Introduction
to
Online
Slots

Slots
are
without
doubt
the
easiest
casino
game
you
can
play.
All
you
need
to
do
is
place
a
bet
and
hit
the
spin
button...the
machine
does
the
rest.
Its
reels
will
spin,
each
one
coming
to
a
rest
at
a
random
point,
and
depending
on
which
symbols
are
displayed
across
the
pay-lines,
you
win
or
lose.
And
playing
slots
online
is
no
harder
than
traditional
slots.
But
it
doesn't
hurt
to
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
online
slots
gambling
and
all
the
game
terminology.
So
here
goes...
The
Online
Slot
Machine
Slots
come
in
many
forms
and
offer
a
myriad
of
different
themes
but
essentially
they
are
all
pretty
much
the
same.
There
are
a
number
of
elements
that
are
present
for
all
slots,
and
these
are
illustrated
in
the
slot
machine
below.
All
slot
machines
will
have
reels
-
either
3,
5,
or
even
7.
The
machine
pictured
above
has
3.
The
reels
are
what
spin
when
the
bet/spin
button
is
hit.
All
slot
machines
will
have
pay-lines.
The
machine
pictured
above
has
5
pay-lines
but
this
will
also
vary
from
one
machine
to
the
next.
1,
3,
5
and
9
pay-lines
are
most
common
but
you
can
find
up
to
21
pay-lines
on
some
machines.
All
slot
machines
will
have
a
pay-table.
The
pay-table
will
either
be
on
the
game
consol,
as
it
is
on
the
above
machine,
or
available
on
a
consol
activated
second
screen.
The
pay-table
tells
you
what
combination
of
symbols
are
required
along
the
pay-lines
to
win
coins,
and
how
many
coins
you'll
win.
For
example,
in
the
above
game,
3
dollar
symbols
on
pay-line
5
(diagonal
bottom
left
to
top
right)
will
earn
you
6,000
coins.
All
slot
machines
will
have
a
bet
or
spin
button.
As
the
name
suggests,
hit
this
button
and
the
reels
will
spin
and
you're
in
the
game.
Most
online
slot
machines
will
have
a
coin
select.
Coin
choices
might
be
$0.25,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
for
example.
You
will
need
to
choose
what
coin
you
are
playing
with
(or
check
where
the
machine
is
set!)
before
you
hit
the
bet
button.
That's
pretty
much
it.
But
there
are
many
variations
on
the
above
elements
that
we'll
look
at
in
more
detail
below,
and
also
a
couple
of
special
features
that
you
should
know
about...
Reels
&
Pay-lines
The
most
common
game
you'll
find,
both
online
and
at
traditional
casinos,
is
the
3
reel,
single
pay-line
machine.
But
game
developers
are
getting
more
and
more
adventurous
with
slots
games.
Included
in
the
range
of
online
slots
games
we've
reviewed
here
at
Slots
Jackpots
.com,
and
that
you
can
play
online,
are:
-
3

1

-

The
number
of
reels
and
pay-lines
is
not
an
indicator
of
the
likely
return
that
a
machine
will
pay.
Coins
Most
online
slots
will
let
you
choose
the
value
of
the
coins
that
you
can
bet
with.`
Although
there
are
many
exceptions,
typical
coin
value
ranges
offered
are:
-
Microgaming
slots:
$0.25,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
per
coin.
-
Boss
Media
slots:
$0.25,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
per
coin.
-
Playtech
slots:
$0.05,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
per
coin.
-
Wagerlogic
slots:
$0.01,
$0.10,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
per
coin.
-
Odds
On
slots:
0.50,
$1,
$5
and
$10
per
coin.
Slot
machines
will
also
allow
to
play
more
than
one
coin
per
spin.
Singe
pay-line
machines
will
allow
you
to
play
2,
3,
4
or
5
coins
per
spin,
while
multiple
line
machines
will
let
you
play
one
coin
for
every
line.
So
for
each
spin,
your
possible
bet
amount
can
be
very
small,
or
quite
large.
Here
are
a
couple
of
examples:
-
You
have
a
choice
of
$0.25,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
per
coin,
on
3
reel,
single
line,
3
coin
machine.
In
this
case,
you
can
bet
one
$0.25
coin
for
a
total
bet
of
$0.25
per
spin,
or
three
$5
coins
for
a
total
bet
of
$15
per
spin.
-
You
have
a
choice
of
$0.01,
$0.10,
$0.50,
$1
and
$5
per
coin,
on
a
5
reel,
9
line
machine.
In
this
case,
you
can
bet
one
$0.01
coin
on
one
line
for
a
total
bet
of
$0.01
per
spin,
or
one
$5
coin
for
every
line
for
a
total
bet
$45
per
spin.
