How To Get $10 Million Heart of Vegas Free Coins Every Day!

For those of you who haven’t yet heard about Heart of Vegas Slots – the social casino/Facebook App that so far provides over 10 million active players with access to over 60 amazing titles from Aristocrat Leisure, the makers of Australia’s favourite pokies …. then ummm, yeah. How’s life under your rock?

you must be living under a rock to not have heard of heart of vegas slots — Not Heard of Heart of Vegas Slots? So ummm, this your house then yeah?

Seriously though, if you enjoy even an occasional punt on the pokies then you will be well versed with Aristocrat Gaming and the plethora of award winning pokie games they produce. (Learn more about Aristocrat and what Len Ainsworth attributes their success to at this link here) Furthermore, you’ll probably have a few favourites of your own – and I’ll bet one of them is either 5 Dragons, Big Red or Queen of the Nile 😉

Unless you’re a bit slow on the uptake (or you genuinely do live under a rock and it’s taking a while to roll the damn boulder back into place) you will have put two and two together and realised that with Heart of Vegas Slots App you can play Aristocrat Pokies Totally Free – but like most of the free things in life there’s a catch… or in this case a credit basket with a hole in it…

Welcome to Heart of Vegas Slots – Have Some Free Coins

When you first log in to Heart of Vegas it generally requires that you connect via your Facebook account – a completely normal and acceptable process in this social gaming and interconnected world we live in – and as part of this connect you are given 2 million Free coins – or HoV Credits as I like to call them (they are not coins or real money after all) and if you are like myself or any of the other millions of players out there you will excitedly spend the lot of your 2 million free credits within an hour or so – leaving you staring at your iPad and wondering why on earth the bets are as high as $1,000,000 a press?!?! – no really?! – check out our Heart of Vegas Slots Review where we rant a bit about this (among many other things LOL) – because trust me, you’ll be so stoked with the fact you can finally play your favourite Aristocrat Pokies from the comfort of your home or the bus home from work that you’ll spend the lot before you realise you were even getting low in the first place. And then you’ll be like …. well like Chris Rock below 😀

you all got any more heart of vegas free coins — Spend your free coins and soon enough you too will get the itch

Luckily though the free coins and daily credits just keep on coming…. slightly anyway.

Welcome Back to Heart of Vegas – Have Some More Free Coins

Not only do you get to enjoy 2 million free coins from Heart of Vegas to play the many awesome titles from Aristocrat Pokies, the daily wheel provides you the chance to spin up to 250,000 Hov Credits – and this is on top of up to 60,000 extra credits just for having friends and coming back repeatedly! It seems the guys at Aristocrat and Heart of Vegas are looking after the free social casino crowd… at least that’s the impression they want you to get.

The True Value of Heart of Vegas Coins

The key to any good magic trick is misdirection. Create your illusion and then remember to keep your audience focused on that which is not important and you can get away with murder – well sort of anyway. And this is exactly what Aristocrat have done with the Heart Of Vegas Slots app – created the illusion of wealth while using free coins and daily bonus wheels to keep us distracted from the fact that the value of the ‘credits’ we deal with in this virtual social casino world are arbitrary at best.

While we’ve all been living in the same world (generally speaking) and applying the same values to things, the people over in the social casino world are dramatically shifting what that implied value is – and in so doing are creating a false sense of hope and a detachment from reality that can actually reinforce real money gambling in many players. Wait what?!?

Yeah WTF Dude?! – OK seems I have spent too long looking at stats, facts and figures because my world has been reduced to mere proportionate numbers, relative metrics and other confusing shit I haven’t thought about since high school!

Basically the problem (as we alluded to in our initial rant and the official Heart of Vegas Slots Review <– Follow that link people) is that the amount you gamble for each press of the button is … well it’s ridiculous quite frankly.

Would you ever bet $2500 for every press of the pokie if you were playing for real cash? Hell no, and no-one in their right mind would either. Well that staggeringly huge amount of money is the LEAST AMOUNT YOU CAN BET – with the highest amounts in the Hi-Roller room being in excess of $50,000,000 a press – yes you read that right, that’s FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS!

*Imagine how many sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads that would buy!

50 Million dollars?!?! Well shit, we’d better figure out a way to get more than a 1 or 200,000 free HoV credits each day then hadn’t we!

How To Get Millions of Free Coins Every Day!

