What Is the Practical Implication of Low Gamma for a Deep OTM Option Buyer?

The practical implication of low Gamma for a deep OTM option buyer is that the option's Delta (its sensitivity to price) will not change significantly unless there is a very large move in the underlying asset's price. The option will remain "sticky" at a low Delta, meaning the premium will not appreciate much even with small favorable price movements.
