Escape players, on the other hand, otherwise known as time-on-device players or play-to-win-to-play players, are willing to forgo large jackpots for regular wins and extended play time, and so prefer “low volatility, high hit frequency” games programmed to dispense constant little payouts (or reinforcements, in Skinnerian lingo).12 Known as “drip-feed,” “grind,” or “dribble-pay” games, they nibble slowly at a budget until it is gone.
