Online Slots with a Gamble Feature

The Australian style video slots found at land based casinos around the world all give you the option to try to double up your winnings much like on video poker games. The Pokies as the Australians call them offer you the chance to either double or quadruple your win up to 5 times.

The great thing about these double up features is that you get true odds which are probably the best bet you will ever get when playing a slot machine. By true odds we mean that if you choose between red or black there is a 50% chance or if you go for the suits there is a 25% chance of winning.

Online there are currently only two slots that have this Australian style double up option. Both are five reel, nine line video slots and both have a bonus round where you can win 15 free games which can be re-triggered an unlimited amount.

Thunderstruck and Spring Break
Gamble Features - Double Red / Black or Diamonds / Hearts / Clubs / Spades
The first ever online slot games with a double feature. Both are 5 reel, 9 line games with a 45 coin max bet. They come in denominations of between 1 cent and $1. Top jackpot is 10,000 coins or 30,000 coins on the free games.

An Example of How The Gamble Feature Can be Very Profitable
Lets take a look at Thunderstruck slot machines. The top jackpot is 10,000 coins and the second highest pay is 2000 coins. The chances of hitting either of these combinations are undoubtedly quite low. There are however lots of smaller wins between 50 and 100 coins.

If you were to win 100 coins and go to the gamble screen you could turn it into a 1600 coin win with two successfully gambles on the suit and 6400 coins if you go for the extra one. Most online casinos do have gamble feature limits so depending on your coin size you may have to stop at 6400 coins.

One point to note about trying this double up technique is that it is very volatile. If you miss a few of the big double you can be out of cash in a flash. Of course on the other side of this if you are in luck you can win more than the top jackpot without ever hitting any really good wins on the reels.

So next time you are playing a slot machine with this option if you are feeling lucky why not give the gamble feature a try - your winnings might amaze you.
