I was a developer in gambling industry and now I am led dev at steemslotgames.com.

At my previous company we were spending a lot of time on creating exciting math models and
designing animations people will enjoy.

I cannot agree casinos are scams, they are dangerous for people who "tries to break code", "find pattern". Cause these are the people who can become addicted.

Now I will suprise you...

Casinos don't likes addicted people! They attack personel missbehave and are always sad and makes bad advertisement. Casinos often through them away or ban forever.

Casinos has got much more money from people who just loves gambling, but in a good way. People who: have to much money, like to risk, understands the risk and comes and leaves no matter what happened with smile on their faces.

Another thing.
I was working with guy responsible for games like candy crush, this small games with micro payments etc. and he told me that gambling in comparison to this is extremely fair industry.

People quickly addict to this browser games and then they spend thousands of dollars on upgrading some imaginary sweets or farm. They end up with nothing in the end. (He told me there is a group of people who spends more then a 20 thousands dollar a month on this).

Whats more, this browser games are often pointed at childs and yes, they are designed to addict childs, gambling at least tries to filter childs from audience.

I won't talk a lot about dices cause I see them just as very poor slots, with extremely not entertaining math model.

I just remember something, you know why there are so many dices on blockchain?
Cause they all copy-paste the same code from github! :D

Slots are about:

1. Big Wins
2. Fun
3. Jackpot
4. Social validation - ego boost on posting Big Wins (That's why slots streaming is growing so fast)

If you don't have fun, don't play. I personally love one slot or maybe two.

For those who want to know the name of slot I like is "Lost Relics" from NetEnt. Amazing graphics, amazing variance, hidden features and music created by world wide known compositor.

So what you think about my opinion? I put so many things here, I hope you won't lost at my thoughts.
