The MG software does not know whether you've been winning or losing, just churns out random numbers for you, and with slots, they're always likely to go against you. Also, if you increase your bets progressively when you win, that also increases your risk of losing it all back in a very short time.

Try jacks or better video poker or blackjack, less variance and therefore your bankroll will last longer.

Sometimes if I hit a good win in slots, I'll just lower my bet and maybe play some VP to cool down, then withdraw and just leave a little bit for low-rolling.
Otherwise you're pretty much guaranteed to lose it all back in the course of a really bad streak.

Cheers,

Couldn't have said it better myself

We've all been there Wayram. This is the thing about gambling...you have to know when to get out. This is why casinos make their profits - its not the "House Edge" that makes the decent money - hell that probably doesnt even cover the casino's costs - its the fact that gamblers have a tendency to gamble back down following a win streak.
