There are thousands of online casino games for Aussies to play, but there are a handful that deserve closer scrutiny because of how playful the developers have been with their design.
Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s absurd and we thought we’d get a kick from looking closely at five of them.
Most of these games can be played at Playamo.com and you can try them out instantly even before registering on the website. Give them a spin to enjoy a bit of a laugh at their expense. These are the five dumbest casino games you could ever play for real money.
Wolf Gold is follows the typical pokies format with three jackpot levels ($7.50 for Mini, $25 for Major, and $250 for Mega).
The main charm of the game is really its art and the layout of the graphics. Wolf Gold looks like a scratch card game crossed with pokies.
Large and bold graphics, a clean background, and exciting background art will make this game a huge hit for bettors looking for a more classical feel when playing pokies.
The game is easy to operate, has a Turbo Spin option for multiple spins in seconds, and eight pay lines.
Wolf Gold also loads quickly and is not demanding with computer resources, which is a plus for players playing on devices with mobile processors or lower PC specifications.
We also love the additional animations while you are spinning, that breaks the boredom and makes the play more exciting and engaging. Huge wolf and cougar heads that suddenly howl while you are spinning are definitely a three star addition to the overall arcade appeal of the game.
Amanet’s Oriental-inspired Lucky Coin pokies game is set to charm players who are looking for less flashy graphics, a fast-loading game, and eight pay lines with the smoothest transition animations we have seen so far.
Lucky Coin has a slightly higher win rate and awards small jackpots almost immediately after a few spins.
What we especially loved about this game is the slider feature on the lower right section that makes it easy for the player to increase the bet amount from 10 and upward.
The graphics are definitely inspired by Chinese culture, and it is a mix of Westernized Chinese symbols and some mahjong inspired icons.
The shape and size of icons also suggest mahjong play and this just might be what you are looking for if you can’t stand the flashiness of arcade-inspired pokies games.
There’s also an auto-start function and large buttons (Exit, Gamble, Bet) that are easy to press especially if you are using a mobile device to play Lucky Coin.
Yggdrasil is known for shaking things up when it comes to games and in terms of story depth and concept, Vikings Go Berzerk takes the prize. Vikings Go Berzerk reminds us so much of the classic PC RPG game like Diablo, complete with witches, wizards, barbarians, and warriors.
Despite being a pokies game, you will immediately get a feel of being in an RPG game with classic quests and the “roaming” feeling you get when exploring a unique world.
Themed after the Viking myths, including Ragnarok, this game will likely appeal to younger gamblers who do not want to spend their time looking at fruits or aces.
Though a bit heavy on the graphics side because of the bells and whistles (it loads a bit more slowly than the other games), it all worth it because the game play is fantastic.
This pokies game has a total of 25 pay lines, a 0.01 coin value, and you can set the game to auto-play for you.
The game is also quite generous with free spins and it is easy to knock out small jackpots in your first dozen spins. Definitely a friendly pokies games for beginners, even if you are playing with a smaller fund bank.
All Ways Fruits delivers exactly as it promises: fruits. Lots and lots of fruits. Huge fruits all the way.
The interface is bright with pastel colors and sharp lines, and has a pretty basic gameplay mechanism without the additional bells and whistles of modernized pokies games.
The edge of All Ways Fruits perhaps is it loads easily, will not confuse the player when it comes to the prizes, and you can just mash the button until you hit the jackpot.
Like other pokies games from its ranks, it is generous with small jackpots and delivers just enough of the good stuff to keep you playing with it for a few hours.
Play N’Go’s Reactoonz holds a special place in our hearts because it looks a lot like the casual games of the early 2000s.
Games like Peggle and Plants Versus Zombies are definitely the inspiration for Reactoonz.
The game play is different from your usual slots game as each play matches little colorful aliens onscreen for the computation of jackpots. It is possible to land a small jackpot every time you wager.
And while the jackpots are small (e.g. 0.12 coin), this game is definitely a good choice for folks who like winning repeatedly, even if the wins are really quite small.
The matching game aspects is boosted by amplifiers (x2, x3, etc.) that slightly increase the wins with every spin. Try the free play option and you get one million in credits – spin until you drop.
