Exploring the Basics of Online Pokies and Best Options to Play at JoeFortune
The world of online slots is as vast as one can imagine such a popular casino genre to be. This can make it quite confusing for someone who isn’t that well-versed in this category. To help, below we’ll cover everything you need to know, along with some of the best options you can try out.
Understanding the Basics
Let’s begin at the beginning with online slots. To start playing online slots, you’ll first need to register on the platform of your choice. For this instance, we'll be covering how to do that on the Joe Fortune platform.
Fortunately (pun intended), registration is fairly straightforward as you only need to fill in the details on the relevant page. This includes adding your phone number, which will need to be verified - and then you’ll be able to make a deposit and get stuck in!
It really couldn't be easier when it comes to actually playing online slots. You just need to pick a variant and then press play to see if you trigger a winning combo.
Some of the most common features you’ll encounter are free spins and bonus levels. Other additions will be things like progressive jackpots, where the pot goes up as other users play the slot.
As there are so many slots to pick from, we’d suggest checking the available categories. This will make it easier to filter the exact type of slots you want to play, be it Hot Pokies, 3D Slots, or anything else you might fancy.
You can also try a slot out in Practice Play mode to make this even easier on yourself. This will let you try the game without making a deposit first, ensuring you get the chance to find out if it’s for you.
Speaking of deposits, here you can benefit from paying using traditional payments along with cryptocurrencies. You'll still have access to all of the same options whether you pay with a credit/debit card or Bitcoin.
Top Pokies to Check Out at JoeFortune
We’ll start this out with a classic fruit machine-esque game, 777 Deluxe, a 5-reel, 10-line video slot. Here, you get to see traditional slot symbols with a 3D twist, allowing you to have the same feel of old-timey slots but adapted to modern users. For a similar feel, you could also opt to check out 10 Times Vegas.
If you prefer games that follow Greek mythology, then you can’t miss out on Gates of Olympus 1000. Here, the home of the gods serves as a marvelous background to the game, adding to the immersivity. Alternatively, you can play Wisdom of Athena, which also does a great job of transporting you back to Ancient Greece.
To round this list off, we have Wolf Saga, ideal for players who enjoy a bit of mysticism and majestic beings. This 5-reel slot has an interesting Hold & Win feature, which, when triggered, grants you a trio of respins. To continue with the same vibes as this option, we’d suggest trying out Black Wolf 2.
Benefits of Playing Online
As we’ve covered both the basics of slot games and addressed the top picks, let's get to discussing why someone may opt to play online. To begin with, online slots offer a level of convenience that was previously unheard of.
Modern players can access the pokies they want without leaving the comfort of their homes. After all, not everyone has the ability to commute to a brick-and-mortar casino whenever they want to, depending on their location.
In addition, online casinos are not subject to opening hours, ensuring that regardless of one’s schedule, one can still enjoy playing pokies. We live in an increasingly hectic world, so having access to something 24/7 grants more flexibility.
Since there are no physical limitations, you’ll find a growing number of options to choose from, ensuring you never stay bored. Moreover, many slots also come with brief guides explaining what features they have, making it even easier for beginners.
Next, we’d like to mention the fact that the slots found at JoeFortune are highly accessible as they’re mobile-optimized. This means a player can enjoy pokies from their smartphone or tablet, on top of having PC access.
To round this off, we have to address the fact that JoeFortune has a wide variety of promotions on offer. While they do change sporadically, you’ll find ones that are designed with both new users and loyal ones in mind.
These will ensure that you get to play for longer without having to make additional deposits. As such, we’d suggest keeping an eye on the promotion section to ensure you don’t miss out on anything.
Conclusion
If you’re just starting out with slots, it may seem overwhelming at first. However, we’re confident that with the aforementioned information on hand, you’ll be well on your way to becoming an online slot pro before you know it.

