Is 50 Lions worth a slap anymore or am I just feeding the lion?
Seems like the free games feature on 50 Lions has definitely lost some of its punch lately, especially when you’re checking the numbers at the club. You know how it is with Aristocrat venue machines; even though they run the same 50 paylines, the actual payout potential feels a bit inconsistent because each pub sets the parameters for their session. If the feature is hitting infrequently, you've got to decide if the overall volatility still justifies the time on the machines.
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Seems like you've been having a rough trot at the club recently. i remember when 50 Lions really started rolling, back when the old slots hit different and you could walk away with a decent chunk without feeling like you'd busted more banks than you'd deposited. those free games often feel like they're on a whim rather than a schedule, don't they? you've got to figure out where the local venue has tweaked the settings because every pub runs that Aristocrat pokie a little differently.
ah well, we grind on.
Mate I had the same feeling last Friday, sat on 50 Lions for a good hour and never smelt the free games once 😤 my club's copy just feels dead lately. Heard a bloke up the road swear his local pays way looser on it though, and with Aristocrat letting each venue set the RTP inside the state minimum that tracks... maybe we're just slapping the stingy lion 🦁🎰
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
That explains a lot actually, I had no idea venues could set their own RTP on these 😳 so my club's 50 Lions might just be tuned tighter than someone else's? Tried it Thursday and got the free games once in maybe half an hour, felt like pulling teeth. So there's no way to even tell if a machine is set decent before you have a slap? Still learning all this 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Funny you lot mention the club copy feeling dead. I've had the same thought about my local, then played 50 Lions out at a mate's club across town and the free games turned up twice in one session. Same machine, different paytable setting, so BrizzieTrue you're on the money. Worth a walk before you write it off 😉
That settings thing sounds real mad. I sat on 50 Lions last week at the local and the Free Games barely popped up for me.
Asking dumb bonus questions, that's the job.
Sounds like my local's 50 Lions too, ScatterAddict. Bit of a shock learning the venue sets its own RTP within the state minimum, so your club's copy could be tightened right up while another across town pays proper. My fix is simple, flat small bet per spin, give it 20 minutes, no feature by then I'm off to something else. Bankroll discipline beats feeding the lion 🔥
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
