Good eye, most punters never flick past the first screen. From memory Aristocrat ships those cabinets with both configs and the venue decides which way it's set up, so two clubs can run the same Heart Throb differently. Worth a squint at the paytable next time you're on, and remember the return is set per venue within the state minimum anyway, so the same machine can play tight in one pub and looser down the road.
RTP is a long-run number.

Seen the same thing on Heart Throb at my local and always assumed it was leftover from whatever config the tech loaded. Chris is right that venues pick, which also means the return can differ from one club to the next since there's no single published RTP, it's set per venue within the state minimum. So that cabinet that feels dead at one pub might pay kinder down the road.Always figured that screen was leftover from whatever config the tech loaded at install.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

Hang on, so the same Heart Throb cab could be tuned differently at my club vs the pub down the road? How do you even tell which way yours is set 😅

G'day mate, easy way to think of it. 25 Lines means you win on fixed lines across the reels, 243 Ways means any left-to-right reel combo pays no matter where it sits. Flick through the paytable screens on Heart Throb and it'll show which one is actually live on that machine. Once turned 50 into 5k on the free games when the ways config was running hot, ah well, we grind on 😉

Sam's got the right read on how to check it. And keep in mind the hit rate will feel different between the two configs even at the same venue setting, so compare sessions carefully. 📊
