Added: June 2, 2016

Do you find the time lost while the reels spin an online pokie irksome? You can increase the speed of the gameplay to minimise and sometimes even eliminate this. Playtech, the leading software provider to online casinos, has offered an alternative solution to this in some of its online pokies. You get to play a lotto type game for an additional dollar bet while the reels spin. These online pokies are therefore subtitled Dollar Ball.

If you want to play this side game, then you must place the bet by clicking the Dollar Ball icon on the top right of the screen. This bet is optional and you can wager on the online pokie in the normal way as well. After you have activated the game, you pick five numbers from 1 to 49. You can manually select numbers of your choice or go for an automatic random pick. The selected numbers are displayed on the screen. Keep in mind that once activated the Dollar Ball game will be automatically played along with every spin with the same selection. While the pokie reels spin, five numbered balls are randomly drawn and displayed above the selected numbers. If any of the drawn numbers match the selected numbers, the win amount will be displayed and added to the payout from the pokie spin.

The payouts for the matches are given in a separate payout table that can be accessed through the main game payout table. You need to match one number in order to receive the Dollar Ball bet back and end evens. For a match of two numbers the payout multiplier is 2 times and for a match of three numbers the multiplier is 25 times. A match of four numbers pays 1% of the progressive jackpot amount. A match of five numbers results in the entire progressive jackpot being hit. Once the complete progressive jackpot has been hit, the amount is reset to the seed amount.

The Dollar Ball online pokies are marked separately in the games menu at Australian Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. They also embody different themes. Captain’s Treasure with its pirate theme is amongst the most popular of the lot. A Night Out is enjoyed more by the female players because it features three beautiful girls having a good time on their own. Forest of Wonders is loosely based on the Lewis Carroll novel Alice in Wonderland and features characters from the classic as symbols on the reels.
