| The Game
of Casino Slot Machines |
There is no skill involved when playing a slot machine. You simply
pull the lever or click your mouse and the reels spin. They then stop
and the resulting combination of symbols either means you win or you
don't.
All slot machines whether online or at a land based casino work the
same way. They all have a computer chip inside of them which is known
as a Random Number Generator or RNG for short. It is the RNG that
contains all the outcomes of the reels.
An interesting fact is that the combination that you see when the
reels stop spinning was decided the moment you presses the button
or pulled the lever. The actual spinning of the reels is entirely
for entertainment value.
How To Play a Slot Machine
After you have selected a slot machine to play you must first make
sure you have credits or coins in the machine. Usually online
your account balance is either in the machine or available to deposit
into your selected slot game.
You then press spin and away you go. That's it. There are however
a couple of considerations to make regarding how much to bet on each
spin. In general you want to make sure you press the "Max Bet"
button on the slot before you play.
Max Bet simply means the maximum amount of virtual coins per spin.
The reason we recommend that you play max bet is that many slots have
a higher pay but if you play max bet. Don't give the casino a higher
advantage by playing less than max.
Types Of Slot Machines
There are 5 main categories of slot machines, all of them offer different
variations on the standard three reel slot game and some of them
have extra games.
Type 1 : The Classic Slot
The classic slot is what we call the standard three reel, single line
slot machine. These types of slots have been around in one form or
another for decades.
Type 2 : The Progressive Slot
Progressive slots don't have a fixed jackpot level. The jackpot grows
depending on how much the game is played. This way huge jackpots can
mount up.
Type 3 : The Multi line Slot
This includes any slot machine with more than one pay line. The amount
of lines can range anywhere between 2 and 20.
Type 4 : The 5 Reel Slot
Now becoming very popular are the 5 reel slots. They are more often
than not video slots with up to 9 lines. Online, 5 reel games are
now starting to become common.
Type 5 : The Bonus Feature Slot
The latest slot game inovation is the bonus feature. This means that
the slot has an additional way to win in the form of free spins or
a second screen bonus game.
