Millions of people worldwide enjoy playing pokies, and online casinos
offer various games with varied genres, storylines and themes.
As we all lead busy lives, anything convenient is usually welcomed,
including how we source our entertainment. Online gaming has become
increasingly popular, and online casinos have thrived. If you are
considering playing at online casinos, specifically online pokies, read
below to become acquainted with the various games and find
some useful
tips on which pokies game suits your style the best.
Classic Pokies (or Three-Reel Pokies)
Classic pokies are considered the simplest type of online pokies.
Traditionally known as one-armed bandits due to the lever used in
physical machines to spin the reels, they were a crucial player in the
rise of Las Vegas.
Classic pokies are perfect for first-time pokies players as they are
easy to learn and play. You will win a designated jackpot when three
similar symbols are landed on the reels. Although these games are easy
to learn and play, one of the significant drawbacks of classic pokies is
the low number of reels, which reduces the possible number of winning
combinations.
Five Reel Pokies (or Video Pokies)
You will probably come across five-reel pokies as they are the most
widely used today. Unlike the classic pokies games, five-reel pokies
machines are digital, so they do not have mechanical levers or reels. To
operate the machines, you simply press a button.
Five-reel pokies have great graphics and sound to accompany the game and
are the forerunner of modern-day online pokies.
As an advancement of the classic pokies machine, they have more
paylines, increasing your odds of winning. Games also last longer and
typically have a higher jackpot on offer. Five-reel pokies will also
have special features, such as bet multipliers which adds to the
excitement of playing.
Six And Seven-Reel Pokies
These pokies machines challenged the norm of traditional reels, although
they follow the same grid structure as the five-reel pokies (6x3 and 7x3
setups).
What is different with six and seven-reel pokies machines is that
players can enjoy longer single sessions as there are more reels. Games
can become very exciting if you combine a six or seven-reel slot with
the special features of a five-reel slot (wilds, scatters, multipliers
or re-spins).
Progressive Pokies
Although it is difficult to hit the big jackpot when playing progressive
pokies, some lucky players have won life-changing amounts of cash.
Progressive pokies do not have a fixed jackpot. Instead, a small
percentage of each bet goes towards the jackpot. Considering that
thousands of players could be playing the game worldwide simultaneously,
you can see how the pot can increase.
Online progressive pokies machines are usually linked to a network,
which means they all contribute to a single progressive jackpot. Once
the prize has been won, the pot will revert to a seed amount (usually in
the thousands). Although the chances of winning are remote, they are
still better than winning a national lottery, and the games are
thrilling to play with such big jackpot prizes up for grabs.
Interactive Pokies
With multi-pay lines and multi-reels, interactive slots have a different
format from most other online pokies.
Interactive pokies enable players to create their expanding storyline by
allowing the spinning of different reel combinations or participating in
a game-advancing adventure via the reels.
Online interactive pokies contain bonus stages where you can play in a
mini-game that provides a way to increase your winning further.
Virtual Reality (VR) Pokies
Today there are many VR betting experiences supplied by Oculus Rift,
Razer, OSVR, Sony PlayStation, Samsung Gear VR and other suppliers.
When playing VR pokies, you can expect to be immersed in the virtual
environment and have a realistic experience that mirrors what you would
find on a physical casino floor.
Remember, in the end, it is all down to personal choice, so the next
time you contemplate playing an online poker game, think about the
different types to choose from and which would suit your personality and
style the best.
