KOALITY
Quiz
WE LIKE KOALA BUTTS AND WE CANNOT LIE Their fuzzy little ears, their legendary sleeping habits and their love of eucalyptus leaves are well documented, but did you know that koalas have rock hard bootys? Yep, turns out that like wombats (who use theirs as a defence mechanism), koalas are blessed with thickly padded butts. Of course, the reason for this is so they can stay comfy while wedged between the fork of their favourite gum tree… not so that they can show off in a pair of tights.
4
Although if we’re being honest, we don’t really know what koalas do when the sun goes down and there aren’t any humans around. Maybe they do slip into a pair of fuzz-hugging pants and strut their stuff on the branch of neon-lit eucalypt? I guess we’ll never know for sure, but one thing’s for certain – we like koala butts and we cannot lie!
WHAT DO KOALAS DO WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN? Let us know what you think by redeeming one of the codes below. P.S. Each answer will be worth it!

Hacks
Have you ever made a Fair Go deposit, only to come away empty handed? It happens to the best of us. If only there was a way to still win cash, even when Lady Luck has left you high and dry. Actually, wait just a minute. There is a way… with Fair Go cashback offers.
A SUPER SPECIAL XMAS CASHBACK You heard it here first, ladies and gentleblokes. We’re giving you a super special Christmas cashback offer. Valid between November 1st and December 31st, you can get 10% ON TOP OF YOUR REGULAR CASHBACK by sending our chatbot a message that reads XMAS CASHBACK, after which he’ll send you a very merry cashback booster.
6
THE (AWESOME) TRUTH ABOUT FAIR GO CASHBACK OFFERS In case you didn’t know, cashback is how we reward you for showing us some trueblue loyalty – like a pat on the back for choosing Fair Go. But how exactly does this awesome feature work? Well, essentially we return a certain percentage of your busted deposit back to your account, which means that you score extra walkin’ around cash even when your wager goes a little wide of the stumps. Better yet, your cashback comes with a low wagering requirement of x10, all winnings (no matter how massive) are yours and cashback amounts range from 25% for regular punters to 30% for weekend players and 40% for VIPs. Claiming a cashback offer is a breeze too. Simply type CASHBACK into our chat. A friendly bot will then credit valid punters with their cashback. Seriously… if it was any easier, we’d go broke. Just remember that cashback offers can only be claimed on deposits with no bonus attached. Other than that, this cashback offer is the bees’ knees.

XMAS POKIES
Christmas is a lot like a progressive jackpot… everyone loves it! Unlike a progressive jackpot though, we always know when Christmas is going to kick off. So to get you pumped for this epic day, we’re featuring titles with a Xmas tilt. Check ‘em out now and claim your bonus – these games are a gift that keeps on giving!
A HILARIOUS
Christmas Crisis
ONCE UPON A TIME... ...on Christmas Eve, word spread that two burglars had escaped. One thing was certain on this day, this quiet Christmas is going to slide away. It didn't take long for a choice to be made. Pay close attention, don't be afraid. Footprints in the snow, the neighbour's dogs are barking. Oh no, the two burglars are coming! They empty the stockings and eat all the cookies. So the question arises: Will you catch them or join them for goodies?
HOME ALONE: A 27 YEAR-LONG RECORD HOLDER Speaking of defending a home, who doesn’t love the movie Home Alone? We can’t imagine a Christmas without it, but that probably goes for you too. In fact, Home Alone was so popular that it became the highest grossing live-action comedy in the 90s – at over $285 million – a title it kept for an astonishing 27 years.

30-PAYLINES OF
Reindeer Revenge
ONCE UPON A TIME... …a squeaky noise broke the silence at the North Pole. Alone in the vastness of snow, there was Rudolph frozen in a block of ice. Santa cooled him down as he had been very mischievous lately. The noise got louder and the ice started cracking. Rudolph had managed to loosen one body part after the other. When it was done, he was shaking. The cooling didn't make him joyful, he was out for revenge. "Hasta La Vista, Claus!" screamed Rudolph, and so began the fiery Christmas chaos. Full of fireworks, traps and sugar bombs.
RUDOLPH: THE LAST REINDEER TO JOIN THE TEAM Funnily enough, if Rudolph does eventually leave Santa’s team, it won’t be such a big deal for the eight-remaining reindeer – they were after all the original team mentioned in a 1823 poem. Rudolph was only introduced as the leader of Santa’s sleigh in a 1939 storybook… some 100 plus years later.

