Mobile Slots Guide

Mobile slots are slot machines optimised for mobile play. This is a basic definition of these games which are very popular among players worldwide including Australians who even have their own term for them - pokies. Although you will typically come across mobile casinos which refer to them as slots, we will use both terms during the text as now you are familiar with them. The term "pokies" comes from Poker machines and though they have nothing to do with card combinations, the term is still live and widely used down under.

Pokies typically constitute the richest library in each mobile casino listed on the Mobile Casinos Australia website as they have been optimised for mobile play due to their popularity among players. You can choose from a variety of themes and features according to your preferences and have an entertaining and rewarding gaming experience wherever you are as long as you play at reputable gaming venues.

Basic Rules - How Slots Work

If you have never played a slot machine before, we provide you with the basic information on how these games work. Basically, you will be presented with a screen with a set of reels populated with a variety of symbols and your goal is to create as long winning lines as possible. These lines should consist of the symbols of the same kind and these symbols vary in their value when it comes to payouts. Because of that, different combinations produce different prizes and typically you need at least two or three symbols of a kind to win an award. You start spinning the reels by pressing the spin button only after you have configured your stake and the result of each round is completely random.

Slots may come in different forms so you can choose from 3-reel and 5-reel slot machines. The latter also known as video slots are the most popular with players as they offer more opportunities to win due to more paying lines and bonus features which can enhance your winning chances. Bonus features will be explained in details in the following chapter. Pokies featuring 3-reels are also called classic slots or fruit machines and they resemble one-arm bandits which have been played at land based casinos over decades. These are more suitable for experienced players who prefer traditional casino games.

Among the most popular slot titles in Australia are those developed by some of the leading gaming companies in the worlds such as Microgaming, NetEnt, PlayTech, NextGen Gaming and more. You can choose from a plethora of slot games featuring cutting-edge graphics and clear sounds which are fully adapted for mobile play.

 

Bonus Features

When we talk about bonus features, we talk about special additions to slot machines which not only that add more excitement to the gameplay, but also increase your winning chances. These features may include special symbols which trigger bonus games or help you create more winning combinations. Today one cannot imagine a slot machine without Wild which is, to put it simply, a joker substituting for other regular symbols to help you create more valuable winning combinations. That practically means that whenever you have a set of identical symbols and you need one more to create a winning combination, Wild which has landed on the line acts as the missing symbols. Sometimes Wild also acts as multiplier meaning that all winning combinations completed with it will be subject to a certain multiplier.

Another highly useful bonus feature is the free spins feature which is in most cases triggered by another special symbol, Scatter. Scatter is typically effective wherever it lands and you need at least three of a kind to activate the free spins feature. As soon as you trigger it, you will be awarded a series of spins which are totally free of charge and they are played at the triggering bet. Sometimes all payouts from these spins are multiplied by a multiplier active during the bonus feature only.

Slot machines today provide you with pure entertainment, so you may be offered to play titles which are literally loaded with bonus features as if you play a video game. Besides these two main bonus features, you can hit bonus instant wins, activate bonus rounds and more. With most slot machines, the largest payouts are hit during bonus games.

Bets and Payouts

Before you start spinning the reels, you should configure your stake by choosing the coin value or your bet per line. Some slot games offer you to wager up to 10 coins per line which can be perfect for high rollers who are always ready to risk more. The lowest coin size is AU$0.01 and your total bet depends on the number of active paying lines. Some pokies come with adjustable paylines meaning that you can decrease or increase the number of active paylines. Be careful with this option as fewer paylines active, lesser chances of winning.

Payouts depend on the bets you place and the combinations that you have created. The higher bets you place and the longer combinations you create the larger payouts you get. To see how each particular game pays, you have to visit its paytable where prizes are displayed in coins. Winnings are in most cases displayed in real money as a product of your coin value and the prize for a particular winning combination that you have hit. When you land five matching top value symbols of on an active winning line, you hit the jackpot.

Apart from regular jackpots delivered for covering a winning line with top paying symbols, you can also hit a progressive jackpot with so called progressive slot machines. These machines work as standard video slots except that you can win a progressive jackpot which can get increased to a life-changing sum in certain casinos. Progressive jackpots are hit randomly with most slot machines and you can read our separate text on progressive pokies to get all the needed information.

Play Slots on Your Mobile

Playing slot machines on your mobile does not differ from playing them on your desktop device as they are fully optimised to perform on smartphones or tablets with all their features preserved during the translation. Though it is more comfortable to play them on larger screens, mobile slots also feature rich graphics and sounds while all controls are easily accessible so that you can set up your bet or activate automatic spins without difficulty.

When it comes to bonus features and payouts, there is no difference between online and mobile slots. Mobile slots are very popular as they allow you to take your favourite form of entertainment with you and enjoy it wherever you are.
