Re: Why does it feel easier to hit x10 in slots than in sports betting?

So my question is:

(1) Is there a logical reason behind why slots make x10 feel easier to achieve?

(2) Or maybe it’s just a psychological trick because slots are designed to keep giving “small wins” to make us feel engaged?

Curious what others think, especially from people who play both slots and sports betting.

x10 in slots does not seem easier, but really easier in the sense that it happens more often than the same winnings in betting. Why is this not encouraging? Because slots usually have very small bets per spin, unlike sports betting (on average). Therefore, the sensations are completely different. x10 is not even perceived as a win in slots. Single bets with odds of 10 are quite rare in betting, which means that you need to make several bets and this immediately increases the risk of losing significantly. Maybe I didn't put it quite right, but I hope it's clear what I meant.
