Are Women Playing To Win At Casino Slots?
Women usually play more "random games" that are generally played
alone and require less skill or knowledge. Random games of luck may
include bingo, slot machines, lotteries, scratch tickets, pull-tabs, and
raffles.
Some statistics indicate that Americans take approximately 290 million+
casino gambling trips each year. More than a quarter of U.S. adults
gambled at North American casinos and possibly as many have tried their
luck online at virtual casino's. It is thought that women may make up
the majority of online gambling Internet users.
The Games of Choice borne out by the shear number of slot machine's in
anyone casino it does seem that gamblers prefer to play slot machines
even though the odds of winning anything significant are extremely low.
Without exception, slot machine's are known to be among the worst bet at
any casino. Having said that, slot machines remain the most popular game
of choice for both men and women, but men are often drawn to competition
type of games with fast action and big money stakes. It is widely known
that women tend to gravitate toward the less competitive games where
there is a larger element of luck such as Bingo, casino slots or video
poker machines.
Twenty years ago gambling was thought to be more of a male domain but
times have changed. With the legalization and increased access, gambling
has become North America's fastest growing industry. The states collect
the taxes, the casino's collect the profits and the loser's pay the
price.
Gambling engages people of all ages, income levels, cultures and sexual
orientations. The number of women who gamble is increasing rapidly and
now equals or exceeds the number of men, with lifetime losses increasing
for both men and women. Men may have slightly higher losses than women
due to their choice of game where the buy in starts at a higher level,
and so we come to the point of this press release which is reducing the
player's loss liability when playing the game of land based casino
slots.
We do not encourage gambling as such, but what we do strongly encourage
is to be aware of your odds of winning and making a profit at the game
of land based casino slots, and to put it bluntly, your odds of earning
a profit are terrible.