SANTA IS GIFTING
Festive Jackpots
ONCE UPON A TIME... …when life at the North Pole became too overwhelming and stressful, Santa was ready for a holiday. He packed his festive Christmas suit, grabbed his sleigh and flew to Vegas. It didn't take long for Santa to host Vegas' most wild party. Like everything Santa does, it was epic. However, the highlights weren't the supermodels or the fancy cocktails, even on holidays, Santa has his big bag of surprises ready. No queueing for you, because your name is on the guest list. Party like never before with Santa Claus under the lights of Las Vegas.
WORK XMAS PARTIES: A RECIPE FOR DISASTER Surprise, surprise… getting drunk with your boss and colleagues isn’t a good idea. According to a recent study, leaving early due to excessive inebriation, embarrassing yourself on the dancefloor and using a photocopier inappropriately are common acts at a work Xmas party. Who said office jobs were boring?

KEV‘SAdventure CHAPTER 4
Pursuit of the Trail Having taken a nap for 18 hours and chomping a hefty 500g snack of eucalyptus, Kev, our beloved koala, is on his 13-hour drive to Dirk Hartog Island. Google has decoded the cryptic jumble of numbers and letters into an exact address. In Kev's head, everything's been perfectly thought out. As soon he reaches Shark Bay, he will take a barge transporter across the water to the island from where it will only be 2 hours to his final destination. Kev's road trip mixtapes are rocking, and his expectations are overturning. He can't wait to discover what's ahead of him. Is it a long lost ancient treasure? A chest full of gold coins? A wallet full of Bitcoins? "Grrooowwl", announces his stomach; the excitement makes him hungry. After his arrival, he realizes none of the boats are there. Kev is all alone. "Did I come too late?" he asks himself, disappointed. Exhausted and with heavy eyes, he makes himself comfy on the back seat. "Grroowl!" Suddenly his stomach wakes him up. It's dark around him, but there's an odd noise, "Is that music?" he mumbles to himself and follows his ears till he can't believe his

eyes. Tents are arranged in a big circle, the middle serves as a dance floor and colourful chains of lights, strung from tent to tent, add pure magic to the scene. He is thrilled to see so many happy, laughing and dancing creatures. Kev grabs a bottle of Emu Light from a bucket nearby and joins the crowd. But one shoulder push later, half of the beer is poured over his belly. Stunned, he looks up from his wet fur and meets the eyes of a girl. Time stands still. Kevin looks into the deepest and most beautiful blue koala eyes he has ever seen. "Sorry mate, looks like you've to shake it off with me on the dance floor." replied the girl with a sweet smile; they both begin to laugh. He nods nervously and his heart is beating crazy as he follows her towards the dance floor. "Grroowwl!" Kevin opens his eyes wide, he sits upright on his back seat. "Was it just a dream? It can't be? Can it?" Once again, his stomach growls so loudly that even his beer-glutted fur shakes.

A v��� m C��is�� ����io� Kev hasn't seen his fam in ages. So this year, he's planning a surprise trip back to his mum, dad and sister. With his bags full of gifts and his heart full of love, Kev reaches out to knock on the door of his childhood treehouse. The door flings open; standing there is Kevs family, who all shout "Kevin!" and throw their arms around him. Kev shares wild stories from his recent adventures, they reminisce on childhood memories, and the room is filled with joy and laughter. The family banter that Kev was missing returns.
Time flies by, and Kev's so lost in storytelling that he doesn't even realise his mum whipping up his favourite meal. It only took a swift breeze of the delicious aromas for Kev's head to snap towards the kitchen. He knew instantly that his mum was making his favourite dish, chilli, lime and coriander butter BBQ prawns. Kev's heart drops as the memories of his mother's famous prawns flood back. His mouth begins to salivate just thinking about the tender, juicy prawns he'd missed so dearly. It's time to feast!

