Aussie Pokies

Pokies is a slang word used in Australia given to slot machines. Slots also know as one arm bandits made their appearance in Australian clubs around the 1960's. Since this time pokies have been added to land based casinos throughout Australia, they've also been added to pubs in Victoria which run under either Tatts™ Pokies or Tabaret™ Pokies. Aussie Pokies or Aussie Pokie Machines have been the for running for multi-line slot machines world wide. In Australia, Aussie's were not too impressed with playing single line slot machines, so they introduced multi line pokies which also featured free spins and bonus round pokies. Originally these Aussie pokies were 9 line pokie machines. However as time has passed the push for bonus pokie machines with extra pay-lines have been introduced. There are aussie pokies that have 50 pay lines with free spins & bonus rounds. The most common Pokies found in clubs, pubs and land based casinos in Australia are the 20 line multi-line bonus Aussie Pokie Machines.

Online Slots versus Aussie Pokies

The big difference between playing pokies is that clubs, pubs and casinos in Australia have their pokie machines pay-out percentage set between 75% - 85% (at max that's a 25% house edge).

Online Slots percentage pay-outs are set on an average of a min 93% (that's only a 7% house edge).

In real life terms, how many times have you played the pokies and have only got a heap of little wins? Eventually your back to throwing more cash into the pokie machines. Sure all pokies are going to go through hot and cold pay-out periods. But, playing pokies that are set on a percentage pay-out of 75% is going to really stick it to you. Your chances of a fair pay-out run in grossly limited.

So you understand, let put this in layman's terms.

Just because you put $100 through your favourite pokie doesn't mean that your going to get between $75 - $85 dollars return for every $100 your drop. The overall percentage pay-out is set to return a given percentage over a set period of time. Have you ever wondered why pokie venues quickly get rid of those pokie machines that seem to always pay-out well? That's easy. The amount of money put through each pokie is subtracted against the wins its paid out. The pokie machines that get moved off the floor quickly were paying well over the 85% slots pay-out return.
