Casino slots online free bonus rounds

As with the original slot machines, money is deposited and the player pulls a handle or presses a button. The difference now is that there are many more options and opportunities in the way you bet. Because it’s a video screen and not an actual machine, the features and options are limited to the designer’s imagination. The Video Slots consist of buttons while online video slots consist of screens and icons to click. Because many of these have an assortment of ways to win it is recommended the player reads up on the game and its options.

Rules

Because of its simplicity and one person playing against the machine/computer, there really aren’t too many rules that the player needs to follow. Don’t kick the “machine” and don’t play more than one “machine” when the casino is crowded.

Strategy

As there is no skill involved in playing Video Slots it is hard to create a suitable strategy. Obviously each player has their own way of playing from using all paylines, playing the maximum or minimum, automatic play, etc. The strategy is of course to win, and from my experience many wins and losses happen in streaks. To limit your loses and maximize your gains, you must have the ability to walk away when you are streaking and remember to never be embarrassed to walk away with a profit.

Terms

Some terms are interchangeable with the original slot machines, but of course with new technology comes new terms. Paylines, payout, pay table, scatter symbols, wild symbols, reels, multiplier, bonus, free spins, progressive jackpot, bonus feature, coin size, payout percentage, max bet, second screen and hit.

Variations of Video Slots

Technology as given Video Slots the ability to transform themselves into games which hardly resemble the old 3 reel slots. One of the most common is the 5 reel slot, which although has just 2 more reels, can significantly transform the way a player bets and wins. With the ability to have multiple paylines, the player has an increased chance to win on more spins with payouts even occurring from diagonal combinations. Although the return is lower, the game is more exciting and keeps the players engaged. Also some slots give the player a chance to increase their winnings with a Double button after each winning spin. This takes the player to another screen (second screen) where they can pick a symbol to double or even quadruple their money.

Progressive jackpot slots are another example of the new technology of videos. A specific amount of money builds over the course of the game, if the player hits, a large sum is paid out to the player and the jackpot will usually reset to zero.

Variations can also come in the form of a themed slot, which is based on anything from a movie to super heroes to TV series. Sometimes these games incorporate the theme into the bonuses and features, while others just use the title to attract new players.
