Yes it happens here and there, but I would say more often does it die than keep on hitting. I know machines are random, but more often than not, in my experiences and what I’ve seen, machines don’t usually pay out nice again for a bit. If you were to bet 1, the jackpot might increase by 0.25 to 0.50. Your money, as well as other players’ bets, will go towards the jackpot and hike up the overall winnings. I see countless people do that and I never understand why. The progressive slot machine takes a portion of your wager and places it in a bank that adds to a maximum jackpot. I just don’t want to feel stupid for winning say $500+ and putting it all back on the same game. Neither scenario seems to happen more often than the other for me.Ģ.) I very rarely will play a machine for long periods of time after hitting a nice bonus/hit. Other times the investment works out and I’ll either get my money back or end up hitting a nice win/JP. Sometimes it kills me and I’ll dump $300-$500+ in a machine betting say $2-$3/spin without hitting a bonus or big win. I’ll go first with my answers to the above:ġ.) I know it’s a gambler’s fallacy to believe that a machine is “due,” but I’m one of those people that are stubborn when a machine isn’t paying out.

Two main questions as to how you all go about playing:ġ.) Do you tend to chase losses if you haven’t hit a bonus or big win believing it’s due to pay? Or do you cut your losses and move on after losing say $100 or $200 without anything?Ģ.) If you are lucky enough to hit a nice win/bonus that either breaks you even on that machine after a big investment, or puts you comfortably ahead on that game, do you continue to play thinking it’s hot? Or do you switch to another machine after that hit?
