Online Pokies For Australia Day

Added: January 18, 2017

Players from Australia form a significant section of the clientele at online casinos. On January 26 the country celebrates Australia Day. So here are two exciting online pokies with typically Australian themes.

The first online pokie is titled Red Sands and it is from the software provider Realtime Gaming. You can play it at online casinos like Silver Oak and Club World. Red Sands probably refers to the reddish soil found in the interior parts of the Australian continent. The high paying symbols are Australian animals like koala bear, wombat and echidna. The low paying symbols are the brightly coloured playing card icons decorated in the style of Aboriginal art. The kangaroo is Australia’s most famous brand ambassador so it is not surprisingly the most important symbol. It is not only the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier property but it also awards the highest line payouts. Five kangaroo symbols on an active payline will award 5000 coins. The moonscape is the scatter symbol and awards payouts multiplied by the total bet. There is only one bonus feature in Red Sands. Re-spins get activated by landing two or more scatter symbols left to right or right to left. The triggering reels are held and the other reels are spun again up to 10 times. The re-spins award only scatter payouts, but with the kangaroo acting as a scatter symbol.

The Microgaming Australian themed online pokie is titled No Worries and is the more popular one. The title refers to the carefree nature of Australians. No Worries is live at online casinos like All Slots and Royal Vegas. The high paying symbols are again native Australian animals like wallaby, koala bear, platypus, wombat, kookaburra and Tasmanian devil. The difference is that they are depicted in comic style with hilarious win animations. For example, the kookaburra plays a didgeridoo, which is a typical Australian instrument. The boomerang is another well-known Australian icon and is the scatter symbol in this online pokie. The No Worries logo is the wild symbol. The free spins bonus is a standard one, but you get some interesting options once the feature has been completed. If you are happy with the amount won in the free spins you can collect the amount and return to the main game. In the second option you can surrender the amount won and play the free spins feature all over again. But then you have to take whatever you win. The final option is give up the free spin winnings and take a mystery bonus payout instead.
