best online casino new zealand and the weird "one slot only" challenge

Been playing online for years here in NZ and last weekend I tried something random. Deposited NZ$80 and told myself I'd stick to a single slot for exactly 500 spins instead of jumping around every 10 minutes like I usually do.

Picked one of the popular games I keep seeing on the best online pokies nz lists and ran it at $0.20 a spin. The strange part wasn't the result. I finished almost break-even at NZ$76. The strange part was how much less tilted I felt. Usually when I switch games nonstop, every dead session feels worse.

Now I'm wondering if game hopping is actually the problem, not the RTP everyone argues about. Curious if anyone else noticed this at a fastest payout online casino nz or any best online casino new zealand site. Do you stick with one game or bounce around constantly?
