Quiz KOALITY
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF KOALAS?
Koalas look similar no matter where you go. They all have fluffy ears, fuzzy bellies, and a docile look on their face. But did you know that there are actually two different species of koalas in Australia?
New South Wales koalas are thinner and more agile (which allows them to rock a pair of skinny jeans). On the other hand, Victorian koalas are bigger with darker fur (and more suited to a pair of overalls).
New South Wales koalas also love traveling as evidenced by our koala mascot, Kev, while Victorian koalas would prefer to sit on their branch all day long – which might explain why they're the slightly, ahem, girthier species.
Of course, we love all koalas no matter their shape or size (or what type of clothes they can fit into). But we still want to test your koala IQ.

EXCLUSIVE BETTING TIPS FROM VIP PUNTERS
To become a pro, you need to learn from a pro. And the punting pros at Fair Go have some choice strategies for winning big!
The first is that you should always be playing the hottest game of the moment. This will give you an edge over players who stick to the same game all the time.
The second is that claiming cashback and comp points is vital! Seriously, it's like free money. And what type of crazy person says no to free money? Not you (we hope).
Finally, know the bonus terms and cashout limits like the back of your hand. That'll help you avoid redeeming too many freebies consecutively or accidentally breaking bonus conditions. Because at the end of the day, winning with us is more about playing smarter, not harder. Although if you want to go hard too then we won’t stand
in your way!
We don't condone cheating (that just isn't the right way). But what we do support are casino hacks that make you a more successful bettor... just like this absolute peach you are about to explore.

All our pokies have been bonzer this year, but the following three games are the best of the best. Call them loved, call them popular. Just whatever you do, don’t call them dull!

ONCE UPON A TIME...
China has given us many things, like chopsticks, martial arts and kung pow chicken. But if you ask us, oriental-themed pokies take the cake. With gameplay grander than the Great Wall and more ways to win than China has soybeans, you don’t need a fortune cookie to know that their pokies are amazing!
30 MILLION CHINESE CAVE DWELLERS
Nope, that’s not a bad joke – there are over 30 million Chinese people living in caves. And while their underground abodes might have stone beds and zero plumbing, they’re actually more energy efficient than normal houses.

Order a Chinese meal from your local takeaway shop then kick back and relax.

With payouts and prizes delivered to your screen daily. Of course, if that doesn’t work there’s always Fortunate Buddha – the pokie so great it makes Buddhists cry “Hallelujah”!
IT’S A BIRD, IT’S A PLANE, IT’S BUDDHA!

A POKIE THAT PROVES crime does pay
ONCE UPON A TIME...
The plan was set. The night had come. It was finally time for this bumbling burglar to make his move. He slipped on his mask and slid out the door, only to turn around a break back into his own house. Now, you might think this odd. You might say it’s crazy. But tell us… what’s a burglar to do when he’s working from home?
A DICTATOR AND A BANK HEIST
There have been more than a few legendary bank heists over the course of history, but the biggest heist ever? That goes to none other than Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein who stole $920 million from an Iraqi bank in 2003.

