Online Pokies in NZ

If you’re from New Zealand, there’s a good chance that you will know of the extremely famous online pokies machine that not only took the world by storm, but also has become a favourite for casino players around New Zealand. The pokie had relatively humble beginnings, and for most of its life, it could be found only on land-based casino floors, where they were the main attraction for most casinos. This all changed once the internet had become available to most people around the world, and it wasn’t long before the pokie was digitized, making online casino pokies the reigning king of the casino world for almost two decades.

Today, there are thousands upon thousands of different pokie games to choose from, offered by sites all over the world. Some pokies have special mechanics; some have unique themes and bonus games, while others might be based on early fruit machines – aimed at those that prefer simpler pokies fun. Whatever the case, almost all of them have been designed to provide both entertainment and the chance of winning real money. If you would rather just have some fun without having to make a deposit, most online casino NZ sites also offer free versions of their pokies, giving you the chance to play as much as you want.

How Online Pokies Work

Every online pokies machine is different in its own way, but most of them use the same, general mechanics. These mechanics involve the spinning of the pokies reels, the paylines, the bet, the symbols, and the combinations that the symbols can create. The reels are the primary playing ground, and depending on the online pokie in question, there can be either 3 to 5 reels on the machine, sometimes more. The symbols are the images, text, or numbers that appear on the reels, and are usually thematically linked to what the online pokies game is going for.

Next are the various online pokies to choose from, including general settings for the game, and some betting options so you can customise how much you want to wager per each spin. Paylines are also included, which calculate combinations and winnings at your chosen real money pokies.

Once a bet is made, the online pokies reels start spinning and will stop at random. The symbols that are displayed on the reels can make special combinations depending on how they land. If there are the right combinations, it is possible using online pokies to win real money or prizes, or possibly unlock bonus content. The simplicity of online pokies games is part of its massive popularity – anyone can sit down, start playing with a no deposit bonus without any prior training and have a great time.
