A game designer is creating a new slot machine and wants to offer players a chance at a very large jackpot while keeping the base game affordable. The designer decides to use a high-volatility game with a low hit frequency. What is the most likely effect on the player experience?

Players will experience long periods without wins, but the potential for large payouts is high

The game will have a higher RTP than a low-volatility game with the same paytable

Players will win small amounts frequently, keeping them engaged for longer sessions

The game will be more suitable for casual players who prefer steady entertainment

What is the primary purpose of a 'loss limit' feature on a slot machine?

To track the number of spins for marketing purposes

To prevent the machine from malfunctioning

To increase the machine's payout percentage

To allow players to set a maximum amount they are willing to lose

Add a warning label on the machine advising players to gamble responsibly

Train floor staff to manually track player losses and exclude players on request

Enable the responsible gambling menu with loss limit and self-exclusion options

Install a sign near the slot area with the casino's responsible gambling hotline number
