How a session behaves
A session at Pokies Baron is described as a limit and a stop, not as a story. 9 Skulls of Gold either fits that or it does not.
9 Skulls of Gold has no memory of last night. Set the loss limit before the first spin. A published RTP, when the card has one, is a long sample, not one arvo.
Who it suits
A high-volatility pokie suits a short session with a small A$ stake. The balance tends to move in lumps, so 9 Skulls of Gold is a poor place to try to win a loss back.
A high pace figure is the entry rule for the high volatility list.
