Most casino sites bolt poker onto the back of their slots library and call it done. SpinBoss built a dedicated poker section instead: multiplayer hold'em tables sit next to a video poker library stacked with more than 40 machines, and after two weeks testing stakes from $0.25 to $125 a hand, the selection held up better than most Aussie-facing sites I've tried.
Review of the SpinBoss Poker Category
SpinBoss poker splits into two formats: multiplayer poker rooms and video poker machines. The video poker games work like a hybrid of pokies and traditional five-card draw. The machine deals five cards from one or more decks, you hold or discard, and your payout depends on the hand you land against the paytable posted on the machine screen. Providers stock the library with familiar titles rather than filler, so the paytables match what you already know from the pub or the local club.
| Provider | Number of Games |
|---|---|
| Microgaming | 15 |
| Habanero | 9 |
| Betsoft | 8 |
| Wazdan | 5 |
| Play'n GO | 4 |
| iSoftBet | 3 |
The multiplayer rooms run thin outside peak hours. I sat down at a $5 hold'em table on a Tuesday afternoon and waited twenty minutes for a fourth player to join, so if you want a full table, stick to evenings after 7pm AEST.
Buy-ins on the video poker machines start at $0.25 a hand and climb to $125 a hand on the high-limit Jacks or Better machines, covering casual sessions and serious bankroll play in the same lobby.

Top 5 SpinBoss Poker Games
Five games stood out after weeks of play, and they're worth queuing your bankroll behind:
| Video Poker Game | Provider |
|---|---|
| Jacks or Better | Microgaming |
| Deuces Wild | iSoftBet |
| Joker Poker | Betsoft |
| Double Bonus Poker | Habanero |
| All American Poker | Wazdan |
Jacks or Better carries a 99.5% theoretical return on optimal strategy, the highest of anything in the SpinBoss poker library outside a handful of blackjack tables. Deuces Wild pays smaller on average but hits bigger on the rare four-deuce hand, so pick your machine based on whether you want steady grinding or a shot at a spike.
