Play your Pokie Face
Debunking the Pokie myths that you never knew were myths…
Owing to the huge popularity of Pokie play, it’s understandable that many have tried to cash in on this magic, by developing their own strategies for play. Some ideas sound pretty plausible, such as the famous hot and cold spins theory. Others are clearly insane, such as the notion that talking to your machine stimulates the mechanics inside, causing payouts! So here’s a couple of this crazy notions sorted out once and for all!
Freezing the machines
Some enthusiasts suggest that by jamming the machines with too many coins, can trigger a build up of wins. This idea is the same as turning it on then off again and hoping to trigger a mighty win. Unfortunately for those who’ve packed their machines with all their loose coins, or pulled a muscle reaching behind their devices, these tips completely fabricated. The machine works by using random probability, not by how full it is or the electrical currents charging through it.
Pick a Pattern
Another popular idea is that if you hit upon a pattern swirling across the reels, you can predict where it will stop, then potentially wager on that moment and take home an almighty profit. However this small piece of information may convince you otherwise:
If a game has 40 symbols per reel there are 102,400,00 different winning combinations, because that’s the total of 40×40x40×40x40.
Therefore deciphering your own pattern from that job lot of numbers would be pretty impossible!
Buying Tips
Some plucky gamers are now taking offering gaming tips to the next level. Littering the market these days are all sorts of paraphernalia which clams to help you win at Pokies. It comes in many formats – CDs, books, even podcasts. All sorts of devices which claim to bring you Pokie luck.
Why aren’t these advisable?
>Pokies run on chance. And that’s it. No amount of trickery, talking to the machine, or whatever other kind of tomfoolery these people are peddling, will change a machines mind. They are programmed under strict guidance.
> If a player is finding themselves so obsessed with winning that they are willing to pay to ensure that a win happens, they are losing sight of what Pokie play is about. Pokies are about the fun of the games, the graphics, the thrills. Of course wins are desirable, or people wouldn’t wager if they didn’t wish to win. But if a fixation reaches these extents, it’s time to take a breather.
The best way to play Pokies is in a relaxed and controlled manner. Try not to get fixated on wins, try not to attempt to outwit and don’t buy into crazy get-rich quick schemes, the machine and you might just have a fantastic time!
