
who has a gambling hangover atm? did you max out your keycard saturday night? 2k in a machine with only 5 features? free soft drinks free coffee? what ajoke these should be illegal banned in australia all these rsl clubs are building new venues multi levels who funded these new buildings? the pokie players did
I have done this before its a horrible feeling you just cant walk away because you dont want some other bastard coming over and playing and getting your feature I am trying hard to stay away from em
I use to spend $500-$900 or even more in the pokies as it was just an addiction, I was greedy and when I got greedy and lost I got lonely, it got to a point it was giving me anxiety, so now I’m 4 months sober and each month I make a coin I keep in my wallet to remind of who I am and the future I will have, to anyone reading this, there is more to life and you don’t need to play the pokies
This helps me to not want to go and play the pokies after work or during my lunch break or before coming to work thanks to Australia these machines are everywhere. I have had big wins where I won thousands but in the end they always take it all back they are so addictive once you start you cannot walk out of the place you always think just another $20 or $50 and it never ends when your chasing it is even worse you go crazy trying to find ways to get money terrible atmosphere and its very dangerous please stop making these machines or make them less prevalent in society.
The Government needs to do something about this in our society. Life use to be so simple. Now every pub have these machines and people are becoming addicted very quickly. I would never have thought I'd become addicted to them. It was a way to kill time, something to do. You could go out on your own and its acceptable whereas as a woman, its difficult to go to a bar on your own. That's how I became addicted
I really don't want to play these evil things anymore. I just turned 24 and my whole adulthood since I turned 18 all the money I have ever earned has gone to these machines, nothing to show for it at all, I see all my family and friends progressing through life and this addiction has been holding me down for so long. Such a waste of my youth
Mate stay away while you can, stay strong use them family and friends to help keep you accountable and away as best as you can, because the pokies will always just keep taking and taking, one day the computers aren’t going to change their minds they are programmed to fleece us
@@blacckarat9156 thank you for the response, I am so blessed to have my family an my mum and sisters are so worried for me I hate the fact that I do this to them too. I have to take control. 2 days I haven't been it's the longest I can remember in easily 3-4 years that I haven't been unless I was waiting for pay day it's insane when I think of that .
It’s been since 2001 for me when I turned 18. I’m making sure my daughter knows why she should never touch them. I don’t hide it from her, if I fuck up I tell wh why I don’t have money and she watches the confession crush me like a grape. I have to stop for her sake if not for my own
The strong mind being one that rejects it entirely and sees it for what it is? If you have a basic understanding of probabilities and can operate a calculator, you should by default steer clear of it. It'll still get you, but at least you can reason yourself out of starting. But hey, if you have infinite cash flow, go for it. There are better ways to spend your time, but you do you.
I had job offers from the gambling industry that I instantly rejected. Thinking of putting my hours and creativity into something like that makes me physically sick.
I lived across the road from a pokie place in marrickville. I went in there each morning. Doubled my money, 50 to 100 and walked out and that's how I lived for a year. I guess i'm the dude taking the winnings. Sorry.
These machines and the den they exist in are drug dealing designed and profiting from addiction that has no monetary limit. The poorer the suburb the more pokie machines there are. The emptiness both emotionally and financially is life destroying.
I struggled with pokey addiction for years. The only way I was cured was a series of electric shocks to my genitals whenever I won on the pokey. These were administrered by a specially designed pokey. I worked with a psychiatrist to get a pokey installed in my home that had a kind of belt attached to it. I would wear this around my waist while I played. When I won, the belt delivered a mildly painful electric shock. I was encouraged to pplay the machine as much as possible as long as I wore the belt. The net effect was that over the period of a year I lost all interest in playing the pokies. It was 100% successful, but also had the effect that I became ridiculously addicted to naving my genitals electrocuted. Now I cannot leave the house. I am up to 10 blasts of an industrial cattle prodder per day....just to feel normal. Hang on one sec.....BBBZZZZZZZZZ !!!! Ah, that's better.
thanks for posting, not exactly what I was looking for (maybe) but it will do im looking for videos that have any evidence to suggest how rigged online slots are...like any programmers speaking out ect
It's always the first five spins and you will win small or big. This is how they get new players addicted. Me and my friend got addicted because we won putting in $3 and won $500. We went back thinking we were lucky.
I've seen three young men play about $4000 in one sitting. They do it for entertainment. They were occasionally getting a good result. On the reverse I watched an elderly person lose $50 in about five minutes. I rather have my meal and give this nonsense the flick. When manufacturers can change setting of machine to give a 60% return you should understand you will always lose in the long run. Be a loser for your hard earned monies, keep the industry going.
What if I told you that the whole system is guaranteed to end in deficit. Would that then make you stop if you knew undeniably that the whole racket is in fact fraud by design. The truth is, you don't know for sure whether it's possible or not that the whole system could be a lie. Consider that, that your whole life investment gambling could be a guaranteed loss. People would say I'm crazy right.
That already happened and thee publisher preached His full rights to it and thou shall RE-upload to RU-vid! He then Pointed His finger at the The Aristocrat Demons, and shouted, " REBEL YOU GREEDY EVIL GOBLINS! YOU SHALL GO BACK INTO THE PYRAMID OF HELL, AND BURN WITH THE MONEY WE HAVE GIVEN TO YOU!!!...REBEL ARISTOCRAT DEMONS!!!!!!"=)
The Aussie government doesn’t want people to know these fact of pokies..........As it is less money for their coffers. Tragically I know the addictive effect of pokies as I have a ole man who’s hooked to them. Plus some people when they lose too much money they turn into monsters towards the one’s they should be taking care of!!!
Australian gov has no authority over private companies such as RU-vid or Facebook...twitter etc, even Donald’s trump post removed by Facebook today. So I don’t don’t think scomo has any hope
Kay Bee I don’t play anymore mate have been off them for 18 months since I did counselling and watched this, best decision I made, I have since moved over to betting on sports and horse racing a bit but it’s no where near as bad as when I was playing pokies, so I’m much better now I Played them a good 10 years
How's the lie, to the business owners and even the government. If people didn't put their money in the pokies there money would likely still be spent.... Its money its always spent eventually.

The key to winning is discipline. Leave as soon as you make a profit and spend no more than $20 bucks a week. I’ve been doing this for 3 years and all my winnings I put in a savings account which is now at $3000. Discipline people. Discipline.
Why would you bother for only 3k over 3 years. What a waste of time. Better off spending that time increasing your earning potential in your normal day job.
You are a disgusting individual trying to show off as a lucky gambler . Noone wins on poker machines with long term playing . 95% of gamblers are long playing meaning that they always lose . A addict cannot just have one hit meaning that there is never ever any discipline .
There's good money to be made on Slots. The horror stories you hear are of addicts. I usually make about 600 a week. It's literally as simple as knowing when to stop. Either play with 10/20 euro and never more than 20 cent a spin.
Can anyone please answer my question here if possible, and please Google it if necessary or watch one on RU-vid if need be, but does a UK FOBT (fixed odds betting terminal) operate in the same way as these Australian pokies or regular slot machines do ???? Thanx very much if anybody replies 🙏🙏🙏
