played gates for 2 hours and bonus never came, then next 10 spins after lowering bet it hits

two hours spinning away, nothing but dead spins and little teases. i was getting stubborn and kept the same bet size hoping for a turnaround. finally got annoyed and dropped it way down just so i could get a few more spins out of my balance before rage quitting. obviously, immediately after lowering, the bonus smacks in. not even a good one, just average, but still… classic move.

anyone else notice the bonus always seems to drop right after you change your bet? feel like i wasted all those spins for nothing. how do you all deal with this - do you just stick to one bet the whole session or do you change it up?
