Last fall Aristocrat introduced its latest iteration, Lightning Dollar Link, which adds in the potential for double or triple payouts for the Mini, Minor and Major, opening up a whole new field of opportunities.
Is the Hold and Spin Bonus an RNG-Driven Bonus?

Players have often asked me if the Hold and Spin bonus is truly driven by the random number generator. I confirmed with members of the Aristocrat team last fall that they are indeed RNG-based, so when you hit that button does make a difference.
Even more of a surprise is when you get the Grand by hearing a “POP-POP”! Hitting the last two balls at once! It was very exciting! I’ve been curious if people have hit it with three left? I imagine on rare occasion that its happened. Enjoy your blog.
