Do You Play Pokies? Here Are Some Tips

If you want to play online pokies, we don't blame you one bit. In fact, they are very easy to learn and easy to play. Not only that, they offer some great payouts if you get lucky. But it would be useful if you knew a few things first. We'd like to communicate some of that to you.

• Don't believe it when people tell you they have a "proven system" for beating pokies. These games operate online with the help of a random number generator, otherwise known as an RNG, which means there are no established patterns; no "systems" that can somehow manipulate the results, and no "long term advantage" in playing. Your objective in playing pokies should be to have fun and hope to get lucky, and to imply anything otherwise would be irresponsible.
  
  
• Understand what goes into making a wager on a pokie. This means that you realize that it is a multiple of the coin denomination you choose, times the number of coins you're playing, times the number of paylines you are going to enable on a pokie.
  
  
• Don't get out of control. Establish a certain limit on what you are going to be able to afford losing in any one session, and stick to it. This way you will be more organized, and your overall playing experience will be fun, rather than something that racks your nerves. When you start chasing after money you can't afford to lose, you become a "problem gambler."
  
  
• Select the pokie you want to play based on the kind of experience you want to have. If you like a simple game that does not have a lot of "bells and whistles" to keep up with, consider the "classic" machines that may have just one payline and bear a resemblance to the "one-armed bandits" of the past. If you are interested in a lot of winning opportunities and are willing to pay for the privilege, then you might want to look at a pokie that has a lot of paylines you can enable. If you like to play bonus games, you can find pokies that feature those things as well. And if your objective is to make the "big score," than maybe you should shop for progressive jackpot pokies, keeping in mind that you have to play the maximum number of coins to be eligible to win one of these very sizable jackpots.
  
  
• Leave the online casino (i.e., shut your computer down) with a smile on your face. That's the only thing that makes pokie play worth it!
