From time to time you’re going to come across some games of pokies that have certain ‘mini games’ attached to them. At first, you might not be familiar with these features but gradually you’re going to have to come to grips with them because they’re becoming all too common in many games of slots.

What Are Pokies Mini Games?

Have you ever been in a casino or online gambling website and come across a game of slots where apart from the ‘normal’ game of spinning the reels there are additional features that allow you to place ‘side bets’ or run separate games entirely?

Generally speaking these are known as mini games, and nowadays there are quite a number of them out there in games of pokies.

One of the most popular mini games to first start appearing on slots machines has got to be the ‘gamble’ feature. Essentially, this mini game is triggered right after you win a pot by playing the game of pokies, and it allows you the option of gambling your winnings on a certain result.

There are two different types of gamble mini games that you’ll probably encounter. The first allows you to pick ‘black’ or ‘red’ for a 2:1 payout if you’re right, or allows you to ‘choose the suite’ for a 4:1 payout if you’re right. The second mini game simply allows you to choose ‘hi’ or ‘lo’ and pays out 2:1 if you’re right.

Although this mini game does tie into the game of pokies insofar as you’re going to be gambling a pot you won by playing slots – it is certainly nothing to do with spinning the reels or any other aspect of pokies. That is why it is commonly known as a mini game!

Choosing to Play Mini Games

In general the question of whether or not you choose to play mini games when you’re in a casino or online gambling website is up to you. Most of these games are not compulsory and so you could opt to ignore them and just play pokies instead if you like.

That being said, as you should start to realize from the example above – mini games can be beneficial and could help you to win more while you’re playing slots, which is certainly worth looking into.

On top of that, some of the mini games that have come out recently are a ton of fun too!

Next time you’re in a casino or online gambling website, be sure to keep an eye out for games of pokies that have mini games as part of their features. Who knows – it might be worthwhile trying them out and seeing whether or not you like them!
