Have you ever had a time in the casino where you started strong on slots, maybe even felt like you were on a roll for a while, then suddenly hit a losing streak that wiped out everything? I’ve noticed that no matter how good the start is, I almost always end up losing it all in the end.

That kind of pattern makes me wonder, are these games secretly rigged, or is this just how slots work because of the RTP (return to player), which is usually around 97% or even lower?

When you’re stuck in a losing streak, it really makes you doubt if it’s only bad luck, or if the system is built so you can never walk away ahead.
What do you guys think? Is it pure probability catching up with you, or do casinos tweak the games to make sure you lose eventually?
I honestly have thought about this a couple of times in the past, it's majorly one of the reasons I stopped or rather, reduced significantly how frequently I play slot games, my thought actually is that maybe slot games are not actually rigged to favor the casino, but the game providers and casinos working hand in hand set the chances of winning so low that it's almost impossible to play the game and end up winning and profiting in the long run.

Slot games are interesting to play, but with the way almost every player end up with the very same experience, I do not doubt or blame any one for accusing the casino and game providers of rigging the game, i am just imagining a scenario where the 97% RTP is actually the casinos chances of winning while the remaining 3% is the gamblers chances of winning, with such a stats, it pretty impossible for any gambler to end up winning and remaining in profit from slot game, it will someone with a great amount of luck to make anything off the game.
