Everybody knows that there are horses for courses, but not many people know that there are also different types of pokie machines to suit every kind of pokie lover.
There are pokies for players who want to take it easy, pre pay as many spins that they can afford and play away. Now and again they take a look at their play statistics and make a subtle change here and there, and hope that they might even come out with a profit at the end of it.
This type of pokie player is not really playing for entertainment and purely for profit. They are often prepared to lay out £100 to win two, and if they lose the same amount then that’s also fair enough. Many players compare it to playing the hedges on the stock market or on foreign exchanges. They can either win or lose but, one thing is for sure, they won’t have too much fun!
Pokies were invented and developed to provide entertainment and with the online versions that still remains the case. Online pokie play means playing when you want, how you want and as often as you can afford. A sensible pokie player will set aside a fixed sum of money that they are prepared to lose in that sensation. Before they make their first virtual spin, they should have been pushing their favourite online casino’s customer service department to ask for a bonus which should at least double their playing capital as well as the time they have to play.
Pokie players will be able to sit down to an enjoyable afternoon or evening’s entertainment and if they come out with a profit then that’s a bonus.
However there are areas of pokie playing where the thrill factor goes up as well as the odds. To begin with there are an ever-growing number of online pokies that have a combination of five winning numbers, where the prizes are always a lot higher? If a lucky poker player hits a three number winning combination, then they are given the chance of improving their position by holding the winning bet and re-betting to improve it with the remaining two symbols. Other machines allow players to improve payouts by “pressing” a winning combination through increasing the payout odds, which can reach as high as twenty to one.
While these kinds of side bets can create a lot of excitement for the pokie player, nothing matches the thrill of being involved in a progressive jackpot tournament. One the up side the prizes can be massively high, but on the down side there will be thousands of other players competing for the same prize.
So from fixed pay pokie fans or those who seek the thrills and spills of jackpot hunting, there is something for everyone online. That’s what online pokies are all about!
