I'm pretty new to the world of hustling, and am operating on a small bankroll, and am wondering if any of you other slot players have any tips for handling variance and how much of it I should expect in slots compared to other forms of advantage play?

I just got back from a trip and crunched my data and had some pretty shocking results. For example, I chased a farmville 2x in the upper 20's at min bet and had a total RTP of just over 50% including the progressive and only 25% payback on the base game. Is this just variance or am I doing something wrong.
