Anyone else still having a slap on old 5 Dragons at the pub?
5 Dragons on a dead night is such a vibe 🐉 gave one a slap at the pub last arvo, place was empty, every machine cold, went the free games with the multipliers instead of extra spins and it actually PAID, whole front bar heard me carry on lol. reckon picking the bigger multiplier feels way braver when the rooms empty, like noones around if it all goes bad 😂
still rate the old Aristocrat cabinets honestly, 243 ways + Reel Power just feels right compared to the shiny new stuff. tho I swear the one at my local plays different to the one at the club up the road, heard the payback gets set per venue, just has to sit above the state minimum or something?? anyway, anyone else still having a slap on these or am I the only one 🤷🔥
ha, chris, that front bar moment is the good stuff. i've been giving these a slap since the old reel days and 5 dragons still reckon as aristocrat's best of that asian run, the reel power thing with 243 ways changed everything back then, hits come thick even when they're small. funny thing about the multiplier choice, i always go fewer spins and the bigger multis on a quiet machine, feels like it wakes the thing up. mind you a mate of mine swears the opposite, so who knows.
worth remembering the rtp isn't one fixed number either. Set per venue, so the same cabinet can be generous at one pub and tight as a fish's proverbial at the club up the road. took me years to learn that, turned 50 into 5k once at a ballarat club on one of these and figured i'd cracked it... then got belted twice at the next place down. ah well, we grind on 😄
The multiplier pick is where the variance lives, Chris. And worth remembering: same cabinet plays different club to club, venue sets the RTP within the state minimum.
Volatility > vibes.
Grinder's spot on about venues setting it, Darwin. Same dragon can play totally different pub to pub. Me, I always go fewer spins with the bigger multipliers on 5 Dragons, one of those retriggered free games at my local cleaned me up 🔥🎰 still reckon it's Aristocrat's all-time favourite for mine 🐉💰

Funny how everyone blames the venue RTP when the feature doesn't hit. Reel Power still spits small wins all session, multiplier pick is where the volatility bites 🔥
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
Big multipliers only, all day 🐉 took the 5x side of the pick at the club once and it went off, whole lounge heard me yelling 😅 small wins during Reel Power just keep you seated for the feature 🔥
Nah fellas, small wins during Reel Power keeping you seated?? That's cope talk 😂 those trickle wins are how they get ya, you're feeding it A$20 waiting on a feature that might never show on a dead machine night 🐉
Still love the game ngl, but I reckon the multi choice thing is where the real talk should be, same cabinet can play totally different from pub to club cos the venue sets its own RTP, so your "the dragon's cold" theory might just be the pub you picked 💀 went the big multi side last Friday after a few, feature hit on like the third free game and… yeah whole pokie room knew about it 🔥🎰
Nah Steve's onto something but I'll die on the multi hill 🐉 went the 5x pick at the club Friday arvo and smacked a hit that had me yelling, walked out up A$180 off one feature 😱 trickle wins are just fuel to get you to the feature, that's where this slot pays 🔥💰
One slot, one love 🎰
Whole front bar hearing you yell is half the reason I go to the club for these 🐉 reckon the venue does change how it feels tho, same cabinet plays different at my local vs the one up the road, so Steve's got a point that a dead night can just be that machine being set stingy 😅 still, give me the multi pick every time, when it lands it LANDS… 🔥
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Walking out up A$180 off one feature, sure mate, and what'd the arvo cost you before that hit landed? 😏 just asking about profit here
Show me the withdrawal first 😏

@SpinToWin247 mate that's pokies, you don't tabulate the arvo like a stock portfolio 😅 sometimes you feed it A$40 and get nothing, sometimes the dragon wakes up and pays for your whole night. That Friday was one of the good ones and I'll take it 🤑🐲🔥
One slot, one love 🎰
@Neon_Addict nah I tabulate every arvo, that's how I last the distance 😅 A$40 in, bet 2 a spin and you're getting decent runs at the feature instead of torchoing it on max. Yesterday I stuck to my limit and walked down A$40 flat, didn't hit, but no harm done. Bankroll discipline wins long-run 🎰

Fair question to SpinToWin247, that's the only way to judge it 😅 I gave 5 Dragons a hit Saturday, set A$50 hard limit, and the feature actually landed inside that, banked it and walked. Cashing out in time is everything with this one, the trickle wins mean nothing if you sit there chasing a second feature 🎰🔥

@SpinToWin247 you'd be the bloke tabulating his arvo at the pub on a napkin 😂 nobody's walking away rich off old 5 Dragons, the house always gets its cut long-run, we're just paying for the show. Neon feeding it A$40 and hitting a feature is a fair night, ain't it. What's your last session look like then, or did that bank already bust 🤡
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.
@DeadSpinRegret spot on mate, payin for the show and when the dragon wakes up that's a bonus 🐲🔥 had a mate land the feature off A$20 once, still cops a ribbing about it 🤑
