Online Pokie enthusiasts will be more than aware by now of how Pokie rules apply. They will know the fact from the fiction and be happily in-the-know with regards what makes a good Pokie game. However for every player that’s confident in how a Pokie machine works, there is a brand new player, completely unaware of how the reels work and likely to be convinced by many of the “phoney theories” out there.
Although to the accustomed player, the thought of being swayed by another players tips and tricks seems impossible, to a novice, they may be convinced that these just may bring them a win.
Players are often assured of the reliability of a so called “Pokie tip” because on the occasion they gave it a shot, they won, and were assured of its credibility for all following games. Well think on this…
Remember when the lottery first launched and people were convinced that to win they must pick “lucky” numbers, numbers such as birthdays of loved ones, anniversaries and favourite figures. Well however came up with this concept hooked a huge number of players. As the players chose their own numbers and didn’t leave it to fate, they will be convinced to play the same ticket each week, in the worry that if they don’t those numbers will come up! This works in the same as phoney Pokies tips, sticking with a tip or obsessive method of play because it once reaped benefits, could turn Pokie play into not-so pleasant play.
How to avoid the theories and love play
It’s ever so easy to get absorbed in theory trickery. Of course everyone would love a big win, that’s one of the main reasons Pokies are so unashamedly fun. Yet Pokies work in the same way as most online gaming outlets – chance. Here are a few tips that won’t guarantee a win, but will make your gaming more enjoyable and less likely to get out of hand.
> Devise yourself a budget. Decide what percentage of your funds you could happily spend on leisure, then decide what percentage of that allocation you could then use for Pokies.
> Stick to it! Good intentions are all very well, but if you set a budget then completely ignore it once you get into a game, all your careful planning has been for nothing. Keep your budgeting ambitions within reason. There’s no use allocating yourself a tiny portion of the pie, when you know your appetite is far greater than that!
> Don’t chase losses. Pursuing a Pokie game which has failed in terms of your expectations is a fruitless and dangerous activity. If you have suffered a Pokie loss, there’s no use in attempting to compensate yourself by gambling a higher amount. This could end with further losses and could start a cycle of unsuccessful play.
Keep Pokie play fun, frivolous and low risk –exactly what it’s intended to be!
