Maybe it's just variance and my brain doing that thing again but slots rn feel way more brutal than even a couple years back. Not saying tinfoil hat rigged exactly... just that so many of the newer ones seem built to keep you hanging around forever with fake almost-bonuses, dead spins, 20x tease features and then when it finally pops it gives basically nothing. High volatility used to feel exciting, now it just feels like paying to be annoyed lol.
And yeah I know RTP is over millions of spins, not my session, heard that a million times. Still doesn't change that some games feel weirdly stingy compared to older stuff. Even bonus terms got more annoying with certain slots excluded or reduced contribution, which kind of tells you casinos know where people gravitate. Maybe I'm just choosing bad providers lately but the whole vibe of online slots has changed a bit... anyone else getting that or nah
