I did a test last night and went through some of the slots at the local pressing the information button... That was originally my impression as well, however was surprised to find most of them seemed to be between 90 - 92% with the odd 5c denomination machine coming in at 95%. There were a few 88% machines as well.
See I'm not finding that, I wanted to hope that was going to happen, but even with small wins every now and then, I'm still not doing any better online compared to land based... There's nothing keeping me playing online. Hence the trip to the local.
Is this a pub/club or casino? Pubs and clubs usually have the better RTP's as you will stay longer and buy more beer and food (tin foil hats people!!!).
The machines that have the highest RTP are usually those of a bigger denomination 5c-10c-$1 and you know why that is right? but the average in Australia used to be around the 88% mark.
By the way, I am a little out of the loop on land based slots as I play online 90% the time these days, but visited my local a few weeks ago and noticed that they have removed the linked jackpots (Wild Cash) and also drastically reduced some Jackpots like the Aristocrat Hyperlinked Cash Express Train and Jetsetter, this is in Victoria btw
I never thought to check and see if the RTP had remained the same or not, but this maybe a reason they are a bit higher than normal?
Back to the topic at hand, my favourite land based slots used to be Where's The Gold, King of Asia (Choy Son Doa), Wild Panda, 50 Lions, Wolf Run (love anything that has stacked symbols), Lucky 88.
The land based offerings from the designers of the RTG slots are also quite fun and contain 3 tier jackpots, I started playing these a far bit when visiting land based casinos, sorry I can't think of the names now but I do remember Dogboy (cm member) who worked for them.
