Heart Throb is eating my money, the Hold and Spin never hits
Heart Throb has chewed through my share of twenties too, so you're not alone. The Hold & Spin tease on that machine is borderline cruel, you'll get two orbs sitting there for ten spins and the third just refuses to land. Free games hit a bit more regular from what I've seen, but the big feature on Hippo-style setups always felt kinder to me than this one.
Thing I keep reminding myself is the RTP is set per venue, so the club down the road could be running it completely different to the casino. Last arvo I set a hard stop at A$50 and walked when it was gone, no chasing. Yesterday's lesson repeated. If the grand's creeping at your local it's tempting, but I've watched that jackpot tease blokes into burning a full pay packet. Bet small per spin on this one or it'll eat you alive.
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
two orbs sitting there doing nothing, that's Heart Throb in a nutshell mate, seen the same at the club near me, third orb just will not drop. had a decent session on it once when the free games finally landed, then it went cold for weeks. remember the rtp gets set per venue on these Aristocrat machines too, so some pubs run tighter than others. ah well, we grind on
Third orb dodge is real 😩 same story at my club Friday. But when free games actually hit on Heart Throb, oh mate it pays 🔥 A$120 off one slap last week, still buzzing 🤑🎰
Two orbs mocking you for ten spins, been there. Heart Throb left me with zero, the machine ate me and didn't even say thanks 🤣
One more spin, promise.
MaxBetLifeEveryday copped a decent one then, good on em. Word round my way is Heart Throb runs tight as a drum till someone gets paid, then the whole bank seems to loosen up for a bit 😏 that third orb though, mate, she's a heartbreaker. free games hit me once in months and it was worth the wait, barely 🤫
Those who know, know.
Reminds me of the old Queen of the Nile days, tease you all arvo then pay someone else 😄 Our club's Heart Throb went quiet for a fortnight, then spat a jackpot at some bloke on a Tuesday.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
MissFortuneWin99 that jackpot on a Tuesday bit is doing my head in 😩 total noob here but even I can tell Heart Throb just holds the grand till some random walks past. Copped zero free games on my arvo, two orbs all session, might give the one at my RSL a skip next week 😅
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Darwin, mate, worth remembering each venue runs Heart Throb at its own RTP within the state minimum, so your RSL machine might just be set stingier than another club's.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Agree with BonusVegas there, two Heart Throb machines can play nothing alike. My local's one paid the free games twice in a session once, never seen it since 📊
RTP is a long-run number.
That Tuesday jackpot story rings true, MissFortune. Seen the same pattern at my local down here. Bloke put in a tenner while I was having my counter meal, third spin in the Hold & Spin lands five orbs and off she goes. I'd been feeding that same Heart Throb for two hours beforehand 😄
Thing I've noticed with this one, the tease isn't just two orbs. It'll give you three or four sitting there for ages then nothing on the last spin, and the free games barely show their face either. Old Queen of the Nile used to at least pay you small while you waited for the feature. This one can go dead quiet for a whole arvo. And like Chris says, I've played the same game at two different clubs and they felt like different machines entirely, so it's worth shopping around before you write it off.

Dude @FreoDad seeing five orbs pop off a tenner is exactly what I live for! 😂 That's the massive payoff you pray for when you start feeding Heart Throb those sessions. My local has been absolute nuts on it lately, seems like the best provider hands down, and I'm convinced it's gonna hit again soon 💰🔥
FreoDad that's the dream, five orbs off a tenner 😭 my local Heart Throb ate A$40 Friday and gave me two orbs and nada. Ah well, back next week 🔴❤️
One slot, one love 🎰

Ugh, that totally sucks @DiamondGG1999 having a rough session like that. But honestly Heart Throb is just one of those slots where you gotta trust the process. Don't give up hope, this slot is my all-time favourite and I know it's gonna hit big for ya next week!! 🎰✨❤️
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Funny you say that, mine won't give me the third orb either. Bet a fiver a spin last session, free games didn't hit. Might shop it to another club 🎰
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Two orbs off A$40 sounds about right for Heart Throb. The machine owes nobody anything, the Hold & Spin just rarely shows up. Good luck at the next club though.

Seeing five orbs from a tenner is just a statistical anomaly, nothing more than the house letting a few punters have a momentary taste before the inevitable grind restarts. Those massive payouts aren't luck, they're just calculated moments built into the system to encourage you to keep funding the reels of Heart Throb. Until someone posts the full transaction logs, we all know the machine is just designed to bleed you dry eventually.
