Myth: This machine is due! Reality: No machine is ever hot or due to win. To ensure that no player has an advantage, all machines are programmed to be random with winning results impossible to predict. Every spin gives you the same chance of winning, or more often... losing.

Does gambling involve any skills? Games such as bingo, lotteries, slot machines and VLTS (all games of chance), do not involve any level of skill. No amount of play or practice will make you successful - there are no skills to develop.

MYTH: "If I play more than one slot machine or more than one poker game at a time, I’ll increase my chances of winning." FACT: The outcome of each game is based on chance, and playing multiple games simultaneously doesn't affect the outcome.

Gambling addiction can act very similarly to drug addiction. In both cases, the reward pathway in the brain can be stimulated, creating a sense of satisfaction.

MYTH: Poker is a game of skill, and I’m good at it! BUSTED: Yes, there are some elements of skill, but don’t be fooled into thinking your skill can outweigh chance. With millions of possible hands, the luck of the draw is most often the deciding factor.
