Hit frequency measures how often any payout event occurs, not whether the payout is meaningful. Frequent small wins can still result in net loss over time.
Games with lower hit frequency may feel quieter but can cluster larger events. This is why frequency must be read alongside volatility and paytable structure.
Avoid judging a game solely from a short sample. Perceived streaks are normal in random systems and not evidence of hot/cold cycles.
Use hit frequency as a pacing signal, not a profitability signal.
