Video pokies in Planet 7 Oz Casino

As the casino is powered by Realtime Gaming platform, there is a complete collection of over 150 games from that provider, 120 of which are video pokies. Visual design of the lobby is identical across the web version and RTG software that players can install on a computer or laptop for browser-free gaming. As the provider has a fairly moderate amount of games released by today, it is very easy to navigate through the lobby.

For game list customization, a player can utilize two menu blocks above the list. One of them contains a few sorting options such as Newest – Oldest, Most Popular and Alphabetically. Another block enables one to display pokies of a selected theme only: Luxury, TV/Movies, Cartoons, History, etc. A Search line shown above the list will help one find a wanted game by name.

In case the player needs more information about a specific pokie, there is a handy and quick option of how to view the game without opening it. A player is encouraged to put a cursor over the required game and wait for a couple of seconds until a small preview is loaded. It will show a short looped video of spinning reels inside a small window, the dimensions of which are quite sufficient for the player to catch a general idea of how the pokie looks like and what it is about.

RTG pokies span numerous themes, from classic games to feature-laden 5-reel pokies like Rudolph Awakens and Halloween Treasures. However, a typical RTG pokie can be described as having just a few common features (a substitute, free spins) and medium-quality flat graphics with more or less animations involved. Most pokies stick to a traditional format with 5 reels and 3 rows and contain playing card values as low-paying symbols.

Some pokies from RTG have a plenty of generous and fun bonus features. For example, a Christmas-themed pokie The Elf Wars has 50 paylines and a set of unique “good” and “bad” bonuses triggered by Good or Bad Elves, respectively. In addition, the pokie has a signature Feature Guarantee model. Another bonus-packed game, The Naughty List, has two progressive jackpots, free spins and a pick feature in which a player selects from 20 gift boxes till finding two Naughty Notes. Findings reveal that around 15% of all RTG games have three bonus features, or greater.

There are 8 three-reel pokies in the casino, though not all are purely classic. Retro games with fruit symbols and plain graphics include 777, Sevens & Stripes and Double Ya Luck. The remaining three-reelers are modern in appearance but retro-styled in their reel layouts.

Winning progressive jackpots in Planet 7 Oz Casino

A regular player usually cares nothing about progressive pokies for a single reason – they are too tight with jackpot winnings. In the case with RTG pokies, the trend is absolutely different. To start with, most RTG pokies (Achilles, Hillbillies) are fitted out with at least one local progressive jackpot. There are two ways of winning a progressive, both suggesting a player bets real money:
1) Spinning the reels as normal at any bet size (even the minimum bet suffices to qualify) until seeing a Jackpot congratulations message. In this scenario, a jackpot is awarded randomly, at any time
2) Wait until a special bonus feature is activated, during which the player gets a chance to win a jackpot. No random jackpot wins.

Virtually every progressive pokie from RTG stacks up within one casino only, exceptions are three networked pokies such as Aztec’s Millions, Megasaur and Spirit of the Inca which build up across the entire casino network. Local progressives are formed from player’s bets, with just 1.5% of the bet deducted to add to the jackpot pool. An implication is that average RTP values in such pokies remain high and acceptable to most players from Australia.
