I Know right! A few weeks ago I went to my local casino and lost all my money. The next guy to use the slot machine won ten grand. Now, I’m working at McDonalds to use up that final 10%!
In australia, its actually illegal to have a casino without clocks/windows. I think thats why las vegas was such a culture shock to me, because as james mentions, you step into the airport and BOOM casino.
Former slot technician; as soon as you hit the play button the entire gamble is determined in milliseconds. Even if you get 1000 free plays, the end total is known to the machine right away.
Does that matter? Whether the end result is known or not wouldn't make a difference if it's not rigged. I assume it's rigged but you just said it's predetermined
I love how one of the claw machines is called “Dingo Bingo” with a picture of Bingo, attention to detail in his videos is insane. Keep up the great work!
Casinos are so fascinating from a psychological level because they utilize the sunk cost fallacy and near miss effect to an absurd degree. The golden apples section is a great point to both of these.
Only if you're going just to make money. If youre going with 250$ just to have a fun time, then it doesnt matter because youre not chasing after the idea of winning
Hi James! I am a casino dealer mainly for blackjack! I always tell customers who stop "It is very admirable to know when to stop" whether up or down. Of course I can't say certain things like "dude, you are up $5k and you bought in at this table for $100, walk away! Run go leave! Take your winnings go!" that does kill me lol. I do whatever i can in my limitations to encourage gaming responsibly.
But you can't tell them NEVER gamble again! Because it doesnt' matter if you play the next 100 or 1000 hands that day, or in three weeks, the odds are pretty much the same. Now betting on sports, that's a whole different thing.
Born and raised in Nevada, and this is a perfect explanation of gambling. Oh this and remember that casinos are able to offer room rates and other benefits that are cheap when compared to similar offerings from non-casino resorts, but are just their way to get you into their resort
That snake was so, Interesting, In the best way possible. Why did the voice, character, and animation all fit so perfectly?!! James, your legit a legend.
As somebody who noticed right away at 18 that I was prone to gambling addiction when I started having unhealthy thoughts at the scratchoff machine, you did a really good job portraying it. All the excuses and convincing yourself, it can become a really vicious cycle, especially when you use your debt as your new excuse for gambling cuz you gotta get outta debt somehow right? Luckily I had the self awareness and stepped back from it at 18 when I realized how much those scratch offs sink their hooks into me. I'm my mid 20s, and I've still never stepped foot inside a casino
@@ceciliacardoso4331 I wouldn't really call it progress as much as cutting it off before it became a real problem. I never let it get out of control. I only actually gambled for like 6 months, and it was never bad, but the amount I'd spend slowly increased month after month. Then the irrational "cmon I'm so close to a big hit, I can't stop now or somebody else is gunna get my jackpot" thoughts started getting stronger and more compelling, which made me realize that I'm just not the kind of person who can enjoy gambling casually. My best advice is to just know yourself as well as you possibly can, and don't lie to yourself. Then you can spot issues before they become serious
My uncle works security as a bouncer at a casino and he sees the SAME people every day. Not the employees, but the customers. He's seen people win HUGE jackpots, only to gamble it all away in the same day or the same week. Sure there are people he sees once and never sees again like tourists, but since he lives in a small town and it's an Indian Casino, the regulars really stand out as people with gambling addictions.
It’s kinda fascinating to have grown up with this channel and watch it go from talking about elementary school activities to warning people to not gamble irresponsibly.
@@thrifty. It wasn't so much as degrading as it was strange, which was more my point. They don't know James, or anything about him. Saying "I'm so proud of you" to a person you don't know outside of a parasocial relationship has the capability to come off as strange or uncomfortable. That's all I was trying to say, and I'm absolutely fine, thanks for asking.
@@morganbeck402 bruh theyre proud as in watching james from the start of his yt career , he had mostly choppy animation on his vids because he didnt have time / couldnt afford many animators to work on his vids. Compared to know, he has a whole team of people working on his vids with a shit ton of people vastly improving his animation and just making the videos look way better than the past to show how much he's grown and how he's more capable to do so
@@morganbeck402 yeah I guess I can see what you're getting at but some people do find it comforting that their fans and supporters are there and care for them. We a;; different tho, you welcome.

