- warent 8y agoNobody is forced to play, but there's a lot of human psychology hacking that the casino employs to get people to gamble more. Takeaway: Hacking humans is legal. Hacking a casino algorithm? Stop right there criminal scum.
- gkoberger 8y agoWell, gambling isn't legal in many states. And both the way they're made and way they're advertised is heavily regulated. I'd say it's a bit dramatic to say "hacking humans is legal". (I mean, it is legal via ads, but even those are regulated to a certain extent)

- sidr 8y agoOn the flip side, nobody is forcing the casinos to not upgrade their slot machines with this known flaw. If the casinos work by exploiting a flaw in human psychology, why can't we exploit a flaw in their machines?
- JohnTHaller 8y agoMost people who play slots think that the games are fair... as in completely random. They're not, though. They use specific patterns to trick gamblers into thinking they 'almost won' on the screen.
