Extreme Temperatures and Risk Appetite
Some academic work suggests a link between ambient temperature and risk tolerance. Extreme heat can sometimes result in more impulsive choices. During a Canadian summer heatwave, with the air conditioning running, this might mean faster spin speeds and slightly higher bet sizes on Immortal Romance. Players pursue the thrill of a big, cooling win. Their play becomes more attuned to the game’s sights and sounds, the haunting soundtrack and transforming symbols, and less about the calculated mechanics of its 96.86% RTP.
