The Birth of Online Pokies
The very first online pokies started appearing around 1996 - migrating from the casino floor to the computer screen. Amid a wave of excitement and aided by rapid technological advances, online casinos started scrambling to host the earliest virtual games. Typically these pokies were somewhat rudimentary in style and function, lacking the bells and whistles found in many modern-day creations.
Fast forward several years, and the vast majority of games at Caxino bear very little resemblance to those that burst onto our screens decades ago. But we do offer a smattering of titles if you are one of those seeking more retro gameplay. As we mentioned, we accommodate just about every taste here at Caxino.
And it doesn’t matter if you enjoy playing online casino games for real money, or prefer to keep it risk-free in demo mode, our stacked game portfolio gives you ultimate freedom over your bankroll management. Fancy the look of a slot? Give it a few spins in free play mode first to get a feel for the game and decide whether it’s right for you.
Let’s have a look at the most popular types of online casino games available to play at Caxino.
Classic Slots
Classic Slots are those appearing to imitate their mechanical ancestors that have long populated gaming arcades and casinos the world over. Typically, these games feature basic gameplay, with a small number of reels and just a solitary payline. Classic Slots are in stark contrast to some of today’s beefed up offerings like MegaWays™ pokies, which benefit from up to 117,649 paylines in any one spin!
Expect to find iconic symbols synonymous with fruit machines such as 7s, bells and of course, fruits, in Classic Slots like Play’n GO’s Fire Joker that invites players on a trip down memory lane. For an added layer of authenticity, the backing track and quirky sound effects are executed in similarly vintage style to help give these games a unique charm.
As for the gameplay, you won’t find any elaborate bonus rounds inside Classic Slots - almost unthinkable for any new slot release hitting the shelves today. But that is where jackpots come in - often thrown in by developers as a means to compensate for the lack of features. They’re often on the generous side too - giving you another reason to fire up one of these games at Caxino.
Modern Pokies
Most modern pokies found at Caxino boast bigger playing areas than their classic predecessors, typically making use of a 5-reel setup. But it’s not uncommon for playing grids to reach up to 7x7 in dimension - like the popular pokie Reactoonz by Play’n GO.
This fun-filled game is an example of a Cluster Wins slot - which requires clusters of at least 5 matching symbols forming on the reels in order to trigger a win. Another feature of the online pokie is Cascading Reels. This useful game apparatus assists players by clearing winning symbols from view and replacing them with new ones tumbling in from above to create more win opportunities. What’s more, the process continues indefinitely as long as a winning combination is made on the reels - which can spell some heart-stopping snowballing action and lead to chunky rewards.
Online Slot Features
Software providers are constantly hatching ways to set their slots apart from the competition - helped by the use of cutting-edge technology. Let’s pour over a selection of these below.
Load up any modern day video slot such as Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic Play, and you are likely to encounter Free Spins at some point. This is a common bonus feature bolted onto games by game developers to spice up the overall gameplay and give players a reason for picking out their online pokie among the sea of competing titles. Then there are other enticing features like Expanding Wilds that grow to cover entire reels upon appearance, and moreover, some even come carrying multiplier values that are applied to your stake to boost your eventual return.
The MegaWays game engine referenced above is another fine example of cutting-edge slot technology simply not possible decades ago. The most famous explorer in all of casino land - Gonzo was given a MegaWays upgrade in 2020 with Red Tiger’s Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, while the revamped Piggy Riches Megaways from NetEnt is another to benefit from the unique game engine.
The lure of these games is quite clear. Big Time Gaming’s unique technology mixes up the reel configuration on every spin - turning each round into a guessing game and making for some sky high win potential, especially when all paylines come into play.
Finally, the likes of White Rabbit and Extra Chilli are two quality examples of games incorporating a Feature Buy option. Increasingly, game providers are adding this feature as an option for players to purchase bonus rounds, typically free spins, instantly and for a fixed fee. The cost for doing so normally hovers around the 75x-100x your wager mark, but developer Nolimit City raised eyebrows everywhere when their 2020 release Deadwood came with a lofty price tag of 750x - way above the industry standard.
Jackpots
Last but not least, let’s touch upon those games that offer up the chance to land a life-changing fortune in minutes. We’re talking of course, about Jackpot Games.
The top prizes at stake in Jackpot Games can often grow to insane amounts - regularly stretching into the millions of dollars, and account for the games’ unique appeal that draws legions of hopefuls to the reels time and time again.
How do they reach such astronomical amounts? Well, in the case of Progressive Jackpot slots, these games allocate a proportion of every single wager spanning the entire network of hosting casinos into a communal pool - the jackpot. Whoever is first to achieve a pre-defined configuration during a spin is then the lucky beneficiary of the jackpot - and often several million dollars richer!
One player who can certainly testify to the games’ life-altering capacity is one Jon Heywood of the UK. The former soldier spun his way into the Guinness World Book of Records in 2005 after a triggering a mouth-watering jackpot worth over £13M ($13M) playing Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. More incredibly, he managed it from a stake of just 25p (25c). The pokie in question, Mega Moolah, often throws up some of the biggest jackpot prizes the industry has ever seen, and can count itself as arguably the most popular game of its type in the world. Other fan favourites regularly boasting 7-figure jackpot prizes include the gothic cult classic Immortal Romance, also developed by heavyweight Microgaming, and NetEnt release, Divine Fortune.
Search the Jackpots category to give these games a try today at Caxino, and who knows, with a little luck (and a lot of patience!) you could be following in the footsteps of millionaire Mr. Heywood!
