Aristocrat pokies at winstar96, sorted by theme
From Queen of the Nile's Egypt to the dragons of 5 Dragons, the outback of Big Red and the gold rush of Where's the Gold, here is how each Aristocrat theme plays at winstar96 casino, with its pay style, bonus round and agreed RTP where there is one.
Choose an Aristocrat pokie by its theme
Aristocrat's best-known pokies fall into four easy groups: ancient Egypt, Asian luck and dragons, wildlife and the outback, and the gold rush. winstar96 lists nine of them among 3,000+ casino games, and the theme is often the quickest way to choose. Under the artwork, though, two games with the same theme can play very differently, so each group below explains how its games pay and what their bonus rounds offer. To see only these titles in the lobby, set the provider filter to Aristocrat.
Egypt: Queen of the Nile
Queen of the Nile is the only Egyptian title in the group. It runs on a 5×3 grid with a fixed set of pay lines, so you are always betting on the same lines and the spin price never shifts. Scatter wins open the free games, and inside them the wilds carry multipliers on the lines they complete. Review sites agree on a 94.88% RTP. If you want a straightforward line game with one clear feature to wait for, start here.
Asia: dragons, fortune and a geisha
Four of the nine pokies share an Asian setting, and they make the most interesting comparison because three of them pay the same way. 5 Dragons, Choy Sun Doa and Dragon Emperor all use 243 ways on five reels. Geisha is the odd one out with fixed pay lines.
5 Dragons
The free-games round lets you pick the trade-off yourself: a long run of spins with small multipliers or a short run with big ones. Players who like steady action lean towards more spins; those who would rather wait for one strong hit go the other way. Its agreed RTP is 95.17%.
Choy Sun Doa
Gold ingot scatters bring up five free-games options to choose from, so you shape the bonus each time it lands. The RTP is not agreed across review sites, so check the info panel when the game loads.
Dragon Emperor
The same 243-ways layout on a 5×3 grid, with a free spins feature and no menu to pick from. At an agreed 95.19%, its RTP is the highest of the Asian four.
Geisha
Geisha keeps fixed lines on five reels. Land three or more scatters for 15 free spins with every win tripled. After a win you can also use the gamble feature or simply collect. The RTP is listed in the game's info panel.
Wildlife and the outback: Buffalo, Big Red and 50 Lions
These three share an animal theme and almost nothing else, which makes them a good illustration of why pay structure matters more than artwork.
Buffalo
Buffalo pays 1,024 ways across five reels, the most of any game here. Sunset wilds stand in for other symbols, scatters award 8 to 20 free games, and in that round each wild in a win adds a 2x or 3x multiplier. Review sites agree it is high volatility, with an RTP of 94.85%. Expect gaps between wins and bigger swings when they arrive.
Big Red
The outback title runs just five pay lines on a 5×3 grid. A kangaroo wild completes lines, free spins are the bonus, and the gamble feature appears after wins. Big Red's agreed RTP of 97.04% is the highest among all nine Aristocrat games covered here.
50 Lions
Fifty pay lines across five reels, so a single spin covers ten times as many paths as Big Red's five. The bonus is a free games feature, and the agreed RTP is 94.71%.
Gold rush: Where's the Gold
Where's the Gold is the gold-rush title and pays on 25 lines over five reels. Three or more dynamite scatters set off the free spins. Review sites agree on medium volatility, which puts it between the gentle pace of Big Red and the swings of Buffalo. Its RTP is shown in the game's info panel rather than in our table.
All nine Aristocrat pokies side by side
Once a theme has caught your eye, the table shows the practical details. RTP and volatility appear only where independent review sites agree; "Shown in game info" means the figure is in the game's own info panel. Aristocrat does not publish max wins for these nine, so the in-game paytable is the place to check top prizes.

Three theme picks worth a closer look
50 Lions
The most pay lines in this group at 50, with a free games bonus. It suits players who like plenty of lines in play on every spin, and its agreed RTP is 94.71%.
Geisha
Fixed lines, 15 free spins from three or more scatters and every win in the round tripled. No choices to make, so it is an easy feature to follow, with a gamble option on wins if you want it.
Beyond the theme: lines, ways and bonus choices
Line pokies, which here means Queen of the Nile, Big Red, Where's the Gold, 50 Lions and Geisha, pay only when symbols sit on one of the set paths across the reels. The line count runs from 5 on Big Red to 50 on 50 Lions. Ways pokies count any matching symbol on consecutive reels from the left, whatever row it sits in: 243 ways for 5 Dragons, Choy Sun Doa and Dragon Emperor, and 1,024 for Buffalo.
Bonus rounds split the same way. Two games ask you to decide: 5 Dragons with its spins-versus-multiplier choice and Choy Sun Doa with its five options. The rest hand you a set round, whether that is Geisha's 15 tripled spins, Buffalo's 8 to 20 games with multiplying wilds or the plain free spins in Dragon Emperor and Where's the Gold.

RTP settings at winstar96
Aristocrat gives casinos a choice of RTP settings for each online game, which explains why one pokie can show different figures on different sites. winstar96 uses each game's default setting, the highest one Aristocrat offers. Among the six games with an agreed figure, RTP runs from 94.71% (50 Lions) to 97.04% (Big Red). RTP is a long-run average across an enormous number of spins, so it will not predict a single session. The info panel confirms the figure for the game in front of you.
Practise first with demo play
winstar96 supports demo play, so you can test a theme before committing money to it. Try the 5 Dragons choice both ways, or compare how often Buffalo's free games turn up against Geisha's. Practice credits have no cash value and a lucky demo run does not carry over to real play.
