Free Play
Free Play gives you a risk-free way to learn games, test features, and confirm how a slot behaves before you wager real money. At Dinkum Pokies Casino, many Real Time Gaming titles are available in demo mode so you can spin reels, trigger bonus rounds, and try volatility without risking your bankroll. Use Free Play to get comfortable with payline patterns, free spins triggers, and bonus mechanics before committing to a deposit.

Try Lions Lair for free — what to expect
One good title to try in demo mode is Lions Lair, a 5-reel, 20-payline RTG slot with animal and nature themes and a Free Spins feature that awards 12 spins. The game supports a wide range of coin sizes and a max bet of $100, so it’s useful for testing both low-stakes and higher-risk play styles.

When Free Play can’t replace real-money testing
Free Play replicates game mechanics but can’t reproduce the full real-money experience. Payout percentages, volatility perception, and the psychological pressure of risking cash differ when real funds are involved. Also, certain welcome bonuses and promotions — including the Dinkum Pokies welcome package of up to $1,500 plus 60 free spins (the bonus amount is divided between the first three deposits) — require an eligible deposit and real-money wagering. Always check the terms and wagering requirements before relying on a promotion.
Useful tips to get the most from demo sessions
Use demo play to learn payline patterns, try different coin sizes, and time how often bonus rounds appear. Keep notes on sessions so you can compare how a game behaves over multiple trials. If you plan to move to real-money play, pick a deposit option that suits you — Dinkum Pokies supports Bitcoin, AUD currency, and multiple payment methods including Neteller, Skrill, Visa, and Citadel Instant Banking — and confirm any identity or regional restrictions first.
Responsible use and account support
Free Play is ideal for practice and entertainment, but real gambling should be done responsibly. Make sure you’re of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction before opening an account. If you have questions about demo availability, deposit methods, or bonus conditions, Dinkum Pokies’ support team is reachable by email at support@dinkumpokies.com, and our main DinkumPokies Casino review has additional details about the site and services.
Wrap up your session when you’ve learned what you need, and use Free Play as a low-pressure way to find the games and strategies that fit your style before betting real money.
