That's too bad, as that information could've given us a hint as to why you're (my guess
) not gonna see that hit any time soon.
I really believe that a LOT (Can't stress that enough....a LOT) of the RTP comes from (very) small wins...as in <1-10 X stake, as your stats also kinda show (No real drop or raise in balance), eventhough it's still a very small sample. You don't have many spins on that one, that pays 0 in my, admiddelty limited, experience.
Balthazar .. .I realise what you're saying re SWR, but if you get 92% back in a huge amount of <1-10X stake wins, and then the occasional 100-250 X stake win, which it seems like is the case with the stars, and other low variance slots (Chopley's balance not really dropping nor raising, except for the exceptional and rare sessions), the big hit won't show any more often than the big hit on SWR .. .you just get a LOT more 0 spins on SWR (Deck the Halls even better example = even higher variance), which I've experienced more often than I care to remember
, hence less playtime (Low variance has but one purpose...to give the player the feeling, they're getting something for the money they put in....playtime).
That's where the "X stake difference" lies on the 2 big hits, is my best guess....and that's why I prefer high variance slots. If and when I hit the big one, I want it to be
big, so I care less about playtime.
My wife just wants to sit there and grind away for hours, and we have had quite a few discussions about it, when I bust out in 20 minutes, and she's playing for 5 hours, on the same amount deposited....BUT the end result is usually the same, except I haven't wasted 5 hours of my life, and when I hit the BIG one, and cash out.....That's where you can see the
real difference.
Ofcourse I'm only guessing here, and going on gut feeling, just like everyone else, but I like your spirit Chopley ... go get us some stats
I actually thought about spinning away on SWR in fun mode, to have a bit to compare with....but in the unlikey event that I hit a screen full of wilds, in fun mode, I would have to kill myself....seriously
It's impossible to say 'cause it's split over loads of sessions, every time I start a new session I get a new play balance of €5000.
I suppose I could have recorded the end balance of each session (probably should have done actually, come to think about it), but I didn't so it's too late for that
What I will say is I've been quite struck by how often I've gone thousands of spins and my balance is only slightly less than where it started, or even above.
Did have quite a bad one last night though, finishing balance was under €4550 after five thousand spins. (Which isn't too bad considering they're €1 spins. Something like Dead or Alive or Reel Steal would eat through massively more than that on a bad run.)
