Just because Pokies games are on a mobile phone or installed on your PC, does not make the money from your jackpots any less real. It is incredible to see how far Pokies have come from that first machine in the hands of Charles Fey. There are literally hundreds of Pokies games and themes to choose from and instant jackpot prizes, bonus mini games and added features. Today you can download or play directly at an online casino or on your mobile phone no matter where you are. Then with the advent of the internet and online casinos in the mid 90’s, casinos became online casinos and pokies became Online Pokies. In New Zealand they were still called Poker Machines which was shortened over time to become ‘Pokies’. After that, there was a long period where not many new games out, and it wasn’t till the mid 1980’s that the first video slots rolled in.

In 1954, the government of New South Wales legalised gaming machines in registered clubs and it was not long after that the industry bloomed. In 1953, Clubman became wildly popular, with its sequel Clubmaster coming only 2 years later. Seeing this massive boom in popularity, an Australian company called Aristocrat employed a brilliant man by the name of Joe Heywood to design, develop and build their own game which became known as Clubman. It wasn’t however till the early 1900’s that the slot machines made the journey across the seas to New Zealand, and when it arrived it was a smash hit.
