Pompeii at the local finally paid for my carton
Yelling loud enough that the whole pub hears it, that's the dream right there 😂 Pompeii is my go-to when I'm at the club, dead set love that game. The Reel Power thing makes it so hard to walk away, symbols landing anywhere on the adjacent reels keeps the little wins ticking over while you wait for the volcano to blow 🔥
And yeah people write it off as a dead machine way too quick, I've had nights on it where nothing moved for an hour then the free games stack up and suddenly you're laughing. Wheel Bonus spinning up anything decent is pure adrenaline ngl. Everyone reckons there's one published RTP but it's actually set per venue within the state minimum, so your local might play totally different to mine, which explains why some clubs feel dead on it and others print money. Ah well, lucky for me mine treats me alright 🍀
One slot, one love 🎰
Reel Power keeps the balance ticking while you wait, until the wheel hits and suddenly you're up big 😭 Well played walking to the pokies room rich.
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
Funny you call it a dead machine, I gave one at the club the same treatment for a couple of years before the Wheel Bonus finally looked my way. Funny part is I played it during breaks and had never heard the full thing pay off, whereas younger DiamondGG1999 blokes seem to run hot on it. Does the volcano back-to-back usually come when the machine looks ice cold? Ah well, we grind on.
Hah SamJackpot, glad I'm not the only one who gave a "dead" Pompeii years of abuse before it woke up 😂 My local one went quiet so long I reckon the publican forgot it existed. Volcano feature back to back then the wheel lands on the grand, mate I'd have woken up the whole pub too, possibly the whole street 🤣 The pub heard me for far less, like the time I deposited the last of it and got three scatters as a farewell.
One more spin, promise.
Bringing a slap to Pompeii for years and getting the back to back volcano is the dream turn 😂 Mine at the club near Hamilton went three sessions cold before the Wheel Bonus finally spun the free games properly and the whole corner leaned over to watch.
One thing I've noticed with these Aristocrat venue machines, the feel of them differs pub to pub even though the game plays the same, which stacks up since the house sets the return wherever it sits above the state minimum. So your dead machine might just be a stingy one at that venue. Booked my hit yesterday, walked when I was ahead, bankroll discipline wins more often than the volcano does 🎰
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
ChrisRTP that corner leaning over to watch is so real 😂 I get second hand nerves just from the noise of the wheel ticking round. Pompeii's the same for me at my local, slapped it for ages thinking same thing, dead machine, why do I bother. Then one Friday the free games stacked up and it just kept going, never yelled like that in me life. Weird bit is Reel Power keeps you alive the whole session, pays for symbols anywhere on them adjacent reels so the balance doesn't just fall off a cliff while you chase it. Volcano going back to back though, mate, that's the stuff of dreams... still chasing that one myself 🌋
SteveCobber that wheel ticking noise gets me every time too. Funny thing with Pompeii is the Reel Power setup, pays for symbols anywhere on adjacent reels so you'll get these little scatters of wins keeping you alive between features. My local one near the Esplanade, I'd written it off same as you, then walked past one arvo and someone had the free games going off and the whole tab area stopped. Since then I give it one short slap a visit just in case, never chase it. The grand on the Wheel Bonus is pure luck, the machine doesn't owe anyone anything no matter how long it's been quiet. Congrats on the carton getting paid though 😭🎰
Good on ya, but one machine waking up doesn't mean it wasn't dead, just means the variance finally landed. Reel Power keeps you breathing between features, that's about it.
Licence first, deposit after.

@Model_Sheet eh, fair enough, variance lands eventually I spose. Just asking though, how much did you feed that dead pokie before it landed? 😏
Model_Sheet has a point but my read is the venue setting matters too, RTP gets set per club so the same Pompeii can hit totally different two doors down. Mine at the Cairns pub runs cold for ages then the Wheel Bonus lands and suddenly I'm betting careful per spin to stretch the session. Back to back volcano features though, that's pure luck and I'd have yelled the roof off 🔥

@Wollongong_True wait, the pub can actually set the RTP different to the club next door? Total noob here 😅 that explains why my local Pompeii feels so much tighter than the one at Grand Central.

@Wollongong_True spot on mate, the venue setting thing is real, my local in Launceston has a Pompeii that hits way different to the one I tried in Hobart last trip. Weird how the Wheel Bonus always seems to land right when I'm about to tap out for the night 😄 $$$
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
Volcano back to back, that's the stuff dreams are made of 🔥🔥 I've had sessions on Pompeii where the Reel Power keeps me ticking over for ages then the Wheel Bonus just blows the roof off, whole club turning round to look. Dead machine? nah, she was just saving it for ya mate 😄

@ChrisSpins exactly that, Wheel Bonus on Pompeii is the best feeling at the club 🔥 cracked one for A$180 once, whole room looked over 😄
One slot, one love 🎰
That explains a lot, the Pompeii at my local near the river has been frozen for weeks 😅 does the venue ever print the RTP anywhere or is it hidden?

@Brizzie_True I've wondered that too 😅 pretty sure venues don't have to show the RTP anywhere, it's all in the game config the state regulator checks. Total noob here so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen a percentage on any pokie at my local either 🤔
