If you can't keep your hands off a pokie machine...
 You need to learn how to treat it with respect. A pokie machine is a whimsical lover; it can take you to the heights of ecstasy as quickly as to the pits of frustration.
Every pokie player must learn basic rules and tips to make the most of every minute spent in the company of pokie machines. Here are our suggestions for you when playing pokie machines at Uptown Pokies or any other casino.
Max Bet Rule
It has been going as a rule of thumb that you must always play pokies in Max Bet to get the best pay-back rates. This may be true in some land-based casinos, but Uptown Pokies does not set independent pay-out rates per denomination. If a pokie machine is set to pay at 95%, it will do so in every denomination allowed.
However, do note that some pokies, especially 3-reel pokies, have higher pay-table prizes when you play Max Bet. In this scenario, playing Max Bet is essential to get best returns.
Play all Pay-lines
pokies allow you to select how many pay-lines you want to bet on. We recommend that you always play all pay-lines on any pokie that has more than 3-paylines. This makes it easier to land winning combinations, especially in aligning special icons that will trigger the bonus features.
Pick your pay-out style
Are you someone that enjoys getting frequent wins or are you hunting for large prizes after long strenuous sessions? Identify what type of player you are and locate the pokies that are ideal for you. Our games' preview allows you to read whether the game has low, medium or high volatility. The lower volatility means that the game prefers to give small to medium prizes frequently. High volatility means the game will often go through dry patches only then to release higher jackpots.
When to stop playing
It is important to set a budget for every visit to the casino. Having a fixed amount to play makes it easier for you to manage your money. If you want to play one evening with $30, you can set certain rules to your play. For example, to switch machine if you lose $10 of your original balance. This way you get to explore more games than if you keep playing carelessly without paying attention to you balance.
Every spin independent
Forget everything you have ever heard about how or when a pokie machine will pay. Every spin is random and independent from the last. If a pokie is tight after a few hundred spins, it doesn't mean it will loosen up. There is not bullet-proof strategy that can help you beat a pokie machine; you simply need pure luck: playing the right machine at the right time.
Exploit your comps
Be sure to be part of the Loyalty Program at Uptown Pokies and play the pokies with highest comp point compensation. Ask the casino host for tips on which bonuses or pokies have the highest comp rewarding scheme.
Entertainment value
Let's not forget that playing pokies is all about the entertainment. Modern pokies have innovative bonus features that create suspense as you wait for the coming payout. Identify which bonus features you enjoy most in a pokie machine. Is it Free Spins, Interactive Bonus Rounds, expanding Wilds, Scatter Icons, Multipliers or Collapsible Wilds? Once you have your list, go and find the pokie games that offer those precise features and enjoy every minute.
