Pokies are the main attraction here. If you're an Aussie player who just wants to spin and relax, this is where you'll spend most of your time.
These are simple, old-school style games with basic reel layouts, straightforward symbols, and quick rounds with minimal features.
They're ideal if you prefer shorter sessions or you don't want to think about complex bonus mechanics.
Video pokies are where things get more lively. Expect themed reels with animated backgrounds, free spin rounds, and special features.
These are built to entertain as much as they're built to pay. If you like sound, colour and features, this is the category for you.
Not all pokies feel the same. Many players talk about volatility:
If you want steady entertainment, lower volatility games often feel better. If you prefer to take more risk chasing bigger outcomes, higher volatility titles are what you'll gravitate towards. Always remember that higher risk also means you may burn through your balance faster.
Some pokies come with fixed or progressive-style jackpots, where a portion of every bet feeds into a larger prize pool.
Important: A jackpot feature is never guaranteed, so treat these as entertainment, not a plan.
If you like the feel of a real table, live casino games give you that atmosphere from your phone or computer.
In the Live Casino section you can usually expect:
A real dealer hosts the game on video while you place digital bets. You can follow the action in real time, and in many cases interact via live chat. Sessions tend to be slower and more strategic than pokies, which some players prefer.
If you like classic casino games without live video, the table games section is where you'll find:
These run on RNG environments rather than live dealers. They load fast and are good for players who want a more private, solo-style experience.
Many Aussies prefer to play casino games on their phones rather than on a desktop. NextPokies is designed with this in mind.
On mobile, you'll get:
You don't need a separate app to play – you can access the site via your mobile browser and log in as normal. Some players save the website icon to their home screen so it behaves similar to an app.
With so many pokies and casino games available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. A few simple checks can help you choose games that suit your style and budget.
Before you even pick a game, set a clear dollar amount you're comfortable spending. Treat it like the cost of a night out or entertainment, not an investment. Once you've got that in mind, look for games that allow bet sizes that match your budget.
Inside each game, you can usually adjust coin size or bet size, number of lines (for some pokies), and total bet per spin. If a game's minimum bet feels too high, back out and find another one. There's no need to force a game that doesn't match your comfort level.
If you want smoother gameplay, consider lower or medium volatility pokies. If you're okay with swings, higher volatility games might appeal more. Remember, higher volatility can mean longer losing stretches. That's normal for these games, but not everyone enjoys that pattern.
If you like free spins, bonus rounds, and feature games, then modern video pokies will keep you busy. If you just want quick spins, classic pokies and simpler games might suit you better.
In many modern lobbies, you'll get access to search and filtering tools that make it easier to find a game, including:
Search by game name to quickly find your favorites
Sort by "New", "Popular" or "Recommended"
Filter games by provider or game category
Use these tools to track down games you've enjoyed before or explore new ones without scrolling endlessly.
When you have a bonus active – such as free spins or a deposit match – it often comes with specific rules around:
Some promos will restrict free spins to certain pokies, limit how much you can bet per spin while the bonus is active, or exclude some high-RTP or low-house-edge games from contributing fully to wagering.
Always check the promotion page and bonus terms before you start. If a promotion focuses on a particular pokie, the game and its rules will typically be listed there.
Online pokies and casino games are based on Random Number Generator (RNG) technology. That means:
Game fairness is handled at the provider and platform level. As with any offshore online casino, players should always do their own research, read independent reviews, and decide which sites they trust before wagering real money.
It doesn't matter how many games a casino offers if players don't feel in control.
As you move through the NextPokies games lobby, keep a few responsible gaming points in mind:
If playing stops being fun, step away and consider taking a longer break or using tools like limits and self-exclusion. If gambling is causing stress, money problems or relationship issues, it's important to seek support from professional services in Australia. Visit our responsible gambling page for comprehensive resources and support.
You can expect online pokies, jackpot pokies, live casino games and table games like blackjack, roulette and baccarat. The exact lineup depends on game providers active at the time.
Some casinos offer demo play in certain regions, others require you to be logged in or to play with real money only. Check how games load for your location after logging in.
Yes. The site is built to work on mobile browsers, so you can log in and play from your phone or tablet without needing a separate app.
Simple classic pokies or low volatility video pokies tend to feel more comfortable for new players, as they're easier to understand and have fewer moving parts.
Open the game, check the minimum and maximum bet sizes, and only play if the numbers fit comfortably within the budget you decided on before you logged in.
