Online pokies – we all want to have fun and strike lucky winning spins and sessions. Ultimately – we really want to hit jackpot wins and hear the virtual coins. As a result, many pokie players down the years have come up with a range of bizarre tips for apparently ensuring the machine pays out nicely – time and time again. Here are a few of classics – along with the truth about whether they can help you win playing online pokies…….
Feature patterns
Many online pokie players swear that you can win by looking out for the same patterns such as certain icons on the reels, bonus trail tends and certain sequences of pokie features occurring. Apparently, if you see one of these happening, don’t quit because they machine will payout on the next spin. However, this pokie myth is simply coincidence and there are no real patterns linked to winning spins.
Turning off the machine
You may have heard many stories about people switching off the pokie machine (or your PC) at the wall and ”re-setting’ it so it delivers a jackpot win. Once again, if this happens it’s just pure chance and your luck is 100% in!
‘Big win due’ logic
According to many pokie players the best time to hit the jackpot is to play when the machine is over-due to payout. However, while it seems logical that if a jackpot hasn’t been won for ages you have a better chance of winning big – the actual chance remains the same. You can just as easily win the jackpot after a big win! Either way online pokie wins can be worth millions – such as the latest big wins delivered by Microgaming pokie games.
Playing hot pokie machines
Here’s one online pokie machine tips that could potentially be a winner – keep spinning while the machine is ‘hot’. The law of probability means that at some point pokie machines will literally just get lucky and keep paying out winning combos throughout a session or high volume run of spins. If you’re winning then don’t go mad and boost your stakes, but do keep playing until the game appears to have gone cold. Of course, there’s always a chance that a pokie machine can ‘turn cold’ at any moment and also remember than mega money pokie jackpots have been won in the middle of a large run of losing spins.
Ultimately, striking big jackpot wins on online pokie machines is largely about pure luck – and you can find that using a range of crazy ways!
