What this blog covers
Our Wonderful Pets explains how casino games work, including their features, rules, and underlying statistics. This includes details on volatility, return to player (RTP), paylines, bonus rounds, and the way pokies determine results. The aim is to make the maths clear without dressing it up.
Who it's for
It's for anyone in Australia interested in the actual inner workings of a game. You might have noticed pokies at your local club and questioned how outcomes are determined, or you could simply enjoy understanding how things function. No prior knowledge needed.
How articles are made
I'm Kateryna Sh, and I write the articles here. I base each article on research from the providers' own game sheets and other sources I've verified. I'll state it if a figure can't be confirmed instead of guessing.
I especially like debunking the notion that a win is more likely following a streak of losses. It isn't. Every spin resets and has no memory of previous ones, so a sequence of losses gives you no information about the following result.
