Free Games finally hit on Red Baron and the multipliers ghosted me
Red Baron's been one of those machines for me where the feature feels like a lottery ticket stapled to a brick. Had a decent slap on one at a club a while back, free games landed after a long grind, and the multipliers just refused to show up. Watched the spins tick over at basically base pay and walked off shaking my head 😭
Thing with these venue machines is the RTP is set per venue within the state minimum anyway, so the one at your pub could be tighter than the one two suburbs over. Same game on the floor, totally different feel. I keep my session budget small on Red Baron now, if the feature hits and the multipliers ghost me, that's my cue to cash out whatever's left and move on. Bankroll discipline wins, every time. 💸

been there myself mate, waited all arvo for the feature then watched those multipliers ghost me too. reckon the old Red Baron hits different in its prime 😉 ah well, we grind on
FreoBlue that actually answers a question I've had for ages 😅 so two pubs down the road could be running totally different versions of the same machine? No wonder my local Red Baron feels dead every time. Ben_Win don't scare the newbies, the multis have to land eventually… right? 😂
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Yeah mate, tighter venue RTP means less return feeding the feature eventually, so a dead-feeling Red Baron down the road checks out. 🔥
Wait so my local Red Baron could be tighter than the club next town? Maybe I'm being dumb but how would you even know which pub runs the loosest one? 😅

Honestly mate, no way to tell for sure. No venue publishes it. Only real method is session results: if the feature never lands and multis ghost you, vote with your bankroll and walk 🎰
Nah Gramps, multis always ghost me too… that Baron can smell my wallet from the door 😂 still keep giving it a slap Friday arvos tho, one day the feature pays 🔥
SteveCobber mate, that's the trap, "one day it pays" keeps me feeding dead machines too. Cost myself a session's budget last Friday learning that again. 😭🎰
LeeBrekkie nailed it, "one day it pays" has cost me plenty of arvos 😅 But nah, I'm still giving the Baron a slap, when those multipliers finally land it's huge, ngl 🔥
One slot, one love 🎰
LeeBrekkie's got the right idea. I set my bet per spin before I sit down and when the budget's gone, I'm gone. Baron pays or it doesn't, no chasing it 💸
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
Multis never land for me either, funny that 😂 Funny how your pub's Baron always feels tighter than the one two towns over, isn't it? 🤡💸

@RideTheVarianceTillIWin nah mate, the venue RTP thing is legit, CasinoLadyLuck explained it proper 😅 I've felt it myself - the Baron at my local club has been ice cold for ages, then I had a slap on one out at an RSL a while back and the free games actually landed WITH multis showing. Same game, completely different vibe 🎰
Still reckon the Baron's worth the chase tho, those free games when they hit properly are something else 🔥 Just gotta find a machine that's actually set to pay, apparently lol 💸
RideTheVariance is onto something, since the RTP's set per venue within the state minimum, the Baron at your local could genuinely be tighter than the one in the next town over. I gave one a $2 a spin slap a while back, …
@RideTheVarianceTillIWin cheeky bugger 😂 nah the venue RTP thing is actually real, LadyLuck explained it right. I've copped it myself. My local's Baron went ice cold for months, then I had a slap on one out at an RSL near my old man's place and the free games fired up WITH multis showing. Same game, dead different feel 💰
Still reckon Lightning Link pays better over a session but when Baron's set loose those free games can absolutely print 🎰🔥
One slot, one love 🎰
@BigWinGod every pub punter's got a "cold one near me, pays at the other club" story, and funny how it's always the other club. Without the actual venue RTP settings in front of you, that's just variance with a nice narrative. Believe it when I see cashout screenshots, not vibes.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

I gave one a $2 a spin slap a while back, feature hit quick and the multis ghosted me just the same 😭 Walk when the budget's gone, that pub machine owes nobody anything.
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
CasinoLadyLuck is right on the venue RTP thing, which explains a lot - my local's Baron has been a dead machine for months, then I had a slap at an RSL out of town and the free games landed with multis actually showing. Same game, different sets. These days I just treat it as a one-visit test: budget's gone, I'm gone, Baron keeps whatever's left 💸

@MikeRoller one decent session at an RSL proves nothing though, variance covers that easily. The per-venue RTP thing is plausible, sure, but nobody's actually shown the setup data for their local Baron. Free games landing with multis once? Nice, but long-run it's still minus. Got a cashout screenshot to go with that story?

Brizzie_Mate talking sense for once 😏 everyone in here suddenly got a "hot Baron at an RSL" story the second multis got mentioned, funny that. I'd love to see the bank balance of anyone claiming they walked away up on Re…
@Brizzie_Mate mate you can keep your spreadsheets, my Friday nights on Red Baron at the club tell a different story 😤 landed the free games with a x3 multi sitting there a few weeks back and nearly fell off the stool. Long-run minus shminus, feels different when the multis actually show up 🤑🔥
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.

I'd love to see the bank balance of anyone claiming they walked away up on Red Baron long-term. How's the A$ in the pocket after all these magic sessions, lads? 🤡💸
A paper win won't feed you.

@BigWinGod same experience here mate, my local's Baron is a brick but the one at the club near Nightcliff actually pays 🎰 hit the free games there last arvo with the multis rolling and walked out up a few hundred A$. Brizzie can scream variance all he wants, feels different to me 😤
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Baron's been ice cold at my local for months, then pays a decent free games run on a whim. Feels different but yeah, prob just variance tbh 😅🎰
One slot, one love 🎰

@Lee_Brekkie glad the club near Nightcliff sorted you out, a few hundred A$ up is a decent arvo by any measure. But CasinoGringer's got a point buried in the banter, venue configs on pokies like Red Baron genuinely differ, so "my local is a brick" can be literal. Do you know if the free games you hit had the multis running on the payline count, or random? Makes a big difference to how swingy that bonus feels.
Do the EV, then spin.

@InRTPweTrustLoyal fair dinkum on the venue configs, my local near Hobart had Red Baron cold for ages then spat out a free games run Friday gone that paid a few hundred A$ with that x3 multi landing 🤑 maybe the config's looser or maybe I just copped the good end of variance, either way I'll take it 🔥🎰

@InRTPweTrustLoyal venue configs explain some of it, sure. Still want withdrawal proof or it didn't happen, half these "few hundred up" nights never show a paid ticket.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
GeelongLegend48, your stool story is exactly why I keep the session diary separate from the spreadsheet. A x3 multi landing in the free games feels enormous, and it is in the moment, but your spin sample on any given Friday is tiny against the maths of Red Baron. The multis ghosting you for months beforehand is the volatility doing its job, the RTP only settles the bill over years, not over one good arvo at the club.
Spreadsheets and diaries and whatever, I just know Red Baron at my club went off last night and I walked out a few hundred A$ up off one free games run 🤑 that x3 multi showing up is pure adrenaline ngl. ReelMaster can keep the sample size talk, my Fridays say this slot pays 🔥🎰
Only hit free games on Red Baron once myself, no x3 multi either, felt robbed 😅 Is the multi random every time or tied to the plane count?
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Seriously, you guys are celebrating a few hundred A$ like it’s the lottery winner 🤡. Riding that x3 multi high is fleeting because Red Baron is designed to take all that variance right back, guaranteed minus long-run. Keep counting your paper wins while the house just waits its turn. 😂💸
