Fruit machines are highly popular in the UK and while they may be
a fun way to play they are well known for not offering the biggest
prizes. If you want similar action but have the chance to win prizes
that can be over £1,000,000 in a single spin then you should
definitely look to play online slot machines.
Types
of Slot Machines Online
There are a host of different slot game variations found
online. Each have their pros and cons so if you are new to slots we
would recommend trying out a few different varieties to see what you
like best. There a five main categories that we can classify slots,
these are; Progressive, Spinning Reel, Multi-line, 5 Reel and Bonus
Video Slots.
Progressive slots tend to have the highest jackpots because the top
prize grows as people play. A percentage of every bet gets added to
the jackpot. For this reason the progressives have the lowest payout
percentages. If you don't hit the top jackpot these slots can be hard
on your bankroll.
Spinning reel slots consist of three spinning reels and a single pay
line. Of course online the reels are virtual but these games closely
resemble their land based counterparts. Popular examples include the
Double and Triple Diamonds games from IGT.
As the name suggests multi-line slot machines have more than one winning
line. This can be anything from two to fifty. Games with more lines
tend to cost more to play but you also have many more ways to win
on each spin. In a crossover for this category are 5 reel slots. These
games have five spinning reels instead of three and always have between
five and twenty five lines.
The finally and latest category of slots is the Bonus Video variety.
These games have five reels and offer some sort of addition way to
win in the form of a bonus game. These bonus games can be anything
from winning free spins, skill based games and pick a box style bonus
screens. These slots have become a popular pick with many players.
How To Play Slot Machines
There are no real tricks to playing these random games. Simply insert
money, choose your bet size and press spin. The reels then spin and
when they stop you are awarded prizes for any symbol combinations
you line up. While there are many sites on the Internet claiming to
be selling unbeatable slots systems in reality there is no way to
beat a game that works on a totally random outcome.
One of the keys to getting the most out of your slot play is to spend
some time reading the payout table and learning the games features
and betting requirements. For example on progressive slots you need
to play max bet to qualify for the top jackpot prize. Other games
may require a certain bet level to activate any bonuses. Avoid disappointment
by taking a moment to study the game before playing.
