Was wondering which of the two is the better port? Would love to play these games again

Hi, I play online slots.

I started out casually. Just puttin in small amount. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Didn't matter.

Gambling barely crossed my mind, because I really didn't like the idea of online slots. Always felt like you can get cheated on because you are dealing with a computer.

The last time I gambled was around Dec of last year, during the holidays.

Then I started playing again last May. It was a family gathering where I was having a conversation with my cousin, he then suddenly played on this online slot site that I used to play, told me to check as I might have rebates or rewards. Sure enough what could go wrong.

I had like an $11 reward+rebates. Played online slots. Won like $600.

Then I played again the following day, lost all that. Fair enough.

Came back to check the following day, this time I had rebate+rewards amounting to $20. Played it again, managed to get it to $750

4 days ago, I played again. Lost that $750, plus an additional $400 out of my own pocket. I was like a fucking mad man, possessed that I WILL WIN IT BACK.

I can get over the money, but I can't get over the fact that I lost. I know it's a small amount to a lot of you.

But the effects on me is not at the financial level, but more on mental. It felt like my pride, my ego can't just let it slide. It's really hard to just 'take the L'.

I haven't been playing since that loss, but I can't sleep, I've been sleeping for only like 3 hours (maybe 2) a day because I keep thinking about it. My work is starting to get affected as well and I'm making mistakes I normally don't make probably because of the lack of sleep. I feel sad not about the money, but about the fact that I lost.

It's eating me up inside so much that I feel like I'm becoming a person who is angry all the time. I have this voice in my head that says 'how about you try to win it back', I know I can't win it back, it's online slots. Which is why I'm actively avoiding it as I write this down.

The loss hurts so damn much that I feel like I need an outlet, I feel like I need a W somewhere. It's not about the money, but more like it's about wanting to 'win'.

I feel so fucking miserable and dumb losing to online slots.

So yeah just a brief background what pushed me to just quit

Yesterday I've logged in to this online slots site that I always play on, I have roughly a $14~ rebate, managed to get it to like $120+ cashed out. Then later that day I've played it all again in slots and it was just laughable how insanely skewed to the house the chances of winning are.

The thing is as I was playing, something just hit me, I finally wasn't getting any angry or raging as I was losing, I was just fucking laughing at how stupid online slots is. Every click of the spin I was laughing my ass off at just 'why the hell am I even doing this? im not going to win anyway, it's a waste of time'

It's unbeatable, you don't get a 50-50 chance of winning, it was just designed to take your money away. A true David and Goliath story.

My lifetime losses in that site is small, just roughly $500, but still a loss nonetheless.

I know I'm never coming back just because it's a joke. No hard feelings, no coping, just...yeah whatever take that damn money.

To anyone who wants to quit, never feel sorry for yourself, it will just make you overly eager to win those losses back.

You know what is working for me? Laugh at the 'game', laugh at your delusions that you will win and buy that stuff you've been dreaming of, laugh at the time you've wasted, laugh at the times that a stupid ass 'game' was designed to make you lose but still kept on playing, laugh for raging, laugh for being sad over losing. LAUGH AT YOURSELF AT HOW STUPID YOU ARE FOR WASTING EVERYTHING YOU'VE WORKED FOR, YOUR PARENTS WORKED FOR, YOUR PARTNER IS WORKING FOR.

Hi, so I started out gambling, specifically online slots just for fun, just once a month. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose

Then I had this string of losses from January up to May of this year. That once a month loss was eating me up. I'm not comfortable mentioning the loss, but it's just a small amount of money.

I want to stop, I want to accept that I've lost...but I can't. It feels like I have a monkey on my back saying that I need to win. I want to feel that I've won. I think I'm not even seeing the losses as money anymore, I'm starting to view the losses as 'points', like a videogame.

I try to stay away from it, I really do, I'm into golf and running, but after all's been said and done when I get home, I have that part inside of me that I lost. That once a month playing turned into an every day affair this June. I do sometimes win, but whenever I see that overall profit record and I realize that I'm still in the red, it just eats me up inside.

And a bit of a background about me, I'm really a competitive person and at one point in my life I was actually a 'professional gamer', earned a good chunk, now working as an Analyst for a financial institution, I'm a bit decent with numbers.

It's hard to just 'Take the L' for me, it always feels like I need to get my win back. I need to run it back. Maybe I'm a sore loser, but I am someone trained only to accept losses when my competition is better or smarter.

The hard part is when I about it, I have decent money, I have decent life, but why can't I just let it go.

Short background about me. I'm in my 30s, single, got a decent paying job. I was at one point in my life a 'professional gamer', so I am sure as hell a very competitive person. I accept losses when it makes sense, when I know the other person is smarter or better than me.

I gamble regularly, usually around $50 to $100 a month. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. It's fine. I view it as a recreation, something to take my mind off things when it gets stressful

I've been on a losing streak since Feb. Losing $100 a month. Today I lost $200, just realized I had extra money on my ewallet so what the hell. I initially was able to 'win back' the $100, but ultimately lost the whole $200. Now I generally know when to stop, I'm not running back to these online slots just to lose.

What's worse is not the $200. It's smashing my $800 OLED Monitor. Now I just got back home to get a new one. I'm so fucking pissed off. I hate losing because losing to slots doesn't make sense, it has no patterns, it has no tendencies, it's designed to fucking make you lose.

Jesus christ honestly if I get to know someone who developed these, I'll fucking slap the shit out of them.

End of rant.

The title. I'm a support main and I've been playing a lot of DPS lately because of those situations. I'm not even complaining of not getting help, it happens. What I'm complaining about is when my team never jumps on their supports and always tries to chase the opposing DPS instead. I mean if you want to last longer on the map, there should be an effort to go after the enemy's supports
