My experience if you have a lot of rounds you will get more likely to get a victory, than you play in a hurry and manipulate the number of bets on the round, your balance will be drained faster and the possibility of getting a very small victory. IMO
Patience can never guarantee and provide opportunities for victory but being patient can make us minimize the number of defeats because we can control ourselves and not be provoked by emotions.
What you said is true when it comes, to slot games because from personal experience and some of my fellow gamblers they can have a big multiplier opportunity when they have gone through enough game sessions but don't ever think this can trigger a win you can have because basically almost all gambling games can won when have luck.
More if you find a round time of more than 20 minutes you may find a pretty decent victory.
Actually the points that I convey in this patience are a little different in context, but that can be applied in this case.
I agree that patience will minimize defeat, with the sense that when we lose after the first deposit loss, we must be shabar and do not make a deposit again, maybe tomorrow will be better and calmer in gambling.
