The most popular gambling game that you can find in the online and live casino with the likes of Unibet is the slot machine. The popularity is demonstrated all over the world with different names given to the different types in each country. In the UK you have the Fruit Machine, in Japan you have Pachinko and in the land of down under you have Pokies.
Gambling is big business in Australia and the Pokies are one of the most common forms. According to The Economist, Australians typically lose £12.3 billion per annum through gambling, with the vast majority of that being poured into Pokies machines. Their per capita loss is the highest in the world.
The Pokies machines are generally five-reel machines and they come in many guises with differing rules on pay lines. The machines also offer the opportunity to play for multiple coins, as do the machines in the US and the UK. Most Pokies machines have a payback of between 80-90% and they are actually one of the more profitable casino games in Oz. In fact, the name Pokies comes from the fact that the machines started out as poker machines.
In the mid 1990s the world of the Pokies changed with the onset of Internet gambling. Australians no longer had to leave their homes because they could get a great gaming experience online. These games are known as Online Australian Pokies Machines. The variety of Pokies machines found online is overwhelming, but you wouldn’t expect anything else from one of the biggest gambling nations in the world.