The key to accessing over $5 million Heart of Vegas free coins each and every day is friendship.

Be a good friend and love thy neighbour and.… fuck that, take your Kumbaya loving hippy crap and stick it in a pipe and smoke it – or whatever it is you do.

Friendship is important in life, and now that we’ve got Heart of Vegas Slots on Facebook, friendship is more important than ever – because for every friend you have that plays HoV you can get 50,000 free coins (assuming they are good gifters*)

From Little Thing, Big Things Grow

Some prefer to use the power of the sun combined with a chemical reaction (in this case photosynthesis) to grow. There are also some that choose steroids or enhanced drugs to increase or ‘aid’ their growth – and others still who use others to build themselves up (to their detriment and otherwise). But today we’re focusing on those of us who like to grow …their Heart of Vegas Balance!

$50,000 Heart of Vegas Coins is nothing – in fact it’s two presses of Big Red or Queen of the Nile – at a minimum! but as the many expressions go – it all adds up, every little bit counts and as many need reminding, You can’t make friends with salad. Remember this and you’ll see it play out each and every day as your Heart of Vegas Free Coins come flooding in to provide you a healthy Balance that is constantly getting topped up – assuming you’ve used Facebook to make friends and not salad.

Seriously though…. Friends do this for you… EVERY DAY

Later that same day…

And the next day…

And the next day… or maybe this was later on the same day? – meh – too many Heart of Vegas Free Coins to keep up. #Firstworldproblems much 😀

Facebook Friends. How Many HoV You Got?

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate how freaking awesome that Pun of mine is….. and of course the rhetorical question contained within…..

And now allow me to answer that rhetorical question…… (what? – don’t even go there, seriously it’s been a long day OK)

How To Get Heart of Vegas Friends Who Gift

The key to maximising the amount of free coins you get each and every day is in finding friends on Facebook who are not only active HOV Players but also who actually use the ‘gift’ function to share the $50,000 Free Coins that each ‘gift’ generates.

Facebook Groups are the key to maximising your HoV Friends list and keeping it full of regular gifters and other players who genuinely love the game for the game sake and gift because they like getting the free coins in return. In fact I’d recommend these groups to anyone who just wants to play the game without any political BS or idiotic trolls making life irritating – which seems to be the norm for most hobbies and online activities these days.

To find Heart of Vegas Gifters you only need use the search function in Facebook – and I’d recommend running a search query for both ‘Heart of Vegas’ and ‘HoV’ as you wil find many groups under both terms. Then simply request to join and when y ou do make sure you actively add people as friends.

Here is an example of a good (and highly active) Group designed specifically for HoV players to grow their ‘friends who play HoV and Gift’ list –> HOV Daily Gifter Group – Add For Friends (no really, that is the name of the group)

I would recommend creating a new friends list in Facebook and keeping your HoV activity seperate to your regular feed – unless you want to tell your friends and family you play Heart of Vegas… over and over and over and over again?*

*Only funny when the game you are playing is Groundhog day or something 😉

How I generate $5 – $10 Million in Heart of Vegas Free Coins Every Day

Your Gift inbox will hold up to 100 Gifts – which if you’ve done the maths (and I know you have, you’re a pokie player after all) equates to $5000,000 in Heart of Vegas Free Coins.

*Do this twice a day and generate $10,000,000 in Heart of Vegas Free Coins every single day – oh and that’s not even counting the hourly 10,000 you collect or the daily allegiance bonuses and other random free coin gifts that HoV Slots occasionally does.

Then I usually make this face…

Whether you are playing for fun or stress relief, to simply kill time or you are doing it for Sparta – the fact remains :

And even though I know I should save the free coins or at least start with smaller bet increments so as to make the enjoyment of playing the free pokies last, Ain’t NOBODY got time for that!

Besides, I’ll just get another 10 million free coins tomorrow. BOOM

Aristocrat Pokies Online – Heart of Vegas Slots App

Where & How To Play Aristocrat Pokies Free – And Why You Won’t

Today I’m going to show you where you can access and play Aristocrat Pokies online for free for as long as you like with no strings attached and no need to sell your first born child or sacrifice your neighbours goat – or any of that stuff.

