Learn the patterns and practice, no other way to do it. Oh, and try to stay in about the middle of the space between the left edge and the edge of the slot machine, that should give you enough room to maneuver while also giving youu enough time to see what's coming.

I saved up a few special attack cards for that moment so once the slot machine opened up and started spewing platforms, I could get a few tough shots in and then mostly concentrate on the platforming while holding fire. Between that and getting lucky with what the slots give me, I was able to take it out. If all else fails, scrounge up a few coins and buy the Smoke Bomb charm, which makes you invincible when dashing, which breaks a few of the platforming traps.

I beat it with the peashooter and the chaser. A good advice that works on any boss: If you see something pink, remember you can bounce on it by doing the spin in the air. It fills up your super bar. Use the chaser in the first phase to deal with the fire flies. You won't need to aim, just keep the button pressed and focus on dodging the other frog.

Second phase, switch to peashooter. The frog on the right will only do two attacks that i seen. The bouncing balls that are really easy to dodge, and the fireballs from first phase. But he will always do it as a stair starting from the bothom then up. So, be mindful of jumping that first fire ball, then stay on the ground for the rest.

3rd phase. The slot machine, you just gotta wing it. Be mindful the platforms come slowly at first so you can get used to dodging them, but keep coming faster and faster, so you gotta adjust your timing of jumps. Good luck.

Phase 1 is easy just dodge the hands and keep shooting, shoot the flys when he releases them...

Phase 2 ignore the frog on the left and keep shooting the one on the right while dodging the guy on the lefts projectiles. Staying in the middle makes them easier to avoid.

Phase 3 I always avoided the first two coins and parried the handle IMMEDIATELY when it came down. If you hit it straight away 99% of the time you will avoid being hit with a coin.

3 Bulls on slot machine = Jump over or duck under platforms to avoid flames...
3 Tigers on slot machine = Jump between the platforms and the balls that shoot out of them...
3 Frogs(?)on slot machine = Jump on top of every platform but they get faster...

The 3 Tigers on the slots is probably the hardest to dodge. The 3 Frogs is probably the easiest once you get it down. It's random what ones you get every time as far as I know.

I used the homing gun. Just keep shotting up and platforming in that third phase.

Not specifically related to this boss, but some adjustments to the controls have made this game easier for me.

My problem with the default controls is that so many important actions are assigned to the face buttons. It feels really clunky when you need to press 2 or 3 buttons at once, e.g. when you need to keep firing while jumping and dodging.

Anyway, I remapped my Xbox gamepad to:

Shoot - LT
Super - LB
Dodge - RT
Switch Weapon - X

This way, my right thumb only need to focus on jumping and the occasional weapon switch.
