Best online casinos

Pokies.com is one of the best online casinos in the world.

What would you want to see at an online casino? When we started Pokies.com, we wrote a long list of things that a casino needs to have to be considered one of the best in the world.

Here’s the things we came up with:

• No deposit bonus: Play at the casino with real money before depositing your own
• Loose slots: Nobody likes to play spin after spin without winning, that’s why our pokie games are the loosest on the net
• High payouts: Games with millions of dollars in jackpots
• Ample bonuses: $800 and free spins just to start with, then new bonuses every day of the year
• Mobile: Play with your tablet or phone on the go (or at home)
• No-hassle payouts: Cash out your winnings in a quick and easy manner

After we came up with the list we went and did all these things.

Mobile gambling tips

Your internet connection matters more than your device.

Pokies.com mobile games are made with HTML5-technology, which in practice means that they work on all modern mobile devices. So what kind of a phone or tablet you have, doesn’t make a huge difference.

What does matter though is having a good internet connection. With a poor internet connection you may notice choppy game play, like slot wheels spinning longer than they should. Don’t worry though, even if your device for some reason couldn’t show the result of your spin (for example because you lost your internet connection), the result is still tracked to your account – so you never miss the rewards of a winning spin.

For the smoothest gaming experience try to make sure you either have a 3G or 4G internet connection (or wifi). If you have a slower connection, try turning off the sounds of the game you’re playing. This often helps a lot and could save an otherwise unplayable game.

Another mobile gambling tip is that Microgaming’s games tend to be the pickiest when it comes to the internet connection. On the other hand the most lenient ones are Netent’s, so if you have a poor connection try playing one of Netent’s games: Starburst, Secretes of Atlantis, Gonzo’s Quest and so on.

What percentage do pokies pay out?

Australian pokies pay out around 90%. Online pokies pay on average 95% with the highest payouts being around 98%.

According to the Australian law the lowest a pokie machine can pay is 87%. Gaming companies like Aristocrat don’t usually go for the legal minimum though, so a typical pub pokie will pay a bit better with 90% being a rough average.

Online games pay better than normal games, because online gaming companies have smaller expenses and can thus offer better odds of winning for the players. The average payouts are around 95% with few games going higher than this.

One of the highest paying games you can play is Big Bad Wolf, with an average payout of 98%.

How do you win on a slot machine?

Use these three tips to win on slots: pick the right game, choose the right stakes and always play all pay lines. Unlike your mates might tell you, there is no way to tell a pokie game is going to pay. Also, you need luck. There is no way to beat a pokie without getting lucky. But read the tips and you have a better chance of beating the games.

Picking the right game is crucial, as different games have different payout percentages. Payout percentage tells you how much of money wagered is returned to players as winnings. Slots games with high payouts include Big Bad Wolf, Forsaken Kingdom and Gears of Fortune.

The right stakes may surprise you. Probability mathematics states that in a game where you don’t have an advantage (like slots), you should play with as high stakes as possible. However in real life this tip is best ignored, as playing with lower stakes means you can keep spinning the wheels for a longer time and thus have a better time.

Playing all pay lines is vital. Slot machines are designed so that they reach the maximum payout when all pay lines are played. Playing fewer pay lines leads to a smaller payout percentage and worse odds of winning. So adjust your wager per pay line so that you can always play all pay lines with each spin.

What are the best paying pokies?

Here are the top-10 best paying pokies found at this casino:

• Big Bad Wolf (98%)
• Gears of Fortune (98%)

Microgaming

Microgaming is the oldest and biggest online gambling game developer in the world. Microgaming’s slots are incredibly popular in Australia especially, where keen punters have enjoyed them since the late nineties. You’re welcome to use your $5 no deposit bonus to play spins on Microgaming’s slots and casino games.

Tip: play these Microgaming classics with your no deposit bonus
Thunderstruck 2: All-time classic with amazing graphics and music. Thunderstruck 2 sees you battle against Nordic gods. Defeat Loki, Odin and others and you’ll make your way to the vaunted Great Hall of Spins where riches await you.

Jungle Jim: Microgaming’s biggest hit of 2017. Jungle Jim is a Indiana Jones like character who looks for riches in abandoned temples. The game has no reels, instead this unique pokie has tiles that fall onto the screen. Hit a big win and the tiles explode away and are replaced by new tiles.

Mermaids Millions: This classic slot machine is almost fifteen years old, but its still among top-5 most played Microgaming slots. The secret to Mermaids Millions success is simplicity, the game is dead simple without any fancy features.

Netent

Every new Netent game is a big event. This is because Netent’s games are fantastic, players from all over the world love them. We highly recommend using your free $5 to play Netent slots.

Play these Netent games with your no deposit bonus
Starburst: The most played game of Pokies.com. This slot machine has just the right amount of features, not too few and not too many. It has sticky wilds, free rounds and that’s about it. This simplicity makes certain Starburst plays fast and that every spin is exciting.

Gonzo’s Quest: Biggest slot hit of the last decade. Gonzo’s Quest doesn’t have reels, instead it has tiles falling into the reels. Every time you win the winning tiles explode away and are replaced with new tiles. This can create an avalanche of wins, which sees your account filling with dollars.

Dracula: Nobody remembers the less-than-a-box-office-smash film Dracula is based on, but the slot game is a beloved classic with creepy, gothic graphics. The game’s ample payout percentage of 97% makes it one of the loosest online slots.

NextGen

NextGen Gaming’s slot machines are more popular in Australia than anywhere else. The reason for this is simple: the company is based in Sydney! No wonder Nextgen’s games capture a true Australian pokie feel like no others.

Foxin Wins is the most popular slot by NextGen. This cartoony game has a gambling feature, which is a rare find in online slots. It also has NextGen’s signature SuperBet feature, which allows you to boost the number of wilds on the reels. Overall a fun game where you can (if you’re lucky and cheeky enough) catch a leprechaun and shake him down for gold!

Thanks to NextGen’s Australian roots its no surprise that in addition to slots the company also creates online scratchies. Most of Pokies.com’s scratchies are done by NextGen in the company’s signature Aussie style.
