There used to be more tinsel - or why online casinos simply don't shoot...

I just have to get this off my chest. Not because I want sympathy - but because I am convinced that many people out there feel exactly the same as I do.

I've been playing online casino for over 10 years. I've spent months testing every platform, taking the Welcome bonus everywhere. And in the past? You could still win back then. I was almost always able to pay out over 1,000 euros, sometimes even 5,000 or more - and regularly.
And the best thing about it? No problems with withdrawals, no blocking, no stress. It worked. It was fair. And yes - it felt good somewhere too.

And today?
You deposit. Again. And again. And what happens? Nothing at all.
Yes, every now and then there's a win that gives you hope - but that's it. It used to be different. Much more intense. Much more real.

What strikes me is that the slots simply run disastrously.
Sometimes you really get the feeling that the casino flips a switch somewhere and says: "So, nothing's working today."
And then - all of a sudden, on other days - everything escalates completely. Free spins in every slot, wins, hits, as if someone had switched on the lucky machine.
But days like that are now the absolute exception.

I remember times when that was completely normal:
Moon Princess with a 5 euro bet - 1000x.
Wild Heist, five times the keys on a 5 bet.
Reactoonz - I had 15 pink symbols several times.
These were not dreams. That was reality. And it was addictive, of course - but at least it was still possible to win something.

Today it just feels empty.
You play, hope and lose. Again and again.
And I play just like I used to - sometimes low, sometimes high - but almost nothing happens anymore.

And yes - I'm being honest:
I didn't get two really big wins (11,000 euros and 6,000 euros) because I bought free spins in the bonus.
That was my fault. I didn't think about it at the time. I just did it.
Stupidity, greed, no idea - but that was down to me. But it still hurts.

I just wanted to let my thoughts run free.
Because I believe that there are many out there who think exactly the same thing:
Gambling isn't what it used to be.

You used to have a sense of anticipation when you logged in.
Today you just have a bad feeling in your stomach.
And when you do hit something, you immediately think:
"Do they even pay that out?"

Online Casino 2024 feels like a shadow of the past.
An empty promise. A game without a soul.

And that's a damn shame.

In terms of feeling, the free spins hardly give you anything. You're rushing around and are happy when you finally see all the bonus symbols appear, then there's a brief adrenaline rush and then you realize immediately after a few spins that there's not much in it and in most cases you're disappointed because you get spit out around €10
