Rotation Matrix & Session Heatmap: switch smarter, not faster
Stop hopping randomly between games. A simple rotation matrix (low/medium/high volatility lanes) and a color-coded session heatmap turn 12–15 minutes into clean progress: start green, watch for amber, exit on red—then skim peaks and close.

Peak-Skim
Random switching burns time and bankroll. The rotation matrix gives you three lanes: Low (steady missions), Medium (balanced push), High (short feature hunts). You pre-write a lane order (e.g., Low → Medium → Low) and stick to it for one block.
Your 3-lane matrix
- Low lane: 1–1.5% stake, 60–100 lines or simple mechanics; aim = consistency.
- Medium lane: 1% stake, bonus frequency reasonable; aim = mission ticks.
- High lane: 0.5–0.8% stake, brief probes; aim = feature attempt, not marathon.
Build a session heatmap (R/A/G)
- Green: calm breathing, clear choices, stable unit. Keep going.
- Amber: urge to “chase” or switch early. Pause 30–60s, drop back a lane.
- Red: tilt or euphoria. Skim gains to vault and end block.
15-minute rotation (copy/paste)
- Min 0–3 (Low): settle rhythm; if new peak, skim 50% to vault.
- Min 3–10 (Medium): complete a mission; if amber, return to Low.
- Min 10–12 (High): two short feature probes at half unit, then stop.
- Min 12–15 (Recap): note time/peak/close. Plan next lane order.
Pro tip: rotation ≠ rescue. If you hit red, closing beats switching. Peaks you keep > peaks you re-risk.
Operator checklist
- Visible RTP and volatility tag per title.
- Quick lane filters (Low/Med/High) and a session timer you can pin.
- One-tap vault to skim at new equity highs.
- Exportable recap with stake/unit/time—not personal data.
The heatmap keeps emotions readable; the matrix keeps choices simple. Put them together and your sessions end on purpose, not on impulse.
