Statistics show that online pokie play is increasing daily the irresistible attraction of pokie is that it is both simple and enjoyable while offering the genuine chance of winning real money cash prizes that can go as high as life changing.
There is a bit of a myth around that there are a number of online casinos around who will do anything to avoid paying out their winners. While this may have been true around ten or fifteen years when online gaming was in its infancy, these days the online gaming industry have adopted a policy of self supervision, and any online casinos suspected of playing less than fair will find themselves reported to the various authorities and may find themselves suspended.
Also, as is the case with May internet "hot potatoes" there are now a number of online pokie player forums that can be easily accessed. These forums are very valuable for the online pokey lover because not only are they totally objective and impartial but they report on all that is good and bad online for the pokie player.
Online pokie rooms whose service is less than it should be or take a long time to make payouts as well as the majority of pokie rooms whose service is as it should be, hand out bonuses and organise progressive promotions also get fair mention.
These forums will also provide expert comments and updated reviews from experienced pokie players of all the recent introduced games, which can be a valuable tool for beginners or the less experienced.
What every player needs to know, and what every online casino is now obliged to advertise is their percentage pay out rate. Most online casinos advertise payout rates of 98% and any casino advertising more or less should be steered clear of. For those who don't understand how these odds are calculated, and are often audited, they don't imply that a player will win 98 bets out of a hundred, rather that the machine will pay out 98% of the bets placed on it during a set period, which can be an hour or a month. Its being there at the right time and not leaving the machine is the trick.
One of the many advantages of being an online pokey player is that it is possible to play a certain game in automatic mode. This means pre-depositing a certain sum of money and setting the machine to stop play if profits or losses go above or below a certain figure. Not many players use this option as it is a bit impersonal, and they prefer to be around when they are winning (or losing)
Something that has taken online pokey players into a whole new area of play is the progressive pokey jackpot. These jackpot promotions are organised either by a very large online casino or a group of small to medium ones linked to the same software,
As soon as the promotion begins, the online casino management set aside a very small part of each player's stake towards a jackpot. This money does not affect in any way normal payouts. As the sum accumulates players are kept informed. What they don't get told is when the target has been reached when the jackpot prize can be won, and which combination will win it. Imagine the excitement when a pokie player sitting at home wins a progressive jackpot with prizes running in the tens of thousands!
