Added: January 15, 2015

Australia has a huge coastline and the importance of the ocean in the lives of the people is significant. The Great Barrier Reef is the most beautiful natural habitat beneath the seas. Online casino software developers offer many pokie machines based on the theme of the ocean for Australian players. This article reviews two of the best of such online pokies.

The software provider Playtech offers an ocean themed pokie game titled Great Blue. It is a visual treat for ocean lovers and has the mystic music of the ocean as well. The symbols on the reels are creatures found beneath the sea and include turtle, shark, whale, seahorse, starfish, fish and pearl. The high value card symbols are in a deep blue and create the impression of being submerged in water. The whale is the wild symbol and doubles payouts when it substitutes for other symbols to make winning combinations. Five whale symbols in an active payline offer the jackpot payout of 10,000 coins. The pearl is the scatter symbol and awards scatter payouts. Three or more pearls trigger the bonus feature. You start with 8 free spins at doubled payouts. You then have to choose two of the shells displayed on the second screen to enhance the number of free spins and the multiplier. Great Blue offers up to 33 free spins at a multiplier of up to 15 times. There is a gamble game as well for the more adventurous Australian players.

Dolphin Coast from Microgaming is as visually appealing as Great Blue. The introductory clip will take you on a journey through the ocean depths. There are some awesome win animations as well. A similar set of sea creatures appear as symbols on the reels. The dolphin is the wild symbol and in the main game it appears stacked on reels 2 and 4. This leads to really big wins. The Dolphin Coast logo triggers a bonus feature whenever it lands on the middle reel. Three dolphins are displayed and you pick one of them to reveal a multiplier for your bet amount. Three or more scatter symbols trigger up to 25 free spins. The wild dolphins can appear on any reel, but are not stacked. However, all other symbols can appear stacked. Dolphin Coast is uniquely structured. It is an all pays pokie game with five rows of symbols across the reels. This gives 3,125 ways to win, which is the highest for any pokie machine.