Beyond the Valley will host Victoria’s first pill testing trial.
The pill testing – also known as drug checking – trial is a sensible measure adopted by the Victorian government to keep the 1 in 3 young people who try illicit drugs* safer and more informed.
A fixed site drug checking service will open in mid-2025 at a inner Melbourne location near nightlife and transport, accessible to the 1 in 6 Victorians, of all ages and backgrounds, who use illicit drugs*.
The service will allow Victorians to learn the makeup of pills, capsules, powders, crystals, or liquids, identifying potentially harmful substances including synthetic opioids like fentanyl and nitazenes.
Information provided by the drug checking service will be delivered by health professionals and trained peer workers, who can provide users with confidential support, education and referrals.
The $4 million dollar implementation trial will be used to identify what model works best for Victorians.
The decision to trial drug checking in Victoria is supported by the Australian Medical Association and follows calls from 78 leading health and alcohol and other drug organisations last year urging the government to follow the recommendations from the Victorian Coroners Court after a series of overdoses.
The passing of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Amendment (Pill Testing) Bill 2024, also makes Victoria the first jurisdiction in Australia to have dedicated legislation to support pill testing.
Beyond the Valley is a music festival held over New Year’s Eve in south-western Victoria.
Roughly 35,000 people are expected to attend the 18+ festival, a majority of whom will be under 30. Six youth support and health groups will staff the pop-up pill testing centre and drug information hub.
It will take roughly 15 minutes for drugs to be tested and up to 200 samples can be tested per day. Drug analysis, usually in the form of pills or powders, is used to identify harmful or unexpected ingredients.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan told TDA she was previously sceptical about the effectiveness of pill testing.
However, Allan said since “listening to parents of kids who had either a really terrible experience or kids who’d lost their mates… my perspectives have changed”.
“Young people are smart, they just want the information and we’ve got to give it to them.
“And if we’ve got the opportunity to give them that information and do it in a way that might save a life, then it’s absolutely worth doing.”

Orange Nike's (Brick Shaped) Pill Alert, Melbourne Australia.
Drug alert
Pentylone in orange ‘Nike tick’ pills
The pills contain both pentylone and MDMA and are described as orange-coloured, brick-shaped tablets with a ‘Nike tick’ design. Pentylone is also circulating in other forms.
Pentylone is a ‘synthetic cathinone’ that’s potent and unpredictable
Pentylone is a type of stimulant called a ‘synthetic cathinone’. Synthetic cathinones can produce similar effects to more common stimulants like methamphetamine or MDMA (ecstasy), but cathinones appear to be more potent (smaller amounts produce strong effects). People who have used synthetic cathinones report that they produce less euphoria and psychedelic effects compared with MDMA, and that these effects wear off more quickly. This can lead to people taking more, increasing the risk of negative effects and toxicity.
Higher doses of synthetic cathinones can lead to long periods of sleeplessness and muscle twitching, increased risk of agitation, paranoia and hallucinations, and toxic effects such as overheating and heart problems.
Synthetic cathinones are being sold as MDMA in various forms, linked to hospitalisations
There have been a number of recent cases in Victoria where people requiring emergency care have reported using MDMA, but blood tests have shown synthetic cathinones. Cathinones detected recently in Victoria include pentylone, dipentylone, dibutylone, dimethylone, eutylone and methylone. In most of these cases the cathinones were apparent adulterants in products that also contained MDMA. In others, people had been mis-sold cathinones as substitutes for MDMA. Synthetic cathinones may appear as crystals, powders, tablets or capsules.
Consuming synthetic cathinones with other stimulants – such as MDMA in the orange ‘Nike tick’ pills – will increase the risk of toxic effects. Using cathinones with psychedelics like LSD (acid) will increase the risk of dysphoria (bad trip), agitation, and behavioural disturbances that place people at immediate risk.
Stimulants can also interact with a range of medications, including those used to treat depression and anxiety. Commonly used medications that may interact with stimulants and increase the risk of toxic effects include ‘SSRIs’, ‘SNRIs’ and ‘TCAs’. Always seek information about your medications before mixing with other substances.
A big thanks to Jodi Lee from 7 News for reporting on this dangerous combination.

