Casino Pokies Online

Raw Funk — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:10:00 +0000

If you play pokies at an online casino you'll know that you'll receive pokie bonuses, a way in which the online casino thanks you for your patronage. Well on Friday I received a few nice casino bonuses to the sum of $150. Having a few spare hours on Friday night I used these pokie bonuses and had some fun.

Lately I've been playing online pokies using the flash casino instead of the casino software. I find that sometimes the flash pokies pay-out better than the casino software. This is not surprising as both versions reside on different servers. Although both out comes are controlled by an RNG (Random Number Generator), they are not using the same RNG. Hence the outcomes will always be different.

So I start playing the pokies.

I was playing $1.35 a spin but a gut feeling (I get these a lot) told me to increase my bet which I did to $2.25 a spin. Three spins later this little beauty drops in. Yep 5 scatters that not only gave a me $1125 pokie win, but also awarded me 15 free spins:

A couple of hundred later and the change of pokie machine, a bet increase to $11.25 and this little ripper drops:

Now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realise that with a mere $150 (a free online casino bonus) I turned that into a nice tidy sum of $2,943.25 in under 45 minutes playing online casino pokies. Least to say I played this down to an even $2,500US and cashed out.

Now lets for argument sake take $150 into an aussie pokie venue. Do you think you could turn that it what I did in under 45 minutes? I have played pokie machines at pubs, clubs and Australian casinos and I can tell you that the likelihood of this happening is not very likely at all. It's more likely that you'll do your $150 bucks or if you do win on the pokies you'll be going to get a $500 win, least of all a win like this playing land based aussie pokies.

This is the online casino where I played the online pokies

Progressive Pokies & Jackpot Slots

Raw Funk — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:03:00 +0000

I don't know about you but I don't seem to have much success with playing jackpot slots. Sure I've had a couple of small wins say $1,500 at the casino, but I know this lady who stuck a couple of bucks in a jackpot pokie machine and won $22,000 at Crown Casino in Melbourne. Se those sort of wins seem to elude me. It's not like I haven't tried, I think I've thrown a bucket of cash at the progressive jackpots but simple can't seem to crack a decent win.

Although I have been recently giving mega moolah a go; it's an online progressive jackpot slot that is currently running at $4,750,354.83 for its major jackpot win. Which in my book for a mere $1.25 a spin isn't a bad risk to take. Before this jackpot slot I used to play Major Millions. The first person to win that won close to $1,600,000US and that was only one week after Major Millions progressive slot had been released. Since then many others jackpot slots players have become instant millionaires.

Writing about all these jackpot slots and progressive pokies has me thinking I should go spin some slot reels for a while. This time could be it!

Playing Online Pokies for Cash
Thought I'd make a short post about the new online pokies site that I've launched especially for people who are looking to play pokie machines at an online casino. At present the home page is active as well as some highly recommended deals for playing online. Most offer some type of free bonus and also give pokie players a sign-up bonus offer. These are some pretty good deals, especially given if you like paying Aussis style pokies. I'll leave it there for now check it out if you have some time.

Microgaming

Raw Funk — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 04:12:00 +0000

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

Raw Funk — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 15:17:00 +0000

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.

If your like me I always like to view images they give an instant idea of what the subject is about without having to read a million words. Most times the viewer can see in an instant if that's what they looking for.

The same goes with online pokies.

I'm sure if this is a topic that your interested in then you've likely visited a lot of sites only to find they don't offer free pokie machines. More than likely they just have a heap of online casino links, maybe some generalised pokie information and that's about it.

After conducting some research on the topic of aussie pokies, I also came to realise that not many sites offered images of the the type of online pokies games that you could play. So I thought to myself why not add a site that featured a selection images of our popular free spin pokies and bonus pokie machines.

Well my new site shows pokie game images. Best of all these are a selection of our most popular pokie machine games that you too can play online and they wont cost you a cent.

Raw Funk Update

Raw Funk — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 08:28:00 +0000

As they stay better to be late than to never have arrived. Not sure how this translates to the raw funk blog but at this point any excuse is a good one!

It's been a while between posts. In all seriousness I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. So today I thought I should really pull the finger out and at least make the effort to post something useful.

