Does anyone else play Lightning Link High Stakes at the pub?
Only started having a slap on Lightning Link: High Stakes at my local pub lately and it's honestly a fun one. Total noob here so bear with me 😅 The Hold & Spin bit got me the first time, those orbs just kept landing and I had no idea what was going on but I was grinning anyway. Free Games came around once too which was nice.
Does anyone know how the Hold & Spin actually triggers? Feels random to me. And the progressive jackpots on it, are they the same across all the machines in the club or does each pokie have its own? Someone told me the payout rate can differ between venues too, which sounds sus but I've got no clue. Cheers 🙏
Asking dumb bonus questions, that's the job.
sounds like you had a decent first session with lightning link: high stakes, those initial holds and spins are pretty addictive, aren't they?
you get hooked when the little things start paying out quick, and that hold and spin feature is designed to give you a bit of that immediate gratification right off the bat. i remember back when i first saw these bigger aristocrat builds in the pubs, the progressive element was what really kept a punter coming back because you never knew if that next spin was just another small scatter or if it was going to turn into a big free games session or maybe even a crack at one of the progressive jackpots. you just have to ride the volatility, you know? when you’re not seeing those feature triggers, you just grind on and wait for the next thing to pop up. ah well, we grind on.
Quick dumb question 😅 when people say the grand jackpot on High Stakes, is that the big progressive one or does every pub set its own? Maybe I'm being dim.

you're not being dim, mate, i get the confusion about the big progressive stuff. when we talk about the grand with Lightning Link: High Stakes, it's just a feature of the game when you're at the club, not a single number fixed for all the venues. every pub sets its own progressive jackpot, so you're playing it with hopes of a big win whenever the odds line up in your local session.
Been grinding longer than some have played.

@JackpotDreams_Loyal pretty much nailed it, the grand is a venue-level link so each club's meter grows at its own rate depending on how many machines and how much turnover they've got. Worth remembering there's a variance nuance here too, a bigger grand doesn't make the game looser, the base RTP on High Stakes stays whatever Aristocrat set it at, so chasing a fat meter at one pub over another is mostly feel rather than maths 📊
Do the EV, then spin.
Good thread this one 😄 I've only had a couple of goes on High Stakes myself and the free games round caught me off guard the first time, didn't even realise I'd triggered it until the screen changed. The Hold & Spin is proper addictive though, chasing those orbs to fill the whole set is half the fun even when nothing drops.
JackpotDreams answered the grand question better than I could've, seems like each venue sets it up its own way so the one at my local wouldn't match the club across town anyway. Honestly the volatility has bitten me a few quick losses in a row 😅 but then one decent feature pulled it back. Keen to hear if anyone's actually landed the major on this machine, or is that just pub legend?

@NearMiss_PTSD not dim at all, each club links it into their own network so the grand differs venue to venue. Hit a solid minor on Lightning Link High Stakes last Friday, never the grand yet 😅🎰

@JackpotDreams_Loyal yeah that clears it up, cheers. Explains why the grand at my local always looks tiny compared to the clubs in the city I guess 😂 funny how everyone remembers the time the meter was fat and nobody posts a screenshot when the grand's sitting at a measly grand or two. sure, post the screenshot when you actually snag one mate 💸😏

@Ben_Win deadset haha, everyone's got a story about the fat meter but crickets when it's lean 😂 my local's grand sits pretty low too but I still whack High Stakes every Friday, snagged a decent minor off it last month and nearly fell off the stool 🤑🎰