PILL WARNING NSW, AUS DECEMBER 2019
Drug warning - Variable dose and high dose MDMA tablets/capsules
Consumption of high doses of MDMA (ecstasy) has been linked to cases of serious illness and death in New South Wales (NSW). These illnesses and deaths were a result of MDMA toxicity itself, not as a result of contaminated or fake MDMA tablets or capsules.
While consumption of one MDMA tablet/capsule alone can kill, the risk of toxicity is greatly increased if multiple MDMA tablets or capsules are consumed over a short period, or if MDMA is consumed in combination with other stimulant substances (such as methamphetamine or cocaine).
The dose of MDMA tablets and capsules recently circulating in NSW varied by up to 10 fold. Higher dose MDMA tablets have also been recently identified in NSW.
The average dose in some of these tablets is two to three times the dose commonly found in MDMA tablets and capsules circulating in NSW.
Consumption of MDMA may result in extremely unpleasant adverse effects, serious illness or death.
The higher dose tablets were yellowish green “SpongeBob” rectangular shaped tablets, and blue triangular/shield shaped tablets, stamped with a “TESLA” logo.
Avoid consumption of these tablets.
Adverse effects may include severe agitation and paranoia, raised body temperature, seizures (fits), heart rhythm problems and death.
Seek help immediately if you, or someone you know, has consumed MDMA tablets and experiences adverse effects.
Seek help from your nearest emergency department, call Triple Zero (000) for emergency assistance, or phone the NSW Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26).
Of 52 MDMA seized samples analysed, dose per capsule/tablet ranged from approximately 20mg to 200mg.The average dose of MDMA in the yellow/green “SpongeBob” tablets analysed was approximately 200mg, and the average dose in the blue “TESLA” tablets analysed was approximately 130mg.MDMA is likely to be incompletely mixed and inconsistently distributed through these tablets. Absorption and time to peak effect may also be highly variable

Pill Testing bill to be introduced to Victorian Parliament
Victoria could have pill-testing as early as next year, under new legislation set to be introduced by the Victorian Greens.
A draft of the legislation was revealed today, which sets out what the service would look like.
The Bill calls for two pill-testing services to be trialed for two years: a free mobile pill-testing facility to be used at festivals and a fixed-site lab for drug analysis.
Both sites would be reviewed after one year and have the potential for a four-year license extension.
The ACT is currently the only jurisdiction in Australia to allow pill-testing.
Drug law reform spokesperson for the Victorian Greens, Dr Tim Read, said it was time for Victoria to follow suit.
"We need to change the culture of drug use in Australia, and the first step is treating drug use as a health issue," he said.
"We must acknowledge the current approach is resulting in unintended consequences and instead choose policies that have worked elsewhere.
It's time to get over the stigma and just test the pills."
The bill has the support of several crossbenchers and will be formally introduced to Parliament before this year’s summer festival season.
The legislation would be named Daniel's Bill, after Daniel Buccianti, who died from a drug overdose at Rainbow Serpent Festival in 2012.
Daniel's mum, Adriana, has been a passionate advocate for pill-testing since her son's death and supports the Greens' bill.

N-ethylpentylone in Montreal, Canada
''Although unadulterated MDMA capsules have been common in eastern Canada since 2017, pure N-ethylpentylone (also called ephylone, or BK-EBDP) has lately made its way into the streets of Montreal and was reported to be sold as MDMA in capsule form. An official warning has yet to be issued as most users are unaware of this designer drug. This compound is far more toxic than MDMA and may cause death at high dosage but still within the range of what heavy MDMA users would ingest.
The appearance of the drug or the subjective user's experience of the drug aren't good indicators of its nature. N-ethylpentylone may look like MDMA and feel similar to MDMA. Marquis drug reagent test is your best ally as it will turn bright yellow if it is N-ethylpentylone instead of purple/black for MDxx.''
Anonymous concerned Montreal citizen.

New Zealand - dangerous drug n-ethylpentylone sold as ecstasy
A new drug masquerading as ecstasy has experts worried after six kilograms were netted in a bust by Wellington police this week.
Wendy Allison, director of free drug testing service Know Your Stuff, says many who believe they're taking ecstasy are actually taking something far more dangerous.
"In our testing this season approximately 25 percent of substances brought us as MDMA have turned out not to be, and of those the majority have been n-ethylpentylone."
N-ethylpentylone is a newcomer to New Zealand, only being detected in the country late in 2017. It's cheap and easy to manufacture, but is also far more toxic if it's taken in the same dosage as ecstasy.

NB Pentylone and N-ethyl-pentylone turning up in more pills
Please read this excellent article on NB Pentylone and N-ethyl-pentylone detection by The Loop in the UK.
"... with all the valerones being more potent than MDMA, the mis-selling of valerones as ecstasy causes added concern given that an amount that could be considered an ‘average’ dose of MDMA would be a very strong dose of any of these impostors."
"NB Pentylone and N-ethyl-pentylone can also both be detected at home with [Marquis] drug reagent tests as they turn bright yellow instead of purple/black for MDMA."