In so far raw funk online games you should know by now that we also offer a great selection of free casino games and if you didn't know, we've just recently opened raw funk poker that also provides free online poker so you have no excuses to not be visiting the sites and playing your favourite online games.

In so far as the poker site, it has some great poker guides about the history and what not. It also has a section on Texas Hold'em which is one of the most popularly of online poker games played throughout the world. For those of you who maybe interested in playing but are not savvy with the rules & or the game of poker we now have a free poker tutor that takes you through all the rules & also explains some basic poker strategies too.

Right now we only offer a Texas Hold'em guide, however over the coming weeks we'll be adding the following:

Omaha poker tutor
5 card stud tutor
7 card stud tutor

Also in the coming weeks we'll be writing guides for each of our available free casino games. This should provide some great information to all players who may like to try out other casino type games but didn't know how to play.

Apart from that, I think that just about wraps everything up. Least to say that if your looking for some screen captures and explanation about the pay-outs and playing rules, you may like to check out our our other site free aussie pokies

Not being a huge fan of online poker myself, I still had to pull the proverbial finger out and get cracking on Raw Funk Poker. Over the past few weeks I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. If your savvy with what it takes to run one web site then you'll understand how hectic and time consuming it can be when you have five under your belt.

For a reason that escapes me right now, I never really caught the poker bug. Even the odd invite to a Friday night poker game with the mates never really jingled by bells. So trying to put together a online poker site that actually made sense was a huge challenge. Well I'm happy to say that I've at least managed to put together the home page and made sound & look reasonably acceptable; least in the standards of poker.

If you've ventured into Raw Funk Games and played our free pokies, free casino games or even of free flash & shockwave games, you'd realise we also offer free poker. Maybe I'm just a pedantic git, but, I figured it was better to open a site dedicated to our online poker games than to mix it up with everything else over at Raw Funk Games.

I've still got a couple of pages that need to added such as a basic poker guide and poker strategy; now that's going to be fun, so fingers crossed that my ad copy skills don't take a holiday over the new few days and I can get Raw Funk Poker up and fully operational.

Free Pokies Game Images

Raw Funk — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 12:35:00 +0000

Been a few days since my last post. Being the chief bottle washer and jack of all trades with Raw Funk Games it sometimes leaves little time to do other things. This was the in last few days. We've had a few people ask if we could add images of our free pokies. I was going to add these but didn't want to bog the page down with too many images, hence I left them on the back burner for the time being.

Anyway, thanks to those who contacted me as I've now set-up a dedicated web site just for images of our free pokie machines. Over the next week or two I'll be adding screen captures for both the free casino games & the free online poker games as well.

If you didn't catch the URL for the free pokies gallery this is it http://www.rawfunkgames.biz/

Enjoy!

Free Spin Pokies

9 line pokie machine
Thought it maybe a good idea to post a few of the free online pokies we have on Raw Funk Games.
Instead of making a mash of things, I'm going to group our 9 line pokies together and go from there.

Spring Break is our first online pokie machine in this series. It is set to a colourful summer time theme & offers 15 free spins when you get 3 or more scatters. It also has wild symbols, when combined with everything except scatters it doubles your pokie win. When this pokie machine is in free spin mode all wins are tripled. 3 or more scatters will re-trigger another 15 free spins. Any wild symbol combined on any of the 9 line pay-outs whilst in the free spin mode will also double your win. The Spring Break Wild Symbol does not pay on scatters, be the free spins or in the non bonus round of this pokie machine. All in all Spring Break is a fun online pokie machine. When this bonus slot is hot is can really make some big pokie pay-outs.

Father's Day Downunder Aussie Style

Raw Funk — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 17:27:00 +0000

It was Father's day in Australia 2'nd September 2007 and although I don't have any kids we ended up a friends BBQ. My mate, although born in Australia he's heritage is Yugoslavian, man can they drink! It happened to be a double celebration as his mum and dad returned from a three month overseas holiday on Friday. So as you can expect there was an abundance of fantastic food, including fresh fish that had been caught that day. Include ice cold beer, some excellent red wine and the odd shot glass of Ballantine whiskey (you have to luv duty free), I'd say we all enjoyed ourselves without a doubt.

As I'm writing this however, I start to wonder what it must be like for dads who can't see their kids. Father's in the armed forces; Separations; Divorce, the list of possibilities goes on. I then ponder the thought of how these children feel...

