Don’t Fall for LDWs

[miniming]

Don’t Fall for LDWs A loss disguised as a win (LDW) is an unofficial term used to describe payouts that are worth less than the spin cost. You’re still collecting a win, but you’re also losing money on the overall bet. Here’s an example of an LDW: You bet $0.50 on a 25-line slot./You win $0.05 on one payline./5 – 0.05 = $0.45 loss An LDW isn’t inherently evil by nature. It mainly indicates that you’ve earned a relatively small payout. However, pg it does highlight the problem that many slots players unknowingly face. They spin the reels at such a quick rate that they don’t even realize when their wins aren’t really wins. Developers design games to behave like this. They include triumphant sound effects to mark each win–no matter how big or small. When you combine exciting sounds with a quick play rate, you get the perfect environment for overextending your bankroll.
