That's pure luck indeed and we can only figure out that we are, when the slots are with us and we're winning.
Yes, it's just luck, nothing more, things are always very likely to be what they are, for me both games like crash and slots work under the same criteria of luck, except that in crash you choose the multiplier you want to win, while in slots the multiplier when you win is random and can be very juicy if you have the necessary luck.
Both are good, exciting, but I stay with the slots, for a matter of taste, and although I see that it is more likely to win in crash, because the slots offer us coins that crash does not.
