Spin2U pokies at a glance

A tour of the five styles, one game each

Pokies look endlessly varied, but they pay in only five basic ways. Here is one Spin2U game for each, so you know what to expect when you open something similar.

Hold and Win: 3 Clover Pots (3 Oaks)

A 25-line game in which coin symbols start a respin round and lock in place. Three pots above the reels, Double, Mystery and Collect, each add their own effect to the round, and the free spins bring x2 wilds. 3 Oaks leaves the RTP to the game's information panel.

Pays anywhere: Gates of Olympus (Pragmatic Play)

Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on a 6×5 grid make a win, and winners tumble away for new symbols to fall in. Multiplier symbols worth 2x to 500x add up across free spins. High volatility, 96.50% RTP, 5,000x max win.

Ways: Mahjong Roar (AdvantPlay)

Mahjong tiles pay on neighbouring reels across 720 ways, which can expand to 3,125, and the free games add extra reels. Cascade multipliers climb with each chain and gold tiles turn wild. Medium volatility, 97.00% RTP, 2,500x max win.

Classic: Funky Monkey (VPower)

One line across a single row of 5 reels. It is about as simple as a pokie gets, with medium volatility and a 98.00% RTP.

Fishing: Kirin Storm VIP (VPower)

No reels at all: you aim and fire at targets for score rewards up to 800x. Low volatility and a 97.52% RTP.

The online pokies guide adds more titles to each style, with six full game profiles and a comparison table.

Your first 15 minutes in the Spin2U lobby

1. Log in and open the lobby. The search box and the provider filter sit at the top; the categories below them are a quick way to browse.
2. Pick one game from the tour above in the style that sounds most fun, and open its demo.
3. Find three things before spinning: the stake control, the paytable and the rule that starts the bonus.
4. Play 50 or so demo spins. Notice how many spins pay anything and how big a typical win is compared with the stake. That is volatility, felt rather than read.
5. Decide. If the game still appeals, it is a candidate for real play. If it bored or frustrated you, try the next style instead.

Fifteen minutes of this teaches more about a game than any review, and it costs nothing.

Three figures to read before you play

Every Spin2U pokie has an information panel, behind an "i" or menu icon. Three figures in it describe how the game treats your money.

If a game's studio has not published one of these, the information panel inside the game shows it. For a single evening, volatility matters more than RTP: it decides whether a small balance sees a feature before it runs out.

Demo, free chip or real money?

You can play the same pokie three ways at Spin2U. The rules and figures stay identical; what changes is the money involved.

• Demo. Free once you log in, using practice credit that has no cash value. Use it to find the stake button, read the paytable and see a bonus round in action. A good demo run predicts nothing about a paid one.
• Free chip. Credit from a Spin2U offer, played on the games the offer lists, under that offer's terms. Free chip pokies at Spin2U explains how to claim one and where to spin it.
• Real money. Your own deposit, from AU$10. Wins are yours, and a balance of AU$30 or more can be withdrawn.

The order that works for most people: demo a game until it makes sense, then play it for money at a bet that suits your deposit.

The 11 studios with a Spin2U guide

The other studios are in the lobby's provider filter. Searching part of a game's name is usually quickest; check the full title, because some games exist in more than one edition.

Money in and money out

Nine methods fund your Spin2U balance from AU$10, and there is no maximum deposit. Eight of them land instantly; Bitcoin takes 10–30 minutes to confirm and carries its own network fee. Spin2U itself charges nothing.

Four of the nine also pay winnings back: PayID to your bank account, or Skrill, Neteller or Payz to a wallet. Each pays within 5 minutes, and the PayID time is guaranteed. Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, eZeeWallet and Bitcoin are deposit methods. The Spin2U banking guide compares all nine, the e-wallet guide covers the wallet route, and Spin2U withdrawal times explains what to check if a payout seems slow.

Choose a bet that makes your deposit last

Every pokie keeps a share of what goes through it over time, so your bet size decides how long a deposit lasts: AU$25 at AU$0.25 a spin is 100 spins before any wins come back, while at AU$1.25 it is 20. Pair the deposit with an offer and it goes further: the 40% first-deposit match turns an AU$30 deposit into AU$42.

Spin2U also offers personal deposit limits; Spin2U deposit limits shows how to choose one. Breaks, time-outs and outside help are on help, limits and breaks with Spin2U. When you are ready, visit Spin2U ↗
