Somewhere I wrote already times something in addition.Mir strikes again and again the Lottospieler obviously a special role in Zockerwelt.Offenbar even an exceedingly positive.Wenn I every morning my bread etc. with the local merchant get strikes me one again and again: Particularly Wednesdays & Fridays prevails at the Lottoannahmestelle active hustle and bustle.Mr. Mueller or Mrs. Meier give times again their system ticket off.Da gehts correctly to the thing, it three-digit amounts are invested.Since also nobody is looked at crookedly or suspiciously beäugt.Apparently that is completely normal in the Lottobranche again and again the same people week for week their money verzocken.Und what it is pleased if times 20 euro are won.Großartig! Player protection? Missing ! Just as a total loss as most stakes.I must honestly say that it annoys me a little.If I get me a PSC for 50 euros (and that happens certainly not weekly) I increasingly have the feeling that one holds me almost for "pathological". "Na times again daddeln?" I was asked recently times - and with a pretty condescending tone.I would have the guy really ...... well let's leave that.I really wonder what it is that lottery playing enjoys such a wide acceptance and tolerance.Because honestly - a still safe method to flush his money within minutes in the toilet you have to find first.

It's just a "social" game with high acceptance.
The fact that the state earns the most is known to the fewest or they ignore it.
And very very few big winners just.
Millions are simply tempting

Playing the lottery - for example, I completely lack the appeal of investing money in it.
Why? I don't know, I just don't believe in the big Jackpot in the sense that I would win it if I only picked 6 numbers.
So I once made a system ticket, where you could choose 8 of 49 numbers, but accordingly the ticket was more expensive.
Result: 3 right, profit 240 euro, because this 3s counted probably several times?
I have no idea... Lotto will never be an alternative to casinos for me...
I also play jackpot slots very rarely, somehow I lack the belief that I can really crack the biggest jackpot.

Well, everybody plays the lottery and the drawings are regularly shown on TV. And what comes on TV, must be serious
It is roughly comparable with the topic of alcohol and marijuana. Alcohol is socially accepted and marijuana is not. Although marijuana is a comparatively milder drug that has not yet claimed a single life.

The comparison is misleading, because the addiction factor of Slot machines is much higher than that of lotteries - but it's all about social acceptance. I once talked to a scratch card seller and there are also people who are addicted to scratch cards. They buy weekly for 300€ scratch tickets. I am sure that there are also pathological lottery players - even if they are more likely to be a rarity, right?

In any case, lotto addicted players gamble at the worst payout rates.

Lotto, scratch tickets and the state Games of chance have the comparatively worst odds. For Scratch cards and lotto it is about 50%. That means, if you could play scratch cards and lotto like slot machines (20 games per minute), you would lose 50 cents per 1€ ticket on average. That's incredible, if you compare that:

Machine in online casino & casino (payout 95%): 20 games * 60 minutes * 5% house advantage (0,05€) = 60€ average loss per playing hour
Machine in gambling houses & pubs (payout 75%): 20 games * 60 minutes * 25% house advantage (0,25€) = 300€ average loss per gambling hour
Scratch tickets & Lotto (payout 50%): 20 games * 60 minutes * 50% house advantage (0,50€) = 600€ average loss per gaming hour.

Then scratch tickets and lotto still have an extremely high Variance, i.e. most players would lose significantly more than 600€ / hour and very few would clear really blatant (but very few).

Whether socially accepted or not: Before you invest 10€ in lotto, it is smarter to use this money in a Jackpot game such as Hall of Gods by NetEnt in an online casino than in the lotto. Here you can also win millions (just as unlikely as in Lotto) but you have a higher chance to win a smaller prize 300 - 2,000€. And even if not, then at least you had some fun in the end.

I myself play the lottery only very rarely. But in my opinion, this is still more gambling than in Online Casinos where you are anything but anonymous.
If you pick the right numbers you win. No one can influence what numbers you tick. In the casino they have everything from you, name, IP address, what you Deposit, what you win and pay out. Whether there are not running programs in which all this flows. Would not put my hand in the fire that there is no such thing. Am just a conspiracy theorist

Well, I used to think that way too, and when I have a bad run or a time when I'm just unlucky, those thoughts come from time to time without me being able to fight them. But objectively, after the experiences of the last few years, I think it is very unlikely. Of course, everything you do is logged but in my opinion nothing is influenced

How else could a Robin win 160.000€ as a rather small player? See here: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/merkur-casino-verweigert-auszahlung/

Or why do bad online casinos systematically make payout problems with small players who win a lot? If everything was controlled, this would be completely unnecessary.

Why do some startup casinos go out of business with too little money and had bad luck with too many big winners at the beginning (has also happened). That is why many startup casinos also limit the payout limit to a maximum of €10,000 / month or less to minimize this risk. Jackpot winnings are mostly excluded from these regulations, as these are paid out directly by the game manufacturers.

Ok, and why then make such a Trouble and the player first not pay out for 6 months? In the end, the casino had to be forced by the regulatory authority to pay out the money. So a great hanger is not. The casino is worse off than before after the whole trouble I think.

At the moment there is a video circulating on Facebook of Mr Green where a player hits the Jackpot on the game Holmes and the stolen Stones on 20 cents bet. She wins over 27000 euros. Is this fake or real?