Adventure KEV‘S
CHAPTER 8
Way of Destiny
Without hesitation and to her surprise, Kevin jumped on her, using his body as a shield to protect her from the sandstorm. Despite Kev’s thick and fluffy fur, he felt the grains of sand on his back like the pricks of a needle.
The racket of the noise gradually grew less until it vanished, and so did the wind. Kevin glanced carefully over his shoulder. But the girl immediately jumped up. "Wait a second!" he shouted and ran after her. “It's good to see you again, Kev,” she said. Kevin notices a brief sparkle in her eyes. That's when he realized his tricky situa tion. Kev thought of the damn hangover that made him forget her name and how he would rather die of shame than have to ask her for it again. Luckily, the awkward silence was quickly broken by her murmur as she spotted the sandstorm's culprit.
It was a helicopter that had landed in the middle of the desert. A creature wea ring an old leather jacket and a floppy brown hat stepped out of it and walked up to them. It was followed by two burly red kangaroos and although it could not have been more than 40 cm tall, every one of its steps was powerful. "Is this a baby kanga roo?" asked Kev. "No, it's a mala, Kev!" she laughed.
That's how you decided last time:
1. KEV PROTECTS THE GIRL - 43%
2. HE HUGS HER - 35%
3. HE RUNS AWAY - 22%
Scan & read all previous chapters.
"Well, well, whaddya know. It appears new guests have arrived!" said the mala. "Welcome, my friends. Let me introduce myself. I'm Rocky, the world's greatest ad venturer. I assume you've been led here by pursuing my message." Before Kevin could even utter a response, Rocky continued, "Mates, let's not get sunburnt. Follow me. You must be hungry."
Rocky put his hand in a small hole in a rock next to them, something clicked, and the ground opened to reveal a hidden stairway. The way down was pleasantly cool, and the route led them past a long corridor with various rooms. Suddenly, a ray of sharp sunlight blinded Kev and in
front of him was a giant window with a view of the beautiful blue ocean. "Make yourselves at home," Rocky said. One hour later, Kev and the girl sat on a terrace, both their tummies growling in harmony until a wombat interrupted their concert of starvation. "Ms. Kate, Mr. Kevin, what can I get you for dinner?" Kev chuckled to himself. "Kate… what a beautiful name!" The last ray of warm sunlight touched them before it began to set. Kate’s fur sparkled with freshness and her big blue eyes were alight with happiness. For Kevin life suddenly felt easy and good.

Charlotte from Canberra $65,783
WHO SAID SIPPING WINE ON THE COUCH DOESN’T PAY?
Wine time on the couch is normally uneventful for Charlotte. But on this particular Tuesday evening, things changed when she hit $65,783 playing our pokies. "I couldn't believe it when I saw I’d won", said Charlotte. "I had to stare at it for a few minutes to make sure I wasn't seeing things"! Now, thanks to her big payout, Charlotte is finally buying her dream car – a red convertible with a leopard print interior. Puurrrfect.
BECAUSE WINNING ONCE IN 2022 ISN’T ENOUGH…
Winning once just wasn't enough for our West Oz mate Tom – he had to go and do it again! This time, our big spinner saw his balance blow up after a massive $30,845 win during his lunch break at work. And while that might not be enough money to say "Get stuffed" to the boss, it's more than enough for a luxurious Christmas and New Year ski vacation to North America! Just don't forget to activate mobile roaming while you're there, Tom. We'd hate for you to miss a spin!
Beverly from Hobart $19,254
THE CHAMPAS FROM THE TOP SHELF PLEASE, MR. WAITER!
If there's one person who knows how to celebrate, it's long-time Fair Go member Beverly. She recently got a hot tip from one of our live chat legends for a certain game. And low and behold it paid off BIG. Her total winnings? A cool $19,254. Upon scoring this insane payout, she booked a table at the fanciest restaurant in town and broke the news to her hubby Dale over a bottle of champas. Needless to say, the next day's hangover was pretty wicked (but easier to bear when we’re picking up the tab).

