what on earth are Pokies ( slots)
Australian slots are also known as Pokies poker machines and of course slots.The aim of the game on the pokies is to come up with a winning combination. There are various types of slots in an Australian casino (or Club) and the traditional spinning reels type of game is the most popular, Keno Machines are also present in the casinos. The main poker machine is the "Multiline "game where you get the opportunity to win on a number of lines simultaneously and the winning lines are illuminated for you. Multiplier slots give you the opportunity to vary the amount you bet on each of your chosen lines (or ways).
Most of the pokies are a combination of the "Multiline and the Multiplier " which means you can play as many lines as you wish for as much or as little as you please. The operation of the pokies is simple, you insert your coins ($1 coins) these days, select the options you wish to play then press the Start/Spin button. The slots come in varying denominations, from 1 cent usually up to $2 so in theory if you were playing a 1 cent machine by one line it would cost you 1 cent per spin. When you have finished playing, you can cash out (if you have any cash left!) and the machine will pay you out either in cash or vouchers. Most Australian Casinos and Clubs have some of the slots designated "Progressive Jackpots " where the jackpot increases with each play usually on a linked basis where there could be any number of other slots all contributing to the jackpot.

slots myths
myths concerning the slot machines
We've all heard the hype about the casinos, use warm coins, this machine just paid off don't play it, that machine hasn't hit for awhile better play it. All these have one thing in common, they're FALSE. The random number generators inside the slot machines determine the outcome of the game the instant you press the spin button or pull the handle to play the game.Here's a few more myths that are completely 100% false.
Myth #1 - A slot machine that has received extended play with no significant payouts is "due" to hit. There is NO truth to this myth as outcomes are decided by a combination of randomness and probability factor.
Myth #2 - If the machine feels cold to the touch, cold coins/tokens should be used. Likewise, if the machine is warm to the touch, warmed up coins/tokens should be used. The temperature of the machine and/or coins has absolutely NO bearing on anything at all. In fact if you find some warm coins it's generally because the cooling fan on the sides of the machines aren't working properly.
Myth #3 - If a ,slot machine ,has just hit for the top jackpot, it isn't going to hit it again for a very, very long time. Randomness and probability factor decide when the machine "hits" again. Nothing more - nothing less.
Myth #4 - The casinos loosen and tighten the machines at will. While the casinos DO keep an eye on who wins/loses, they do NOT "tweak" the machines. Slot payouts are very tightly regulated. In most gaming jurisdictions when a casino wants to change the return of a machine there must be a gaming agent present and that gaming agent will use his laptop computer to verify that the chip coming out is what was supposed to be in there and the one going in is the one that is supposed to be going in. So as you can see it's much easier to get a dolly and move a good paying machine to another location.
Myth #5 - Slot machines are the worst bet you can make in a casino - All I can say is glance over to the keno machines, there you will find the worst bet in the casino, we're talking 30% to 35% hold on most keno games.
Myth #6 - Pull the handle you'll win - Doesn't matter if you pull the handle, push the button, plunk in the coins, use your elbow, stand on your head or anything else. If when you push the button/pull the handle the RNG selects a winning combination you'll win, if not you will not win.
