Pompeii by Aristocrat at the pub
Funny, I reckon the exact opposite on Pompeii. The free games have been way kinder to me than the wheel ever has, but that volcano respin still gets the heart going every single time, no shame in it 😅
Had a slap on one at the local last Friday and the Wheel Bonus spun up for next to nothing while the free games paid for my night. Mind you I've had the same machine play completely different at the club compared to when I've seen it in the city, so maybe your wheel really does love your venue more 🎰🔥
Back in the day I turned 50 into 5k on the old Pompeii cabinet at a club up here, and I swear it was the free games that did it, not the wheel. Wheel's spun me duds more times than I can count. The volcano respin though, that little heart-stopper gets me every time, even after all these years 😄
Funny thing about these venue machines, same cabinet can play totally different club to casino since the venue sets the return within the state minimum. So if your local one feels tight some nights, might be exactly that. My rule with Pompeii has always been the old-school grind, pocket anything the free games give you and never chase the wheel. Greed empties pockets quicker than a bad spinner. 😉
Been grinding longer than some have played.
Funny how the wheel treats everyone differently, because my notebook from the club says the same as JackpotDreams, free games carry the session and the Wheel Bonus is usually small change. Worth remembering the RTP on these venue machines is set per venue within the state minimum, so the one at your pub and the one at the casino can genuinely be tuned differently. Explains why my Pompeii hits feel completely different depending which cabinet I slap.
Do the EV, then spin.
I had a session at the pub last week and felt the Free Games kept things ticking along well. Is it possible the Wheel Bonus is just meant to give small amounts compared to the Free Games?
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Just stoked on how good Pompeii is anyway. The Aristocrat folks totally cooked up a ripper of a venue machine! 🌋🎰🤑
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