NEED A NEW WAY TO STAY COOL THIS SUMMER?
Phew... summer in Oz is always a scorcher. Fortunately, there are more than a few ways to cool down. From air-cons to fans and good ol' Zooper Doopers, you needn't go far to lower your core temp.
But if you're seeking a new way to keep cool this summer, ice bath therapy might be the go. Just fill up the tub with cold water and ice and jump in. Sure, that initial shock is a real doozy, but manage to overcome it and you'll not only cool down – you'll feel refreshed, relaxed and re-energised once you get out. Trust us... it's addictive!
CORAL REEFS ARE (ALMOST) BACK, BABY!
This just in: coral reefs in the Sunburnt Country are coming back in a BIG way! In fact, scientists have discovered that parts of our Great Barrier Reef have recorded their highest levels of coral cover since monitoring began nearly four decades ago. And while there's still a way to go before the reef is back to its glory days, this news gives us hope that she'll bounce back even stronger than before. So if that gets you stoked, grab your snorkel and flippers and go for a dive this summer, because the more you immerse yourself in the underwater world, the more you'll appreciate it's importance!
WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE CLEAREST WATER IN AUSTRALIA?
Nothing says "Jump in me" like crystal clear water on a deserted beach. So beautiful, so appealing, so transparent! But where can you find the clearest water in Australia? That title goes to Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, Queensland. The water resembles a sparkling sapphire. And the sand is also 98% pure silica, so it's as white as white can be. Just remember to bring a big hat, sunscreen and your sunnies. If there's one downside to clear water and pure white sand, it's that the sun reflects off them both so brightly that you'll be burned in places you didn't even know existed.
“ Coral reefs are coming back in a BIG way! ”
Insider CASINO
Do you like to gamble? How about winning big? If so, you may want to meet some of the richest gamblers in the world! These individuals have made a fortune by betting on games of chance, and they aren't afraid to risk it all. So who exactly are these princes of punting?
1 2
(net worth: $1 billion)
You don't have to be a genius to win when it comes to betting... but it helps. Take Bill Benter for example – he amassed his fortune by betting on blackjack and horse races, but he also holds a degree in physics and mathematics. However, the flipside of these talents is that due to his incredible card counting abilities, all Las Vegas casinos have banned him.
Edward Thorp (net worth: $800 million)
Speaking of card counting, Edward Thorp is considered the father of this shady practice. He made his fortune on blackjack and baccarat. In addition, he's also a mathematician and was previously an accomplished university professor. Needless to say, he's making much better money as a professional gambler.
Andrew Black
(net worth: $670 million)
An entrepreneur-cum-betting legend, Andrew Black became a full-time punter once his gambling winnings surpassed his business earnings. His real success, however, came when he developed an algorithm to predict horse races. This led to him founding Betfair – one of the biggest online bookmakers in the world.
cing. The Australian native also holds the record for the biggest win on keno ever at roughly $7.5 million. Like Edward Thorp though, Ranogajec's betting prowess has seen him banned from all major casinos in Australia and Las Vegas.
Zeljko Ranogajec
(net worth: $439 million)
Blackjack hall of fame and perennial pest, Zeljko Ranogajec has won on everything from blackjack to horse ra-

Billy Walters (net worth: $250 million)
Last but not least we have Billy Walters – an ex-used car salesman and ex-con with an impressive three-decade winning streak in Las Vegas and a reputation for placing wagers on NFL, football and basketball, and making really good prison toilet wine (jokes).
Feng Shui AND OUR PREDICTIONS GOING INTO 2023
For those who don't know, Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement. It is said that by following the principles of Feng Shui, you can create harmony and balance in your life, and bring good luck and wealth. But how exactly do you Feng Shui your space? It's simple.
There are five elements in Feng Shui: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each element represents a different aspect of your life, and each one should be placed in a specific area of your home or office. Now, we're not Fung Shui experts – heck, Kev the Koala doesn't even know how to use chopsticks! But if there's even the slightest chance that Feng Shui could bring us some good luck, then we're all for it.
Better yet, a bit of Feng Shui will give you the confidence to spin more, take risks and hit those big jackpots. And who doesn't want that? We sure do. But we also want to hear a few of your predictions going into 2023. At Fair Go, we foresee another cracking year of big wins, happy customers and good times. We also predict that the New Year will bring more amazing pokies, and huuuuuge bonuses your way.
So make sure you keep an eye out for all the latest and greatest from Fair Go in 2023. And remember to Feng Shui the heck out of your living space whilst also keeping lucky numbers like 7 and lucky days such as Wednesday in mind.
Oh... and don't forget either that Feng Shui isn't just good for your online casino success – it also impacts your health and love life. Come to think of it, here's a bold prediction for 2023: maybe we rename ourselves Feng Shui casino?
