Article Picture Article Picture Article Picture

The first gambling machine that could be considered a slot machine was developed over 120 years ago. Since those first machines, the gambling devices that have been called slots, one- armed bandits and poker machines have changed dramatically. They have become computerized and have themes that make them fun to play.

People may play poker machines to try to win a jackpot, but they also care about finding a machine that they like. With that in mind it is a good idea to look at what the hot poker machine trends will be in 2013.

Online casinos

The biggest change in the poker machines in recent years is the growth of online casinos. Instead of having to travel to a casino, you can now play them from the privacy of your home. All you need is a computer and internet access and you will be able to start playing. There is no need to get dressed up and no need to drive anywhere to enjoy your favorite machines.

The online casinos offer many of the same machines that are offered in the traditional casinos. They also offer the chance to win real money just like the traditional casinos. As the software that is being developed keeps improving, the virtual online machines will be as good if not better than the real poker machines.

The hottest trend for online casinos is the growth of mobile casinos. You can either download the online casino to your mobile computer device or you can start playing using a flash player. This means that if you have an internet connection that allows you to use your mobile computer anywhere, you can play your favorite poker machine. It is great if you are waiting on a bus or a doctor’s appointment. The mobile online casinos offer a great way to pass the time no matter where you are.

New Ways to Win

Another hot trend in pokie machines is the elimination of winning on specific pay lines. Many slot machines have different number so pay lines. If you can match certain symbols on a specific pay line, you are a winner. At times it can be very confusing to try to figure out how you actually won the jackpot because there are so many different lines.

Microgaming has created software for their new lines of poker machines that eliminates the pay lines and inst4ead offer 243 different combinations that allow you to win. It is easier to figure out why you are getting the payout that you see in front of you.

Updating Old Classics

One trend that is not necessarily new for 2013, but is definitely happening is the updating of some of the favorite poker machines of the past. Break da Bank has been around for a long time and it has always been a popular game. Microgaming has bought out Break Da Bank again and added new twists to it. The game has some of the looks of the original but it is a modern poker machine that offers many of the features that people want.

There is one trend that is not going to change in 2013. People are going to continue playing the poker machines at casinos, pubs around the world and online. The people that are playing are still going to be dreaming of how they will spend their jackpot. That is something that poker machine and slot machine players have been looking for since they were first developed.
