Online slots are extremely popular among gamblers nowadays. And this is so mainly because online slots are the one and only online gambling games where you can make a fortune by wagering small anount of money. And they are also really easy to play. Thus, you can win at online slots $500,000 or more by setting a bet as low as $1. That sounds enticing, doesn’t it? Besides the big jackpots, the interesting graphics and the various imaginative themes have also contributed in making online slots the the most popular games one can play online.
Gamblers could play slots online for the first time in 1996. The first available online slots were 3 reel ones. But with the passing of time more and more kinds of slots have become available for for players worldwide.
There are many sorts of online slots available nowadays and they can be classified according to features like: the number of reels, the number of lines, the free spin option, the bonus feature or a second screen as well as the progressive jackpot. Moreover, online slots have become so popular also because they can be played from home, as all that has to be done is to download the software (from an online casino a player chooses), install it and register. Also, until getting in familiar with the game you can play online slots for free (most of online casinos feature a so-called “free play” option). And, you should encounter any problems, most of online casinos have customer services that will assist you 24/7.
The classic online slots feature 3 reels and they are quite simple as they usually have only one pay line. Multi-line video slots games, on the other hand, feature up to 25 pay lines. They attract so many players because they feature interesting themes (such as “Tomb Raider” for instance). There are some multi-line video slots where you can wager as little as 1 penny/line. What you have to remember about multi-line slots is that if you wager more coins there will be more paylines (a payline is a line of matching slot symbols, otherwise known as a winning line) activated and thus you will have more chances to win.
Bonus feature slots games are some of the most popular ones due to the fact that they have a second screen game which can be started off by forming certain combinations. These slots are called “bonus slots” because they allow you to win some additional coins. When playing progressive jackpot slots you should always wager the maximum bet (as you can win much more when you achieve the winning combination if you do so). Also, it is worth taking into account that the jackpot values of the progressive slots get higher with each bet that is made(that’s why they are called “progressive jackpot” slots).
When playing slots there are some terms you might run into. Thus, the “coin size” refers to the amount you can wager (a nickel, a quarter, a dime or a dollar). A “hit rate” is the rate at which winning and non-winning spins occur. A “max bet” is the highest number of coins you can wager for a spin. The term “hold” refers to the percentage from the wagered amounts that online casinos keep as a profit (online casinos hold up to 5% ). The “payout percentage” refers to the average percentage that has been paid out to the players in a certain period. The “RNG” (or the random number generator) is a microchip which generates the combinations during each spin. A “top prize”I s the highest amount a player can win on a certain kind of slots game. A “winning combination” is the combination that is required in order to win the game. And finally, a wild symbol is the one that can be changed with any other symbol in order to create a winning combination.
To conclude we will say that online slots are really entertaining games which you will find really easy to play.
