Hanging out at pokies after uni..

Yesterday was a unusual day. I was up early, had a quick breakfast and finished my work early. Don’t know why but something made me remember my student days, hanging out at the local pub after work on the pokie (slots, fruit, poker, whatever you call it) machines. To re-live my uni days.. online... i went to this site at onlineslotscity[dot]com.

To give them credit, they really did their homework well. They had all the online slots sites compiled into a single webpage, each site given a full review on what type of games, what bonuses are available and how it works and even the ones with the best payouts. etc.. They even categorized all the sites into the online slots with best bonuses or most voted by players. Good stuff.

However, here a bit of new information for me. Apparently, online slots casinos use a technology called Random Generated Number (RGN), to determine what position the reels will land on, and if you think you missed out on a huge JACKPOT just because someone else was at your machine 5 mins after you left, and HE won. Then think again. It doesen’t work that way and that’s to ensure fairness. RGN is all about the event outcome at that exact instance, 2 seconds before or after, completely different outcomes!

There is no sure way of knowing which machine is the best. You can, however look at the payout ratio of the particular online slots site. The higher the payout ratio the better your odds! Have a look at this article for more details on how the odds work. Good Luck!
