base game randomly paid more than the bonus lol

threw a couple twenties into a new machine at the bar and wasn’t really expecting anything, just needed to chill after a shift. crazy thing, i wasn’t getting anything special until it hit this random spin for like 120x. didn’t have any bonus symbols showing or anything, just straight up regular payline magic. i know everyone gets hyped for the bonuses, but now i’m wondering if the base game is actually more underrated than we think.

kinda makes me rethink always hammering that bonus hunt mode. anyone else ever see the base game just drop a fat one outta nowhere? usually feels like i’m sitting there getting milked for bonus teases, but this time it straight up paid me for being patient. trust the process i guess, even if it goes against the hype.
