Autumn Moon vs the rest of the Dragon Link cabinet

chris you're spot on, autumn moon teases you with the hold & spin every second spin at the club but the orbs come up limes, had a slap last week and filled the screen with nothing but small change 😄 thing to remember with dragon link is the venue sets the rtp within the state minimum, so the same cabinet can play tighter at the pub than the casino, worth comparing. ah well, we grind on.

Tighter at the club than the casino? That's just the venue dialing the RTP wherever it's allowed to sit, Chris - same cabinet, different maths depending whose carpet you're on. And all this "hits more often but pays smaller" talk… every Dragon Link title does the orb dance before it hands you limes, that's the whole con 😏 Your bank still copped the guaranteed minus long-run either way, didn't it 🤡💸

@BankrollKing house always wins long run yeah, but my Friday hit on Autumn Moon paid for the arvo's beers easy 🤑 real money in me pocket, not on paper mate 🔥🎰

@BankrollKing the hits are real money when you walk to the cashier and get paid, simple as that. I cashed out a decent one on Autumn Moon at the club myself a while back, hit the bonus round, banked it, walked. Long run the house edge always grinds you down sure, but that's why you set a loss limit before you sit down and actually stick to it. My rule on the cabinet is A$2 a spin, done the second I'm up a set amount or down my cap. What gets me is the grand tease though, that thing is engineered to keep you spinning past your stop point. If you let the near misses run your session, yeah, the house wins every time. Discipline does the dodging, luck just fills the pockets 💸

@VegasDivaBonus that grand tease gets me every time too 😅 still learning bonuses and all this stuff, but Autumn Moon near misses hit different. Question though, when you cashed out at the club, did the cashier have any withdrawal limits or was it just walk up and get paid? Total noob here, want to know before I chase a hit 🤑

@Royal77 "heart not maths" is exactly how a punter ends up A$300 down on Autumn Moon wondering where the Friday went. The maths doesn't care about your heart, it just waits for you. Having said that, Model_Sheet might genuinely be onto something. Dragon Link cabinets in clubs aren't all configured the same. Denomination and the RTP rules behind hold and spin can differ from venue to venue, so his local Autumn Moon may legitimately sting harder than yours. What he's calling "gimped" could just be a tighter config, plus a bit of session variance on a small spin sample. Either way, orbs dropping "way more often" at your club is one Friday's worth of observation, not a stat. Track it over a few visits and see if the tease rate holds up. 📊

@Royal77 "colds drop orbs way more often" is the classic gambler's fallacy dressed up with fire emojis mate 😂 every Autumn Moon cabinet has the same set payout cycle, your club's one just remembers you feeding it. Funny how nobody ever posts the A$ they shove in before the orb comes 🤡

@Cronulla spot on. I feed the club's Autumn Moon a cheeky fifty now n then and it "coughs something up" alright, about A$30 of it 🤡

@ChrisGold ha, no silence from me, I track mine. Autumn Moon on the local club machine, I set A$2 a spin with a hard A$100 stop and I'm up marginally over the last few months. Most punters don't write any of it down though, that's where the "hits orbs regular" stories come from 😭🎰

Yeah I reckon you'd hear silence from me too 😅 I only started on Autumn Moon a few months back and never wrote anything down. ChrisRTP's tracking idea might be my go from here.

@Parra18 lol the "it's due" feeling got me too, one Saturday at the local I pumped like A$40 into Autumn Moon chasing the orbs and got nothing 😅 New to all this still so might sound dumb, but does the orb hit rate actually change with bet size or is it the same odds at A$2?
