Favorite Casino Games of Australian WomenWhile gambling may have originally started out as a man’s pastime, today women make up a sizable portion of the world’s active gamblers, both online and at land-based casinos. In Australia in particular, women enjoy all sorts of gambling activities, with the most popular one being pokies, or slots.

Why Do Women Love Pokies?

According to OnlineCasinosReports.info Pokies isn’t only a favorite amongst Australian women; it is the number one casino game of choice for women all over the world. One of the reasons for this has to do with the differences in the way men and women view gambling. Women tend to view gambling as a fun, leisurely pastime, which incidentally might make them a little bit richer; on the other hand, men tend to view gambling as an action-packed, rush-inducing activity in which they can show off their skills and earn big cash.

Pokies is a game in which women can sit back leisurely and enjoy at whatever pace they want. If they win some money along the way, great, and if not, they have at least spent an enjoyable hour. Men, on the other hand, tend to prefer poker, blackjack, and craps, games that are more suspense-filled and skill-based.

Many women enjoy playing pokies at licensed online Aussie casinos even more so than at traditional land-based casinos; playing online allows them the convenience of playing whenever they want, and it serves their need of allowing them to have some time to unwind and have fun, without too much fuss.

Other Popular Casino Games Among Australian Women

While women do tend to view gambling as an enjoyable way to spend time, that doesn’t mean that they don’t also want some of the thrills that their male counterparts seek. Perhaps that is why roulette ranks as the second most popular casino game among Australian women; it is not only a more social game than slots, but it offers greater suspense and stimulation, though it is still based totally on luck.

As for poker, it is not particularly popular among Australian women, with only .5 percent of the female population having participated in a poker game in 2015. However, poker in Australia is not particularly popular in general; only 1.2 percent of the male population played poker in 2015. It’s easy to see why it ranks as only the fifth most popular game, following pokies, roulette, blackjack, and the big wheel.
