How pokies work
Pokie machines are designed to get you to keep playing for as long as possible. You can’t beat or cheat them even if you believe you have a system.
A lot of websites claim that they can tell you how to beat pokies. They're usually either created by companies that profit from pokies, or by people who have been paid by companies that profit from pokies. The truth is that a lot of time and effort goes into making sure you can't beat pokies, not in the long run. Every pokie machine will always take in more money than it pays out, because their purpose is to make you stay as long as possible. You can’t beat or cheat a pokie machine, even if you have a system. Each spin has as much chance of winning as the last one.
