What’s needed for nothing else but is set aside for play is called a bankroll. Management means the amount gets fixed before play starts, stakes get sized to withstand a normal losing run, and the figure gets treated as final rather than a starting point. The decision must come before play starts; once underway, it is precisely this decision that suffers.
The common misreading
Chasing losses is often framed as recovering. A negative expected return ensures that raising stakes post-loss increases, rather than lowers, the expected loss. The intuition behind a bigger bet recovering the money is right on possibility and wrong on expectation, arithmetically.

Using it in practice
Before that first spin takes place, lock in the amount and stopping point rather than mid-session. That amount ceasing to be discretionary is the cue to find support, not to rework the staking plan. It lands more easily next to what volatility means, which tend to show up in the same set of terms.
A term such as Bankroll management keeps recurring across this site’s game pages, and where the studio hasn’t made that figure public, the page says so plainly rather than pulling a number from some comparison site. That reason explains why blanks turn up in several of the spec tables you see here.
A worked example
A high-volatility game can go 80 spins straight with no return, and that’s normal, not unlucky. Mid-run is where a 20-spin bankroll always finishes on that class of game, every time. For a game to behave as designed, the session budget needs to cover at least 300 spins through proper stake sizing — that’s a minimum, not caution.
