Pokies introduction

There is a long history behind pokies and how it has developed over the years. It all started in 1891 when the first real pokies machine was invented in New York by a company called Pitt and Sittman. This was to be the most elementary pokies machine with very basic functions compared to todays modern pokies. The pokies machine had no automatic payout function, this was managed by the bar owner and the winning prices ranged from a free cigar or a drink, naturally the deposit function was fully functioning even with the first pokies machine.

It took a couple of years but then Charles Fay came along and reinvented the pokies machine with a more modern look.  Spinning reels with symbols like cherries and the liberty bell. If a player got three liberty bells in a row over the spinning reels he or she would win a prize sum consisting of 50 cents, which, at that time was quite a bit of money. This could explain the amazing popularity the first pokies machines received over such a short period of time. Feys new amazing pokies machine also had horse shoes, stars and card values like 4, 5 King and so on.

Feys machine got so popular and addictive that eventually it was banned from use in San Francisco 1909 and in Nevada just one year later. By 1911 all of Feys pokies machines were outlawed in the state of California and it took several years before pokies was allowed back in Nevada.

The modern pokies machine

The somewhat more modern pokies machines in land based casinos that were driven by electricity were not invented until the 60s by the company Bally Gaming. And the idea to make a pokies machine electrical was a groundbreaking idea to overcome the many technical difficulties that arose when using the first pokies machine. The new pokies machine, named Money Honey replaced reels and tapes that would easily break with more electronic components which not only cut down on upkeep costs but gave bigger and better pokies jackpots for players, allowed for playing with more than one coin at a time but also gave the more modern sounding pokies machines sounds.

Ballys a non aussie pokies company continued developing their revolutionary pokies machine until about halfway through the 70ies when the electric pokies machine got replaces with the digital launch of the very well liked pokies machine “dollar slot machine” which had even bigger jackpots. Until the launch of the dollar slot machine, pokies had not been seen as gambling, it was seen as a form of past time recreation that was mostly for fun to have in the casinos. But because the popularity for pokies increased, the players increased and with the increased revenue the casinos would dedicate large areas just for pokies.

Aussie online pokies

During the late 1990s pokies machines were introduced with bonus rounds, free rounds and even large jackpots which gave even more chances to win and increasing the payout percentage to well over 90% as opposed to the traditional aussie pokies machine that has a payout of about 70%. These new online pokies guarantee better payouts, higher jackpots and more variety than you could ever find in a land based casino and because of that online pokies has become some of the most popular past time activites for most aussie pokies players.
