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.

You know your local lottery games? The ones where you pick out your lucky numbers on a small, printed ticket and stand to win some big bucks? Well, that’s basically what you can expect when playing online keno games – only this time, the tickets are virtual.

Every casino will have its own set of rules for craps, but there are a few things you can count on not to change much from casino to casino.

But don’t think the rules of craps are as easy as stacking chips and rolling dice.
