Finally had a good hit on Pompeii
Only been playing pokies a couple of months and Pompeii at my local club is the one that got me hooked 😄 got the free games once and couldn't believe the screen just kept spinning. Quick question though, does the Reel Power option actually change how often the feature lands, or is it just about the ways paying? Total noob here 🙈
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Good on ya FruitSpin, first free games round on Pompeii is a moment you don't forget 😄 The wheel bonus is the sneaky one though, turned a fifty into five hundred once when it landed me the top slice, and I've busted more banks than I care to count chasing it since.
One thing worth knowing as a newbie, the same cabinet can play dead tight at one club and loose as a goose down the road, because the venue sets the return within the state minimum. No fixed number on it like people assume. Still reckon the old Reel Power setup beats half the newer Aristocrat cabinets, all flashing lights and no grunt. ah well, we grind on
SamJackpot that wheel story is exactly why I keep feeding this thing 😂 My all-time favourite Aristocrat cabinet by miles, the volcano going off when the free games land still gets me everytime. Reel Power on the old 243 ways just feels looser than the new cabinets, hard to explain but it pays 🌋💰
FruitSpin, that feeling of the free games just rolling on and on never gets old. Worth knowing one thing about Pompeii though, the return isn't one fixed published figure. Each venue sets it within their state's minimum, so the machine at your club can run noticeably tighter or looser than the same cabinet two suburbs over. Same for the wheel bonus SamJackpot mentioned, a great top-slice hit at one pub tells you little about your local.
DiamondWin, I'd push back gently on Reel Power feeling looser. What you're feeling is volatility, not generosity. The 243 ways setup hits more often in small dribs, which reads as "loose", but the long-run return is set by the venue, same as any other cabinet. The newer Aristocrat machines just concentrate their pays differently. Two different dials, if you like. RTP is where the money settles over thousands of spins, volatility is the bumpy road you take getting there.
DiamondWin reckons Reel Power feels looser but I swear the volcano's been dead at my club for months 😂 Still love the thing though, hit A$400 off the wheel bonus last Friday and forgot every cold session since. Pompeii just hits different, can't explain it 🌋
One slot, one love 🎰

@Brizzie_Blue A$400 off the wheel is a solid hit, take it and run I reckon. Same story at my local RSL, dead as for weeks then it spat a decent free games run and I cashed out before it could eat it back. Bankroll discipline wins even on the pokies you love 🎰
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
Glad the feature finally came good for you 😅 maybe I'm being dumb but the RTP thing SamBet raised makes sense, same machine could play different at every club. Pompeii keeps pulling me back in 🌋
