Microgaming

Our pokie machines, free casino games and online poker are all powered by Microgaming. That may or may not mean anything to you. If you don't recognise the brand, these guys are the IGT, Bailey's, Aristocrat of the online gaming world. Their casino & poker software is regarded as the highest quality available & they've been around since 1994. So what makes Microgaming stand out from the rest?

That's a pretty easy question to answer, because they can be trusted to deliver quality casino games that are as good, if not better than those in land based casinos. When speaking of their Aussie styled pokies then these are in my opinion far better that those in your local club, pub or any land based casino. They offer a wide selection of pokie games which include free spins and bonus rounds.

Probably the most impressive though is their pay-out ratio. Playing a pokie in Australia or anywhere in the world for that matter, the chances are that the machine will be set between a 80% - 90% pay-out ratio. Which basically means the house has a min 10% edge up to a massive 20% edge on every spin. In layman's terms that sucks!

Microgaming pokies however have their pay-out ratio set to an min of 93% up to 95%.

As Raw Funk Games is all about free casino games and free pokies then the pay-out percentages don't really matter as it cost nothing to play our games. In so far as Microgaming, if you were ever to play at an online casino then you'd be wise to play at a one powered by Microgaming.

Pokie Machine Strategy

Playing the Pokies
The most important factor when playing any pokie machine is to realise that they all operated on a computer chip. Each spin is a predetermined result. The only control that you have on the out come of any pokie is the time at which to push the button or pull the handle to make the reels spin, or in the case on the new video pokies, to view the video play of the animated reels spin. Standing on your left foot with your right hand perpendicular to the square root of the hypothesis of the max coin bet button will not increase your chances of winning at any pokie machine. The only thing it will do is make you look like a complete an utter idiot! The same goes with patting the screen, caressing the pokie screen or any of the hundred and one other things I'm you've see people do whilst playing the pokies.

Pokie Stretegy
The only real way your going to stand any chance of a getting a decent win on a pokie machine is to follow a few basic, good sense rules. These are as follows:

Pokie Machine Bankroll Management
Before you play decide exactly how much money you can comfortably afford to lose. Remember that playing pokie games is gambling so the possibility of losing is always on the cards.

Lets say you have $100 and your going to play the Aristocrat 50 lions pokie machine. If the machine is set on 1cent a line then it's going to cost you 50 cents per spin to play all active lines on 50 lions. My suggestion is to set aside $20 and play 2 bets per line at max lines. Better still find a 2 cent machine and play 1 bet per line on all 50 lines. I say this because if you get win then your going to win more than if you were playing a 1cent pokie.

Personally, I tend to stay away from the 50 line pokie machine games, I think they just suck your cash and offer very little chance of any decent return. I'd much rather play 20 line pokies and play 5 cent a line games. In the end your still wagering $1 a spin but the out come of a good win will net you considerably more money.

The other point I'd like to make is if you get a decent win on the pokies, cash out. Put some of the money back to your bankroll and the rest put in your wallet or purse. Least this way you maybe able to walk out of a pokie venue being a winner for a change.

Apart from that make sure if you assign yourself a pokies bankroll that you stick to it. If you win great if you lose walk away and try another day. I've seen too many people just keep feeding a pokie machine in the hope it will eventually pay-out. This mindset can be a very costly mistake and one that can lead to almost certain defeat.

The other alternative is to play free online pokies least they wont cost you a cent.