I’m also going to show you why it’s not what we’d hoped and point out the biggest mistakes Aristocrat made when transitioning their much loved pokie games to the social casino world of online gambling and mobile casino apps.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this social casino app has its good points and does provide a modicum of entertainment when I’m stuck on the train of an evening, but overall I’m incredibly disappointed – not just with the options provided but also with the way the games play (and the inherent player experience that this provides). In fact I’d go so far as to say that the only part of this free mobile slots app that speaks any truth is the word “HEART” because I swear this annoying mobile pokies app will get your blood boiling and have you seeing red in no time at all.

But before we dive into the nitty gritty of the game let’s take a quick look at what it is and where it came from…..It’s time to learn about The Birds and the Bees of Heart of Vegas Slots

Aristocrat Gaming and Heart of Vegas Slots

Heart of Vegas is an online social app available through Facebook as well as the Google Play store and Apple iTunes making it yet another of a myriad of free online pokies and casino slots games that can be accessed and played on any device through social accounts like Facebook or Google+

Originally owned by Product Madness Incand purchased by Aristocrat to launch their Heart of Vegas app (which of course contained all their much loved and globally popular pokie games like Big Red, 5 Dragons and Queen of the Nile (to name but a few) – the acquisition (in September of 2014) – see Source at Yahoo Finance

Heart of Vegas a Reel Success

In the month since the Heart of Vegas app was launched on iOS„¢ for iPad„¢, the app has reached the top 50 in overall top grossing apps in the U.S. and top 15 grossing casino apps in the U.S.

“Aristocrat is all about delighting players with great gaming content. Heart of Vegas„¢ has been a runaway success, bringing our world class games to Facebook players everywhere. The early success of the iOS„¢ app builds on that momentum and provides further evidence of the growing importance of social and mobile gaming to Aristocrat’s broader strategy,” said Craig Billings, Aristocrat’s Chief Digital Officer.

With the introduction of the iOS app„¢, users can play both on Facebook and on iPad using the same account, adding more convenience and options for Heart of Vegas„¢ players.

Heat of Vegas quickly became the best selling and highest rated social casino app on iTunes. Note that the image shows 2013 but this should read 2014

Over the next 12 months up to the beginning of 2015 Aristocrat and their online identity ‘Product Madness’ have truly taken over the social casino market with their award winning app now available on Android, iPhone and MAC computers. And where there used to be 11 of the popular Aristocrat pokies available to play for free, players can now choose from over 60 (yes SIXTY!!) popular titles.

Aristocrat Have a $123 million win …on Free Pokies!

As the big wigs of Aristocrat Gaming counted their profits and losses as of September 2015 they were pleasantly surprised to find their (not so) new social gaming app [Heart of Vegas had helped improve revenue by 145.3% over the previous year,

contributing AU$123.4 million in revenue to Aristocrat's overall financial achievements for 2015.

Aristocrat explained further that the positive performance of the Heart of Vegas apps is a result of the successful strategic acquisition of VGT, which delivered both revenue and profit growth.

Aristocrat and Product Madness Dominate Social Casino Market

As a backgrounder, Aristocrat had acquired San Francisco-based social casino games developer Product Madness in 2012. Being the publisher of several widely played Facebook-based social casino games, the Product Madness acquisition enabled Aristocrat to reinforce its online gaming foothold by entering the social casino market.

At the time of the acquisition, Product Madness already ranked as one of the top five social casino slot operators at Facebook, having more than 500,000 active users daily, and about 3.5 million active users on a monthly basis. Aristocrat reports that today, the average number of active daily users has grown to 799,840, while actual users at year-end has reached 1.089 million. Daily revenue generated average at 38 U.S. cents or 0.53 AU cents per user.

Product Madness proclaims in its website that the Heart of Vegas social casino app remains the Number 1, top grossing iOS social casino app in Australia and among the top five highest grossing social casino apps in the U.S. market. Aristocrat's Chief Digital Officer Craig Billings had previously commented during the launch of the Heart of Vegas iOS app that it is a huge success at Facebook. Mainly because app users are given access to a number of free-to-play versions of Aristocrat's most popular land-based slot machine games, via the FB and mobile gaming platforms.

Boring Business Blurbs and blah-blah-blah

The Chief Executive Officer of Aristocrat, Mr. Jamie Odell said he foresees further growth in overall digital revenue, as he anticipates further increase in the Heart of Vegas app's number of active daily users. Still, the Aristocrat CEO maintains a conservative view by saying that the average revenue realised from active daily users and the related margins will temper throughout 2016, as Aristocrat matures into new channels and hits scale.

