Bonus Slots Questions
by John Grochowski
There are plenty of Bonus Slots Questions as casino players
explore these special brand of machines.
This lesson is
created with a
statement, three questions and the answer/explanation.
Bonus slots
versions have been the fastest growing segment in
offline
gaming for years, and they’re a natural for online gaming.
Let’s
begin with the first of five statements.
1. Modern slot
machines:
A. Are always pure games of chance.
B. Sometimes incorporate elements of knowledge or skill
C. Are mostly tests of skill
1. B. Sometimes
incorporate elements of knowledge or skill.
These games have traditionally been games of pure chance,
but a few modern games allow the player to influence bonus slots
paybacks
with
knowledge or skill. One prime example is Progressive Gaming’s (formerly
Mikohn)
Ripley's Believe It or Not.
In the bonus round, the player sees trivia questions with
multiple-choice answers. Bonus slots payouts are higher for correct
answers
than for
incorrect responses.
2. A combination that
pays off even if the symbols aren't on the same line is called:
A. A scatter pay
B. A wild-card jackpot
C. A programming error
2. A.
A scatter pay. One of the charms of
video machines is that players can find themselves with a nice
win when they
least expect it. Part of it is that players sometimes have difficulty
sorting
out all the paylines featured on five-reel bonus slots games, and just
don't
see the
winning combinations unfolding. But sometimes the payoff is just a
complete
surprise, because it comes from symbols that aren't adjacent on any
line.
Many games incorporate scatter pays, in which a symbol is
designated to bring a payoff whenever a certain number lands on the
screen.
Sometimes it takes as few as two like symbols to launch a scatter pay,
although
three is more typical. Scatter pays then get larger if the screen shows
four or
five of the designated symbols.
The
fearless leader of this voyage, the Captain, is the wild symbol and you
can be sure he will make his presence
known during the adventure.
3. On a video machine, if
the reels fade from the screen and are replaced by another scene,
the player is getting:
A. A second-screen bonus
B. Taken to the cleaners
C. A double-or-nothing challenge
3. A. A
second-screen bonus. Bonus rounds are the most interactive portions of
video
slots. When the player hits a particular combination on the first
screen, the
reels fade and is replaced by a scene with the bonus slots game. It's
all
designed to
keep the player active, interested--and in his or her seat.
4. American slot
designers:
A. Developed the modern video version with scatter pays and
bonus rounds in the early 1990s
B. Were inspired to move into video by the success of
Australian manufacturers
C. Stick to three-reelers, and leave the video to
overseas slot designers
4. B. Were
inspired to move into video by the success of Australian designers.
Multiline, multicoin slots with scatter pays and other
bonuses were well established in Australia
and in Pacific Rim nations by the
time Aristocrat
brought them to the American market in 1996.
5. Compared with
three-reel slots, five-reel bonus games:
A. Have fewer winning spins that return less than the amount
wagered
B. Have more winning spins that return less than the amount
wagered
C. Have about the same percentage of winning spins that
return less than the amount wagered
5. B. Have more
winning spins that return less than the amount wagered.
On three-reel slots, most wins are for several times the
amount wagered, but less than 20 percent of spins will be winners. On
five-reel
bonus slots, 30, 40, even 50 percent of spins or more might bring some
return,
but the majority will be for less than the size of the bet.
