Aristocrat is a games company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code ASX:ALL. It employs more than 7,400 people, and its work runs well beyond pokies. Knowing how the company is organised explains where the nine online pokies at ii89 fit.
Aristocrat describes its products in five groups:
Aristocrat Gaming is organised by region, covering ANZ (Australia and New Zealand), Asia, the USA, LATAM and EMEA. Its game list is where you will find every title on this page.
Aristocrat Interactive provides a platform for the regulated online real-money industry.
Product Madness is the third business Aristocrat names alongside the other two.
Because Aristocrat makes real-money, land-based and free-to-play products, a video or guide you find elsewhere may describe a different setting from the one you open. The info panel inside each game at ii89 sets out the rules and RTP that apply to your spins.
Choose Aristocrat in the provider filter and the ii89 lobby, one of 6,000+ casino games, narrows to these nine. The table shows how each pays and the figures that review sites agree on. Where a cell sends you to the game's info panel, the sources did not line up, so we leave the gap rather than guess. No max win is published for any of them.

Game details: Aristocrat Gaming game list ↗
An Egyptian-themed game on 5×3 reels with fixed pay lines. Scatter wins award free games, and in those free games the wilds carry multipliers. Its agreed RTP is 94.88%.
The odd one out in two ways. It is the only game here on 1,024 ways, and the only one with an agreed high volatility rating. Sunset wilds substitute on the reels, and scatters award between 8 and 20 free games, where wilds add a 2x or 3x multiplier. RTP: 94.85%.
Five pay lines on a 5×3 grid, with a kangaroo wild, free spins and a gamble feature. Its 97.04% RTP is the highest agreed figure among the nine.
Twenty-five pay lines across five reels and a medium volatility rating. Three or more dynamite scatters start the free spins. Its RTP is shown in the game's info panel.
243 ways on 5×3 reels. When free games start, you decide the shape of the round: more spins with lower multipliers, or fewer spins with higher ones. Agreed RTP: 95.17%.
The widest line game here, with 50 pay lines on five reels and a free-games feature. Agreed RTP: 94.71%, the lowest of the six agreed figures.
243 ways on five reels. Gold ingot scatters open a choice of five free-games options, so this game gives you more say over the bonus than any other in the list. Check its RTP in the info panel.
243 ways on 5×3 reels with a free-spins feature and an agreed RTP of 95.19%, second only to Big Red here.
Fixed pay lines on five reels. Three or more scatters award 15 free spins with every win tripled, and a gamble feature is offered after a win. Its RTP is listed in the info panel.
Start here for a line game where the bonus matters most. Wins in the base game come along the fixed pay lines, but the free games are where the wild multipliers come in, so a scatter win is the moment to watch for. With an agreed RTP of 94.88%, it is fourth of the six agreed figures.
Buffalo suits players who accept quiet stretches. With 1,024 ways, small wins can come from symbols anywhere in neighbouring columns, but the high volatility rating means bigger results arrive less often. The free games run for 8 to 20 spins, and any wild that helps a win there adds a 2x or 3x multiplier.
A good pick once you know how 243 ways works. It shares that ways count with 5 Dragons and Choy Sun Doa, so the base game will feel familiar if you have played either, and its free-spins rules are set out in the info panel. Its 95.19% RTP is the second highest agreed figure on this page.
Aristocrat's nine online pokies at ii89 use two pay systems. Big Red (5 lines), Where's the Gold (25), 50 Lions (50), Queen of the Nile and Geisha pay along set lines, so a win needs matching symbols on one of those paths. The 243-ways games, 5 Dragons, Choy Sun Doa and Dragon Emperor, count three positions on each of five reels, which multiplies out to 243 combinations. Buffalo has four positions per reel, which gives 1,024. On a ways game, matching symbols on neighbouring reels pay in any row, so you do not track lines at all.
Neither system is better. Line games make each win easy to read; ways games give you more paying combinations on every spin. Pick the one you find easier to follow, then check the total bet on screen before you spin.
A games studio usually supplies an online casino with more than one RTP setting for a title, and the casino chooses which to run. That is how one Aristocrat pokie can be quoted with different figures across sites. ii89 runs every Aristocrat game on its default setting, the highest one the studio supplies, and the info panel shows the figure for the version you are playing.
Treat RTP as a long-run average across a very large number of spins. Big Red's 97.04% and 50 Lions' 94.71% differ by just over two percentage points over millions of rounds, but neither tells you how a single evening will go.
ii89 supports demo play, so every one of the nine can be opened with practice credits. A demo uses the same rules as the real-money version, but its credits have no cash value and its results carry no weight for real play.
Deposits start at AU$10 by PayID and land instantly. You can also deposit with eZeeWallet, Apple Pay or Google Pay, which are deposit-only methods. Withdrawals by PayID, Skrill, Neteller or Payz land within 5 minutes, from a minimum of AU$30. The ii89 banking guide compares every method, and the PayID guide walks through a PayID deposit.
ii89 runs an AU$59.88 daily VIP bonus and a 30% Sunday bonus. Both are listed on the ii89 promotions page with the steps to claim them.
ii89 works in the browser on your phone, so the nine Aristocrat pokies open on iPhone and Android with the same account and balance as on a computer. The info panel is reached from inside each game on mobile too, so you can check RTP and free-games rules before every session.
Compare Aristocrat with the Novomatic and Pragmatic Play guides, or see how JILI and JDB titles play. The ii89 provider guide lists every studio, and free pokies covers demo play across the site.