I mean, at least you stopped doing it, and that's all that matters. Believe me, I did the same thing you did too, and now, I learned to use my money for better things. Don't beat yourself over something you did a long time ago because you learned from your mistakes just like I did. I wish the best for you and nothing but the best.
I remember someone once said that casinos are the adult version or arcades and ever since It always trips me out how right they are. The only difference is you get toys instead of money
I remember my first and only time in a casino. It was a birthday party for a family member and I walked in with a $200 limit I set myself. Sat at my very first machine and won $382 on a $10 bet, spent the rest of the day at the buffet, wasn't taking anymore chance lol
Fun fact: I gambled probably over $300 of my parents money once trying to win a sonic plushy at an arcade and never got one, still haunts me to this day
XD this is why I dont let my kid near those things... I strongly suggest next time you see those things... ask your parents for money to use it, if they say yes, look around for a shop with toys in it, then point one out instead your parents would much rather spend money on an exchange than have it go into those machines... Well... that is unless their using those machines to keep you entertained, then its money well spent XD
those crane machines are rigged. they are so flimsy they can barely grab anything and if by chance it happens to grab something theres a chance it will just open up before it gets to the drop point
6:17 Absolutely, that is the only thing that is happening. When you think about it, a game that has three tokens per jackpot and five jackpots would guarantee a 1/5 per jackpot. But NO. Whether it is a real or fake slot, it will ALWAYS swap it out. You truly have about a 0.2% chance or less of EVER getting that grand. Why don’t they play these Match 3 games physically? Think about it! They either A: lie, B: put a single card in a stack of hundreds in order to make it impossible to select most rounds, or C: Go bankrupt as soon as many people win. It’s so they don’t go bankrupt… sure, it’s a pretty horrible strategy, but it works… most people will be gullible enough to believe it’s just their luck. And as someone who both wins most of their 5*s in Genshin and also pulls most of them early, trust me when I say… it’s not your luck, it’s the game.
This video is so great because your experience is identical to most addicts that get hooked. I worked in a casino bar for five years, and every single one of them had DOZENS of stories just like the anecdotes in the video. They take it further though. These stories will create superstitions that completely defy rational thought as well. Had these regulars we called "the screen lickers" because one time the husband's finger was wet from the condensation of his beer bottle, and he rolled a jackpot. So then he started getting cups of water and dipping his finger in to wet the screen. And then he got too lazy for that and started licking his finger instead. And then his wife started to do the same thing. It's wild. I once tried to explain the scam of jackpots to a regular out of curiosity to see if she would understand. In my state, jackpot winners of over $1200 owe 30% of the winnings back to the state for taxes. Since regulars/addicts are statistically the most likely jackpot winners and will just put all the money back...jackpots are literally a tax on being addicted. And they just don't get it. They whooped and hollered regardless and tipped me, the bartender, hundreds of dollars for their win...on a slot machine. Because it's supposedly good luck. Gambling addicts aren't just people who don't understand the stacked math of gambling, they're actually so superstitious that logic loses meaning to them entirely.

