Keep the hive spinning as a bit of fun
Wild Swarm is built to entertain, not to sting. If the spins start costing money or calm you can't spare, back away from the hive and reach out. Free and confidential help is on hand at any hour.
Set what you'll feed the swarm before you spin, then stop when the pot runs dry.
Give your session a limit so one more swarm doesn't buzz on for hours.
A cold spin owes you nothing. Don't chase the swarm to win it back.
Step away from the hive regularly. A pause keeps things in perspective.
Take an honest minute with these. They're from the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), separate from how Wild Swarm plays. Answer “yes” to two or more, and it's worth contacting a group above.
