Today I am reading about skill based slot machines which is very popular among millennials. This is the first time I am reading this in my life as a gambler. All that I have known about slot machines is that the outcome is purely based on luck1 as a result of the Random number Generator (RGN). From what I read, the major difference between this skill based slot machines and the regular/traditional ones we know is that there is a bonus round for the players to2 display their skills which gives them a greater chance of winning. Despite this, the odds are still stacked up against the player.
Has anyone here tried it out?
Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?

I already know that there is a skill-based slot machine where the game depends on the skill of the player to time when to stop the spin to be able to win a higher prize.  I long search for this kind of game but failed to because it isn't available on the platform where I am playing.

I think providers is avoiding this kind of game because it will incur a heavy loss to the casino once the player gets comfortable with the game.  Just like how every casino ban card counting, this maybe the case for skill-based slots.
