The Best Aristocrat Pokies according to Aussie Punters.
Welcome to another page dedicated to the ever popular and always exciting Aristocrat Pokies that line pubs and clubs from Tasmania to the Top End – and with Aristocrat Pokies making up at least 90% of the top ten rated Pokies and slot machines in this country it is no surprise that our top ten is dedicated to Aristocrat Gaming and the impressive array of electronic gaming devices, slot machines and pokies they seem to keep producing year after year. Join us as we count down the top ten – in no particular order because you punters keep changing your bloody mind so often it means the list is constantly changing – and you may even argue that it is wrong, I mean I personally think Zorro is an awesome Aristocrat Pokies game but it isn’t even on the list?! Anyway, let’s stop me waffling on now and check out some of the Aristocrat games that we like to get familiar with each and every weekend.
Big Red Pokies – Australia’s Favourite $1 Pokie
Big Red Pokie – Because Skippy is so Last Century
It does not get more Australian than the aptly named ‘Big Red’ from Aristocrat leisure with the entire theme centred around our National emblem and patriotic symbol – the kangaroo. But not just any Kangaroo – this is the daddy of them all, the big fella, the boss man. Big Red himself.
What’s Up Skip? Who Gives a Shit
Made by Aristocrat – who are the gaming company behind at least 9 of the top ten Best Australian Pokies have given this Australian Pokie a real true blue Aussie feel, with all our local animals making an appearance on one of the 5 reels on offer. And unlike some of the more modern million line payout pokies and modern slot games that seem to offer more confusion than hope, the classic setup and tempo of the Big Red pokies is one that has been proven time and time again to be the most enjoyable for players of all ages and skill levels.
The 5 lines payout over 3 reels makes payouts rarer but easier to read and learn. The payouts when they do come however are as big as the machine is red – so don’t be diswayed by the fact it is a $1 minimum bet pokie machine
Dead set, if this Pokie Machine was any more Australian it would have Alf inside yelling “Stone the Flaming Crows” and “Bloody Gallahs” every time you didn’t win…. Actually that’s not a bad idea for a new pokie 😉 The Alf – Collect 3 or more Flamin’ Gallahs to win up to 25 free games…. Bonus features including Stoning Crows and Filling the [Summer] Bay for a chance at the Jackpot (Progressive or otherwise).
What do you think about that idea Ray Meagher?
Yeah fair enough, kinda saw that coming if I’m honest 😉
How to Play Aristocrat’s Big Red Pokies
You ummm, put some cash in and then press the button that says PRESS. Even Alice managed to follow instructions like that – much to her own demise – but if she can do it then anyone can…. following white rabbits down holes and claiming drugs aren’t involved?! Honestly Alice
The options for playing Big Red Pokies Online are not limited to free and paid services, with Big Red offering on of the highest RTP (Return To Player) percentage – hovering around 97% – versus the 90% industry standard.
This high payback percentage coupled with enormous max winnings ensure you stay glued to the game.
All wins are multiplied by the number of credits and the line-bet except for scatters which pay in terms of line wager multiplied by the number of lines activated. Like other Aristocrat online slot machines, you can play a couple of games automatically through the auto-play option.
Big Red Pokies Bonus Rounds Explained
Big Red presents you with scatter wins, free spins and wild wins. The Tree symbol represents the scatter while the Kangaroo represents the wild. The wild only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. This symbol can replace all other symbols (except the Tree scatter) to up the chances of creating winning combos.
The bonus games round is triggered when you land one or more wild Kangaroos symbols on an active payline. Initially, you are awarded 5 free spins. Every win during the bonus games come with a 2x multiplier. As long as the Kangaroo symbol keeps showing up on the reels, you can continue re-triggering the free spins. In total, you can get up to 255 free spins. The re-spins offer huge payouts.
Big Red Pokies Paytable & Wins 101
The Crocodile and the Boar are the highest paying symbols; the crocodile pays 1250x for landing 5 of a kind while the boar pays 1000x for landing 5 of a kind. The Eagle and the Kangaroo follows paying 600x and 400x respectively for landing 5 of a kind. The scatter symbol only pays during the free games; the symbol offers 50x for every five of a kind you land.
The poker card symbols (9, 10, J, K and Q) pay between 5x and 300x your stake. The beauty of the Big Red online slot paytable is that you are paid 2x whenever 1 Crocodile or Boar symbol appears anywhere on the reels. Other high paying symbols pay when you land between 2 and 5 symbols on an active payline while the poker card symbols pay when you land more than three on a payline.
Big Red features a gamble option which allows you to multiply your wins by simply betting on Red or Black. When you pick the right card, your wins multiply. With Big Red online pokie, you can win up to 10,000 coins – yeee haa!
Jackpots and Big Wins on Big Red
Considering the fact this is Australia’s favourite $1 Pokie it is no surprise that the Jackpots and Big Wins that occur on Big Red are quite common indeed. I think I have witnessed at least 50 people winning over $4000 – sadly I never witnessed myself winning that though LOL
