Slots Introduction

I
present
this Slots Introduction to include current slot
trends for all players who want to learn more about this exciting game.
Slots Introduction describes the three main groups of slots
at
online and land-based casinos.
Let’s begin our journey of the slots playground.
3 groups
of slots:
1. Basic
slots with a
single payline and constant jackpot.
2. Progressives
that
offer an ever-growing jackpot.
3. Bonus Added
Slots.
Additional features including multi-spins, 5 reels, multi-lines, bonus
games
and nudge-hold.
Basic Slots
Introduction:
Basic or
‘flat-top’ slots have a constant top jackpot that
does not change no matter how often
the machine is played.
The payline for basic slots is the single stripe on the
window where you see the reels spinning
and stopping.
You win or lose depending on what symbols stop
directly on
this payline.
Progressive Slots Introduction:
Once upon a
time, there were lottery tickets to build dreams
on and then in 1986, the first progressive slot was introduced.
This original network of slots was connected locally and
expanded internationally.
Online progressives are everywhere and can be linked from
one casino or linked through several online gaming sites.
There are many sites online that provide updated jackpot
totals for progressive slots.
Progressive slots, grouped by slot name (ex. Megamoola),
start at a minimum jackpot amount that increases as those machines are
played.
The growing jackpot draws from a percentage of total coin-in.
When
the big
strike arrives, the jackpot amount is reset to the minimum and the
process
starts all over again.
Bonus Slots Introduction:
Land-based:
The main goal of these games is to play the reels to win a
‘second chance’ bonus round where the real money is.
Bonus
Slots are easily identified for as you approach for
you immediately see many more graphics than a basic slot or
progressive--25
symbols or more filling up the screen.
The buttons in front of you offer up to 50
paylines.
Versions come in penny denominations up to $5. Payouts are much more
frequent,
usually every 2-3 spins.
There is usually an attractive
sprinkling of wild, scatter
pay and multiplier symbols that increase your winnings.
Drive a big rig through this online slot machine
and be the king of the
highway!
This 9-line bonus slot provides 41
winning
combinations.

Online Slots:
In a short period of time, many more slot selections have
been added online especially in this category that I call Bonus Added
Slots.
Here are some of the features and options offered players
online:
Multi-spins: games within a game. Play
2 or more games
within added reels at a multi-spin game.
5 Reels: more than extra reels, these slots provide options
such as wild, scatter pay and multipliers.
Multi-lines: up
to 40 paylines that includes multipliers,
wild symbols, scatter pay and progressive jackpots.
Bonus slots: free spins and a second bonus event. Test your
skills with these slots.
Fruit Machines: Nudge and hold
features allowing players to
either move symbols up or down or hold 1 or more reels for bonus
credits.
Denominations from penny to $5 are offered.
May you forever hear the sound of ‘raining coins’.
