Slot players will get this, sometimes that big bomb symbol drops, and you’re already thinking “this is it,” but nope… no tumble, nothing connects. Then you sit there thinking, “Damn, that was close,” and next thing you know, you’re still spinning, chasing that moment again.

So what do you think, just coincidence, or a little design magic to keep us hooked? I know they’ll say it’s all fair and random, but you can’t tell me the devs didn’t factor this in when making the game. After all, nothing keeps a gambler glued to the screen like almost winning.

Casinos don't have to engage much of their time on this, because they already know that in gambling, to win is more rare compared to losing which everyone can easily see as they gamble, irrespective of the game they are playing, what keeps gamblers in playing bets continuously is because of the way they have seen it being as a means of having fun, which goes along with them no matter the condition of losing or wining.
