Effect of Variance and RTP on User Persistence
Fire Joker’s high variance is the single biggest game-specific aspect influencing Canadian player stamina. This feature means wins are more uncommon but can be significantly bigger when they land. Our behavioral data shows a clear pattern. Players often hit a string of non-winning spins. This can cause a rapid end to the session if annoyance takes over. But players who endure these dry spells occasionally get a considerable win from the multiplier wheel. That win often finances a considerably longer second session. The result is a bimodal distribution in our data. We see one cluster of short sessions and a separate group of longer ones.
