Pokie machines

Known more frequently as slots to the outside world, pokie machines are some of the most common gambling games you will find, in both online and land-based casinos. But the online pokie industry has come a long way since the very first bell slots of the late nineteenth century.

Video pokies are all the rage now and they come in many shapes, sizes and genres. In order to maximise your gaming experience, you should know the various types and just what exactly each pokie can do for you. Here is a brief run-down of the many types of pokies that you can find online.

Video pokies are certainly the most common; these 5 reeled titles offer multiple paylines, and often come fully equipped with wild icons, scatter icons, and bonus rounds. The bonus rounds often take place on a second screen, and it is not uncommon for these video pokies to have odd wild symbols, such as expanding, stacked, sticky or scattered wilds.

Video pokie machines generally come in two formats. They are progressive jackpot slots and non-progressive jackpot slot. In the former, the jackpot is open ended and can continue to grow with every wager made, until it is won. In the latter, non-progressive jackpots are always fixed at the same value, and always will be.


Classic pokies are also known sometimes as fruit machines. These are simple three reeled games, which often only have a single payline running across the middle of the reels, sometimes maybe three or five, but certainly no more than that. The icons on these reels are often fruit, bars, bells and such. There is seldom a progressive jackpot, and there are often no special features of any kind.3D pokies are a new genre of pokie machine for the online gaming world. These titles are basically video pokies, although they have top notch, state of the art 3D animation and graphics running throughout, even on the icons themselves.

There are many other genre of pokies too, including avalanche pokies, poker machines and more. It is up to you to decide which one is best for you.