I don't know about you, but issues like this ground me. They force me to look within and around, evaluate what I have & what I should be thankful for. These reality checks are humbling for me.

Good Afternoon Australia

Raw Funk — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 06:02:00 +0000

For the last couple of weeks I've been waking up to glorious sunny days. Having fled the rat race of Melbourne some 6 months ago, my partner & I are now official sea changers. This entire shift of lifestyle and relocation came about in 10 days. Personally I'd just had enough of Melbourne City gridlock, the escalating drug problems, especially in the CBD. This combined with the ever growing incidents of road rage was the icing on the cake.

Melbourne Australia is a beautiful city, its architecture, parks, gardens and historical buildings mix it with the ultra modern landscape is unique to Melbourne's cosmopolitan identity. Melbourne has a broad diversity of cultures who do provide an experience that's worth its weight in gold.

Going out on a limb here I think the big issue; the contributing cause, is everyone has become so paranoid about our anti-discrimination laws. Rules such as these are needed, they obviously protect people & groups of people. However, it seems that the laws that were passed to protect, have become the nemesis of the laws to serve and keep the community safe.

If you happen to start reading my blog you'll soon realise I have a habit of going out on tangents, still it makes for more interesting reading, hey!

I was saying, we've moved down the coast. This blog, the web site and other areas of my online businesses is my full time job. My office, more favourably referred to as my cave, is where I spend a great deal of my time. It's not unusual for me to be heading the bed at 7am most days. Hence I'm crawling out of bed around mid afternoon. I know it's a tough job but someone has to do it...

Well that's about it for me right now, it's Friday night and time to throw some rags on and head down the local for a few ice cold beers.

Online Pokies & Aussie Slot Machines

Raw Funk — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 07:46:00 +0000

Since our free games site opened we've been getting a lot of hits for people searching for free online pokies. These by the way are an Aussie slang word for slot machines. Pokies are actually multi-line bonus slots or if you prefer video bonus slots. Have I confused you yet? Anyway, getting back to the reason for this post.

Being a bit of a Pokies fan I thought it might be a good idea to write an article on slots machines, add some history about where they came from, who invented the slot machine and some other generalised background on the highly popular game of slots. Did you know that slot machines are the bread and butter for land based casinos? If your an Aussie you'll understand why all the RSL clubs, League Clubs, pubs and pokie venues can afford to have the plush surroundings.

Yep it's all thanks to those not so humble one arm bandits!

The date line 1894 San Francisco. Mr Charles Fey a mechanic from the small confines of his basement invented the first slot machine. He gave it the name of Liberty Bell. Apart from Mr Fey being a resourceful fellow he was also an astute business man. Within a short period of time Mr Charles Fey had contacted every casino and gambling house in San Francisco and was now renting his slot machine the Liberty Bell to each of these establishments.

In 1907 Mr Fey received an offer from the Mills Novelty Company to a partnership which he accepted. Over the years the Liberty Bell would received a number of re-designs and upgrades, although fundamentally it still retained the same principles of the original slot machine. To mark a milestone for the Liberty Bell slot the Mills Novelty Company produced a line of slot machines that had elaborate head casts in shapes such as Indian Heads, Lions and other worldly identities. At the time the slot machine body had been produced in wood was now give a cast iron body. Adding the Liberty Bell was also made silent. It was then referred to as the Silent Bell.

Over the years like most things progress and demand has fuelled re-invention of the slot machine. The greatest influence to hit the slot machine industry was the micro chip. Companies such as Ballys, IGT and others developed slot machines that used a micro processor to operate the slot reels and pay-outs. However, back then these slots only consisted of 1 line, 3 line and later 5 line pay-outs.

Believe it or not but the Aussie Pokies were the main driving force behind the development of the multi-line bonus slots machines that are now available in both land based casinos and their online casino counterparts. These slots are more commonly known as bonus slots and are called Pokies or Pokie Machines in Australia.

Pokies generally offer free spins. The current pokie machines in Australia are now offering elaborate bonus rounds as well. Bonus slots consist of the standard 5 reels and range from 9 pay lines, 15 pay lines, 20 pay lines, 25 pay lines, 30 pay lines, 40 pay lines, 50 pay lines. Though the most common pay lines available on Aussie Pokies are the 20 line machines.
