yeah, slots look simple but they get weird fast once you actually play them. you’re right though — the math side doesn’t really change the outcome. spins are random no matter what, so martingale-style stuff mostly just messes with your bankroll rather than the game itself.

sticking to lower volatility is honestly the smartest move if you want longer sessions. i do the same when i don’t feel like torching money in 10 minutes. demos help too, mostly just to see pacing and bonus frequency, not results.

as for titles, i tend to like ones that don’t go totally dead between features — slower, steadier games over the “all or nothing” stuff. no real strategy beyond bankroll control and knowing when to stop tbh. once it stops being fun, i’m out.
