I don't know what slots you play but the ones I've been at you can play the game at any speed you want. A single tap of the button places the bet and plays the animations, etc. A double tap does that and skips the animations, immediately showing your winnings. If that isn't enough there is usually an option to increase your bet by a multiplier or to make multiple plays on one "spin". The play speed is effectively up to that player.

I used to work with a guy who had a long stint at IGT. He said the most popular game he ever "made" was to take his previously most popular game and just have one set of controls play 4 of the same game all at the same time on one screen.

I don't play slots, but I did manage an online casino for 3 years. Auto-spins allow users to play without "interaction" but, at least for my players, the animations and chirps were all part of the "fun".

All go towards the same thing - dopamine addiction as an activity.

I think I just wanted to say that the perception of a 90% "success rate" v's all or nothing with sports betting felt like a troublesome comparison, for me at least. These games arent safer or fairer at all - they are both doing the same thing - in different doses to different audiences.

Many of my slots players didn't consider what they did "gambling" at all.
