Indian Dreaming at the local pub still pulling in a crowd in 2024
Nah mate, Indian Dreaming is 25 years old and still packs the bank at my club on Fridays, that tells you something 🔥 old Aristocrat machine but the Reel Power 243 ways keeps the hits ticking over and when the free games land properly it's magic. Sure some venues run it tighter than others since every pub sets its own RTP, maybe yours is a dead one ah well. Give it another slap somewhere else before writing it off 💰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Fridays at your club, eh, I reckon mine must run a tighter setup then 😄 had a slap on Indian Dreaming last arvo and the free games gave me sweet nothing. Old 1999 machine still has its charm, Reel Power and the 243 ways keep the small hits coming, but each venue sets the return wherever the state minimum lets them, so your magic Friday might just be a looser box than mine. Ah well, we grind on.
SamJackpot, your experience tracks with mine, and here's the pedantic bit: there's no single published RTP for Indian Dreaming because each venue sets it within the state minimum, so the machine at your pub could genuinely be tighter than the one at MaxBet's club. Same cabinet, different generosity. And on a small spin sample, one dead feature session tells you almost nothing, though I've had plenty of them on it myself 📊
RTP is a long-run number.
That RTP point actually blew my mind a bit 😅 so the same machine can play tighter at my local? Explains a lot about my free games lol. Cheers, that helps 👍
New here, soaking it up.
Wait, so my local might just have a tight one? 😅 I had a slap on Indian Dreaming Thursday and the free games paid next to nothing. Maybe I'm being dumb but that'd explain it, cheers 🙏
Fancy that, two newbies in the same thread having the same quiet free games, that's a pattern worth chewing on 😄 With a 1999 cabinet like Indian Dreaming the venues have had decades to tune them how they like, so the one at my club on Anzac Rd pays sweet while a mate of mine swears the pub version three suburbs over is a dead machine. Reel Power gives it 243 ways but the free games feature has always run hot and cold since the old days.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Same thing happened to me, free games paid about A$8 off a decent base hit 😬 Maybe I need to try a different pub's cabinet and compare? 🤔
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
A$8 off the feature, ouch, I've copped worse from a dead machine 😄 Went on the Indian Dreaming at my old club a couple years back, free games barely sneezed, then the same cabinet at a different venue was hitting away like it was 1999 all over again. Brizzie's right, worth doing a lap of the other pubs and comparing before you write the old girl off.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
A$8 off the feature, ouch 😬 I'm still learning this stuff but it makes sense each venue tunes their own, since Aristocrat lets them set the RTP within whatever the state minimum is. The Indian Dreaming near my place in Townsville has felt tight for ages, maybe worth trying a club one instead of a pub cabinet? 🤔

Ha, that A$8 feature reminds me of the night I fed a fifty into Indian Dreaming and got the free games twice, both sneezes, and still went back the next Friday like a mug 😄 The cabinet's been there since '99 and the club knows exactly which punters feed it, so it plays tighter some weeks than others I swear. Try the one near the bistro, mine seems to tick over better when the room's busy.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Nah you're all mad, Indian Dreaming is my all-time favourite down at the club 🔥 Yeah the free games can cough up A$8 one night then this one Friday on Melbourne Cup arvo it stacked the WILD and paid me the grand off the feature, SCREAMED 🤑 Two machines from '99 playing different, that's the venue setup for you, so Brizzie try another pub and tell me the cabinet ain't different 😄

@ChrisSpins a grand off the feature on Melbourne Cup arvo, that's the dream 🤑 My best on Indian Dreaming was a stacked wild too but nowhere near that, still screamed tho 🔥
Backing my slot to the last spin.

@Lee_Brekkie stacked wilds on Indian Dreaming get the heart going even when the pays average, deadset 🤑 I've had nights at the local where she teases you all arvo then finally stacks one and the whole bank of machines goes quiet watching. Still my all-time favourite for that reason, no other pokie hits like that feeling 🔥
One slot, one love 🎰

@Neon_Addict the whole bank going quiet is the club doing its job, that machine has been taking A$20 off blokes since before we could legally walk in there. Indian Dreaming teases all arvo because that's how the maths is written, the "she's due" feeling is the trap. If those stacked wilds actually paid regularly someone would have screenshotted a week of them by now, and nobody ever has.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

@ChrisSpins a grand off the feature is a good story, but it's also one afternoon out of how many arvos feeding that machine A$20 notes? Everyone remembers the Melbourne Cup hit, nobody posts the A$8 free game nights, which you pretty much admitted yourself.
And "two machines from '99 playing different" is just short-term variance, mate. Same maths underneath, one just happened to be on the right side of it that Friday. Old Aristocrat pokies like Indian Dreaming run cold for hours precisely because the paytable is thin outside the feature. Happy for you, genuinely, but I'll believe a machine is "hot" when someone shows a session ledger, not a screenshot of the win screen.

@DaveWins spot on, survivorship bias is the whole engine of that thread. A grand story gets three pages of replies, the bloke who dropped a hundred on Indian Dreaming for a dozen free games stays quiet. I only believe the wins that come with a cashout screenshot and a session history.

@ChrisCobber fair dinkum on the cashout screenshot rule, I run my punting the same way. Only counter I'd offer is the pub Indian Dreaming sessions are cheap theatre, A$20 in, walk when the free games don't pay and it costs you less than a bad multi. My best nights on her came from cashing the moment a stacked feature landed instead of chasing it again. 😭🎰
