Is the Mustang Money pokie dead on most arvos?
I've only had a couple of slaps on Mustang Money at my local and yeah, the free games went quiet on me too 😬 Thought maybe I was doing something wrong. If the volatility is really 5 out of 6 I guess dead stretches are just part of it? Go easy on me, still new to reading these machines 🤔

RideTheVarianceGang, you're not doing anything wrong mate, that's just how the high volatility punt plays out. Reminds me of Queen of the Nile back in the day, you could feed a machine for an hour and get sweet nothing, then the feature would land and pay for the whole session. Mustang Money at 5 out of 6 volatility means those dead arvo stretches are baked into the deal, the free games is where the money lives and it can hide for ages before it shows.
My tip after years of pub machines: go in with a set amount you're happy to lose and treat the feature like a bonus if it turns up, not a promise. I turned 50 into 5k once on a hot machine and I've busted plenty since, greed pays nobody. If it feels dead at your local, sometimes it just is on the day. Walk, come back another arvo, the machines don't owe anyone a run 😄
Been grinding longer than some have played.
Same thing happened to me at the club on Tuesday, sat on Mustang Money for ages and the free games never even teased 😅 JackpotDreams_Loyal, quick dumb question, does a high volatility machine like this just sit cold for ages then all of a sudden fire up, or was I just on the wrong machine that arvo? Still learning cheers 🙏
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
No dumb question at all, mate. High volatility just means the machine swings harder, long quiet stretches with small or nothing pays, then the odd hit that's meant to carry the session. It sits cold a lot by design, that's the trade off for the punchier wins when they do land. Doesn't mean your machine was "wrong" either, it's all just down to where you happen to catch it in the cycle.
I've been through this cycle before on Mustang Money myself. Turned 50 into a few hundred once when the free games finally fired after what felt like an hour of feeding it nothing, and other arvos I've walked away from it after twenty minutes flat. The old slots hit different, but the patience game is the same. Give it a set budget, let the feature come to you, and don't chase it thinking a warm streak is due. Greed busts more punters than any cold machine does 😉

@JohnWollongong that's the right way to frame it. The one thing I'd add for SamManly is hit frequency vs volatility are separate dials, a high variance game can still pay small stuff reasonably often while starving you of anything decent. On a small spin sample you really can't tell the difference between a cold machine and a normal one, which is why three or four arvos at short sessions like ChasingJackpots suggested is the only honest test. 📊
I keep my own spin/hit spreadsheet 📊
Word on the floor was always that Mustang Money likes a quiet arvo crowd, those who know, know 😏 SamManly, don't judge it off one cold Tuesday sesh, some machines just don't tease till they're ready. Give it three or four goes and keep your session short.
Those who know, know.
Interesting timing on this thread, I had a spin session on Mustang Money last Friday at the pub and bet A$2 a spin, sat through a solid cold stretch then a free games hit landed and carried the whole sesh. ChasingJackpots_HQ is on the money with the short sessions advice, I cap mine at A$50 and walk either way. Few more arvos is the right call, these machines test your patience first 🔥🎰
