May is turning out to be a very slow month in the world of online slots. Next to no new online slots games and the only tournaments that are out of the ordinary left is the Memorial Day one at VIP Slots.
The last couple of weeks the only thing anyone really sees in the online slots news is who has won what progressive jackpot at what online casino for how much money. I get that people are writing about progressive slots winners because there really is nothing much else in terms of news. That is how you know slots are slow.
But there is one problem I have with posting about progressive jackpot winners—which is why I do not write about them here on Slots Hero, and that is that those announcements are meant as lures.
These lures are meant to send the message of ‘Look at this person whose life was changed by winning this much money—the same thing can happen to you too if you come play this game at this online casino.’
I am a fan of playing online slots for the enjoyment of the casino game. I get that the odds are against me and the house edge can be a tad on the steep side. I understand and accept this. I play for the fun of it. To my thinking that is a healthy mindset to approach online slots with. It allows me to enjoy the online slots I play without putting me at risk of a gambling addiction.
The thing with progressive slots games is that players are drawn in by the jackpots, and they will keep wagering and wagering and wagering, sometimes wagering away more money than they intended all in the name of trying to win that jackpot. It can put players at the risk of becoming compulsive online slots players. And that is why I do not write about progressive online slots wins.
