Online Pokies Guide

In Australian slot machines are called pokies. Slots were introduced into Australian Legue Clubs in the 60’s. The slang term for slot machines is one arm bandit. Coined when slots were mechanical and used a lever to spin the slot reels. When the term pokies came about is unclear. However in the 70’s the microprocessor was used in slots, buttons to changed bet sizes and spin the reels. It’s likely the term Pokies was adopted by Australian’s as one would poke the pokie machine button to play these games.

Casino Pokie Games
Every land based Australian pokie machine is set to a minimum RTP (return to player) of 87.1%. Online pokies average a RTP of 95.6%. Although you wont get your RTP returned for every $100 dropped, your chances of winning are greater when playing casino pokie games.  Return to Player percentage is calculated by the money dropped into a pokie, against the pokie machine payout over a given month.
