“I have been gaming online for about 4 years now, I still love playing WMS, Aristocrat, IGT & Ainsworth pokies at my local casino but online gaming is just so convenient. I have never yet hit a big pay-out playing online or for that matter at a land casino, but i have had many good small wins that keeps my account topped up. I find that I can play for at least twice as long on my PC than than the poker machines at my local casino for the same amount of money. Many of my mates now play online & we all share positive experiences. A few of my friends just play for fun only, that’s always a great option to get some practice in without making a deposit. Like all gambling you probably won’t get rich but who knows 🙂

“Been punting online for some 10 years & have no interest in New Zealand land casinos these days. By the time you get to & from your local casino, abide by the dress codes, pay for expensive drinks & experience machines that pay-out less than 86%, well it does not make for a fun gaming experience IMHO. You can win money online but obviously you can lose also like all punting if you don’t use your head and gamble responsibly. I set a budget each week & i won’t play again until the following week if i have lost my budgeted money, never chase your loses. My picks for a reputable casino are the one’s that been around for at least 5 years, duly licensed & never play at a site that is located in countries like Panama or Costa Rica as they have many fake games and if you win they will never pay you out”

“Having 3 kids & a job does not give me a lot of free time so I often play online these days. Back in the day I would visit my local RSL at least twice a week & often it was without much success, they are not called one armed bandits for no reason. My mate introduced me to web pokie machines in 2011, being a computer newbie it took a while to get the hang of things, these days I just love the freedom I get with gaming on the go with my iPhone. Some weeks I am up a few hundred & some weeks I am down a little, but overall each month i am mostly up on my winnings. I am a small time punter & gamble low credits per spin so i get heaps of play time for my bucks. My lucky best payers are web pokies like Mermaids Millions, Burning Desire & Thunderstruck 1 & 2”
