    dont get me wrong, i like the new slots, but those spins take ages! is there any chance we can get a stripped down version, like we had on the previous version of torn (on mobile version).

    it just took me 8 minutes to run through my 75 tokens.

    agree, disagree? and why?

    I agree, Ched said he wanted to make the process of using up casino tokens more difficult than easy, but this just takes the piss.

    I agree completely.

    Given that the outcome decision has been made from the second the bet is made, i dont understand why we have to wait for an animation to see it.

    Its just boring.

    its supposed to take some effort instead of just a bunch of fast clicks and get it done with every other game requires a little effort and time to win so why is it wrong you have to wait 4 seconds for a spin?

    It takes zero effort.
    Its a skill-free game, press and hope.
    Bulking it out is wholly unnecessary.

    Theres no merit reward for spins, so persevering through the tedium has no reward (unlike slots.. where you get a merit for your wasted time).

    The only skill is not getting a repetitive strain injury, all we're asking as that hardcore more be renabled so we can get 75 spins without having to take a sissy-break in between clicks.

    8 minutes isn't really a long time. I can't believe people are so uptight about something like this when there are lots of bigger problems out there.

    A real slot machine takes about the same time.

    people can always choose to not play it and play something faster.... wait nothing else is faster. guess with keno it should be instantaeous also

    agreed if he was gonna update the look and make it have more of a wait time it needed a full update to make it more like a real slots that people will go to....

    if you go to the casino the only people that would use that sort of "torn" slots are the (really really old ladys) if your not using a walker and like 90+ rarely will you see anyone else use a slots with 1 line and nothing fancy about it slots are somewhat fun betting multy lines and bonus levels where you get like 10 free spins or some sorta bonus round. there is nothing to keep you entertained well your playing theys slots witch would be fine if you cut out the animation junk and make it like insta spins so you can go through your tokens as quick as you refresh..... if your gonna make it spin as slow as a real slot machine you should at least make it as fun to watch with multy lines and possible bonus rounds of some sort ....


    in other words make it with all the bells and whistles of a modern machine or none don't make it so you need to watch the same boring thing happen to go through all your tokens.

    needs to be instant if its not interesting to watch (witch would be fine) otherwise go to a casino and look at a popular machine and do a real update don't copy the ones that no one is using cuz that is what it is now!

    Well, if you have fast connection, you can still refresh after spinning. It doesn't show result, but you can see the money change. But yea, something must be done, it is nice for the few spins, but it really gets annoying if you want to use all the tokens

    If you need a real life example Ched since that seems to be the "in thing" I've had first hand experience with Slot type games with an option to speed play (i.e. quickly lose all your money/tokens)

    It was a great de-motivator for customers who spent more time at my workplace than I did. I do less work, they lose what they would've anyway, BUT WAIT you actually won some of your life back!

    Alas in torn we must grind it out such is the irony.

    A real slot machine takes about the same time.
    A real slot machine is much more interesting... the 8 min isnt the real problem the problem is its a unfun slot machine most slot machines have bounus round and multy lines ones like this that are 1 line and this basic only 90+ year old ladys use.



    also ill point this out cuz i play slots irl sometimes cuz im around them a lot (not that i recommend this kinda gambling irl).... most if you hit the button again will stop spinning and get straight to the point and just show u what you got. it be fine if this was added as well.

    I would use all of my tokens on slots on the thin hope of winning the jackpot, not just for the money, but also for the merit. The spinning animation is painfully, falling asleep at the computer slow. Making the results instantaneous since the spinning does nothing but take away from the experience, and these are not the slots of the day anyhow. Just like there's a button to take away the sound effects, there should be a button to kill the animations.

    R+, as a non gambler, all the games seem boring to me. Just let me blow those tokens quickly in the vague hope of getting that jackpot merit.
