Wicked Winnings free games finally paid for my counter lunch
Good result on Wicked Winnings, free games covering the counter lunch is the dream arvo. I gave one a slap at the club last week and it was frozen solid, same machine can play totally different venue to venue since the RTP's set per pub within the state minimum, so worth remembering where yours has been treating you well. 🔥
Frozen solid at the club and I'd bet it wasn't your luck that day. Wicked Winnings runs on the venue-set RTP model, so one pub can run it near the state minimum and another sits a fair bit friendlier, and you can feel it in the feature frequency. I keep notes on which venues near me have been paying the free games regularly and which machines just eat the session, same cabinet, same Aristocrat classic, wildly different hold rate depending on where you plant yourself.
The other thing worth remembering: that venue setting matters more than any small session variance. On a tighter config the free games can go quiet for most of an arvo, and no amount of counter-lunch faith changes that EV. 📊 Good on you for getting paid though, the old Wicked Winnings free games round still hits nicely when it lands.
Volatility > vibes.
Grinder's got a point about the venue-set RTP, but how would any of us actually verify it? You can't exactly ask the barmaid what percentage Wicked Winnings is running at. That's the bit that gets me. Same cabinet, same game, and the club down the road could be running it tight while the pub near me pays freer, and nobody's obliged to tell you which is which. Believe it when the feature actually lands twice in a session.
Got my own take on the old WW machines: they feel like they either give you the free games early or milk you for an hour first. Could be confirmation bias, sure, but when the label says "no single published figure" you're basically guessing. Nice result covering the counter lunch though, I'd still want to see the withdrawal if it were an online session.
Can't verify it from the couch, but you can feel it over a session - I gave the club one a slap a while back and the free games just wouldn't land, then the pub near work pays a feature every second arvo. Same machine, dead obvious difference. My rule is simple: track your bankroll at each venue, and if the feature dries up, walk and take your A$ elsewhere. Reckon Servo's right though, no barmaid's telling you the figure 😎
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
@MaxWinLord exactly this 😂 my local one's ice cold, the one two towns over I hit the retrigger twice in one arvo… felt like a totally different machine 💀
@MaxWinLord spot on mate, you can absolutely feel it 🔥 my local Wicked Winnings is a desert but the one at the club on the coast paid me a retrigger run last month, never looked back 🤑🎰
One slot, one love 🎰

@Neon_Addict small samples, mate. A "feels hot" venue means nothing when the free games land randomly anyway. Fine if you had a nice arvo, but show me the cashout and I'll believe it.

@SteveCobber same experience here 😂 my local's been dead cold for months on Wicked Winnings, then the club near Central just hands out features like lollies 💀 retwice in one arvo is huge, retrigger pays go mental ngl. swear the venue settings are real, you can feel it within 20 mins of a session ah well 🎰🔥

@FruitWin mate I hear you on the maths, but my counter lunch came out of actual winnings last Friday, paid and pocketed 🤑 Retriggers on Wicked Winnings feel different at some venues, dunno why, they just do… maybe it's placement, maybe luck, ah well. Show me YOUR cashout then 😂🎰

Counter lunch off Wicked Winnings, big spender hey mate 😂 one parmy and a schooner on the house edge's coin and suddenly you're a winning punter. Fun arvo though, can't knock that. So where's the profit after Friday's session, or is the pocket actually your bank's? 😏💸
The house always wins.

@BankrollKing mate you're giving it the house-always-wins speech while posting on a pokies forum yourself 🤡 how's your bank looking after last arvo, flush or busted? 😏
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.
Ha, love it. A parmy and a schooner funded by the Wicked Winnings gods is a better arvo than most punters get out of a month of flogging away at it. BankrollKing, mate, you'd grumble if you won the lottery, the win was pocketed and it paid for lunch, that's a win in my book 😄
I've had a soft spot for that game since the old days, turned A$50 into A$500-odd once on a free games run that just kept retriggering, and yes it was a different venue to the one that usually busts me. Whether that's placement or pure luck, who knows. The maths says random, the heart says otherwise, and after enough years in front of these cabinets you learn to enjoy the heart's version. Ah well, we grind on.
Only been on the pokies a few months but a win that covers lunch is still a win in my book 😄 does Wicked Winnings retrigger often in the free games? Haven't hit the feature yet myself, still learning the ropes 🎰

@Darwin retriggers do land now and then but don't hold your breath mate, feature's elusive at first 😅 keep flogging it, one parmy-funded arvo and you'll be hooked 🎰🔥

@DiamondWin spot on mate, took me ages to land the feature first go too. When it retriggers though, wow 🔥🤑

@MaxBetLifeEveryday exactly mate, that retrigger buzz is unreal when it hits 😱 once had the feature chain twice in one arvo at the club and walked out with A$480, paid for my counter lunch AND the Saturday carton 🤑 spin247 can do the maths all he wants, this slot pays when it wants to 🔥
The hit is close, I can feel it.

