Had a slap on Genghis Khan at the club last arvo and the Hold & Spin
had a slap on Genghis Khan myself a few weeks back at the club, that Hold & Spin teaser is enough to shorten your life I reckon. Got it twice in one session and both times it coughed up a minor and sent me on my way. Still, the build-up is half the fun, eh.
Against the rest of the Dragon Link lineup I'd put it middle of the pack for me personally. Happy Lantern and the others have their moments, but the warriors theme does it for me more than most. And worth remembering the RTP's set per venue within the state minimum, so your local might play a touch different to the pub up the road, something to keep in the back pocket before you judge the machine too harshly. ah well, we grind on 😄
Genghis Khan's my pick of the Dragon Link lineup honestly, that Hold & Spin gets the heart going 🔥 teaser or not 🤑 usually just grab a slap on it Friday nights, one minor and I'm happy 🎰
Two minors in one session off two Hold & Spin triggers? That's actually a decent hit rate on a small spin sample, Sam. Most of my Genghis Khan sessions at the club I'm lucky to see the orb screen once, and when I do it's usually three coins and a pat on the head.
What gets me about this one is how much the tease does the heavy lifting. You'll be sitting there with two orbs landed, third spin dragging on, heart going, and it whistles past the grand by one space. On paper the RTP at our local is set wherever the venue chooses within the state floor, so there's no comparing my machine to Maccas's Friday night one, they could genuinely be running different returns a suburb apart. That's why I judge Dragon Link by feel more than numbers: the Hold & Spin build-up plus the free games round carrying the session is worth something, even when the minor is all you walk out with. Happy to take a slap on it over half the newer cabinets going round, teaser and all. 📊
RTP is a long-run number.
Jackpots build from plays at that venue so they differ club to club mate 🎰 grand here's way smaller than city casinos. Still love a Genghis Khan slap Fridays 🔥
Maccas that's so true about the heart going 😅 I only found the orb screen once in maybe six slaps and got a pat on the head too. Maybe I'm being dumb but is Hold & Spin the main draw or the free games? 🤔
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Free games are where it pays imo, orbs just tease ya 😅 hit the feature once and it actually kept the session alive... grand would've been something else 🔥
SteveCobber nailed it, free games keep the session alive while the orbs just rob your heart 😂 I got the Hold & Spin at the club last arvo, filled half the screen and still only scraped a minor... one more orb and I reckon I'm walking out with the grand, ah well 🔥
The hit is close, I can feel it.
good on ya hobart, one more orb is the story of my life with these things 😄 been on the dragon link machines since the start and my two bob says hold & spin is the main draw, free games just pay the bills in between. reminds me of queen of the nile days, one tease and youd chase it all arvo. still worth a slap at the club though, the orbs get ya every time 😉
I remember the old slots first-hand.

@FreoDad half a screen and walking away a minor, Hobart that's the dragon link experience in one sentence 😂 FreoDad I'll cop that the orbs are the bait, but funny how everyone reckons they were "one more orb" from the grand and somehow nobody's ever posted a screenshot of actually landing it 🤡💸 sure, chase your tease all arvo mate, the machine thanks you for your service 😏
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.
@Ben_Win cheeky but fair 😂 truth is nobody posts the grand cos it almost never lands, half a screen and a minor IS the dream run. I've had my one big moment on Lightning Link years back, A$1,200 off a $20 slap, still chase that feeling every Friday 🎰🔥

@SpinToWin_Club so you had the A$1,200 Lightning Link hit years back and you're still chasing it every Friday? That's the whole business model in one sentence, mate. The machine gave you one memory and it's been paying rent on it ever since.
Got a cashout screenshot from that night? Ben's already asked and I'd genuinely like to see it, because the "won big, fed it all back" story is about 90% of the wins people quote. Credit where it's due, a win's a win - but Dragon Link and Lightning Link run the same play: dangle the grand, hand out minors, let the near misses do the marketing for free. The long-run maths hasn't changed since Queen of the Nile days, and it still points down.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
A$1,200 off a $20 slap and you're still chasing it every Friday, that's the trap mate 😂 did you even withdraw that one, or straight back in?

