They have invented the slot machines to do evil. It was one of the most important if not the most important moneymaker in a casino, sports club or country club.
Slot machine has often been called the crack cocaine of gambling because electronic gaming is the most ‘addictive’ form of gambling. It has contributed more to causing problem gambling than any other gambling activity.
On 5 Feb 2015, I have finally admitted that I was truly powerless over slot machines and apply for a self-exclusion ban in my country specially for slot machine and legal online betting account.
I could not stop using slot machines on my own; the ban has successfully stop me from using a slot machine in my country for 9 years.
How can I be so blinded by these slot machines?
The evidence was so clear for all to see now – my contribution to the family every month only start after my ban. Before the ban, these electronic gaming machines have milk me dry and take away all my money every month.
I remember always feeling very guilty and very ashamed to face my family after feeding the machines; I have nothing to feed my family.
Slot machines was my coping mechanism to help me deal with strong feelings and emotions in life. Now I am learning how to manage and cope with my feelings and emotions in other ways.
I am no more a slave to slot machine and alcohol today. I can focus in other problem areas now.
