Had a slap on Red Baron at the club arvo
Gave Red Baron a slap at the club last week myself, kept the bet small til the Free Games landed and the multipliers did the rest. Swear that WWI warbird plays different venue to venue too, same machine at my local pub feels tighter than the club version. Still my go-to when the bankroll's short. 🎰

Paulie's onto something with the venue thing. I've copped the same on Red Baron, the club copy near me has been kind all winter while the pub one up the road ate my A$50 in twenty minutes flat. No published figure for these old Aristocrats, each venue sets it within the state minimum, so you're basically playing two different machines under the same paintwork 😄 keep the bet small til the triplane turns up and it can still pay for the arvo. ah well, we grind on.
Is that actually true the machines can be set different per venue? Maybe I'm being dumb but that'd explain why my club one pays and the pub feels dead 😅
Yeah it's true mate, each state sets the floor and venues pick their own setting within that, so pub Red Baron vs club Red Baron can genuinely play like two different machines. Learned that the hard way after donating to the casino again at my local thinking the club luck would travel. Free Games still smacks though 🤣
Can confirm, my local club Red Baron pays like a dream till you bring a mate and it goes dead for both of us 😂 Tilt is my second home, apparently.
Came to hit, stayed to tilt 🍿
Newie, you're not dumb at all, that's exactly how it works. Each venue sets its own Red Baron somewhere within what the state allows, so the same cabinet can feel like a different machine across the road. I've been through this cycle before with other Aristocrat gear too, going right back to Queen of the Nile days, same box, different mood depending on which doors you walk through.
For what it's worth I reckon the Free Games with the multipliers still hits harder than half the flashier stuff they wheel in now. The old slots hit different, and Red Baron is one of the few that kept it. Turned a lazy A$20 into a decent arvo once at an RSL when the feature landed twice in a session, then went back the next week and it was a dead machine for two hours straight. Such is life 😄
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
Explains why my pub Red Baron felt flat last month while the club one paid. Two a spin same machine, different monster. Might stick to the club arvos now. 🔥