@Brizzie_Mate kinda agree with you there 😅 one hit years ago and chasing it every Friday sounds rough. Question from a total noob though, does chasing actually work on these or nah? 🤔
New here, soaking it up.
@GrampsAllDay78 chasing never works mate, guaranteed minus long-run 😂 SpinToWin's been proving it every Friday since that A$1,200 night. Bank account's still crying 💸

@Brizzie_Mate mate you're describing my Genghis Khan sessions word for word, one memory and I'm back every arvo 😂 can't screenshot a balance I deposited the last of it lol
One more spin, promise.
lol GrampsKnows that one hit me hard 😂 my Genghis Khan sessions are the same, chase the Hold & Spin hoping the grand hits and walk out minus my slab money most Fridays. Brizzie_Mate i'm not chasing that old Lightning Link win, i just love the game, there's a difference 🤣🔥 last arvo had the respins lock up four orbs and still bricked. Genghis Khan keeps us all broke ngl 💸🎰
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.

@FreeSpinsKing mate same boat, Genghis Khan's Hold & Spin got me hooked too, two lousy orbs and I'm still convinced the next spin fills the screen 😂 had a decent minor at the club a few Fridays back and blew straight back into it, ah well... it's just too good a feature to walk away from 🔰🎰
One slot, one love 🎰
@Royal77 that minor hitting then straight back in is the Genghis Khan way 😂 I did the same on the Lightning Link at my local, won a few hundred and it was gone before the game finished. Two orbs and somehow still believe the screen's gonna fill, every time 🔰🎰 this slot pays when it wants to I swear
One slot, one love 🎰

@Royal77 two orbs and I'm the same, deadset keep thinking the screen's gonna fill 😅 only found Genghis Khan recently, is the grand even hit by anyone at the local?

@RideTheVariance_Everyday96 never actually seen the grand drop at my local mate, closest I got was a screen full of hearts on Dragon Link and it paid like A$600, still my favourite session this year 😱💰 The grand's one of those things everyone chases and nobody's witnessed, but that's half the fun. Give it a few Fridays, the Hold & Spin gets in your blood quick 🔰🎰

@MaxBetLife247 A$600 for a full screen sounds like a bloody good arvo to me 😅 I've only had Genghis Khan give me the minor once and even that felt huge. Total noob question maybe, but does the grand jackpot actually reset after someone hits it, or does it just keep climbing forever? Still working out how these linked ones work 🤔

@RideTheVariance_Everyday96 never seen the grand drop on Genghis Khan myself, just minors mostly. Reckon it resets once hit, they wouldn't leave it climbing forever. Set yourself a loss limit before you chase it mate 💸
@Wollongong_True decent advice on the loss limit, though I'd go further on Genghis Khan specifically. The Hold & Spin there is built to feed you two orbs at a time and charge you a fortune for the privilege. Every "this close" story at my local ends the same way, no withdrawal screenshot, ever. Cronulla nailed it with that question.
Also worth remembering the house edge on these linked progressives doesn't drop just because the grand looks juicy. The jackpot is funded by everyone feeding it, mostly from losing punters. If you want to chase it, fine, just treat the session cost as entertainment and cash anything decent out immediately. My rule after years of watching mates donate: hit a win on the pokies, put the card away. No payout, no proof, as far as I'm concerned.
Hype isn't a payout.

@FreeSpinsKing minus the slab money most Fridays 😂 that's basically the Genghis Khan business model mate, they know half the club's chasing that grand every arvo. The house always wins, and these Hold & Spin features are built to keep you feeding it two orbs at a time. So where's the profit after a year of Fridays? Be honest 😏💸
The house always wins.

@ChrisGold spot on mate, two orbs at a time is exactly how they get ya 😂 every bloke at my club swears he was "this close" on Genghis Khan but did anyone actually withdraw? Seen a fella feed a lazy hundred into it Thursday arvo for one respawn and a pat on the back 💸 the grand's just bait, always has been 😏

@Cronulla the withdrawal screenshot is the Loch Ness monster of Genghis Khan threads, always exists, never photographed 🤣 I donated to the casino again on it Tuesday, two orbs and a prayer every spin. My "this close" story involves the arvo sound button and a bloke clapping, that's about it 😂
@RideTheVariance_Everyday96 never seen the grand drop on Genghis Khan myself, just minors mostly. Reckon it resets once hit, they wouldn't leave it climbing forever. Set yourself a loss limit before you chase it mate 💸
@Wollongong_True yeah it resets once someone hits it, the club near me put a sign up after a bloke took a decent one off Dragon Link years back. Good advice on the loss limit too, I turned 50 into 5k on the old reel machines once and gave most of it back the same night chasing more 😄 grand's a lottery ticket, minors keep the arvo alive.
Never even seen a withdrawal screenshot from Genghis Khan at my club either 😂 gave it two sessions at A$1 a spin, two orbs both times, walked after the second one. My rule now, if the respins don't land in the first handful, cash the rest out and go drive someone to the airport.
Cashing out in time is half the battle.
