Pokies in Australia: What to Know

"Pokies" is the Australian name for poker machines — the electronic gaming machines also known as slots. Australia has one of the highest numbers of pokies per person in the world, with tens of thousands of machines in licensed pubs, clubs and RSLs across the country, plus casino gaming floors.

Gaming rooms are restricted to patrons aged 18 and over, and the games, bet limits and opening hours are regulated differently in each state and territory. PokiesFindr brings every venue together in one place so you can compare machine counts and find a gaming venue that suits you.
