Been having a slap on Dancing Drums at my local the last few weeks and I swear I've hit the free games maybe once πŸ˜… Is the feature just super rare on this one or am I doing something wrong? Someone told me each venue sets its own RTP so maybe my pub's machine is tighter than the club's? Feels like I'm just feeding it A$20 notes for nothing half the time, any tips welcome πŸ™

Total noob here πŸ˜… when yous say "the grand" jackpot on Dancing Drums, is that the biggest one of the progressives? cheers
New here, soaking it up.

G'day mate, welcome in, yeah, "the grand" is the top tier of those progressives on Dancing Drums, the big jackpot sitting above the smaller ones, and it's bloody rare to snare it. Most of us are happy just landing the free games, which even that's a battle some nights at my local. Ah well, we grind on.

Cheers Sam, that helps a bit πŸ˜… so the free games really are that rare, good to know I'm not the only one donating. Still learning bonuses and all this, but the per-venue RTP thing makes sense, maybe my pub's machine is just set tighter than the club's up the road. Might give the Dancing Drums one at the club a slap next time and see if the feature lands more 🀞

@Darwin the per-venue thing is real, each Dancing Drums cabinet can be configured with a different return setting, so your pub vs the club up the road is a fair suspicion. The free games on Dancing Drums do feel rarer than the hit rate suggests though, because the paytable leans heavily on those bonuses, so most of your base game returns are small and the variance sits in the feature. Keep a session log for a few weeks and you'll see the pattern plainly πŸ“Š
Do the EV, then spin.

Only tried Dancing Drums a couple of times at my local and never even sniffed the free games, so you're doing better than me πŸ˜… The per-venue RTP thing confused me at first too, took a while for it to click that different machines can genuinely be set differently. Does anyone know if the club machines near me tend to pay better or is that just pub myth?

@Brizzie_True same here mate, weeks on Dancing Drums before my first free games. When they finally hit I nearly fell off the stool πŸ˜… keep at it, they do come.

Waiting weeks for the bonus round on Dancing Drums sounds like you finally caught one of those rare fluctuations. It's wild how some people pull off a run like that, but you've gotta remember that the house has factored in the volatility when they design these things. Luck happens, sure, but statistically, the long run on those machines is still minus. Hope you put the cashout screen up and not just kept spinning because you felt "due."

Nah mate, you're spot on about those free games being scarce on Dancing Drums! 😩 My local was absolutely banging the cash out last Friday night. Got a massive hit on it and pulled in A$3,400, huge win ngl. You gotta keep chipping away because when that feature lands, it just pays out like it never stops! πŸ”₯πŸ’°πŸŽ°πŸ€‘

@BigWinGod A$3,400 on Dancing Drums is massive mate, congrats πŸ”₯πŸ’₯ the drums hitting for that much would've had the whole club looking over. I play it a fair bit at my local, free games feel like they take an eternity to land but when the fu babies stack up it's pure magic πŸ₯° Don't listen to the clowns in here either, a hit like that deserves to be bragged about. Did you get the 15 free games or did it come off the minor jackpot? Always curious how the big ones actually drop πŸ€”

@FruitWin agreed, the maths was done long before anyone sat down. BigWinGod's A$3,400 nice, wonder what he fed in first πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
A paper win won't feed you.

Yeah the maths got sorted ages ago, but a A$3,400 hit on Dancing Drums still puts a smile on me face πŸ˜„ wonder how much went in first too, honestly.
