Hello it all started 14 years ago... a friend said "come play also times two euros on 10 cents" and you win twenty euros even 250 euros were then still loosely possible and at some point you think "today I go times without my acquaintances, but somehow fun"! And it was just great back then, you were still allowed to smoke, the drinks were free and with twenty euros you could play forever!!! I have actually never gambled more than 50 euros! With that I played the whole evening. I had at least twice a month four explorers in the free spins or with Lucky Lady, Dolphins etc 400 free spins. Oh it was just fun and the losses were really limited for me. On the contrary, I was actually always in the plus. At some point the thrill was much higher on 40 cents, then times on 50 cents play and at some point on 1 euro. I also sometimes play on 2 euros but I HAVE NEVER won on two euros more than 800 euros...unfortunately.
Well 400 free spins there was at some point no more as probably everyone can confirm
Also my wins were on twenty cents often higher than on 60/1 euro. With 400 euros in the evening I often played only two hours. 400 Euro da 350 da and 200 da ...I wanted my money back! I was so fixed to win the money again that I only lost more. At some point it makes click in the head and you go first no more. But as soon as the pay is there you could try a fuffi...you win a little bit and immediately you are back in the vicious circle.
When the spielos set up the new machines, I found one with old equipment and threw my entire pay into it
Then my curiosity won out and I tested the new machines! I went to gamble 4 times and won 4 times. I even had five Scatters on Lucky. I was totally surprised...finally you can play again like before. This bonus prize came up all the time and there were also many full screens. It was finally fun again. But today the disillusionment!!!!!!! The machines ran worse than ever before!!!!! Were they intentionally set up to lure players? Either no games came at all and if no games come one is forced to play on 10 cents and if games came then there was no money!!! This constant booking and after 60 euros 30 minutes bet break....Boar I was so p**sed off inside! Why does one do such a thing to himself???? Why do you waste your precious time??? That one throws in 1000 euros to get three hundred out? I have just lost 200 euros in the shortest time. I played three magic games and the money was gone in no time. I want to finally stop!!! There was no month for years where I was really in the plus. As soon as you win something, three quarters of the win is distributed again
For each smallest part you are too stingy to buy but two euros a turn you can afford. It's just sick! I want my old life back! There must be another solution for "shutting down".I hope someday all the game stores close! There is no point anymore! The operators and the state will always be rich and we poorer! 40 billion turnover and we do not even have more fun! If I throw 200 euros in then they should pay out half again and I can then decide whether I take the money again or continue to play. But the machine will pay out nothing....The only losers are WE! All win and become richer only WE not!

Strictly speaking, if you are honest, you very often have the opportunity to pay out a part again, but you play until it is gone. The city is also to blame for failing to provide good Player protection - but you are always partly to blame and you must not forget that. If it's really important to you, you get help, take all measures and improve your gambling behavior to a level where it's fun again or stop. But you always take your chances and if it doesn't work out it's someone else's fault, I know that about myself and that's why I decided to quit.

Because I can't regulate it, but the stories I hear here are already close to madness. Huge credit, wife and children, ... is no longer missing much... all this can not be blamed on the state. You can't always expect someone to look after you, you have to start thinking and acting for yourself. You learn early in life that you can not entrust everything to others, but must be active themselves.

Live a few weeks on the street and you will lose your own esteem. Maybe you'll be lucky and only become a criminal.
Ne Jung, it doesn't work like that
A therapy you can not do so easily, it requires a LOT of courage and initiative!

There are two options.

1) You have enough self-confidence and stop now.

2) You go to addiction help. There you will have individual and group counseling. You will also turn in all bank/credit cards. You will live on pocket money and food vouchers. You will have to sign a receipt for all your expenses for several months.

After that you will be ready to go to outpatient therapy (12 months) or inpatient therapy (6 weeks).
Many addicts are already helped by the withdrawal of money, plus honest emotional conversations, both with your favorite people and with the therapists.


The desire for a nationwide ban on gambling establishments will not be fulfilled. This is where it really starts!

Hmm somehow I have the feeling the forum is developing into an addiction platform in which everyone wants to find heard ...
Sure, the situation you describe sucks ... but do you think such a post brings something?
Or do you hope for encouragement?
You realize yourself it does not go on? then change what

And now tell me briefly what exactly YOUR post brings you, him or the general public?

His says a thousand times more than your answer and if he only keeps one of the newcomers who read this from landing where he is, he has in this forum also a thousand times more value and raison d'être than your answer. Because their sense or value I can honestly not find at all...

Sorry, do not want to attack you, but a forum on this subject should and may the subject of Gambling addiction just as little conceal, censor or treat users who write about it then as you have just done...

You are not completely wrong.
It can / may of course write here everyone what he wants.
I do not want to attack here, but would it not make more sense to register in an addiction forum?

Sure. More sense in any case. But I just think that everyone here should be able to endure the confrontation with such topics. And just this topic to exclude or banish would be somehow just as far past the reality, as it would be close to self-denial. Of course, it would be easier not to deal with it..

Every addiction brings negative things with it. Gambling, smoking, alcohol etc. I also believe that many know it, but everyone must decide for themselves how to deal with it. Whether he needs help and realizes it or not
