Australian Club Pokies at 918Laki

Australian Club is the 918Laki house range: eight games made by our own team, opened from the Aus Club tab on the home page. Five are pokies with reels, and three are not reel games at all: a rod fishing game, a hunting game and a pig race. This page gives every game its own section, with a link to its full guide.

What Australian Club means at 918Laki

Most games on 918Laki come from outside game makers. The Australian Club games are different. They are 918Laki's own games, built by our own team, and they sit under their own tab instead of inside the 918Kaya or Mega888 lobbies.

The name comes from the style. Several of them look and sound like the pokie machines you find in a club: a cabinet, lit keys, a TAKE WIN key and a red or black gamble. Others use pictures from home: kina shells, black bass, a muddy village track with six pigs on it.

Where to find them

The games use your Kina balance. If your balance is lower than the bet you chose, the game tells you and shows a TOP UP button. The steps for paying in are on the BSP deposit page.

  1. Log in at www.918laki.com.
  2. On the home page, tap the Aus Club tab in the row of game tabs.
  3. Tap the tile of the game you want. It opens in the same browser page. There is nothing to download.
  4. Wait for the loading screen to finish, check the bet shown on the screen, then play.

What all eight have in common

Every game has a pays panel. In the pokies it is a key marked PAYS. In the fishing, hunting and racing games it is a small icon at the top of the screen. The panel shows what each win pays, worked out for the bet you have set. Open it before your first bet.

In every game the result is decided by the game server at the moment you press: the spin, the cast, the shot or the start of the race. What you see after that is the result being shown. Tapping faster, waiting longer or holding a button a different way does not change it.

Kina Catch

Kina Catch is a fishing pokie with five reels, three rows and 10 lines. A line, or payline, is a path across the reels. Three or more of the same picture in a row from the left reel on one of those paths pays.

Its main idea is the cash fish. Each cash fish on the reels carries a Kina amount on a tag, but it pays only when a fisherman lands on the same spin. The fisherman then collects every cash fish in view. He is also the wild, which means he can stand in for most other pictures to finish a line.

Three or more kina shells start free games. These begin in the creek. Every three fishermen that land move you on to the river and then the open sea, with more free games added and bigger amounts on the fish.

The full rules are on the Kina Catch page.

State of Origin

State of Origin is a rugby league pokie made to look like an old machine: neon sign, LED meters and square keys. It has five reels and up to 10 lines, and it is the one house pokie where you choose how many lines to play.

The TRY picture is the wild. The stadium is the scatter, a picture that pays wherever it lands and not only on a line. Three or more stadiums give free games in which every win is paid three times over.

After any win you can press GAMBLE and pick red or black to double it, or pick a suit for four times the win. A wrong pick loses that win. You can also just press TAKE WIN.

This is the game used for the Welcome Pack free spins, which you can read about on the Welcome Pack page. The game itself is covered on the State of Origin page.

Papuan Black Bass

Papuan Black Bass has no reels. You stand on a river bank with a rod. Hold the big button to swing the rod back, let go to cast, tap STRIKE when the float goes under, then hold REEL to bring the catch in.

Each cast costs your bet. The catch pays your bet times its multiplier. The fish run from tilapia, which gives your bet back, through mackerel, barramundi, coral trout, the Papuan black bass and yellowfin tuna, up to the blue marlin at ×250. Some casts bring up an old boot, weed or a rusty tin, and those pay nothing.

The catch is picked the moment you cast. The fight on the line is the show, not the result. There is also a Biggest Fish of the Week board, where the heaviest fish of the week wins free casts.

Read the Papuan Black Bass page for the full list of fish.

Dolphin Treasures

Dolphin Treasures is the first of three club classics that share one cabinet. It plays 20 lines on every spin, so there is no line choice to make. You set the total bet and press SPIN.

The dolphin is the wild, and a win that the dolphin helps to make is doubled. The pearl is the scatter. Three pearls give 12 free games, and during them every win is paid at ×3. Free games can be won again while they are playing.

The other pictures are sea life: turtle, seahorse, angelfish and starfish, with the card ranks from ace down to nine as the lower pays. Like State of Origin it has TAKE WIN and the red or black gamble.

The Dolphin Treasures page walks through a spin from start to finish.

Queen of the Niles

Queen of the Niles is the Egypt-themed club classic. It plays 25 lines on every spin, five more than Dolphin Treasures, so the same total bet is spread a little thinner over more paths.

The Nile Queen is the wild and doubles a win she helps to make. The pyramid is the scatter. Three pyramids give 15 free games with every win at ×3, and more free games can be won during them.

The picture symbols are the gold mask, the scarab, the eye and the lotus flower. Below them sit the card ranks. One thing to keep straight: the Nile Queen wild and the letter Q card are two different symbols.

