You might come across two different types of free spins while playing online pokies. The first is free spins that an online casino hands out to players for signing up or as part of a regular promotion. While you’ll have just as much chance at a win as anyone else when you play these, most online casinos don’t allow you to play progressive jackpots with free spins, or if they do, they impose a win limit so that you probably can’t walk away with a jackpot prize.
The other type of free spins are those that are triggered by landing certain symbols while you’re playing the base game. Whether or not you can win a jackpot in the free spins round will depend on the pokie you’re playing.
