Lightning Link: Sahara Gold Frequently Asked Questions & Member Consensus

Lightning Link: Sahara Gold β€” What is the community consensus?

The RSL one near me plays tighter than the casino version, same cabinet but the Hold & Spin comes slower, worth knowing each venue sets its own return. Grind through the dry spells and the feature does come, ah well, we grind on.

When the feature seems rarer, it’s usually just the long-run gimped RTP taking effect, regardless of where the machine is plugged in.
