Online Slots

What's not to love about online slot games! It's the widest selection of casino games imaginable. Every online casino out there boasts the largest selection of slots. Why? Because these are the casino games people love to play more than any other. And to fill that demand, online casinos have developed literally hundreds of slot games to keep their players happy and coming back for more. It can be a little daunting to someone who is new to online gambling, so what we'd like to do is to describe what each type of slot machine offers. The more you know about how the games are played and what to look for in a particular game, the better your chances of winning are.

Types of Slot Games:

Single Line Slots have Three Reels and One Payline. There are a set of winning combination of symbols that you will try for and each will pay off slightly different. Line these symbols up across the Payline and you win the amount designated for that combination of symbols.

Multi Line Slots take things a step further with the introduction of more Paylines, and in some cases more Reels too. You'll find more symbols and more winning combinations to try for as well. Some games have as many as Nine Reels and up to 40 Paylines.

Bonus Slots games can be Single Line, Multi Line or Progressive Slots. It simply means that a bonus round has been added to the game. In the bonus round you are given the chance to win more credits, free spins or even a multiplier feature that multiplies your bet by a specific number for completing the bonus round.

Feature Slots offer Wilds, Multipliers, Bonuses and some even have interactive mini animation movies that have a story line. These slots can be any amount of Reels and Paylines.

Progressive Slots are the biggest paying slot games that have a player contributed jackpot. Progressive Slots are offered through several casinos that use the same software. For example, all of the Microgaming Casinos have the same Progressive Slots like Major Millions or Cash Splash. When the jackpot in one of these games is won, that particular game in every casino that offers it, is reset to start over and the jackpot continues to grow until someone else wins it. Every time a player makes a wager on one of these Progressive Jackpot games, a small portion of the wager is contributed to the jackpot. From this you can see that the jackpots can grow to enormous amounts, many going over $1 Million.

With the popularity of online slots, casinos strive to satisfy the demand for new games on a regular basis. Many online casinos release these and other new casino games monthly. As soon as new games come out, it's a mad dash to the casinos to be among the first to play the new games. A general consensus in that the new games are looser when they are first released. Whether this is true or not is anybody's guess, but I do know that I'm right there in the casino waiting for the newest releases.
