Pokies divided into four categories: Classic, video, 3D and progressive jackpot

On this page of PokieMonster, the player may find our catalogue of playable online pokies categorized by game type. For simplicity’s sake, we’ve divided up the hundreds of titles into four easily recognisable groups, as follows.

Classic pokies refer to those games based on the old-fashioned one-armed bandits that filled gaming halls for the better part of a century. These have three reels and typically are styled like the fruit machine with the traditional food, bell and BAR symbols – though not always. A few classic pokies have video bonus rounds and some maintain old features like nudges and trail games.

Video pokies are those slot games with five reels and comprise the majority of new releases at online casinos these days. Nearly every new title is certain to include the opportunity to win free spins and most also feature a high-paying video bonus round of some sort.

Progressive jackpot pokies are most well-known for those occasional headline-grabbing, life-changing, seven-figure wins. Often these are of the three-reel variety, but five-reel games may include such a win as well. Typically, the progressive jackpot is accumulated one of two ways: Either one pokie title is fed across an entire network of casinos or an entire software’s catalogue is tied in with a single progressive.

Finally, 3D pokies represent the latest trend in online casinos, i.e. for games to carry 3D graphics. These are essentially the same as video slots save for the bonus animation.
