Ask any pokie player the question of why they like playing and the most common answer is, the games are fun. The only negative feed back is that the machines do not pay-out as well as they used to.

I first started playing the pokies in 1994. It was not unusual for $50 to last hours. However dropping $50 at an aussie pokies venue these days and your lucky to make it last 15 min. OK so what's changed!

Pokies run on a pre-programmed micro chip. Instead of changing this chip, venue operators change the pokie machine return percentage.

Victorian Gaming authorites require pokies to return a minimum pay-out of 87%. That's a 13% house edge.

Based on my extensive pokie games play, I've formed the opinion that these aussie pokies had their return percentages highly increased. At a guess to around a 95% return.

I haven't seriously played at a pokie venue since 2003. Although these are a game of chance, it's hard to shake that feeling that you don't stand a chance of winning; a feeling like your being cheated.

After seeing a few online pokie machines I gave the online pokies a go. It's not like I could lose any worse that I was when playing at a pokie venue. It was like to old days. $50 lasted me ages and I won too.

$16,000AUD my best win from a measely $20 deposit. Try winning that at your local pokie venue.
