I've had a counter question in my head for a long time:
— how can I determine in the first few spins whether the slot is in play or not?
Are there any obvious signs, Markers?
It is normal not to determine the slot in the first few spins. You need a standard distance and pressure growth according to the templates that often work with this slot machine. If the money grows in cycles and there are no deep drawdowns, good bonus games come in, combinations maintain balance, then there is a game.