Best Online Pokie Software Companies

Last week we took a look at the real bricks and mortar world of slot machines and pokies and we analysed who make the best pokies and slot machines that you have come to love (or hate) at your local club/pub or casino. As a followup we thought we’d take this hunt to the online world where physical machines and their manufacturers are relegated to the backbench and the top online software companies fill their shoes with amazing slot machine themes and interactive gameplay that makes the real world pokies look rather boring if I’m completely honest.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at the best online casino sofware companies and see which ones are at the top of their game and the ones to look out for in the coming months.

Online Casino Software Companies – Who Makes The Best Online Pokies?

In the offline world of pokies companies like Aristocrat, IGT and Ainsworth are the names that all players are familiar with. In the online space the leading online software companies are different as the major offline manufacturers have been too focused on the casino, pub and club markets. And while players like Aristocrat and Ainsworth (who are actually the same team LOL) continue to impress the real world crowd with their interactive slot games and advanced imagery the software companies powering the online casinos around the world are quietly making inroads into the growing market. Not only are the major players making inroads, they are actually making an impact too – with some of the most popular modern day pokies and slots actually belonging to online casinos and the software companies who built them.

Let’s take a look at the major players of the online casino world and see what they have to offer – and more importantly why they are such a force to be reckoned with.

Microgaming

Established in 1994, Microgaming is the biggest online casino software provider and is the software behind some of the biggest online casinos. They have released hundreds of pokie games including popular games like The Dark Knight, Mega Moolah and Thunderstruck II. It would be fair to say that of the top ten most popular online pokies and slot games, at least 7 of them are owned and developed by Microgaming.

But it would be sacreligious to talk about Microgaming without spending some time focusing on their most successful and popular slot game ever – and a game that probably needs no introduction if I’m honest.

Mega Moolah – The Millionaire Maker of Online Slots

The Microgaming jackpot network has paid out a staggering Euro574,000,000 in progressive jackpots since 1998 when Cash Splash, the first linked progressive game to appear online was released. And Mega Moolah, the latest game to join the progressive network is fast taking over as the most famous and popular progressive slots game ever made available. Why? – quite simply because Mega Moolah has paid out more than any other online (or offline) slot machine in history, with one lucky player taking home $10,422,504 Aussie dollars from a $2 spin playing Mega Moolah through Spin Palace online casino.

What are progressive slots machines and pokies anyway? Check out our indepth guide showing you how progressive link jackpots work and why you’re better off trying your luck there than where the odds might necessarily be better. – Visit our Progressive Slots FAQ Page

Mega Moolah – the World’s Highest Paying Progressive Slots network and the game affectionately known as the ‘Millionaire Maker’

With more millionaires made than any other online slot machine there are far too many amazing stories to start sharing them here – which is why we have already prepared a special article focused on the awesome progressive network known as the Mega Moolah Jackpot – so be sure to visit our MEGA MOOLAH page and see for yourself just how incredible (and constant) the amazing wins are that come from this most generous of progressive slots

Playtech

Founded in 1999, Playtech is an online casino software company that is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Playtech’s game range has greatly expanded in recent years with some of the most popular titles being Great Blue, The Sopranos, Spamalot and the Marvel Jackpot pokies.

Playtech offers classic casino games in a download or no download format – which is basically a grammatically incoherent way of saying that with Playtechs range of mobile casinos you will never have to worry about the download and no download online slots options – namely because you will not have the option, with the best mobile casino apps streaming directly from your phone and allowing for interactive gameplay without the annoying downloads.

The Playtech run casinos have been highly praised for their fast playing casino games, their smooth glitch less moves and their more than generous bonus system. Playtech (Real Time Gaming) Casinos have been in business for a long time and have earned a place in the hearts of online gamblers everywhere.
We feature the top Playtech Casinos on this site and urge you if you’ve never before played in one of these casinos, to do so. The experience is definitely one of a kind. They offer many casino games, many of which you already know and play and some very unique games that are well worth trying out. In total there are more than 80 casino games and many offer play in several coin denominations from $0.05 and up. There are also multi player games available.

Playtech Casino Games

Playtech Casinos have spent countless amount of money in research and development to bring you the latest technology in online gambling. New game releases, lobby upgrades and new casinos are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to advances that this casino software provider is making. In order to remain in the top of their field, it’s a must that a company such as Playtech continuously grow and reach out to new players.

