Pragmatic Play Pokies at 918Laki

Pragmatic Play has pokies on 918Laki under the Pokies tab and live dealer tables under the Live tab. Its pokies come in a few clear types: pay-anywhere games, cluster games, fishing pokies and ways games. Tap the Pragmatic Play chip to see them, and bet in Kina.

The game types Pragmatic Play has here

Many pokies ask you to follow lines across the reels. A lot of this studio's games do not. Knowing the type tells you where to look on the screen when a spin stops.

The titles named below were seen in the Pragmatic Play list on our platform. We describe how each type works in general. The exact pays are on the info page inside each game.

Pay anywhere: Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus

In a pay-anywhere game, position does not matter. If enough of the same symbol are on the screen at once, you win, wherever they sit. After a win those symbols vanish and others tumble down from above, which can make another win from the same bet.

These games usually have multiplier symbols as well. A multiplier is a number that your win is multiplied by. In Sweet Bonanza they look like sweets and in Gates of Olympus they fall from the sky. They do nothing unless a win lands on the same tumble.

Clusters: Sugar Rush 1000

A cluster game pays for a group of the same symbol that touch each other, side to side or up and down. In Sugar Rush 1000 the square where a win happened is marked, and a later win on a marked square is normally multiplied. The 1000 in the title signals that this version carries higher top multipliers than the earlier game, so expect a bumpier run.

Fishing pokies: the Big Bass games

The two Big Bass titles here, Big Bass Bonanza 1000 plus Big Bass Bonanza Megaways, are reel games with a fishing theme. Fish symbols carry a cash value. In free spins, a fisherman symbol scoops up the cash on all the fish in view. Without a fisherman, the fish pay nothing extra.

These are pokies, not shooting games. If you want the kind where you aim and fire, that is under the Fishing tab. 918Laki also has its own fishing pokie, Kina Catch, in the Aus Club tab.

Ways and Megaways: Buffalo King

Buffalo King is a ways game: a symbol repeated on reels side by side, counted from the left, makes a win, with no lines to choose. A Megaways game goes one step further. The height of each reel changes with every spin, so the count of ways to win goes up and down from spin to spin.

Others

You will also find themed games such as Golden Ox and Fury of Anubis. Read their info page to see which of the types above they belong to.

Pokies tab or Live tab?

Pragmatic Play appears in two places on 918Laki, and they are very different.

Pokies tab

Tap Pokies, then the Pragmatic Play chip in the row of makers. You can also open the Pragmatic Play lobby page or type a title in the game search. A game loads in your browser, you set a bet and spin. When you leave, your Kina goes back to the main balance.

Live tab

Under Live you will find tables with a real dealer on video: baccarat, roulette and blackjack. You place chips during a short betting time and the dealer plays the round. Live tables use more mobile data than a pokie because of the video. Our online casino guide explains how the different parts of the site fit together.

What to read on the info page

Every game has an info page, usually behind a small "i" or a menu icon. Two minutes there saves money. Look for these.

  1. How a win is made: lines, ways, anywhere or clusters.
  2. The number of scatters needed for free spins. A scatter is a symbol that counts no matter where it lands.
  3. Whether there is an extra bet switch. Some games offer a higher stake for a better chance at the feature. It raises the cost of every spin, so know if it is on.
  4. Whether there is a button to buy free spins, and its price. The price is many times the bet.
  5. The lowest and highest bet.

A stake that suits a small balance

Tumble and cluster games feel busy. Symbols drop, numbers flash, and it can seem like you are winning a lot. Check the balance, not the animation. A win smaller than your bet is still a loss on that spin.

Start at the lowest bet the game allows. Stay there for your first session. If you want a number to plan with, here is an example with made-up figures: K25 at a bet of K0.25 is 100 spins before any wins are counted. Raise the bet to K0.50 and it is 50 spins. Decide which you would prefer before you start, not halfway through a bad run.

Keep away from the buy button and the extra bet switch while your balance is small. Both eat through money quickly.

This is for players aged 18 and up, and only with spare money. Set a stop point for both money and time. There are more ideas in pokies tips for beginners.

Welcome Pack turnover on Pragmatic Play

The Welcome Pack gives a bonus on each of your first three deposits, and the bonus must be played 8 times. Turnover is the sum of all your bets, win or lose.

The pack counts pokies only. So Pragmatic Play's pokies are the right place for it, and its live tables are not. If you sit at a baccarat table with a pack bonus running, do not expect that play to move your turnover. The terms on the Promotions page are what apply; read them first.

For the full picture see the Welcome Pack rules and turnover explained.

How this studio compares with others on the site

If you like simple three-reel games or card pokies, the JILI page may suit you more. For an overview of all the makers and how to pick, go to online pokies in PNG. There is no right answer. It comes down to the pace you enjoy and the size of your balance.

Common questions on Pragmatic Play

What does tumble mean?

Symbols that won are cleared away and the ones above fall into the gaps. If that makes a new win, it pays too, all from one bet.

Is Big Bass Bonanza a fishing game?

It is a pokie with a fishing theme. You spin reels; you do not shoot. Shooting-fish games are under the Fishing tab.

Why does the number of ways keep changing in a Megaways game?

The reels change height from spin to spin. More symbols on the reels means more ways for that spin.

Do I need a separate account for the live tables?

No. One 918Laki account and one balance cover the pokies and the live tables.

Should I buy the free spins?

That is your choice, but the price is many times your bet and chance still decides the result. With a small balance it is safer to leave it.
