(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?
We should think logically and set aside probability.

I admit it's easier to get a x10 multiplier in slot games. But should we just stop after getting a x10 multiplier? Of course not, because we've already experienced losses before getting that multiplier, and that x10 only fuels our curiosity to keep playing. Meanwhile, slot games can be played at any time without waiting for match schedules like sports betting.

In sports betting, on the other hand, we only bet $1 at 10 odds and don't always win. If we lose, bettors must wait for the next scheduled bet to bet another $1. This concept lowers the risk of losing their entire bankroll. Unlike slots, where a 10x win is guaranteed to quickly deplete your entire bankroll.
