Slots machines have been around since
the early 1800's and are as varied as their numbers. The first machines
had only three reels and 20 symbols. Today's slot machines have anywhere
from 3 to 9 or more reels and upwards of 100 symbols and take as little
as a nickel to play or as much as $100 a pull. Online casinos offer slots
and have a tremendous clientele or player base. Die-hard slot players
can tell you which are the best online casinos to play slots at, dependant
on the casino software, the payout schedule, the coin size and whether
there is chat capabilities available. Remember those are opinions and
everyone's is different and may or may not work for you. As a beginner
you need to develop your on insight into slots and this is where I come
in. With the information here, you will be able to play with the best
of them, and determine for yourselves which casinos and which games are
best suited to you.
Slots Basics:
Determine your budget first, select a game that you feel comfortable with,
there are many many online slot games and each comes with it's own theme
and design so your choices are nearly unlimited. Some pick a particular
game because they like the name of the game, some choose a new game thinking
that the game is looser, the choice is entirely yours. Always consider
the payout and the coin amount in your decision.
Look at the payout table located on the top of the machine at about eye
level. Study the symbols and what each will pay you should you win that
combination. You have a choice of betting one, two or three coins on most
machines. Some have a two coin max. Whatever the coin max, bet the max.
You don't want to be sitting there stunned when you hit that top winning
combination only to realize you didn't get the jackpot because you were
one coin shy of the max bet required.
Next you want to begin your play by inserting your money. Slot machines
will accept coins or bills and payout in coins or a credit slip that you
take to the cashier to get paid. After your first spin glance back up
at the payout table to compare your spin to what is showing there. You
would have seen and heard the bells and whistles had you hit a winning
combination of a large size. But by keeping yourself familiar with exactly
what you are trying to achieve, you can start to play a bit more relaxed
and naturally and spin the reels with more confidence.
Slots Payouts:
The payouts on slots can be very confusing to the novice. In general,
a good rule of thumb to remember is that the lower the bet such on nickel
slots, the lower the payout.

Coin | Payout

5¢ | 92.5%

25¢ | 94.1%

$1 | 95.9%

$5 | 98.4%
