Rules Slots is the easiest casino game to
learn and play. It's also one of the online casinos'
most popular game the rules to slots betting are
quite simple First you place your bet. Typically you can
bet one, two or more coins (up to five or ten on some
slot machines). Depending on the machine, the coins may
be $.05, $0.5, $5 or other values. So if you bet five
coins on a $1 machine, your bet is five dollars.
Next you click a button to spin the wheels. This is
the same as pulling the arm on a real
slot machine. Now all you do is wait and see if you win!
The result of each spin of the wheels is determined by
a computer program that generates
random results. This is true for both online slots games
and slot machines found in terrestrial
casinos. The machines can easily be set by the casino to
generate whatever payout they choose.
For example, they may set it to 96%. That means for every
100 dollars bet, the machine will,
on average, pay out 96 dollars. The other four dollars
goes to the casino and that's how they
make their profit. Of course, that’s just on
average. It’s possible, if Lady Luck is on your
side,
to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars with just
one spin.
There is a horizontal line across the window of the
slot machine. If a certain combination
falls on the horizontal line when the reels stop, you are
a winner. Payouts vary by machine.
Slots generally fall into two categories - straight
slots betting and progressive slots
betting. A straight slot will pay your winning
combinations according to a predetermined
schedule. A progressive slot machine will pay you in a
similar way unless you hit the
progressive jackpot. When you hit the slots jackpot, you
typically win a huge sum of
money. In a progressive slots betting game, a percentage
of each coin dropped in the
slot machine is added to the jackpot. If no one hits a
jackpot in a while, it can grow
to be quite large. (Some pooled jackpots in Las Vegas go
up to millions of dollars.)
It is this large progressive jackpot that is often
times the main lure for many slot
players. You may go a long while without making much
money, but if you hit the big
one, then you instantly win a horde of cash. It's a
pretty attractive proposition,
and an irresistible one for the true gambler
Some online casinos offer so-called progressive
jackpots. That means that a jackpot
builds as more and more players play the casino's
progressive machines. The first
person to hit the winning combination (e.g. 777 or
others) wins the total jackpot.
To be eligible for the jackpot you usually have to play
the maximum number of coins.
Then the jackpot resets to a lower value and starts to
increase again as more people play.