What do architecturally designed space hotels, extraordinary twinning rates and goosebumps all have in common? Not much really, except the fact that you can read all about them in our latest release of Fair Go Lifestyle.
ENCOUNTERS OF THE SPACE HOTEL KIND There are plenty of novelty hotels around the world, but this will be the first novelty hotel that’s literally out of this world. Called the Voyager Station, this luxury space hotel is set to accommodate 280 guests and 112 crew members when it launches in 2027. There are also plans for weightless basketball games, freeze dried three-course meals and the
30
best views of earth in the entire galaxy. Of course, the price tag will be astronomical. But all that means is that you’ll need to start winning on more million-dollar progressive pokies if you want to book a spot.
“ The first novelty hotel that‘s literally out of this world. ”
TWINS FOR THE WIN If you think you’re seeing double more and more often, don’t worry about getting your eyes checked. Chances are you’re just seeing an increased number of twins. This, according to a new study in the Human Reproduction journal, is due to the fact that the twinning rate (the rate at which twins are born) has increased by a third since the 80s, which means 1 out of every 42 deliveries will be twins. As for common misconceptions about twins, certain diets don’t produce them, nor do they communicate telepathically. But they can take tests for each other and share a passport, which is kinda neat.
HOW GOOSEBUMPS SAVED OUR ANCESTORS Ever wondered what the point of having goosebumps is? We sure have. So we did a little bit of digging and discovered that goosebumps occur when small muscles attached to individual body hairs contract, making the hairs stand on end. The reason why this happens can be traced back to
“ There‘s nothing scarier than shoulder hair ” our ancestors, who were covered in a layer of luscious body hair. When they were frightened or trying to defend themselves, goosebumps would cause this body hair to flare up, making them appear bigger than they were in order to ward off predators. Because as we all know, there’s nothing scarier than shoulder hair. No offence Kev.

Humans have been gambling since the days of loin cloths and caveman clubs, which is to say that gambling is older than the written word. And ever since that first six-sided dice was rolled in Egypt way back in 6,000 BC, we’ve fallen deeply in love with this entertaining, exciting and potentially life changing pursuit.
HOW WAS GAMBLING BORN? The real history of gambling is more than just crudely constructed dice and primitive games. The ancestors of people who first occupied China published a book on gambling in 2,300 BC called The Book of Songs, which alludes to pigeon racing, numbered tickets and something called the drawing of wood. After that we have the Romans and Greeks, who introduced the concept of gambling chips in 500 BC for the sole reason that gambling for money on things such as chariot races and who wore their toga best at a recent human sacrifice was punishable by a swift sword to the throat – yikes! Then came the Koreans in the 6th century, who played a game called silk arrows using cards made from paper and silk that blended fortune telling, mathematics and good ol’ fashion luck. In addition, they also enjoyed a gambling game that somewhat resembles baccarat. When it comes to what we might call modern gambling though, the kudos goes to the French and the Itali-
ans. The former of which invented vingt-et-un (translated to 21), which is the forefather to what we now call blackjack, while the latter opened the very first casino ever. Called the Ridotto, it was located in Venice and famous for basett, which combines elements of poker, gin rummy and blackjack all in one bellissimo game. Finally, we have the United States, who took the concept of gambling and supersized it in a way that only Americans can. They built Vegas, they made gambling look fun and they gave birth to the very first slot machines. For this we can raise a glass and thank our northern hemisphere cousins, but if it’s all the same to them… we’ll stick to our pokies.

Does everyone celebrate New Year like AUSTRALIA? Australia is one of the first countries to usher in the New Year, so it’s our duty on behalf of humanity to put on an absolute belter of a party! From legendary firework displays to absolutely insane New Year’s Eve gatherings, welcoming in 2022 is guaranteed to be fun. But not every country celebrates the New Year like us. In fact, not every country will be celebrating the start of 2022!
Ethiopia’s calendar is about 7 or 8 years behind ours, so they‘re living in 2014. The Ethiopians vary from the traditional Aussie celebrations… A lot. These blokes and sheilas have some wacky traditions such as slaughtering a sheep and a chicken before dawn and drinking Araki which is a homemade liquor served in shot glasses. They also celebrate their New Year on the 11th of September, instead of in January like we do. Imagine smashing out a New Years festival in September! Mind you, we already hit the Christmas celebrations hard in December so moving New Years forward a few months could go down a treat.

Thailand also has a different calendar system, which is based on the Buddhist lunar calendar. This means they’ll be waking up to 2565. You reckon there’s still going to be this COVID-19 bullsh*t in 2565? Highly doubt it! Anyway, January the 1st has been observed as the New Year’s Day for about 70 years now and we’ve got a hunch the Thai’s won’t holding back from a few celebratory brews.
And North Korea? Well, nobody really knows what the heck is happening there, although since their calendar begins with the birth of a Former President of North Korea, Kim Il-Sung, next year will technically be the 111th Juche year. North Korea is well known for keeping secrets from the world, so it was not easy to find their New Year’s traditions.
However, our sources say, and by sources we mean Google, it is tradition for Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un to address the country with a live speech called the "New Year's Address". This address outlines national policy and priorities for the coming year. Yep, it’s weird to think that different countries celebrate the New Year in not only different styles, but also in different years. However, this is exactly what makes the world so interesting. So in the name of all that’s weird, wonderful and wild about planet Earth, we wish you all the best (and big wins) for 2022!