Playtech casinos also offer some of the best no deposit casino bonus offers around and I strongly recommend checking out some of these amazing deals before the fizzle up

Net Entertainment (NetENT)

A software provider located in Sweden and established in 1999, Net Entertainment is quickly making waves in the online pokies market with unique games including Aliens, Eggomatic and Robin Hood Shifting Riches as well as huge jackpots on games like Mega Fortune.

Founded in 1996 and firmly established in 1999 by one of Scandinavia's leading off-line casino operators, NetEnt is one of the pioneers in online gambling. Originally from Sweden, NetEnt is active in a major part of Europe with two offices, one still in Sweden, while their second office is based in Malta, well-known for the many online gambling companies centralised on this small and sunny island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. The company has over 200 people employees, whose primary concern is the development and production of innovative games in line with NetEnt's vision

Driving the Online Casino Market through Better Games.

However NetEnt, formally known as Net Entertainment, is the original company name of the Swedish software developer, NetEnt is the name the industry and its players are familiar with. With that NetEnt became NetEnt Casinos and the games of the developer are called NetEnt games. But what is the reason why there is an entire website dedicated to just one software developer and its clients? The answer is easy as the NetEnt games are used by some of the world's most successful and prominent online gaming operators and a Netent Casino offers a complete gaming solution which includes a wide range of high quality games, based on the latest technology, just what players are looking for.

NetEnt Casinos

The success of the Swedish software supplier is partly due to their many years of experience as one of Scandinavia's leading off-line casino operators. This experience can be found in the many dozens casino games developed by the pioneer. But with a wide range of casino games success can't be guaranteed if the online casinos refuse to offer them to their players. This can't be said of the NetEnt games as dozens of online casinos have been added to the large network of NetEnt Casinos. Since there are too many of them, we've made a selection of high quality online casino, offering the entire range of NetEnt casino games, all of which can be FOUND HERE. The network of NetEnt Casinos is growing increasingly just as the NetEnt mobile casinos and NetEnt live casinos.

Who Makes the Best Pokies and Slot Machines?

When it comes to Pokies and Slot Machines there is only really one or two names that come to mind – three if you are a regular punter and frequent more than one or 2(00) establishments – but for the most of us regular players the major names familiar to us are Aristocrat, IGT and Ainsworth. Aristocrat is without doubt the king of the Pokies, especially here in Australia – and surprisingly the man who started the company, one Len Ainsworth also happens to be the owner and creator of the other big slot machine manufacturer Ainsworth Technology!

iGT is not as big as Ainsworth and Aristocrat but are still a popular manufacturer who’s pokies and slot machines can be found in pubs and clubs all across this great southern land. You can also find pokies from Konami – a manufacturer of console games who has made the move over to Electronic Gambliing Devices

In the early 1990’s there were several other brands such as Universal and Jubilee but these games have all but disappeared.

The Top Pokie Manufacturers

Aristocrat Gaming Technology

Founded in 1953 by Len Ainsworth, Aristocrat had perfect timing as pokies were legalized in New South Wales just 3 years later. The first machine to roll off the production lines was the Clubman which was followed by the Clubmaster a few years later. You can learn more about Aristocrat and get some insight into the secrets of their success in Australia (and around the world) by visiting our Aristocrat dedicated games page – with reviews and links to all the best Aristocrat Pokies. Simply follow THIS LINK HERE

In 1984 Aristocrat changed the face of gambling in Australia with the release of the first of what would become the modern day pokie. Today, their name is synonymous with pokies and their game library includes greats like Queen of the Nile, More Chilli and 5 Dragons.

IGT (www.igt.com.au)

While IGT was operating as a private company as far back as the 1950’s it was in 1981 when International Game Technology went public and made a major move into the slot machine industry. They are the number one game maker in the United States and are making inroads into the Australian market with great games such as Cleopatra and Major Money.

IGT enables players to experience their favorite games across all channels and regulated segments, from Gaming Machines and Lotteries to Interactive and Social Gaming. Leveraging a wealth of premium content, substantial investment in innovation, in-depth customer intelligence, operational expertise, and leading-edge technology, our gaming solutions anticipate the demands of consumers wherever they decide to play.

Ainsworth Game Technology

Founded by “Pokie King” Len Ainsworth (pictured above) in 1995 after leaving Aristocrat, Ainsworth Gaming has quickly become one of the top three game makers in Australia and is rapidly expanding around the world.

