“…Behavioural experiments suggest that players prefer multiline slot machines that allow LDWs compared to single-line variants, or games that do not allow for LDWs (Delfabbro et al, 2005;Dixon et al, 2014a;Graydon et al, 2018). Interviews with regular slot machine players (Livingstone et al, 2008), analysis of actual play data (MacLaren, 2015;Templeton et al, 2015), and observation of play (Landon et al, 2017), suggest that players adjust their playstyles such that the probability of LDWs occurring is maximised. In so doing, they bet on multiple lines, usually preferring to place the minimum bet on the maximum number of lines, despite the fact that this strategy offers no change in financial return to player (Harrigan et al, 2011).…”
