FF96 · PROVIDER GUIDES
Big Red if you want the highest agreed RTP in the list, Buffalo if you want the biggest swings, 5 Dragons if you like choosing your own free games. ff96 casino carries nine Aristocrat slots, and this page matches each one to the kind of session you have in mind.
Pick by what you want from the session, not by the artwork. Each of these suggestions rests on one fact about the game, such as how it pays, its agreed RTP or the way its free games work.
If you still cannot decide, open two of them in demo mode back to back. Five minutes on Big Red and five on Buffalo shows the gap between a quiet line game and a high-volatility ways game better than any description.
The table sets out how each game pays, its volatility, max win and RTP, and the feature most players come for. A figure appears only where at least two independent review sites agree on it, so several cells send you to the game's info panel instead. No max win is published for any of these nine, and where RTP or volatility is missing, the info panel inside the game at ff96 shows it.

Game details: Aristocrat Gaming game list ↗
Six games have an agreed figure, from 94.71% for 50 Lions to 97.04% for Big Red. The other three have no agreed figure, which says nothing about whether they return more or less.
The easiest of the nine to read. Big Red has five pay lines on a 5×3 grid, so you can follow every win with your eye. The kangaroo is the wild, free spins are the main feature, and a gamble option is offered after a win if you want to risk it for more. Its 97.04% RTP tops the agreed figures in this list, which makes it a sensible opener for a short session.
A step up in activity from Big Red. Where's the Gold pays on 25 lines across five reels and is rated medium volatility, the only middle rating among the nine, while Buffalo is the only one rated high. Three or more dynamite scatters start the free spins. Its RTP is not agreed across review sites, so open the info panel before you set a real stake.
Pick this one if you like a say in the bonus. 5 Dragons pays on 243 ways on a 5×3 grid, and when the free games start you choose between more spins with smaller multipliers or fewer spins with bigger ones. Its agreed RTP is 95.17%. Try both kinds of choice in demo first and see which pace you prefer.
The nine games split into two camps, and the camp tells you more about how a game feels than its theme does.
Big Red uses 5 lines, Where's the Gold 25 and 50 Lions 50. Queen of the Nile and Geisha also use fixed pay lines. On a line game a win needs matching symbols along one of the set paths across the reels, so a symbol in the wrong row pays nothing. With five lines every win is easy to trace; with 50, more combinations can pay on one spin and the win display does the tracing for you.
5 Dragons, Choy Sun Doa and Dragon Emperor pay on 243 ways, which comes from three symbol positions on each of five reels (3×3×3×3×3). Buffalo pays on 1,024 ways, the same sum with four positions per reel. A ways game pays matching symbols on neighbouring reels wherever they land in each column, so there are no lines to learn. The game's paytable confirms which direction counts.
On either type the stake you set covers the whole spin. Check the total bet shown on screen rather than a per-line amount before you play for real.
Every one of the nine has a free-games or free-spins feature, but they reward different players.
Big Red and Geisha also offer a gamble feature after a win. It is optional, so skip it if you prefer to bank every result.
RTP, or return to player, is the share of all money staked that a game pays back over a very large number of spins. Studios such as Aristocrat supply a game with a set of RTP settings, and each casino picks the one it runs. That is why you can see two different numbers quoted for the same title online.
ff96 runs every Aristocrat game on its default setting, which is the highest one the studio supplies. The figure in the game's info panel at ff96 is the one that applies to your spins. Even then, RTP is a long-run average: it does not predict a single session, and a 97.04% game can still finish a short session well down.
Aristocrat is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as ASX:ALL and employs more than 7,400 people. Its products cover land-based casino games, hardware and systems, online real-money gaming, iLottery and free-to-play social casino games. It names three businesses: Aristocrat Gaming, whose game list includes all nine titles on this page; Aristocrat Interactive, a platform for the regulated online real-money industry; and Product Madness.
Type the full title when you search. A single word such as "Dragon" or "Gold" can bring up other games as well.
ff96 supports demo play, so any of the nine can open with practice credits before you deposit. Use the demo to answer one question per game: on Big Red, how often do the five lines pay; on Buffalo, how long do you wait for the free games; on 5 Dragons, which free-games choice suits you. Practice credits cannot be cashed out, and a strong demo run says nothing about the next real-money spin.
The minimum deposit at ff96 is AU$10 by PayID, and it lands instantly. eZeeWallet, Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available for deposits only.

ff96 runs in your phone's browser on iPhone and Android. All nine Aristocrat titles open there, and your account and balance stay the same across devices. Line games such as Big Red and 50 Lions are easy to follow in portrait; on the ways games, turning the phone sideways gives each reel more room.
After the nine Aristocrat titles, open the Novomatic guide for another set of reel games, or see how JILI and Pragmatic Play games play. Every studio is listed in the ff96 provider guide, and free pokies explains how to start demo play on more games.
