Why do people still go to the gambling house around the corner ?

So now I ask myself: Why do I still like to go in there? What keeps you still there?
You can also play online and you have much more choice and fun.

(*) if you play on 10 cents per spin and only on one machine on average, you lose up to 5x more in the long run. If you could theoretically start gambling right away at 2€, then you would also lose up to 5x more per machine with 2€ / spin.
See GambleJoe's advice section under Slots and Slot Games.
However, I also have to say that Merkur is more fun to play in arcades than in Online Casinos or casinos. In arcades the games are simply better implemented and online the guys from Merkur or its subsidiary edict somehow don't get it right! In casinos, if there are Merkur boxes, it is an even bigger disaster than in online casinos. Nevertheless, the chances of winning online and in casinos are significantly better.

My experiences are really mixed when it comes to gaming arcades. There was even once a regular arcade (Löwenplay at Alexanderplatz), where they knew me by name and I enjoyed talking to the staff on site. But overall, the negative experiences outweigh the positive ones, due to unpleasant encounters or broken machines.
The most unpleasant experience was this one:
Meanwhile, more than 7 years ago (to be exact, on 11.08.2010 around 10 p.m.) I decided to test a new gambling house with a buddy and we wanted to make a short detour to a gambling house at Hermannplatz in Berlin.
We just entered the arcade, I saw 8 machines, 7 of them played and one was standing around unused at a 4 roundel.
I had a few two-euro pieces in my pocket, because I had been playing a lot the days before.
I threw 3x 2€ into the machine, chose Book of Ra and set the bet to 2€.
After the second or third spin, the free spins came on 2€ bet. Symbol? Explorers!...
... 4 explorers later, there were (at that time still without 1000€ limit) over 200.000 points on the points bank (2.000€).
Original photo from back then:
That's when I felt for the first time how stupid it is when you can't pay out your win immediately, but have to wait for hours.
During this time, stranger and stranger characters came into the store, I was honestly also afraid of being mugged as soon as I went home.
So waited and waited, begrudgingly the boss himself refilled the machine after the hopper ran dry and
motivated me to try my luck at another machine while waiting.
I did not play. I waited and got nasty looks from the people who seem to have been throwing money in there for years and never had any luck...
To calm the anger of the people who gathered around my machine after the crazy win, I decided to go over to MC Donalds and buy a big bag of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, salad, ice cream and coffee for 40€. My buddy was watching the vending machine during this time...
I came back, many helped themselves to the food as a matter of course, no one thanked me. One woman even packed food in your handbag?!
So the hours passed and sometime in the morning at 3 o'clock we could leave the gambling house...
Oh, somehow it wasn't such a nice feeling - envy, resentment, the stares...
I finally got home safely by cab, but I have never been back to THIS arcade since then...

I'm glad to be at home and gamble online. Beer on the table. No annoying looks or envy.
I would have bought ned for 40Euro food for the ungrateful people.

Here in Hesse it is partly similar but also quite different. Og incidents with big wins I know too well. Finally, here in the area at night already times one was beaten up because he was observed as he has pressed 3-4x on 140. That the guy but has constantly continued to shoot and ultimately only with 200 euros from the Spielo is the idiots have not noticed. The was hospitalized with a steel rod beaten because of 200 euros! Since one runs then with 5 ... or like me already times with 17K (after gaming house) very unwillingly into the "parking garage" or on the dark parking lot. Sure - I do not care who comes there - it is only one without a weapon I have no problem - but these S****os come to 2-3-4t hence ...
But why do you really go there?
Well my reason is - the "haptic play" ... so times can stop - on keys rumklimpern - and strangely enough I let in ner spielo net 500Euro just run down. Online ... baller und baller ich... würde ich in ner Spielo net machen. I always take a part out. Ultimately, you also know one or the other and babert halt a bissel or shares his suffering over the shit boxes ... lach

You can win a maximum of 2€, so the wins are transferred to the money bank in 2€ increments. The win is also again limited to 500€ per hour. This means that after 50 action games, the machine takes a break for an hour and then you can play the next 50 action games.
Why you can not pay out wins immediately is a good question. Supposedly for reasons of player protection. People should not be animated by high wins. In truth, this is all just hypocrisy. The opportunities for private gambling providers (gambling houses) are being curtailed so that the well-heeled high rollers do not migrate from the state-run gambling houses to the gambling houses. In casinos, there are gambling-addicted high rollers who wager 20,000€ in one evening and very often leave it. In our circle of acquaintances there is a millionaire who went broke and killed himself. Player protection in casinos is not as great as it is always propagated.
Minimum stakes in casinos are usually much higher than in gaming houses (if you want to play all the paylines, the Novoline machines start at €1 and some machines at 50 cents).
In practice, this is pure self-interest on the part of the state-owned providers and also not conducive to player protection. Because what does a player, who wins nevertheless times exceptionally in the gaming house highly and then for hours on its payout or the Actiongames must wait. He continues to gamble on other slot machines.
In casinos you can also drink alcohol and if you are well drunk and hit one €500 bill after the other into the boxes, then no one there cares. At least that's my observation, and I've seen it happen a lot. This is all pure hypocrisy in my opinion. Instead of honestly admitting that you pursue your own interests, you act as if everything was only in the interest of the players.
But they also don't want to bully the gaming industry too much (they also have a strong lobby). In practice it is so that in casinos the better well-heeled players are excluded and us rabble is left to bleed in gambling houses without prospect of real wins. Small players, who occupy all the machines in casinos with minimum bet, are not welcome neither by the better-off players, nor by the casino.
As it is regulated at present, everyone is content. A thorn in the side of Gauselmann, as well as of the state providers, are Online Casinos, even if Gauselmann itself has to get involved there. On the Internet, the Gauselmann group, which is the market leader in Germany, has to face competition like NetEnt, Microgaming & Co. The high rollers can also be lost to the state casinos and last but not least, the state hardly earns anything from the taxes - at least not the German state.

so the winning system in spielos, not your explanation;-)
sounds to me also like the complete opposite of player protection.
what do you do if you do not have time for hours? or the spielo closes?
