Avoid slots at any means necessary! Completely rigged! – Blackjack 21: Blackjackist Review

I have been playing slots on this app for over two years and something recently (within the past few weeks has drastically changed in a bad way). In the past, you could occasionally win, hit free spins, etc. Now, it seems the only way you can win is to spend lots of real money. This entire concept makes zero sense, due to the fact that there is no real money at stake. You buy in so that you can extend game play. The way in which the app is designed, it’s progressive in nature from an addiction perspective. When I first played slots, I was winning like crazy and I thought it was the greatest thing ever! A big time adrenaline rush when you win big, even though you are playing for fake chips. LOL. Lots of fun and a rush from hitting bonus rounds, jackpots, free spins, etc. Now, after having spent thousands of dollars of real money on “buy ins” I can tell you that this app is not fun whatsoever. The only time I can win on high stake slots is if I spend several hundred dollars on fake chips. It’s uncanny how quickly I start to win, after you make the in app purchase for additional fake chips. However, here is the caveat; your win is short lived and if you continue to play, they will take away all of your winnings and then some. As I mentioned, this app is not like real slots. Not even close. It is a very addictive app and I went over a year without spending more than $10. Now, I have spent close to $20,000 OVER THE PAST 4 months and I am having a hard time quitting due to the addictive nature of the app. They get you locked in to a vicious cycle; win big, lose all, rebuy, win big, lose all, rebuy, and this will continue indefinitely until you are literally broke (not just in the app, but in real life as well). I have seen many of my friends lives destroyed, because they got addicted to this app, and some of them were spending anywhere from $10,000 to $60,000 a month, of real money on an app that has zero chance of winning any prizes, cash, etc. I would recommend that you avoid this app and find one that doesn’t prey on the competitiveness and addiction of human nature. And again, the app is structured to be a progressive addiction. You start low, and you keep moving up. For example, you can spin slots anywhere from $200 per spin of fake chips, all the way up to $5 Billion per spin. On average, $100 USD can buy you about $1 billion of fake chips to gamble with, in hopes to extend game play, impress your friends, and graduate to the next tier/level of betting. For example, a year ago I was spinning at 17.5 million per spin, and now I am spinning at 100 million per spin! At 100 million per spin, you can lose 5 billion or more within minutes... it’s quite a sad situation and the majority of the people that are playing this app, lack the self control to play the lower stake machines, hence the conundrum. In the past two weeks I have lost more than 200 billion of fake chips on this ridiculous app! You can do the math on how much real money that actually translates to (1 billion of fake chips is about $100 dollars when a sale or exclusive offer is available). Sickening to even stomach the idea of spending this kind of money and now I am broke on the app and struggling to pay my credit card bills.... My suggestion for the developers: make the app more realistic and fair so that people can actually win based on probabilities and statistics. After all, people are buying in, spending hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of dollars of real money, for fake chips, so why else would you make it so hard to win, other than the simple explanation that you are preying on the people that are getting addicted to your app, so that they will keep rebuying and you in turn will make more revenues! It’s really quite pathetic. Unless things change soon, I will not be spending one more dollar on this fake casino app.
