Winning At Pokies Online

Playing pokies on a slot machine in a pub, club, casino or online is very similar and quite simple. On a slot machine you have a coin chute or note acceptor. Once you insert the coin or note, you are ready to play. In online gambling, you place your bet through your credit card. Online gambling casinos give you the option of playing a few free rounds. But eventually, you start playing with real money.

On the lower portion of the screen, there are two rows of buttons, through which you interact with the machine. The top row has six buttons. The extreme left button in the first top row says Collect. By selecting this button, you can collect your money. The next five buttons relate to the number of credits you bet per line. Once you select any one of them, it remains selected till you press another button. The number of credits is 1, 5, 10, 20 and 25.

There are eight bottom row buttons. The first button says “Take Win/Reserve”. Pressing this button will stop your winning amount from being accumulated. Pressing it twice will reserve the machine for 3 minutes. This feature is available on pokies machines in pubs and clubs. The next five buttons relate to the number of lines per spin. Selecting any one of the buttons will activate spinning of the reels. Next is the “Gamble” button. Selecting this button will double your winning bet if you have just scored a winning reel. Pressing this button twice will reduce your gamble bet to half.

Once you are ready to play, you must select your bet per line from the top row of buttons. If you select any of the lower buttons, the reels will start spinning. Once you win, you can play a double up bonus. There are two types of double up that you can play. You can select a colour that is either red or black or you can select a suit. On the bottom row, the 1st button has a small red marker that indicates you can select the colour red. The 20th button has a black marker that allows you to select the colour black. Four buttons on the upper row allow you to select a suit. In most games, the 1st button is for hearts, the 5thbutton is for diamonds, the 20th button is for clubs and the 25th button is for spades. Picking red or black will double your winnings. Pick a suit and if you win, your winnings will be quadrupled.

The best way to learn online pokies is to play the few free rounds that most online casinos offer. There is a range of pokies games to select from, ranging from Queen of the Nile to Penguins play. Once you are comfortable with the version you want to play, you can start playing with real money. Do not play at an online casino that you do not feel comfortable with. Playing online pokies can be quite addictive as well as a lot of fun.

The player then tries to beat the dealer by getting a card with a value of 21 or closer than the dealer. The values of the cards from 2 through 10 have the same value as their face value. The face cards have a value of 10 while the aces can be either 1 or 11.

• Bingo
This game depends mostly on luck. The players are all given cards with numbers written on them. The cards have five columns and five rows. The aim of the player is to try and match the numbers called out by the caller to the numbers on their cards often in a straight line. The first one to get five numbers in a row and shouts Bingo wins. It is a very fun game to play.

• Baccarat
This is another popular casino game. The game is played using the standard 52 card deck. The player plays against the banker not other players. Bets are placed on the game’s outcome then once the cards are dealt, both the player and the banker aim to get cards with values as close to nine as possible. The game mostly depends on luck. All regular cards retain their face value but the face cards hold a zero value. The aces are all worth one point. If the player gets cards with a value above ten for example fifteen, this counts as five. The one with the value closest to nine wins.

• Wheel of Fortune
This game requires no skill at all to play and win. It is a game of chance. The player places the bet on the symbols in the game. There are usually six symbols that you can place your bet on. Then of course there is the wheel. It is divided into 52 parts of equal sizes and there is a pin on the edge of the wheel that indicates where the wheel once rotated stops at. You win if the wheel stops on a point representing the symbol you placed your bet on.

• Keno
This is a lottery game. The player gets a card with numbers on it and is supposed to select numbers on a numbered card. Usually these are twenty numbers. Once the numbers have been selected they are registered. The caller then calls out numbers of his own and the player tries to match the numbers they chose to the one’s being called out. The more numbers you are able to match the more you win.

• Pai Gow Poker

If both of the player’s hands are better than the dealer’s then the player wins if not the player loses. If the player wins one hand and the dealer wins the other then it’s a push.

 

Some History

Some confusion exists around the term. Some people call them slot machines, fruit machines, and even poker machines, which is actually incorrect because they are not meant to play poker with. We prefer to call them pokies.

Originally, these machines were operated by a lever on the side of the machine. Then came the addition of the button on the front panel, though most machines kept the lever, probably for aesthetic or even nostalgic reasons.

Pokie machines are usually the most popular game at any casino. This is probably due to the fact that there is no learning curve required to play these games, whereas most other gambling games require some knowledge and training.
