just need to vent and maybe feel less alone in this as ive been having brutal runs lately on slots. the worst is when you're just spinning and spinning waiting for that bonus round and it never comes. like watching paint dry except the paint is eating your money
so honest question whats your longest ever streak of spins getting absolutely NO bonus round or free spins?

like mine is 778 spins on pay dirt at cherry red. SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT. took over an hour, made multiple deposits just chasing it. never even got the feature that session, had to come back next day and hit it at spin 50 😭
please tell me im not the only one tracking this stuff

i actually track patterns on this stuff and i reckon the longer it goes without feature the more likely its about to hit. has to meet its average innit
got to 650 spins on big shot once but i kept going cause i knew it was due and sure enough hit massive on spin 712

oh patterns man here!! and what if that would be 10k spins before that - you'd be broke before that happened 😂 😂

100% that's gambler's fallacy friend. Each spin is independnt with the same probability regardless of previous results. If a slot has 1 in 150 chance of triggering the feature, spin 800 has the exact same 1 in 150 odds as spin 1.

Going 778 spins without a feature on Pay Dirt suggests either very bad variance or the game has lower feature frequency than you'd expect. But continuing to play because it's "due" is mathematically incorrect reasoning for shure.
 
oh god this is making me feel better lol mine is 340 spins with no bons on starburst. i thought that was bad but you guys are dealing with proper horror shows
my bf went over 500 once on rtg game and just kept saying "it has to hit soon" while i watched his balance disappear. what a surprise it didn't hit soon
 
had 1600+ spins on mahjong ways last month mate absolute joke. look like pgsoft turned into worst provider imo been playing 5 years and last 9 months cant win anything at all. starting to think somethings changed with their rtp settings or something
 
For those tracking these streaks - remember that high variance slots will naturally have longer droughts between features. That's literally what high variance means. Pay Dirt and Big Shot are both medium-high variance RTG games. Going 500+ spins without a feature isn't pleasant but it's within normal statistical distribution for these games.
The real question is whether to continue playing after 300+ dead spins. In my experience, switching slots or taking a break preserves both bankroll and sanity.
 
don't usually track exact numbers but had a proper dead sesion on great blue once. had to be 500+ spins easy. balance just disappeared and no bonus complete nothin now if that happens i just fuck off to another game or log out. chasing it never works out
 
yall playing trash providers that's why lmao
just stick to crypto slots they hit way more often. most i''ve gone is like 200 spins maybe? and that's rare af
 
fuck this hits home. don't even know my exact worst but definitely over 1000 on some rtg game. probably caesars empire or something. kept thinking it HAD to hit, kept depositing, balance just evaporated
finally hit the feature and got like 18 cents. EIGHTEEN CENTS for 10 free spins!!! actually wanted to put my fist through the monitor 😤😤
 
anyway bill_collins is correct about the fallacy. past results don't influence future probability.
however from a practical bankroll management perspective, going 300+ spins without a feature on a game that should hit every 150-200 spins on average suggests you're in a negative variance streak. Whether that's "bad luck" or just normal distribution doesn't matter - your money is disappearing.
Smart play is switching games or walking away. Chasing features based on "it's due" logic is how people go broke

honestly not sure about that mate. if game rtp is true then you must eventually get it still not necessarily right away ok?

yeah i know the theory but in practice ive seen it work out. if a slots supposed to hit every 150 spins on average and youre at 600 spins then statistically its below average and has to catch up at some point right?
not saying next spin is guaranteed but over time it evens out (just with house cut of course)
 
It doesn't "have to catch up" in any predictable timeframe. You could go another 600 spins without a hit. Over millions of spins the average works out, but that doesn't help your individual session.

The slot doesn't know it's "below average" and doesn't adjust to compensate. Each spin runs through the RNG with the same programmed probability.

I understand it feels like it should balance out soon, but that feeling is exactly what the gambler's fallacy exploits.
 
do you reckon there's any difference between casinos for same slot? like could cherry red have tighter settings on pay dirt than another casino running same game?
 
Some providers offer configurable RTP settings (typically 94%, 96%, 98% versions of the same game). The casino chooses which version to offer.
For RTG specifically, most games have a standard RTP but casinos can adjust certain parameters. This is why checking the paytable and rules is important - legitimate casinos should display the RTP clearly.
If you're getting drastically worse results than the stated RTP suggests over thousands of spins, could be bad variance or could be lower RTP settings. Hard to prove without access to backend data.
 
honestly think best strategy is if you're 200-300 spins deep with no feature just move on. i've wasted too much money chasing features that either never came or paid nothing when they did. not worth it fr
 
All my worst runs have been on RTG. Used to love Diamond Cats and Hot Fruits but they've felt dead for over a year now.

Had a 900+ spin drought on Hot Fruits 40 where the balance just bled out with barely any line wins either. That's when it really hurts - no features AND no small wins to keep you going.
