Yes, it depends on us. Some believe it and choose to seek a high RTP, while others choose to prioritize it and play any game they want. In my experience, a high RTP doesn't guarantee a win, and the same goes for a low RTP.
I've had maximum wins in games with low RTPs, and I know it was pure luck. So, whether you believe it or not isn't the issue. There's something more important than that, in my opinion: setting limits so we can maintain good self-control while gambling.
It’s still better to check the RTP and decide for yourself before playing. It’s not just about loving the game regardless of RTP.. And come on, as gamblers, we only start liking a game when we actually experience winning. And with a higher RTP, your chances of winning slightly improve compared to games with lower RTP. That’s just the logic behind it.
As I said before, it depends on our habits. If we believe in a high RTP to increase our chances of winning, then just do it; it's nothing to be concerned about. And if not, then do it too, because there's nothing wrong with it.
You're right, we're more interested in a game after we win. But sometimes it's just because of our first impressions, as happened to me. I wasn't interested in PG Soft games before, but after trying them for the first time, I was immediately hooked. I didn't win at the time, but I immediately liked them, even after just a few games.