See the Queen of the Niles page for the detail.

Indian Dreamings

Indian Dreamings is the club classic with no lines at all. It pays in 243 ways. A symbol wins when it lands on reels that sit next to each other, starting from the left reel, in any row. The position up or down the reel does not matter.

Because of that, a spin can pay the same symbol several times over. If a symbol lands twice on one of the reels in the win, the win is counted for each of them.

The moon is the scatter. Moons give 10, 15 or 20 free games, and every win in them is ×3. The eagle is the wild, and the other pictures are the wolf, buffalo, bear and horse.

The Indian Dreamings page explains ways with a worked picture in words.

Highlands Hunt

Highlands Hunt is a hunting game set in a misty highland forest. Animals walk between the trees. You tap the one you want, the scope locks on, and the shot goes to it. Each shot costs your bet.

If the shot bags the animal, you win your bet times its multiplier. If not, it bolts and the bet is lost. The animals are the bush fowl at ×1.5, wallaby at ×3, wild pig at ×5, rusa deer at ×10 and the creek crocodile at ×25. Now and then the golden Spirit Boar walks through, and it pays ×250.

Bigger animals are harder to bag. That is the trade: a small animal is bagged more often for a small win, a big one seldom for a large win. Choosing the animal chooses how bumpy your session is.

More on the Highlands Hunt page.

Kaukau Cup

Kaukau Cup is a village pig race. Six pigs in coloured bandanas line up, each with a name and a price next to it. You tap a pig to put a chip on it, back as many pigs as you like, then press Start the race.

Only the winner pays. Your chips on the winning pig are multiplied by its price. The six prices run from about ×3 for the favourite up to about ×20 for the outsider, and they are shuffled onto the pigs before each race. You always see who has which price before you bet.

The price follows the chance. The favourite wins most often and pays least. The outsider seldom wins and pays most. A pig's name or colour means nothing, and no pig is ever due a win.

The Kaukau Cup page covers the board and the result card.

How to choose between them

Start with what kind of play you enjoy, not with which game you think pays more. None of them can be beaten with a system.

If you want a normal pokie

Pick one of the five reel games. Dolphin Treasures and Queen of the Niles are the simplest: set a bet, spin, and the machine plays all its lines. Indian Dreamings feels a little different because wins come from ways, not lines. Kina Catch has the most going on, with cash fish to collect and three waters in the free games. State of Origin gives you the most control, because you set the number of lines yourself.

If pokie words are new to you, read the beginner tips first. For pokies from outside makers, see the online pokies guide.

If you want something that is not a pokie

Papuan Black Bass is the slowest and calmest. One cast takes a little while, so your balance moves slowly. Highlands Hunt is quicker, and you decide the risk on each shot by the animal you tap. Kaukau Cup is the nearest thing to a bet on a race: you can spread chips across several pigs or put it all on one.

If you have free spins to use

The free spins in the Welcome Pack are played on State of Origin. When you open the game with spins waiting, it shows how many you have and plays them at a set bet. Winnings from those spins carry a turnover rule, which the turnover page explains.

Playing them on a small balance

All eight are real-money games for adults aged 18 and over. Decide what you can spare before you open one, after food, rent, school fees and family are covered, and stop when that amount is gone.

Every game has a minus key to lower the bet. Use it first. In the pokies the PAYS panel then shows every prize at your new bet, so you can see what a win would look like before you spend anything.

Two of the games have a ten-at-once button: Big Net in Papuan Black Bass and Burst in Highlands Hunt. Both charge ten bets in one go. They are fine if you planned for it, but on a small balance leave them switched off.

The gamble in the club pokies and State of Origin is a choice, never a must. A lost gamble takes the whole win. If the win matters to you, press TAKE WIN.

Questions about Australian Club

Who makes the Australian Club games?

They are 918Laki's own games, made by our own team. That is why they have their own tab and are not inside another lobby.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Each game opens in your phone's browser when you tap its tile under the Aus Club tab.

Which Australian Club game has the Welcome Pack free spins?

State of Origin. The rules for earning and using the spins are on the Welcome Pack page, and the Promotions page has the final terms.

Can skill help in the fishing or hunting game?

No. The catch is decided when you cast and the shot is decided when you tap. How you reel or aim changes what you see, not what you are paid.

What happens if my phone loses signal in the middle of a game?

The result is already held by the game server. In the pokies, a win that was left open is waiting for you when you come back, and it is also paid by itself if you do nothing. If something looks wrong, check your betting history from the menu and ask Live chat.

Is there one game that wins more often?

No game is a sure thing. Some pay small wins often and some pay large wins seldom, and each game's pays panel shows which is which. Pick by the style you like and the bet you can afford.
