Playing pokies has become by far and away the most popular online pastime. And why shouldn't that be the case. After all playing pokies has always been a lot of fun and provides a lot of entertainment for not a lot of money with always a chance than the next spin of the wheel will win a big jackpot.
Pokies have been around now for more than a hundred years, most people who have been around a few years will no doubt remember the pretty primitive "fruit machines " as they were known sitting around in the corner of their local pub. Over the years the pokie got more and more sophisticated, and today some of the pokies you will find in a land casino are pretty sophisticated ands with potentially high pays outs.
However it was only went they went online did the casino software geniuses get a chance to take the trusted pokie into a whole new stratosphere.
So nowadays the online pokey lover has got it all going for them. Not only do they have an unbelievably wide choice of slot games to choose from, but also they get to play in the comfort and security of their own home when they want, whenever they want and dressed in whatever they feel most comfortable in.
Better still if a player does hit a big win on an online pokie, then only the lucky winner knows about it. Not like if you were playing in the local pub or casino. Ringing bells and sirens cause a lot of attention, which can sometimes be unwelcome.
Anyone who has won a big jackpot in a land casino will tell you how awkward it can be to carry their prize winnings home in ten pence coins.
Any winnings in an online casino are credited straight into the players account and can be withdrawn quietly and discreetly. So when the bells ring and the sirens blare, they are playing just for the lucky winner.
Players who like to play pokies online on a regular basis will tell you that their first goal is for entertainment and winning are a bonus. These players generally set themselves a limit for each pokie session they want to play and when that runs out so do them. However players who are established members at a land casino will have learned to ask for a match bonus before they make a deposit. That means that if they have set aside ten pounds to invest in that session, they contact the customer services department to ask for a " match bonus" That means for every pound they deposit the online casino has to match it, up to 100%.
Match bonuses mean more play time, but like everything there is a catch, but not a major one. Online casinos didn't get so big because they were stupid, and they will always insist that a player who has been given a bonus will play it a certain number of times, usually a minimum of thirty, before they can withdraw the money.
These are just a few of the things you will need to know to make your online pokie playing experience an enjoyable and profitable one. Have a great time!
