The role of persistence and regular play
Jackpots don’t just happen because you hope them to. I got used to the concept of short, consistent sessions. Sometimes I gamed for half an hour, sometimes a bit more, but I never broke my own money rules. There were periods of play, whole weeks, where my biggest win was just retrieving my original bet back. I didn’t let that frustrate me. I saw it as the necessary groundwork, the procedure of working through the game’s math. My patience was achievable only because of those management rules I’d made, which stopped me from seeking to buy a win during the quiet times.