This is the first time I’ve watched an odd1sout video in a long time, and let me say… the animation has improved so much! It’s so smooth, and now animated completely, whereas before it was only just a few frames. It looks so good 🤩
That's a video I always go back to because I was 100% on board with Dan scolding him for just betting all the money again and again (stopping only by being distracted by fart noises) Then when all hope seems lost, all that built up is paid off. Amazing second hand gambler's rush!
The Gospel: (I am not a bot, I'm just someone who enjoys spreading the gospel. Much love to you all!) The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over His enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy. Peter says in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.” So Christ died not only to forgive sin, but also that it might die in the lives of His people. ~Quoting John Piper~ ALSO My friend put together a great PowerPoint about the Gospel and Jesus being the prophesied Messiah. I'd like to share if you're interested, just reply and I can send you the link. May Jesus Bless you!
Before my parents were married, they took a trip to Vegas with a group of friends. When they went to the first casino, my mom bet just a quarter. She won fifty cents, put the quarters in her pocket, and then said "okay, I'm done". Iconic family story.
The golden apple thing is not a coincidence. That's how con artists work. They give you small successes at the beginning: "Oh look, that worked, look, it worked again, there's NO way it'll fail now--" and then they run off with your biggest bet yet.
Here's the thing about that, it is required by law, that professional slot machines don't rig outcomes, so the owners that do that are actual criminals.
"Opening up a booster pack and not getting any expensive cards....is like loosing your entire life savings" This quote embodies TCGs so well. And totally gives me Celebrations PTSD.
@@Eddielyric idk i dont really like it, kinda seems a bit commercial now not like the simple shit he used to make. I think its going to turn into what Gametheorys turning into. where slowly not only is james not doing the animation but the voiceovers too. im not even sure he chose the topic of gambling by his description hes hiring story board people as well. imo this channel is eventually going to become a mimic of what james content was, and cease to have that casual style the old videos had.
@@edwardsheeran9220 As MatPat said, Game Theory has always been a collaborative channel, James's channel has always been his own, so I doubt he would stop doing the voicing since it was only ever him doing it.
@@jaydenvo1114 i don't think game theory's channel has always been a collaborative channel, sure nowadays fine, but most of his videos were by himself or with one of his content creator buddies. Which James also does lol
As someone who’s planning a birthday in Las Vegas, the rush is truly something else. Casinos are definitely built to make you feel like you have a chance rather than having you deal with the reality your more likely to lose more rather than win (hence, the budget). Still mad fun!
Nothing made me happier than seeing Arin’s Fortress of Solitude on 23. Thank you James for bringing it to animation… again.Thanks for the two hundred dollary
James: “You all should gamble so you learn first hand how stupid gambling is!” Me: *Distracted at how shiny James’ butt is* The entire animation team is doing AMAZING! I’m absolutely in awe of how well detailed every frame is! Casinos are just really pretty to look at😂
As someone who went to Vegas this past summer, I can confirm that the SECOND you step off the jetbridge at Harry Reid, you see slot machines. And you will likely see one every 2 feet for the duration of your stay.
Ok but the animation tho, you can see the improvement, ive had to double take and rewind countless times because the work is so *outstanding* props to everyone who worked on this y'all out did yourselves, my goodness, yalls work does not go unnoticed🤩🤩
I know it sounds crazy at first, but if the stats screen is telling the truth, then listening to it does give more of a chance to win. No roulette wheel can me manufactured perfectly, so even brand new ones will have a very slight bias towards a certain number. Now, a roulette wheel that's been used will have more marks, and the most marks will be around the numbers that came out the most. All of these impacts the ball, and mainly slows them down, so those numbers will come out even more. Therefore those stats might be worth considering.
Leaps and bounds improvement in your animation AND a Netflix series! Congrats on your dreams coming true. You and your team’s hard work is inspiring me to continue animating.
James be like: "If I had a nickel for every time someone turned two golden apples and three bronze apples in the casino, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice."
Crikey mate, I love to have a crack of gambling with my dollary doos every once in a while, I mean, I open Pokémon cards Also Crikey, the lighting on that snake was crackin’, keep up the great work
Here in Australia we have a really bad gambling problem (you have ads telling you that if you gamble you contribute to donating for charity) so it’s actually quite funny to see your first experience was in Australia. If you stay here long enough you’ll realise how normalised and serious of a problem it is here
I love that no matter how much his vids have changed lol, he still brings up Magic the gathering (: really humanizes James,and he’s already super down to earth lol
You and your crew have become so amazing at animation, you guys seem to be talking to yourself every time as the years go by and each new video comes out
Anime references this time: Kakegurui (main schoolgirl outfit from the gambling anime) and I think that was Kishibe sitting down gambling. (Denji’s sensei from chainsaw man) When he introduced himself to Denji and Power, he said he loved gambling and women. I think don’t quote me lol
I had a very negative view on gambling a few weeks ago, until I went to my very first casino with a lady friend. I discovered all these points on my own, and I'm glad that you shared them like this to the world!
@@SMCwasTaken that is the dumbest most dangerous advice. Humans are human. They will definitely end up making a "fun" habit more frequent over time with each session that they play until they become regular and bam before you know it you're hooked. Out of every fun hobby in the entire world you are seriously telling someone to do this? This isn't even ethical and you are supporting the casinos by giving them money which is exactly what gambling is, giving disgusting greedy people more money to continue screwing over families and people who have a house to return to. Maybe a father, maybe a mother, maybe a son.

