Are online slots really random?

So I've been playing online slots on a multitude of online casinos for quite some time now. And it is just very hard for me to buy the narrative that it is completely random for instance, and this is just one example out of many. So normally I play as an average player you know I'll deposit $100 200 bucks at a time and I'll go to my favorite slots and do 50 cents a dollar a pull. More recently I came into a sum of money that has allowed me to increase my deposits to $500-$1000 a time so naturally I increase my bets accordingly and the change has just been astronomical and I'm not talking about one bad session I'm talking about just night and day so I go to one of my favorite slots neon wheel 7 and when I'm betting 50 cents to a dollar a pull the bonus wheel feature activates pretty common in my opinion and again this is a slot that I play almost daily yet just for fun I increase my bet to $2.50 $5 a pull and I kid you not I will burn through 500 plus dollars without ever hitting the feature. And this is not an isolated incident we are talking multiple sessions of this occurring yet drop the bet and the feature starts to come again so I'm just wondering does anybody out there have the same experience with their favorite slots?

Hey!

From what I have seen, this particular game offers a direct gaming history to be viewed. Maybe it would be worth a while to paste here your concrete history.

Another thing is that you need to be aware of its RTP and actual volatility - this is what forms the outcome probability.

As far as I can tell, the provider announces an RTP of 96,26% which is quite decent.

Frankly, finding out the volatility level is much harder, yet sadly, volatility affects whether you get higher winnings once per ages, or much lower winnings more often.

"there are high volatility and low volatility games, when you play low volatility games, you win quite often, but the winnings are often lower than your bets. When you play high volatility games (for example jackpot games are often high volatility games), you can have a dead spin after a dead spin, maybe 50 in a row, but then you enter a special bonus feature and win a big part of you losses back. Anyway, if you stop playing earlier, you feel like the slot didn't pay you anything"

So, without knowing more about the game's setup, it's all about guessing. Kindly mind that bought features (despite the common name "free spins feature") temporarily adjust the settings, but that does not mean you will win more than you spent on those features.

Last important fact: Since slots are the most favorable games for casinos due to the highest house edge/cut possible, no one needs to fake the games. The longer you play, the more you lose.
