How to Spot a Good Online Pokie

  • Written by News Co

Online pokies are loved and enjoyed by many people. The reason is because they are simple and have lots of incredible bonus features. Unlike the traditional one-armed bandit games, modern pokies come with incredible features to enhance the gameplay. 

Moreover, these games can be played on all devices, including smartphones, tablets and personal computers. You can try out different titles at any leading Australian pokie site for a chance to enjoy big bonuses and other exciting features. 

Below are some of the features that a good online pokie should have.

Pokie Themes and Design

Online pokies have different types of themes and come in different designs. Moreover, online slot themes come in two different types - branded slots and themed slots. Many branded pokies games are inspired by successful franchises from popular TV shows. The best thing about branded pokie games is that they deliver an immersive gaming experience. Themed slot games are seasonal, and are named based on the season. 

Graphics and Animations

One of the reasons why online pokies attract many players is because they are built with stunning graphics. The latest pokies in the market have incorporated high definition visuals to enhance the gaming experience. Other than catchy graphics, online pokies feature seamless animation which makes them exciting to play.

Sound Effects

Apart from the theme and visuals, soundtracks play a very crucial role in online pokies. Games with soundtracks are loved because they create an immersive gaming atmosphere. The background of the game is often drawn from the theme or storyline.  

Bonus Features

Pokies with lucrative bonus features have many followers because they boost the chances of winning. There are different types of bonus features you can find in online pokies, including free spins, free bets, wild symbols, scatters, multipliers, bonus games, gamble features and many others.

Paylines

The number of paylines will vary from one online pokie to another. There are pokies that come with low numbers and others have a high number of lines. The higher the number of paylines the higher chances of winning. Thus, you should go for pokies with massive winlines. However, you should understand that not all pokies have diagonal lines. Some are designed with zigzag paylines.

Return to Player

The theoretical return to player shows what you will win in the long run when you play for real money. The best online slots are the ones that come with big RTP percentages (above 95%) as it shows you have big returns at the end.
