I'm going to split this into two parts, because I began writing this feedback before the "improvement" on 3/5 that added a cooldown between spins the longer you play.

Feb 24, 2026: I'm really enjoying the slots rework, and now that I'm more than 15k spins in and have won one jackpot, I think it's a good time to voice my thoughts. First, I absolutely love this slots rework. The layout doesn't jump around as much as the old slots, and overall it feels far more enjoyable than the previous version.

Despite the game feeling like a huge money pit, I still have a lot of fun and want to play all the time. I find myself looking forward to finding time to play. After winning my first jackpot, I had 16,379 total spins, 413,574,900 sP wagered, and 380,898,578 won. I only won 42,649,753 from the jackpot and was more than 70m in the hole prior to the win. But I don't really care about how much money was wasted because I have fun playing it. Thoughts that crossed my mind as I was playing through that many spins:

1. I wish Slots Coins were a much more abundant/sustainable reward. When I started spinning, I didn't know that they could give a coin bonus while playing. I read that the old functionality of the coin machine would be going away, so I stupidly converted all of my slots coins to 15k each at the legacy machine. By the time I learned that they could be used for slots, the price had been jacked up to 40k per coin. Shouldn't Ricardo want to encourage us to keep spinning by making sure that slots coins are abundant enough to sustain us? I also feel that he should be mentioning their new use with a wink and a nudge so that other players who are testing slots will know to give them a try. Overall though, the coin bonus is a pretty cool addition to the game.

2. I wish that I could turn the bonus spins on and off at will. Especially when the jackpot is low, sometimes I just want to idly spin with a low bid. But that feels super wasteful because the coins aren't common enough from the game itself. I'd love to be able to load up a bunch of charges and then just turn it off when the jackpot is low. The alternative is using the coins very sparingly during lucky streaks, navigating multiple pages to find and redeem them (which doesn't feel great as far as gameplay is concerned).

3. I really like the slots stats and wish that there was something similar for the coin machine. I would love to know specifically how many of each coin I've fed to the machine! I'm especially curious about how many slots coins I've gone through to win this jackpot.

Then, the update happened: 🔧Improvement: Ricardo's Slots Anti-Cheat Upgrade! Kumos Technical Ricardo now asks you a simple question during his interruptions, and you'll have to answer right ;)! We've also added a 1-second minimum between spins to prevent button-mashing, and if you've been at it for a while, Ricardo will make you take short breaks that get longer the more you spin. Take a breather, you slot fiend!

Post-update: Please reconsider the short breaks that get longer the more you spin. These growing cooldowns honestly ruin the whole flow of the game just as much, if not more, than all of the errors and lag during the start of Survival.

Those mandatory short breaks do not make me want to "take a breather" and then return to the game in a minute or so. They make me want to leave out of frustration and never open it again because the flow of the game now just feels broken. I hope you can reconsider and find another solution to whatever cheating problems prompted this update, because for me this patch made Slots a 1/5 instead of a 5/5. Even a 1 feels generous because I went from looking forward to each game session so that I could play slots alongside questing, to not even bothering with quests because I'm no longer looking forward to slots at all. Considering the significant price drop on slots coins since that update (18,900 sP now vs 40k sP on 2/24/26) I'm certain that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

I would guess that a decent amount of your playerbase that has stuck around are adults. We have limited and sometimes extremely unpredictable time to play. These days (unlike 20 years ago), we have pretty much limitless potential entertainment sources at our disposal that have no such barriers and would allow us to binge something mindless like this for as long as we could ever want. Sometimes I have just one random Saturday where I have no other obligations. If I want to spend it clicking on slots or something else mindless all day, why can't I? Wouldn't you rather have Slots draw a player back to subeta for some mindless clicking, vs just choosing another game? In its current state, I'd almost always just choose another game that has no such restrictions, especially considering how much of a money sink my first jackpot win was...