One of the trademarks of the Ainsworth games are their multi-level progressive jackpots with the Double Shot, Triple Shot and Quad Shot games being some of their most popular titles.

Other Slot Machine Manufacturers

While the three pokie manufacturers listed above are the biggest and most prominent there are some other companies that have either been big in the past or are just started to make an impact. These companies are;

Konami
Once one of the top three, Konami pokies are now found less frequently. They entered the Aussie market in 1996 with popular games like Money in the Bank and Incan Pyramid.
Star Games / Shufflemaster / Bally
Three big names in the gaming machine industry have merged into on with Bally now being a big US slot machine maker looking to make inroads into the Australian market. Top games include Kelly’s Fortune and Wold Mountain.
WMS Gaming
Founded by Harry Williams in 1943, WMS Gaming’s pokies are now available in Australia. They even have a game development office in Sydney. Some of their top games are Zeus, Li’l Red and Jungle Wild.
Aruze Gaming
Aruze Gaming have been in the Australian pokie market since 1989. Their games are not as commonly found as they once were although the new G-Series and G-Deluxe games might signal a comeback.

Online Pokies and Slot machine Manufacturers

When it comes to the world of online pokies and mobile slots we stop talking about manufacturers and focus on the actual sofware that powers the pokies and slots you have come to love. The physical machines that you see in the pubs, clubs and casinos work exactly (and I mean exactly) the same as the online pokies you play except there is no need for a physical machine. As such the manufacturers stick to the bricks and mortar world and leave the online casinos and pokies to the software companies to develop interactive gameplay and awesome online casino games to keep even the most fussy punter happy.

When it comes to online software companies who supply the casino games for you to enjoy real money pokies and slots there is only really 2 or 3 names worth mentioning. In fact I would go so far as to say that if the online casino of your choice does not run one of utilise one of these software companies then I would not even waste my time and money there.

The Biggest names in Online Pokies is Microgaming – with Playtech and NetEnt following closely behind.

How to Play Aristocrat Pokies Online Totally Free

Aristocrat Pokies and Penny Slots – How to Play Your Favourite Aristocrat Games Online Completely Free!

This article was written in response to the many questions we get from our readers who want to know where and how they can play their favourite pokies like Queen of the Nile, Big Red, Lucky 88, Where’s The Gold and More Chilli online. There are various options and although playing them free is one of them, what this article aims to do is show you (without the BULLSHIT) exactly why you can ONLY play them for free and why this is actually not as good as we had hoped, namely because Aristocrat kinda stuffed up in their attempt to control their licensing and brand.

If you want to learn more about Aristocrat Leisure and see detailed reviews and write ups on the pokies that have made them famous then visit our Aristocrat Gaming Page where you will find similar links to below providing you access to the best free and real money Aristocrat Pokies online as well as reviews of the top ten Aristocrat Pokies – as voted by Australians everywhere.

Play Aristocrat Pokies Free

Those who are familiar with Aristocrat and the myriad of pokies and slot games they produce would struggle to disagree with the fact that Aristocrat Pokies are without doubt the most popular games that Australians have ever played. These games can be found played heavily inside the casinos of Australia, New Zealand and USA. The most widely played and popular Aristocrat games are without doubt the Queen of the Nile and 5 dragons while the bigger dollar punters love the $1 minimum and $10 maximum bet that comes with Aristocrat pokies like Big Red and Super Bucks (4 versions now of this popular $1 pokie machine)

You can learn more about these individual Aristocrat Pokies by visiting this page HERE but seeing as you came here to find out where you could play these games online for free and not to learn more about them I shall move on post haste 😉

Aristocrat Progressive Jackpots and Big Pokie Wins

Before we take a look at where you can play your favourite Aristocrat Pokies online I want to highlight something that as an Australian punter I find frustrating and kinda unpatriotic if I’m honest!

In America where the progressive jackpot systems are more common, the average win amount can be anywhere from 1 million to upwards of $15million – and that’s USD! Here however in Australia where ironically the amount spent on pokies and gambling is greater than all of the US combined (source) the amount one can potentially win on a progressive linked jackpot network is around $50,000 – chump change in comparison to the huge amounts offered in the US.

