So it started with me at 17 that began the interest in gaming, here and there times Heimlich 2Dm thrown into the box, with 18 after the service in a pub nen Heiermann (5DM) thrown into a box called the sun disc and just let run, then of course immediately ran nen 150ig picture and I'm with Knapp 500DM home at that time, from then on I was Angefixt But everyone knows that, since then I'm there in the gamer community, sometimes more sometimes less, was in the meantime even times 1.5 years game free! At least manage to keep my limits for years, but stop from now on I could not believe

I started at the end of 25 / beginning of 26 in a pub of a friend. Between the ages of 18 and 25, I tried one of those machines and threw in €1 or a few pennies or a few marks. Between 18 and 25, I may have gambled away a total of 10€ - if it comes up.

Previously, the pensioners have always gambled on the boxes and I have never understood how you can play something like that.

I remember a situation in a pub where I also knew the landlord. It was in 2002, shortly after the changeover from DM to Euro. The landlord went around the corner because suddenly a cheering started at the Slot machine set up there. I followed the landlord, but did not understand what was going on. In a later conversation with the landlord, he told me that the approx. 50-year-old guest, who played daily at this machine, won about 600€. It could have been also 600DM (300€), because at that time all still converted. In any case, the host predicted that the guest would throw the money back in 2 days at the latest, but that he could afford it because he earned well. He added that I should not start with it - which I did not intend at the time.

What I couldn't understand at that time is why one would want to win money at a slot machine when one has enough money. I also didn't understand how something like that could be addictive. The evening was quickly forgotten and if someone had told me that evening that I would be sitting in front of such a machine myself about 6 or 7 years later, I would have laughed at him.

I find this thread very interesting. Especially because it shows how many people started to gamble when they were far under 18 years old. Is there anyone here who has started online gambling?

Started at 25 in a pub, and quickly switched to Spielothek, after I had twice fetched 60 DM from the machine there. Then many years every weekend through the night gambled, this Spielo had 23h open. Online I had started about 8 years ago, in between I also had completely gambling-free years

My first experience with gambling I had maybe with 11 or 12 on the small fair
There was always a car with pinball, video games and such a part where lots of coins were stacked behind a glass pane and then slide down when you throw a coin in the top
I don't know if there were real Slot machines in there (are these things still around?),
i always just stood at the coin part and spent the money my mom gave me for the small fair there
When I told her that I had gambled away the money, she had shat me together and enlightened that only idiots think they can win big

Only when also Casinoslots at Pokerstars was integrated (2015 ?) I have begun to deal with slots. Before that I already played Poker for about 3-4 years
So I came to play online slots only with 33 or 34.
However, I have never stood at a real Slot machine : )

I Can remember so well, as if today happened 😛Then I was only 16 years old.🙈
In my apprenticeship there was an apprentice who persuaded us to go to the pub to 6 apprentice we were there.
In the pub were 10 Slot machines and only old men were in it except us
At the set up slot machines we stop,
I was first only spectators. An apprentice explained to me how it works
My first 5 DM bet I won 300 DM -😊
From then on, we regularly gamble twice a week, even in gaming arcades
Two years we gamble until I met my first great love the could so garnix start.🐼
6 years ago I started again with Online Casinos 489 euros win Current until now.👹
The time I would still not want to miss we had a lot of fun 🍺😊

I started gambling online about a year ago, meanwhile I'm 18 so it's legal I was introduced by a friend who always gambled with me in bio lessons. At some point I made a Deposit myself, from then on always partly on sports betting (agreed with others of the same age from my year) and partly invested in slots. Protection of minors is apparently written quite small, at Tipico is at least neither the play, nor the withdrawal with nem wrong date of birth a problem. Meanwhile, I play mostly only Roulette, except Bonuses comes nix in the slots. Currently with 150€ in the plus. The addiction problem is slowly becoming clearer to me, at least I pay in more often and do not want to miss the fun. As long as I stay in the plus is, so I've set it at least, all good.

Kleinkariert wrote on 05/07/2019 at 00:31: 16, was introduced by my older brother, always thought it was stupid but at some point it was fun and at some point there was a huge win and I wanted to have the experience again and really great wins have not been since that night. There were ups and downs, I'm happy that on some nights although they were borderline but somehow I could always pull myself together not to throw everything into the fire.

Stopped playing online for now, but plan to start when I have legal security. We go from time to time in the Spielo, we know that the RTP there is terrible but we play there for 20 € on low stakes in slow motion and are sometimes grumbled at by some regular players because we occupy their third machine (not every Spielo takes it so seriously with the law).

why with the laws it is allowed to play multiple machines as long as they are accessible without code only with the code machines you may have one

Yes, for me it started with online shooter gambling. Counted strike Go, if anyone knows it, started with gambling back then. First jackpots, where everyone could bet his virtual "items" to win others, which you could then use or sell on a platform for real money!
Then there was also Roulette and at about 18 I tried it once in the online casino. I always kept away from gambling houses 😁
