For example, I heard from streamers that if a slot does not give a win within 15-20 spins, then you need to exit and not waste time on it, also that if a slot does not give bonus hits within 100 hits, then you need to exit it. For example, it happened that I spun 600 spins in a slot and the bonus hits still did not appear.And if the slot gave 2-3 bonus hits for 100 spins and they are not empty, then you need to continue playing in this slot) What do you think?

Would assume all slot machines are memory-less and also identical if you're in a casino, so it doesn't make any difference. It's entirely psychological.

I’ve also heard a lot of those “rules” from streamers, but honestly slots are pure RNG – there’s no fixed pattern that guarantees a bonus or a win after a certain number of spins. Of course, if a slot feels completely cold after 100–200 spins, it might make sense to leave it just to save your balance and not get stuck chasing a bonus. On the other hand, if a slot is hitting bonuses quite often and they’re not dead spins, then yeah, it can be fun to stick around for a bit. At the end of the day though, it’s all luck – there’s no strategy that can change the math behind the game.

Slots are totally random, set yourself a limit that you are willing to lose, and then stick to it. Streamers say a lot of things that have no impact on a what a slot machine does.

When you are tired of playing or no longer feel like you have an edge.

In Slots its very difficult to have an edge- some wild promo, or you found a progressive with a huge jackpot relative to historical jackpots.

The house almost always has an edge, so the longer you play the more likely it is that you will be a loser.

I don't think you'll guess.
But I must note that if you play disciplined and stick to bankroll management, then no matter which slot you choose, you won't be risking anything particularly significant. I don't think playing for hours on the same slot is a very good idea, unless it regularly gives you a profit.

Nick, so cynical for one so normally positive as your oneself. Let me guess, you met a streamer online, hooked up & you just found out from the Doctor how much the shots are going to cost, tsk, tsk, tsk. ;)

You should continue you when you feel good and you are winning and you should quit when everything goes the other way around. Quite simple in my opinion.

I agree that if you haven't won anything in the first 15-20 spins, you should move on to the next slot. As for whether to stay with the same slot after a big win, I disagree. If you got a huge hit, you should also move on to the next slot.

In the casino, slot machines are linked in series and the winnings are paid out based on the money collected at a given moment! The casino never loses! Only luck can pay you... otherwise, the joy of playing is more important than the winnings themselves!

I thought you knew me better than that, sheep can't stream. ;)

But I do know someone that had a successful slot stream, they do get sponsored, so you have to to take what they say with a grain of salt.

.And if the slot gave 2-3 bonus hits for 100 spins and they are not empty, then you need to continue playing in this slot) What do you think?

I don't really understand what "They are not empty" means.
But in my opinion, a machine does not pay off depending on the number of spins, but on how much money has been put in it.
60 $25 spins can get you a lot closer to hit than 600 5 cents spins for example.

Not all. Years ago me and a few friends played in casinos in my country on many different kinds of slots which each had some type of specific flaw you could abuse, each was different. But in general you are correct.

I think it's difficult to name any specific factors. I play the slots that I like to play, in other words, my favorites. And if I plan to spend $20, then regardless of how events unfold, I will not exceed this limit. It is not possible to play all the slots I would like to play in turn, as $20 is not enough for that.

I think you should figure out how much time & money you want to spend on it and stick to that... the rest is just luck!

I have never paid attention to such omens or signs. I am a fatalist of sorts, and I know that gambling can bring profit or eat up my money. Most often, it eats up my money, but at least I have a good time and enjoy myself. When I go to gamble, I gamble, and in my opinion, the most important thing is to gamble in a disciplined manner and not spend too much.