XD this is why I dont let my kid near those things...
I strongly suggest next time you see those things...
ask your parents for money to use it, if they say yes,
look around for a shop with toys in it, then point one out instead
your parents would much rather spend money on an exchange than have it go into those machines...
Well... that is unless their using those machines to keep you entertained, then its money well spent XD
Arcades are fr the children's gambling trap
those crane machines are rigged. they are so flimsy they can barely grab anything and if by chance it happens to grab something theres a chance it will just open up before it gets to the drop point
what sonic plush was it
The Luigi casino mini game forced me into this life James, I can’t stop

6:17 Absolutely, that is the only thing that is happening.
When you think about it, a game that has three tokens per jackpot and five jackpots would guarantee a 1/5 per jackpot. But NO. Whether it is a real or fake slot, it will ALWAYS swap it out. You truly have about a 0.2% chance or less of EVER getting that grand.
Why don’t they play these Match 3 games physically? Think about it! They either A: lie, B: put a single card in a stack of hundreds in order to make it impossible to select most rounds, or C: Go bankrupt as soon as many people win. It’s so they don’t go bankrupt…
sure, it’s a pretty horrible strategy, but it works… most people will be gullible enough to believe it’s just their luck. And as someone who both wins most of their 5*s in Genshin and also pulls most of them early, trust me when I say… it’s not your luck, it’s the game.
This video is so great because your experience is identical to most addicts that get hooked. I worked in a casino bar for five years, and every single one of them had DOZENS of stories just like the anecdotes in the video. They take it further though. These stories will create superstitions that completely defy rational thought as well. Had these regulars we called "the screen lickers" because one time the husband's finger was wet from the condensation of his beer bottle, and he rolled a jackpot. So then he started getting cups of water and dipping his finger in to wet the screen. And then he got too lazy for that and started licking his finger instead. And then his wife started to do the same thing. It's wild.
I once tried to explain the scam of jackpots to a regular out of curiosity to see if she would understand. In my state, jackpot winners of over $1200 owe 30% of the winnings back to the state for taxes. Since regulars/addicts are statistically the most likely jackpot winners and will just put all the money back...jackpots are literally a tax on being addicted. And they just don't get it. They whooped and hollered regardless and tipped me, the bartender, hundreds of dollars for their win...on a slot machine. Because it's supposedly good luck.
Gambling addicts aren't just people who don't understand the stacked math of gambling, they're actually so superstitious that logic loses meaning to them entirely.

This is the first time I’ve watched an odd1sout video in a long time, and let me say… the animation has improved so much! It’s so smooth, and now animated completely, whereas before it was only just a few frames. It looks so good 🤩
Ya, that’ll happen when you hire a huge team of animators to do all the work for you
@@How_Many_Monkeys acting like he didn’t do it himself to build the yt in the first place 😂

Ah yes, Arin’s legendary big win. What a moment to be alive.
That's a video I always go back to because I was 100% on board with Dan scolding him for just betting all the money again and again (stopping only by being distracted by fart noises) Then when all hope seems lost, all that built up is paid off. Amazing second hand gambler's rush!

FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
The Gospel:
(I am not a bot, I'm just someone who enjoys spreading the gospel. Much love to you all!)
The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over His enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.
Peter says in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.”
So Christ died not only to forgive sin, but also that it might die in the lives of His people.
~Quoting John Piper~
ALSO
My friend put together a great PowerPoint about the Gospel and Jesus being the prophesied Messiah. I'd like to share if you're interested, just reply and I can send you the link. May Jesus Bless you!

Before my parents were married, they took a trip to Vegas with a group of friends. When they went to the first casino, my mom bet just a quarter. She won fifty cents, put the quarters in her pocket, and then said "okay, I'm done". Iconic family story.
lol
...amazing
Imagine how much more iconic of a story it would’ve been if she bet that 50 cent and won one whole dolla
Woww!!! U prolly got conceived in the celebration process too!! Iconic indeed
@@Christiansaredumb unless my mom was pregnant with my for seven years... not true
roulette is also the safest option(if you dont put "a million on red") because the chance that you win is almost identical as the chance you lose
The golden apple thing is not a coincidence. That's how con artists work. They give you small successes at the beginning: "Oh look, that worked, look, it worked again, there's NO way it'll fail now--" and then they run off with your biggest bet yet.
Sounds like life right?
Isnt it illegal to rig
@@petar8459 that for that one,no despite it all there no proof (it’s annoying)
@@petar8459 how do you prove it though? That's the problem...
Here's the thing about that, it is required by law, that professional slot machines don't rig outcomes, so the owners that do that are actual criminals.
"Opening up a booster pack and not getting any expensive cards....is like loosing your entire life savings"
This quote embodies TCGs so well. And totally gives me Celebrations PTSD.

