.../Q/..;
...: the variance has worked in my favour. I didn't expect such a high prize in relation to the bet so soon. It's a 600x.
This was year of my spins personal record surpassed, I had not done as many spins as in any other year, although the intensity decreased a bit in the second half of the year.
I received by way of free spins, purchase bonuses or featured, with ROI +1, all it worked out well for me, at least during the first quarter and part of the second of this year, so i thought; the party can continue.
...and then, came the variance that should not be confused with the RTP, in fact I would say that it was above my return in comparison with any RTP, well, I started at $0.01, I went through $0.05 and I was consolidating at $0.1 and boom! as I just call him; the "dictator," variance imposed his law at the expense of RTP, so, doing quick year-end mental math for slots I should be, like, -$5-$10 (+/-) under every $100 wagered, anyway, if you add wager, royalties, rakeback (things I always mention) the numbers improve a little or bring us closer to breakeven..

In any case, as you mention, if you bet more, the losses are greater, but if you have bankroll for you bet $1 or $10, it is also an error to have the wrong bets if you have the bankroll to bet, I mean, if you have $10,000 in a Casino (e.g.), it is a waste of "time" if you are making bets of $0.01.
In that sense, if I remember correctly this year my highest multiplier was a 2000x with bets of $0.01, happy, because it is definitely a mental error to think; "...and if I had had a $0.5" which in my case are the most frequent "escapes" that I do, leaving my comfort zone, but that I do occasionally, although I have also gone (crazy escapes) for the bets of $1.
In the end. Anyway. By the way: Happy "Spins" and prosperous "multipliers" for this 2023; to all those who reach this post.