@DiamondWin fair call on the retrigger frequency, worth adding for Darwin that the free games on this one are high variance territory. On a small spin sample you can go dozens of features without a single retrigger, then cop two in one session and wonder where they've been hiding. That's the nature of the beast with these Aristocrat-style games: the feature hit rate and the retrigger rate are both tuned low because the big wins come from stacking retriggers on top of each other.
@Darwin if you're learning, keep a simple note of how many spins between features. After a few hundred you'll get a proper feel for the variance rather than relying on vibes. One parmy-funded arvo is a good result, just remember the long-run EV is still negative, so treat a win like that as the pub's generosity, yours in reverse 😄
Do the EV, then spin.

@InRTPweTrustLoyal that variance pattern matches what I've seen on Wicked Winnings at my local. Weeks of nothing, then one session does the heavy lifting. Long-run it's still minus though. Club guy with the A$480?
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
A lunch covered by the feature, cute 😂 do the maths after six months of sessions and tell me where the profit is though 💸😏
Show me the withdrawal first 😏

@SpinToWin247 mate it's a pokie, no one's claiming it's an income 😂 Wicked Winnings paid me A$300 last Friday and that's all the maths I need, ah well 🎰🔥
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.

@VegasDivaBonus "That's all the maths I need" is exactly how the house wants you thinking, mate. A$300 last Friday, sure, what did Friday-to-Friday cost you across the other sessions? Nobody counts the feed-in nights because they don't screenshot those.
I'm not having a go at the win, Wicked Winnings does run hot when the feature chains. But one good arvo doesn't balance a ledger, and BigWin's got it right upthread: we only ever see the winning session posted. Post your total for the month, wins and losses both, and I'll take the "pays when it wants to" line a bit more seriously. Until then it's just a nice lunch story, and the club loves you for it.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
@VegasDivaBonus a A$300 Friday is a good Friday, no argument from me. My pedantic two cents though: Wicked Winnings is a high volatility game, so that A$300 lives on a long tail of feed-in nights, exactly what Royal_Chaser is poking at. I keep a running tally myself and the hit rate matters more than the RTP on that machine, and the hit rate on those free games is brutal. Enjoy the counter lunch, just don't let Friday write the whole story 📊
Do the EV, then spin.
Sold a bloke a car once who reckoned the trade-in "covered his deposit" 😂 same energy as this thread. Club guy, A$480 once and suddenly Wicked Winnings "pays when it wants to", yeah, it wanted to that arvo, where was it the other 40 sessions you didn't post about? 🤡 Nobody shares the Tuesday nights feeding twenties in hoping for the retrigger buzz. Just asking a simple question here: after the carton and the counter lunch, what's actually left in the wallet? The house always wins, mate 💸😏
A paper win won't feed you.
@BigWin_Mania382 maybe I'm being dumb here but isn't remembering the good Wicked Winnings sessions half the fun? 😅 I've only been on the pokies a few months and I definitely don't screenshot my losing nights either, oops. Still, fair point, the free games hitting on the lunch run probably felt bigger than it actually was 🎰

@MaxBetLifeMode not dumb at all mate, the good nights are half the fun 😄 hit A$380 on Wicked Winnings last month and I still bring it up, ah well.

@JohnBonus705 exactly mate, the good nights are what keep you coming back. Turned 50 into 5k on Wicked Winnings myself a few years back, still tells the story at the club 😄 funny thing is the old Queen of the Nile used to dripfeed you little wins, this one starves you then throws a party. Both worth remembering I reckon.
I remember the old slots first-hand.

@FreoDad nice story mate, but I'd want to see the withdrawal before it counts as 5k. And JackBonus has a point worth noting, you can't even compare the two properly when half these offshore apps get blocked by ACMA anyway. Pub machine starves you all arvo for that one hit, that's the whole design.

@RngGodGod fair point on the receipts, that's just good bankroll discipline. My Wicked Winnings sessions online are smaller stakes anyway, A$0.60 a spin and I cash the moment the free games pay and wagering's cleared, no second-guessing. Pub one? I set a hard A$50 loss limit before I touch it, she starves you alright 😭
Cashing out in time is half the battle.
Ha, VegasDiva has the right attitude IMO 😂 who cares what it cost Friday-to-Friday, Wicked Winnings free games hitting when your lambos, sorry, your counter lunch is on the line is what pokies are FOR. Royal_Chaser mate I do count the feed-in nights, I just choose to forget them 🤷 hit the retrigger on WW at the club a few weeks back and I was up A$200, best arvo ngl 🤑🔥🎰
Backing my slot to the last spin.

@PaulSlots13 the lunch is funded either way mate, question is whether Friday you is paying for Friday a year from now 😅 I keep the bet per spin flat on Wicked Winnings and walk when the free games don't land by a set loss, saved me plenty of feed-in Fridays. Nothing wrong with a funded counter lunch though, banked a 500x on it once and cashed before the machine got its revenge 🔥
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
MaxBetLifeMode, nobody remembers the losing nights because there's nothing to remember, just money gone. Wicked Winnings high volatility means most Fridays are feed-in Fridays and the A$300 lunch story is the exception the pub wants you to chase. I'd love to see a full month ledger from anyone in here. Believe it when you cash out, and even then show the screenshot.

Only played Wicked Winnings on the pub machine near me, seems exactly like FreoDad says. Starves you for ages then boom 😅 does the online version pay the same?
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
