Anyone else having good runs on Moon Race Hold & Spin lately?

Diddly on the Hold & Spin, that's rough, mate. I've had those arvos where the moon just won't land. I've had a few good slaps on it myself, though it can feel like a different machine from club to club, since each venue sets the RTP within the state minimum. My tip for the newcomers: give it a couple of hundred spins before you judge it, the grand and major build slowly off everyone's play in the joint. Ah well, we grind on 😉

Sam's got it right about the venue angle. Worth spelling out, because I've been keeping notes on this series for a while and the club-to-club difference is real. Each venue sets its own RTP within the state minimum, so Moon Race at one pub can genuinely behave differently to the same machine down the road, even before you factor in how much the grand and the major have built up on the linked play. On a small spin sample, the Hold & Spin is exactly the kind of feature where variance bites. It's a high-hit-or-nothing setup, so a session where it pays diddly tells you very little about the machine and a lot about the arvo you had. 📊 What I find interesting about Moon Race specifically is that the free games quietly carry more sessions than punters give them credit for, which Gramps noticed too.

Moon Race is my all-time favourite on the Lightning Link cabinet tbh 🚀🌙 Had a session at the club a while back where the Hold & Spin just kept retriggering and I walked out grinning, huge win ngl. Yeah the grand and major feel different venue to venue but that's half the fun, gotta hunt the livelier ones 😄

Retriggering Hold & Spin over and over? Reckon the memory makes that session sound better than the ledger does, mate 📊

I keep a fixed bet per spin when I'm on it, so a dead Hold & Spin stings the same everywhere 😭 Grinder's right, ledger beats memory. My Tuesday hit covered last night's slap, that's all that matters. 🎰

Ledger beats memory my foot 😤 had a Friday at the club where Moon Race paid for the whole arvo and the beers, stats can't take that away 🤑🎰

Neon's got a point though, the ledger argument falls apart a bit on the low denominators. My Moon Race sessions are small stakes at the club, so a decent Hold & Spin on a Friday genuinely swings the whole week's bankroll. Had one where the feature went quiet for ages then finally landed with a couple of full screens and it covered my last three visits in one go 💸 That's real money banked, not a fuzzy memory. Where Grinder's half right is the retrigger story. Those sessions blur together fast on a linked progressive like this. One thing worth remembering is the RTP gets set per venue within the state minimum, so the same machine can play tighter at one pub than your regular club. I've felt that difference firsthand, dead machine at one venue, generous at another. Session tracking sorts the truth out quick enough 🎰

Ledger shledger, some Fridays the grand's just sitting there waiting and you can feel it 😤 Moon Race gave me a monster Hold & Spin last night, covered everything 🤑 ah well, stats blokes gonna stat 🔥🎰

Feels different club to club too, Aristocrat sets the payback per venue, so a moon Race that pays at one pub can go dead 10 mins down the road. Cash the feature when it lands 💸

VegasDiva "you can feel the grand sitting there" 😂 mate I've said that exact thing three Fridays running and it's never once landed for me, Lightning Link loves dangling the major at like A$8k then some bloke two clubs over snipes it 🤧 Lee's right though, the one at my local pays decent some nights and then you drive ten mins and it's a dead machine, this slot pays when the venue feels like it 🔥🎰

BigWinGod nailed it, the major sniping is brutal 😭 My rule: if the Hold & Spin fills decent at low denominations, cash it and walk. Bankroll first, grand dreams later 🎰💸

Nah Brekkie cashing the feature early is weak, gotta let it ride for the grand 😤 this slot pays when it's good and ready... last Friday near had me howling 🔥🎰

Steve's got the romantic take but I'll back Brekkie here. Cashed a Hold & Spin at my club a bit back instead of pushing on and that money covered my next two sessions. The grand isn't coming. Some punter somewhere else snipes it, that's how the linked play works, the jackpot pool builds off everyone feeding machines across venues, so you're waiting on a whole network, not your spin. I set my bet per spin before I sit down and if the feature lands decent, that's the session done. Yesterday's bust taught me that again, chased a quiet Moon Race after the free games dried up and regretted it. Cash it and walk, bankroll discipline wins every time 💸

ChrisRTP's got my vote, cashed a Hold & Spin at my club once and that payout funded the next two arvos, whereas every time I've chased the grand it's gone straight back in 😭 reckon Moon Race at A$2 a spin feels tighter at some venues than others too, mates swear their local's dead while mine pays decent. Anyone else notice that club-to-club difference or is it just luck on the night? 🎰💸

Still learning bonuses and now this 😅 quick q, on Hold & Spin, does the feature end when your spins run out or when the screen fills? I cashed a small one at my local club last week and had no idea whether I could've kept going 🙈

@CasinoLadyLuck agree on the venue thing, my local's Moon Race has been ice cold lately 🥶 still love it though, that Hold & Spin tease gets me every time... ah well 🎰

@RideTheVarianceTillIWin each to their own mate, I'll back Steve on this one, Moon Race has been kind to me lately, last Friday at the club the Hold & Spin delivered and I walked out up a few hundred A$ 🤑 not chasing the grand though, that's a heartbreak road. Post your screenshot when IT lands for you 😏🔥

@FreeSpinsKing up a few hundred A$ and walked out, good on you, genuinely. Though funny how nobody in these threads ever posts the actual cashout receipt, just the memory of it. I'll believe the club paid when there's a screenshot. Worth remembering too that club pokies in Victoria run whatever RTP the venue picked, and two Moon Race machines ten metres apart can be set differently. Your local's might be on a decent config while Hobart's is getting fleeced on the same game. So "Moon Race has been kind to me" really means "that one cabinet was kind to me last Friday". Keep banking the wins while they land, that part you've got right.

@Darwin spins run out unless you land another coin and reset the count; fills the screen only if you fill all 15 spots, rare as hen's teeth. Your club win was pure luck mate 😏

Everyone's a Moon Race legend until you ask for the cashout pic hey 😂 I've fed that full 15 chase more A$ than I'd admit to the wife, machine just laughs at me. Genuine question though Geelong - after your 12-spot run, were you actually ahead on the session or just up on paper? 😏💸

Been on the clubs machine not the app, chasing that full 15 always bleeds me. Last decent hit I just banked it and walked 💸 Moons pay when you don't chase em 🎰

Yeah nah, banking and walking is the way. Got a decent moon run at the club Friday arvo, pocketed A$380 and went straight to the bar before I could talk myself into chasing the full 15 😅 Machine doesn't care about your streak, the maths just pays when it pays 🔥🎰

Ha, Friday arvo moon runs are the good life 😂 had one like that myself, pocketed A$420 off Moon Race and nearly talked myself into staying. Walked. This slot pays when it wants 🤑🔥

@Servo_Blue64 alright mate fair call on the receipts 😂 but I hit the full 15 on Moon Race at my local a while back and the A$1,200 is still in my account history, could post it if I could be bothered trawling screenshots. Machine runs hot some arvos, simple as that 🤑🔥

Funny how ChasingLosses says stop chasing receipts and FreeSpinsLive says he'd post one if he could be bothered 😄 each to their own. Moon Race has been kind to me a couple of arvos at the club, and cruel the rest of the week, which is about the whole story. Same was true back when Queen of the Nile ran the floor, nothing's really changed.

@FreeSpinsLive full 15 on Moon Race, deadset legend stuff 🤑 that A$1,200 hit must've felt unreal. I've been hammering it at my RSL most Fridays and it goes quiet for weeks then just turns on... last hold & spin I got 6 orbs and nearly fell off the stool 😂 post the screenshot mate, shut him up properly 🔥