Wow I haven’t watched James in two years his animation has really improved. Great job and continue to be awesome James!
It's done by a team now not just James specifically
@@H3llr4z0r I mean yea but it was improved over the years like the flow
@@Eddielyric idk i dont really like it, kinda seems a bit commercial now not like the simple shit he used to make. I think its going to turn into what Gametheorys turning into. where slowly not only is james not doing the animation but the voiceovers too. im not even sure he chose the topic of gambling by his description hes hiring story board people as well. imo this channel is eventually going to become a mimic of what james content was, and cease to have that casual style the old videos had.
@@edwardsheeran9220 As MatPat said, Game Theory has always been a collaborative channel, James's channel has always been his own, so I doubt he would stop doing the voicing since it was only ever him doing it.
@@jaydenvo1114 i don't think game theory's channel has always been a collaborative channel, sure nowadays fine, but most of his videos were by himself or with one of his content creator buddies. Which James also does lol
As someone who’s planning a birthday in Las Vegas, the rush is truly something else. Casinos are definitely built to make you feel like you have a chance rather than having you deal with the reality your more likely to lose more rather than win (hence, the budget). Still mad fun!
ok
I'm insanely lucky whenever I go to the casino and play blackjack. I don't count cards or anything. I'm just lucky, idk what else to say.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ok
Nothing made me happier than seeing Arin’s Fortress of Solitude on 23. Thank you James for bringing it to animation… again.Thanks for the two hundred dollary
2:30 just bet on 23 relentlessly is called the "Hanson strategy".
James: “You all should gamble so you learn first hand how stupid gambling is!”

As someone who went to Vegas this past summer, I can confirm that the SECOND you step off the jetbridge at Harry Reid, you see slot machines. And you will likely see one every 2 feet for the duration of your stay.
And maybe take a trip to Jon Basso’s heart attack grill.
Mt I ve been there so relatable 😂😂😊

Ok but the animation tho, you can see the improvement, ive had to double take and rewind countless times because the work is so *outstanding* props to everyone who worked on this y'all out did yourselves, my goodness, yalls work does not go unnoticed🤩🤩

I know it sounds crazy at first, but if the stats screen is telling the truth, then listening to it does give more of a chance to win. No roulette wheel can me manufactured perfectly, so even brand new ones will have a very slight bias towards a certain number. Now, a roulette wheel that's been used will have more marks, and the most marks will be around the numbers that came out the most. All of these impacts the ball, and mainly slows them down, so those numbers will come out even more. Therefore those stats might be worth considering.
Leaps and bounds improvement in your animation AND a Netflix series! Congrats on your dreams coming true. You and your team’s hard work is inspiring me to continue animating.

James be like: "If I had a nickel for every time someone turned two golden apples and three bronze apples in the casino, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice."
Hehe, that's pretty much what happens, except that it's a dollar instead of a nickel and the casino is the one that gets it.

Here in Australia we have a really bad gambling problem (you have ads telling you that if you gamble you contribute to donating for charity) so it’s actually quite funny to see your first experience was in Australia.

Anime references this time: Kakegurui (main schoolgirl outfit from the gambling anime) and I think that was Kishibe sitting down gambling. (Denji’s sensei from chainsaw man) When he introduced himself to Denji and Power, he said he loved gambling and women.
I think don’t quote me lol

I had a very negative view on gambling a few weeks ago, until I went to my very first casino with a lady friend. I discovered all these points on my own, and I'm glad that you shared them like this to the world!
Just go once a year, you don't want to get addicted
@@SMCwasTaken that is the dumbest most dangerous advice. Humans are human. They will definitely end up making a "fun" habit more frequent over time with each session that they play until they become regular and bam before you know it you're hooked. Out of every fun hobby in the entire world you are seriously telling someone to do this? This isn't even ethical and you are supporting the casinos by giving them money which is exactly what gambling is, giving disgusting greedy people more money to continue screwing over families and people who have a house to return to. Maybe a father, maybe a mother, maybe a son.
