RTP and spin chance are fixed by slot config. The style changes only the rate of expenditure (rate and size of the bet) and the amplitude of the result (volatility).

- Conclusion: the choice of style is the choice of risk, pace and discipline for your goal.
- Cautious → low/medium, HF ≥30 -35%, BF <120-150.
- Balanced → medium/moderately high.
- Aggressive → high (Megaways/multi/sticky Wild, pronounced "right tail").
- Bank's reserve (in rates): low/medium 200-500; high 500-1000 +; Bonus Buy series ≥60 -100 × purchase price.

- drawdown reached SL/2 before the middle of the time window;
- base metrics "stalled" (modifiers almost disappeared, L <1.3);
- fatigue/emotion> 5/10.
- → reduce the rate by a step, turn off Ante, slow down/pause. 3. Triggers to temporary gain (from profit):
- noticeable plus and strong "live" slot, tournament window;
- strictly 1 short press or 1 expensive purchase at risk → then PL/reset.
- 4. Any peak → PL 60-80% + Trailing; Rollback to Trailing → Stop/Slot Change/End.
- RTP ≥96%; Bet 1% bank; tempo 300-450; SL −30%; SW +40–60%; Trailing 50–70%; without Ante/Buy.
- RTP ≥96%; Bet 0,6–1,2%; tempo 300-500; SL −30–35%; SW +50–80%; Trailing 50–60%; 1 press out of profit (≤1% of the bank) maximum.
- RTP ≥96%; Bet 0.3-0.8% (cap ≤1%); windows 30-45 min; SL −35–40%; SW +80–120%; PL 60–80%; 1 short press/1 profit purchase; Buy: Unit-Risk 0.5-1% and Series 5-10.
Quick Style Selection (Check)
The goal "skid/record/multiplier tournament" → aggressive.
The goal is "even plus/wager/long session" → cautious.
I want to play and not "burn" the bank → balanced.
Bank small vs minimum slot → only careful or change slot/face value.
Strong external EV (non-sticky cache phase, must drop, fat cashback) → allow a shift to a more aggressive style within the risk cap.

Style Profiles (Preset)
1) Careful (safe)
For: WR/grind, long sessions, "playing without nerves."
Rate: 0.8-1.2% bank/spin (conservatively 1%).
Slots: ways/clusters/Hold & Win without aggressive upgrades; frequent modifiers; HF ≥30–35%.
Pace: 300-450 sp/h (without turbo).
Limits: SL − 25-30%, SW + 40-60%, Trailing + 50-70% of the peak, timer 45-90 min.
Bans: Ante/Buy - only if A/B or RTP\_ buy have proven benefit; there are no dogons.
When to switch to pause/output: drawdown to SL, fatigue, drop in HF/modifier activity.
2) Balanced
For: "play with a chance for a tangible plus," mixed day (a little WR, a little "snapshot").
Rate: 0.6-1.5% pot/spin (depending on slot).
Slots: medium/moderately high volatility; cascades/multi, but without "ultra-rigid" profiles.
Pace: 300-500 sp/h; autospin in packages of 25-50 with stops "at the event" (bonus, winning ≥25 -50 ×, ±% of the bank).
Limits: SL − 30-35%, SW + 50-80%, Trailing 50-60%, Profit Lock 60-80% at its peak.
Permissible: 1 short press from profit (1 step, not higher than 1% bank/spin), if the slot is high-vol.
Stops: any rollback to Trailing, three "empty" packages in a row without modifiers - pause/shift.
3) Aggressive (agro)
For: skid hunt, multiplier tournament, content/stream.
Rate: 0.3-0.8% pot/spin; risk cap ≤1% bank/spin.
Slots: Megaways/multi/sticky Wild, high P (≥100×).
Tempo: manual or short windows; sessions 30-45 min.
Limits: SL − 35-40%, SW + 80-120%, Trailing 50-60%, PL 60-80% at the peak; "1 spin/1 buy" on the cap from profit only, then resets.
Bonus Buy: series 5-10 purchases; Unit-Risk 0.5-1% bank/purchase; RTP\_buy ≥ RTP\_base.
Prohibitions: any dogon ladders, turbo at increased rate for no reason, max bet/T & Cs violation.
Select Slot by Style
Cautious: H&W "base," ways/clusters with L (cf. cascade length) ≥1,5 and modifiers ≥1/10 -15 spins, BF <150.
Balanced: the same, but a moderate high-vol slot with a "live base" (mods, cascades) is allowed if the rate is closer to 0.6-0.8% of the bank.
Aggressive: pronounced tail, retriggers/multi/sticky Wild; the absence of a bonus for 100 spins is the norm, the fixing of the peak decides.
Ante and Bonus Buy by Style (Rule A/B)
We consider:
where $\alpha $ is the premium to the rate (often + 25%).
Careful/Balanced: enable Ante only at $\Delta EV> $0.
Aggressive/tournaments: it is permissible to pay for the speed of events, but at risk and with understandable RTP\_ buy.
Money and time management
Bank reserves: low/med 300-500 bets (comfort), high 500-1000 +; Buy-series ≥60 -100 × purchase price.
Tempo change = hour price change. If the "hour" is expensive → reduce the rate and/or pace.
Max bet and Buy/Ante bans under bonuses are not a formality: violation = forfeiture risk.
On-the-fly style switching algorithm
1. Before starting: select a style, write down a bet, SL, SW, Trailing, timer.
2. Triggers to transition to more cautious:
Examples (numbers)
Cautious, Bank 200
Bet 1% (= 2), RTP 96%, tempo 350 sp/h → "price of the hour" $2 × 350 × 0.04 = $28.
For 60 minutes WR-grind, mods are regular, BF≈130. The result − 3% to cashback is normal for the process.
Balanced, bank 300
Bet 0.8% (= 2.4), Megaways with live base (L≈1,6).
On × 120 → PL 70%, Trailing 60%, another 15 minutes - stop on Trailing, result + 32%.
Aggressive, pot 300, multiplier tournament
Min. rate 0.20; windows of 40 minutes; the target is one x-peak.
On × 380 - the result is sent, full stop. Any further play lowers the EV of participation.
Bonus Buy-series, bank 1000
Purchase price × 100; Unit-Risk 0,8% (=8); 10 purchases → median ~× 35, one peak × 210; batch + 9% → PL 60%, pause.
Common Errors by Style
Careful: turn on turbo/Ante "to be faster" - an explosion in the price of an hour.
Balanced: stretch "press" by 3 + steps - turn the style into a dogon.
Aggressive: do not fix the peak and continue to "finish off" - give the profit back.
Everywhere: play at RTP <96% without external EV; exceed max bet under bonus; confuse "lobby popularity" with mathematics.

Conclusion
The style of play is a pattern of risk and pace to suit your goal.
Careful gives survival and turnover control - ideal for WR and long sessions.
Balanced combines the chance of a tangible plus with moderate risk - a working default for every day.
Aggressive hunts for peaks and prizes, but requires iron discipline of fixation.
Whatever style you choose, keep RTP ≥96%, the rate in% of the bank, the pace under the "price of the hour," and fix the profit. This is strategy, not superstition.
