Online Pokie Player Tips

Playing online pokies comes down to common sense. It would be fool hardy playing maximum bets with only a bankroll of $100. The same goes for wagering on anything less that all pay-lines. Being conservative is not a bad thing, especially if you have a limited bankroll. When playing with a small bankroll you need to limit your bet sizes because this increases your chance  of obtaining either the free spins & or the bonus feature. It’s the free feature games that maximise your wins when playing pokie machines.

Both the free spins and bonus features, generally offer pay-line multipliers which is going to increase any win you have.
By playing the pokies conservatively and by not betting maximum bets on a $100 bankroll, you are increasing your play time and spins. Doing this will increase your chances of obtaining the free spins & or the bonus feature game.

Playing Pokies Online

Playing the pokies online the same common sense principles should be followed. All games have different average ratios to when the free spins and bonus feature games are triggered. However lets assume the pokie game your playing averages the free spins or bonus feature every 250 spins. Of course it can take many more spins to get the free spin feature. It can be hit in a lot fewer spins too. The main object you need to keep in mind in free spin games and those with bonus features will increase your wins. Sure obtaining these free games does not guarantee you of a huge win. But you stand a far better chance of increasing your wins by hitting these with online pokies.

When playing online pokies you will always have access to every pokie machine, at no time will you have to wait to play your favourite game. With that said it gives you the advantage of changing pokies. Although both online pokies and aussie land based pokies can pay-out at any given time, you can almost always tell if that game is playing cold. If that’s the case I recommend you change pokie machines. In fact by changing from one game to another and returning ten minutes later I’ve bagged some really nice wins.

Pokie Game Variance

Not too many people realise that each pokie machine is governed by what is known as game variance. A low variance online pokie will pay a lot of little to medium sized wins which will keep you playing longer. However your chances of obtaining a huge win are decreased. Whereas playing a high variance online pokie can go through many spins that do not produce or pay very little for each win. However a high variance pokie machine has the potential to pay-out some serious cash. Especially if that game is playing hot.

Break da Bank Again is classed as high vaiance online pokie. Take a look at the images in Pokie Wins in the left hand column. You will see a number of large pokie machine wins courtesy of Break da Bank Again. The largest win I have obtained from this online pokie is a massive $18,500US from a single spin. I hit the Wild and four blue emeralds. To place this game into perspective, If this hit in the free spin feature it would have paid out an a mind blowing $92,500US.

Withdraw Your Online Pokie Wins
Unlike playing at Australian land based casinos or your local pokie venue, online pokies use credits. So if your not mindful of this fact players can blow their pokie wins. To overcome this I set myself a target and withdraw periodically when I reach that winning target. If you have $100 to play with and you reach $300, then withdrawal $200. It is not a hard concept to learn but sometimes a hard act to follow. Maybe because people have a tendency to be greedy or they simply believe the pokie machine wont go cold. Keeping pokie play like this in mind, you should enjoy more online wins, more often.

Pokies a Game of Chance

If you have played pokie machines enough, you will have seen people that rub the screen and do all crazy sorts of things in the belief that this will influence the game outcome. Well sorry but that just wont happen. Online pokies use an RNG (Random Number Generator). This randomly picks the position of each reel symbol and either lines it up on a winning pay-line or it does not. There is no way to change this out come.
Like land based aussie pokies, when pushing the spin button the game outcome of that game is decided for the online pokie machine your playing. In actually fact the spinning reels, animated graphics, sounds and lights are just eye candy. But without them playing the pokies wouldn’t be any fun.

Responsible Online Gambling
