Budgeting for a High-Volatility Slot
Hot Hot Fruit pays less often but can pay bigger, so losing streaks are normal. A conservative approach is to budget for at least 100 to 200 spins at your chosen stake before expecting a significant result, and to treat any losses as the cost of entertainment, not an investment. If a session stops being fun, stop. Support is available from the National Responsible Gambling Programme on 0800 006 008.
