VIDEO POKER

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. While not a proven fact, keno is thought to have originated in China and quickly spread in popularity.

Video poker is a simple variation of physical poker, which is an extremely popular card game all over the world. Usually played on a single screen in the virtual space, online poker cuts away the need for learning how to control your reactions and facial expressions, as you would need to do in a physical game. This makes it the perfect platform for newbies to learn the ropes.
