Does attitude affect your slots play?

Actually I play RTG/Microgaming/Rival/3Dice, even Playtech on occasion. My biggest wins have been from Microgaming tho.

I actually tried that "betting high and not all the lines" thing - in MG I do ok, but in RTG....ugh. After I read it here, maybe something that you mentioned..? I jacked up my bet and dropped the lines, I was playing Fruit Frenzy and hit 5 of a kind. But it wasn't on one of the lines I bet!

So no bonus for me. Of course I then bet all the lines and kept my bet high and got nothing...nothing...nothing.

In RTG especially, my luck is such that if DON'T bet all the lines, the winning line will appear on one I DIDN'T bet. Or if I've been betting high and then I'm getting low on funds, I lower my bet, and WHAM - I get a feature or a decent win. Or alternatively, I'm doing ok and then raise my bet and everything dries up completely.

But I'll try your advice again - next time I'm $25 up! Which hasn't happened for awhile.....sigh

ahhh, dang it! You have to close your mind's eye to the lines you don't bet! Wow, know what would have happened if those 5oak were on a pay line? You would have gotten the free spins at all 25 lines!

I know the feeling of not hitting when betting higher and getting it when lower... I just choose to remember the good times, so i feel like a winner whether i am or not

It all works out the same in the end, but at least if you are controlling the variance, it feels like you're 'in control', and you stand a better chance of quitting as a winner. (if most deposits are lost anyway, why not increase the chance of a good win?)

Know what I'd suggest? Save up your next five or six deposits, get a fat sign-up bonus at MG and only play progressives that are chunkyripe

You might end up with years long gambling mad money... and if you don't it will be easier to quit after staying away so long anyway, mixed wit the disappointment.

I guess what I'm saying is mood can matter, and mastery is the best mood

Goodluck

Being tired, drunk, or negative affects how YOU play... not the slots. It affects your bet size and how long you will stay at a losing machine.

And there's sometimes when you just know you're going to hit something good..............
