Since each win is random, it’s important for slot players to know their limits and stay responsible. Set a budget in advance before playing and stick to it. Play with money you can afford to lose, and never use rent or grocery money for gambling. Also, be sure to take a break from the game when you’re losing more than you can afford. This will help you avoid the temptation to chase losses.
