Australia has less than 2.5% of the world’s EGMs (Electronic Gaming Machines).
The most popular stake on EGMs in Australia is one cent per line.
Australian poker machines have some of the world’s lowest maximum bets.
Australia and New Zealand have the slowest EGMs in the world – this is because they are designed and regulated to limit play (or reel) speeds. This is a responsible gambling measure to safeguard all players at all times.
The outcome of every game or “spin” played on an EGM is purely random chance, and not dependent in any way on any past outcome, time of day, or any action by a player.
EGMs in Australia are powered by random number generators, that ensure each and every result is entirely random. This is a fundamental principle that underpins the integrity of gameplay.
There are no “near miss” EGMs in Australia. EGMs clearly display one of two possible outcomes: a win, or a loss, for each and every bet.
EGMs are complex in that each player does not bet on a single outcome but rather multiple outcomes. This means that there are usually dozens of complex combinations which can result in a prize or “win”.
EGMs are designed to be entertaining and to be played in approved hospitality venues. Every aspect of a poker machine is tightly regulated, legislated, and electronically monitored.
