Well, I keep having people ask me where I think they can get the longest playtime for their $.
This is a conundrum for me, because I tend to shy away from really huge bonuses since the playthrough usually is unacceptable from my point of view.
These players are interested in the entertainment value, and don't anticipate winning much. They are mostly female, so I assume they may be housewives who don't want to spend or lose much money, but they like to play and have time to spend.
At this time I try to recommend low variance slots (oh yeah, these are slot players BTW) and I try to find the highest bonuses with the least playthrough.
But I wonder if I am doing the right thing with that. And I have trouble relating because one of my worst playing experiences ever was when I played on a big bonus and I was winning like crazy, the playthrough was forever and I would have been able to only withdraw a small amount. After hours of playing I just purposefully ran several thousand dollars into the ground as fast as possible because I was sick of it all. I should have just left, lol, but I actually stated getting angry and went on make it or break it mode playing the highest possible bet on the hightest variance machine. I really hated that experience.
But, not everyone feels that way and there is no right or wrong there, it's personal preference. Probably, one of these players in my place would have been happy to leave and do it all over again the next day, getting tons of bang for their buck. And possibly cashing out a little more than they deposited.
What would you recommend for players who want the longest possible playtime in slots as their main objective? A certain way of playing? Certain bonuses? Certain slots?
