Been spinning on and off for about six years now. Took most of this year off after a brutal dead streak and came back low-stakes only - 20c spins, strict session budget, cash out once I'm up 50%. On the max-win question, my one decent hit (~2k off a 40c bet) just made me chase it for months, so I get what Maddison means about it cutting both ways. These days I treat it as paid entertainment, not income. If it ever stops being fun, that's my cue to walk.
