How do you pick your multipliers when the Choy Sun Doa feature hits?
Choy Sun Doa on a Friday slap at the club, couldn't agree more 🔥 Got the free games feature going last arvo myself and went 20 spins multi. Paid A$180, way better value than the 10 spins I usually chase 🤑 Same pokie plays totally different pub to pub too, reckon the club one's looser than my local. Anyone else find the higher multi worth the risk or am I just lucky? 🎰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
queen of the nile days we never got choices like this, so i still get a kick out of choy sun doa asking me to pick 😄
my two cents for the young fellas here: the 20 spins multi suits a smaller bankroll, you get more chances at the retrig and it smooths out the swings on a machine that sits around 5 out of 6 on the volatile side anyway. chasing the big multi with 10 spins is grand when it lands but you'll wear a lot of dead features first. and spin's right about venues. Rtp's set per venue within the state minimum, so the club down the road can genuinely play different to your local. worth a look before you commit the arvo's budget. ah well, we grind on.
I always second-guess myself at that choice screen 😅 went 30 spins once and hit nothing. Does the retrig only land on the higher spin options or any of them?
New here, soaking it up.
GrampsAllDay78, the retrig isn't tied to a particular spin count as far as I've seen - it's about landing the scattered choice again during the free games, whichever option you picked. My personal lean: at 5/6 volatility the low-spin/high-multi option pays the bills when it connects, but the higher spin counts give the feature more room to breathe before you're back feeding the reels. SamJackpot's right that it smooths the swings; I just treat the whole choice screen as picking your variance for the next few minutes, and each club's settings mean my "loose" machine is someone else's dead one 📊
Volatility > vibes.
Grinder's spot on, the retrig doesn't care which option you took, I've seen it land on the 30 spins pick as easy as the 10. Queen of the Nile days you just took what the machine gave you, so I still savour that choice screen 😄 one thing I've noticed at the club: the same pokie seems to cough up features differently to how my mate's pub one runs, and that venue-set RTP would be why.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Two Choy Sun Doa cabinets a suburb apart really can play like different pokies - FreoDad's onto something there, because the venue sets the RTP within the state minimum rather than one published figure. My caveat is sample size: at 5/6 volatility the swings will drown out any RTP difference unless you're logging thousands of spins, so one juicy feature at the club tells you nothing about the machine next town over. I keep a running note on my phone after each session at my local, which option I took, whether the retrig landed, how the multipliers behaved. And even a decent run of features in, the variance still laughs at any pattern I think I've found.
As for the choice screen, I reason through it in steps: more spins trades multiplier punch for more attempts at the retrig, fewer spins does the reverse. The expected value is still negative either way, so really you're picking your flavour of variance. The 20 spins option suits how I punt.
Do the EV, then spin.
FreoDad's point about two cabinets a suburb apart is dead right, I've watched the club's Choy Sun Doa go ice cold for weeks after someone had a decent hit on it, then warm up again like nothing happened. Same 243 ways, same Reel Power setup, just a different mood. And yeah, the choice screen still gets me every time; on Queen of the Nile we never got asked, so I'll happily keep second-guessing myself 😄

BonusVegas, machines don't have moods, with a 5/6 volatility rating your spin sample between visits is tiny, so cold stretches are just variance doing its thing.
@ReelMaster variance or not mate, my Choy Sun Doa nights at the club sure feel like moods 😅 know what you mean though, tiny sample. Still, that feature hits and all logic goes out the window, chasing multipliers is half the fun 🔥🎰
@MaxBetLifeEveryday "half the fun" is doing a lot of work there mate. Choy Sun Doa hands you three multi options and every one of them is priced so the house wins long-run anyway, the choice just feels like control. I'll pick low multi for the hit rate, but I'm not pretending it's a strategy. Post a screenshot of a feature night that actually paid and I'll soften.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

@ReelMaster fair point on the sample size, but those multi choices in the Choy Sun Doa feature still get me betting with the heart 🔥 took a small hit on it Thursday, cashed out what was left. 😭
@LeeBrekkie feel that mate, I always go middle multi and regret it instantly 😅 last club hit I went big and it paid, ah well, heart wins every time on Choy Sun Doa 🔥🎰
One slot, one love 🎰
ReelMaster's got a point, but my Choy Sun Doa at the club just plays mean some nights 😅 still my go-to slap, feature hits and it's all forgotten 🔥🎰 ah well
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Copped a brutal Choy Sun Doa session Thursday, dropped my whole A$100 arvo budget chasing the feature and never saw it. Walked away when the bankroll said so, which is the only reason I'm back playing it today at A$1 a spin. ReelMaster's right I reckon, variance explains it, though my club cabinet does feel cursed some nights 😭
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
The "moods" thing is exactly how they get you. Choy Sun Doa feature feels generous once every so often and the club floor is full of punters retelling that one hit from months back. Nobody posts the twenty dead Thursday sessions where A$100 vanished without the feature even showing.
I don't pick multis with any system, for what it's worth. Whatever's left after the chasing tax gets split and I take the middle option more often than not. The heart-bet stuff LeeBrekkie mentioned is just the machine doing its job on your brain.
And forgive my scepticism but whenever someone talks up a big night on it, I'd love withdrawal proof or it didn't happen. Club pokies pay in a cheque queue at the counter, so snap it.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
Picking multipliers in Choy Sun Doa isn't truly a strategic decision because, fundamentally, the base game structure means your expected value is already negative. You're just trying to modulate the variance of your inevitable loss.
RTP is a long-run number.
LuckyStreakHunter sums it up tbh, the multi pick just vibes 😅 I still smash the middle one every time on Choy Sun Doa and regret it too, heart over head 🎰🔥
One slot, one love 🎰