Don’t get me wrong, $50k is still $50k (in fact I have personally won the Lasseters Loot progressive – taking home $49,558.80 – Dead set! – follow this link to see evidence and hear how it happened) but compared to the million on offer in the states it is kinda sorta not really at all fair. Surely Aristocrat, a company that is 100% Australian owned and operated will make sure the jackpots offered to their own would be higher now.

Nope, not even close. While Australia continues to enjoy progressive jackpots that cap and reset at $50k, Aristocrat Leisure are providing the Americans with progressive jackpots with prizes in the millions! What gives Aristocrat?! That’s very unAustralian indeed. Streuth. In fact, Aristocrat themselves are so proud of their progressive jackpots that they proudly share the latest wins on their blog! Follow the link to read about the Buffalo Progressive Jackpot Wins and how 4 players have hit the big one in under 2 weeks!

That’s ummm, totally awesome and I am happy for these players but tell me again what this has to do with Australia and how this benefits me in any way?

It doesn’t! – unless you could somehow access the online versions and then connect to the active progressive network… but you can’t so let it go and move on. In fact the best way to move on is to learn about where we can access and play all the best aristocrat pokies and slots games online and if and where we can play the real money pokies version of these free online aristocrat slots games….

How To Access & Play Aristocrat Pokies Free

There are two different methods you can use that will provide you with unlimited access to the Aristocrat Pokies and penny slots games online. One method is about as official as you can get but has some serious disadvantages for the avid Aussie pokies punter while the other method, although not as formal and certainly not ‘official’ provides Aussie punters with a more realistic gambling experience and does a much better job of mimicking the experience you have come to know and love whilst playing your favourite Aristocrat Pokies at the local pub or club

Play Free Aristocrat Pokies and Slots with Aristocrat (Real Official Like)

Aristocrat have secretly been creating their popular real world pokies and casino slot games online and providing an incredible Android and Apple compatible app that allows players to join the ‘Aristocrat gaming floor’ and play nearly every Aristocrat Pokie you know. Because this is an App it does not allow players to gamble with real money and as such the only options for people within the ‘Heart of Vegas’ app is to buy pretend credits and play with these – or wait an hour for the system to give you free credits (which are equivalent to maybe 4 presses at most)

My Thoughts on the Heart of Vegas Slots App

I have been playing Heart of Vegas for a month now and my thoughts are less than impressive – with Aristocrat dropping the ball and failing to deliver in two areas. Sadly the two areas they have failed to deliver in result in an online gaming experience that is so far removed from the experience we have come to know and love at the local pub that it makes me question what their motives are and started me on the search for some real money alternatives so I could enjoy the same features, symbols and bonus games I had come to love from Aristocrat whilst giving me a complete gambling experience. And what are these two areas they have failed to deliver on? Gambling individual wins (the double up and suit feature) as well as the ability to choose how many lines you play. Sorry but that kinda RUINS EVERYTHING FOR ME! Of course that doesn’t mean you won’t like it – so check it out and tell us what you think.

Play Free Aristocrat Pokies and Slots on Emulators

Playing the unofficial Aristocrat emulators online provides you with some options that sadly Aristocrat themselves failed to provide – and may I just say “poor form Aristocrat!”
The following emulators not only provide you with free credits that you can simply replenish as often as you like (no waiting an hour for free credits) but they also allow you to specify how many lines you want to play and whether you want to gamble your individual wins.

Suiting or doubling up our small wins and choosing what line and credit combination is one of the most crucial things to be able to control if you want to learn how to pick a winning slot machine and how to win on slots – and thanks to these free emulators you can do just that:

How To Play Aristocrat Pokies for Real Money

As previously mentioned, Aristocrat have not licensed their award winning pokies and penny slots games to the online software companies that make the online casino games and online pokies (companies like Playtech, NetEnt, and Microgaming to name a few). As such the only way to play the Aristocrat Pokies that you know so well online is to play them free – either through the official Heart of Vegas app or the emulators provided by many sites (including those listed above). BUT…

It is no surprise that companies like Microgaming who know all too well how popular the Aristocrat Pokies are, have developed some of the best real money pokies alternatives to the Aristocrat games we know and love. These companies have made sure that the alterntive games they make have similar images, the same awesome bonus games and features and anything else that makes the game unique and loved by all. But then they make the games ever better than the offline counterpart by connecting them to progressive jackpot networks and providing constant incentives and player rewards. Below are our top recommended Australian Online Casinos that all use Microgaming software and therefore can provide the biggest and best range of alternatives to your Aristocrat favourite.
