You may not know that you are not eligible for certain jackpots unless you play a certain amount of coins. But with a little bit of knowhow you will be a master in no time!

Force a Win with Features

Remember that pokies are primarily a game of chance, payouts are random and there is not much that can be done to influence your game. Features are one of the only ways a player can have control over a win, so learn all there is to know about hold and nudge buttons and winning will be easy.

Hold:

If you see certain icons more often than other icons then you should concentrate and use the hold button. The hold button is used to freeze one or more of these icons, this could get you a winning combination and payout. But beware, holds can cause a win but also cost you one, so only hold if you think it’s a good idea.

Here is an example to help:

Reel 1: Cherry 10 Coin

Reel 2: 888

The icons with the greatest value are the 888’s. Holding down this icon will give you a bigger payout but could also be risky. Cherries are worth less but the risk is lower. Payouts for cherries can be average though. So depending on the risk level you want to play at or the payout you desire you choose which icon to hold.

Nudge:

You can gently nudge reels and icons into place and so increase your chances of winning. But if you nudge at the wrong time, you chances of winning could be drastically diminished. Play wisely and always think before you nudge.

Second Screen Bonus:

Take control of a character and enjoy the incredible graphics and sound effects that come with it. Added to this you can win big by utilising this feature and making decisions based on different options. You can reap incredible awards, so take advantage of these features and enjoy the game!
