Gaming Club

The earliest Australian pokie machines are rumoured to have sprung from an 1891 machine based on the game of poker. Things have come a long way since then, however, it did take close to 100 years for the first video slot machine to make an appearance. Today, there are hundreds of gaming developers pumping out an endless supply of new gambling slot machines for the modern gambler to enjoy.

As with any game or game variant, rules are individualised – and in the case of online blackjackgames, whether in the virtual or live space, it’s no different. While there are rumoured to be over 100 blackjack variants in existence, you’ll find the selection at an online casino much less intimidating, with the average number of variants totalling 10 to 20 at most.

There are literally hundreds of gambling slot machines in the world. It only stands to reason, then, that they follow a variety of different rules. As fruit machines usually follow a 3-reel structure, their rules tend to be extremely straightforward: land a symbol on an active payline and you’ll receive a payout. Modern slots, on the other hand, are a whole other kettle of fish.
