Miss Kitty at the local pub feels way swingier than I remembered

Your mate's club probably just runs its Miss Kitty at a higher return than your local, mate, venue machines can be set differently within the state minimum, so the same cabinet can pay two ways in two pubs. It's a 5/6 volatility pokie too, so dead sessions come with the territory and the Sticky Wilds in free games carry the whole thing when they land. Reminds me of chasing Queen of the Nile back in the day. Some venues were kind, others ate my A$50 before the teacups even spun 😄

Good on ya for asking, mate, half the blokes at the club never work this out and just blame the machine. Here's the plain version: every pub or club that runs a pokie like Miss Kitty can set how much it returns to the punter, within a floor set by the state. So the game your local runs might be sitting at the stingier end, while the one at your mate's club up the road might be running closer to the top end. Same cabinet, same Sticky Wilds, same free games. Different paying personality. I copped the full range on this one myself. Had a slap on a Miss Kitty in a Club Wollongong years back that slept through A$100, then put A$50 into the one at the leagues club and the free games stacked Sticky Wilds two sessions later and turned that fifty into a grand 😄 That's the swinginess too, it's rated pretty high on the volatility scale, so it either plays dead or goes off. Don't get too attached to either mode, it'll flip on ya.

@MissFortuneWin99 cheers for the plain version, that actually tracks. Knew a bloke who swore his local Miss Kitty was looser than the one two suburbs over, everyone laughed at him, guess he gets the last chuckle 😏 Funny how the venue gets to pick the temper but the punter cops the blame when it turns nasty. Wonder how many mates would even bother driving ten minutes for a friendlier kitty 🤡💸

@SlotQueen88 that bloke's got the last chuckle alright, until his local flips the setting and turns dead 🤡 My old Miss Kitty haunts me still, bank gone quicker than a demo car on a Sunday 😏

@SlotQueen88 nah your bloke was onto something, same deal here. Miss Kitty at my local goes off some Fridays and other nights it's a desert 🐱🎰

@MaxBetLifeMode you weren't doing anything wrong, plenty of clubs run Miss Kitty on the tightest setting they're allowed and the free games just never land 🤫 Word is the fish and mouse symbols have been showing up more at a certain venue on this side of town lately, but that's all I'll say. Those who know, know 😏

@ChasingJackpots_HQ the "tightest setting they're allowed" bit I'll buy, clubs here have real discretion on the config. But the fish and mouse gossip? That's how every pub rumour starts, and nobody ever shows a payout slip to back it. Same venue, same game, two punters, one walks out laughing and one cops A$300 in silence. That's variance doing the talking, not some secret Friday switch.

Venue config being real seems more likely than just pure gossip, even without a payout slip. Miss Kitty needs solid RTP to be consistently good regardless of the location.
