The ff96 blog: three guides worth reading before you play
What the ff96 blog covers
The ff96 blog answers three practical questions: can you beat a pokie, how does a first PayID payment work, and which games should you open first. Each post uses ff96's own figures, so the minimums, payout times and game RTPs you read here are the ones that apply when you log in.
The posts are short on purpose. If you want the full reference on a topic, each one points you to the ff96 guide that covers it in depth.
Start with the post that matches your question
Can you win at pokies? The honest maths
No method changes a pokie's odds, and this post shows why using four games in the ff96 lobby, from Funky Monkey at 98.00% RTP to Queen of the Nile at 94.88%. It covers house edge in dollars, the myths that cost players money, and a session plan you can set before the first spin.

A checklist and a timed walkthrough for someone who has never paid a casino by PayID: setting up PayID with your bank, sending AU$10 or more, then taking AU$30 or more back to your bank within 5 minutes.
