How to play slots
Learning how to play the slots is easier than any other casino game. You need to understand the applicable paylines on the machines. And, you must know the winning combination of pictures and the payout for each combination as given in the chart. Then you need to have a planned betting pattern, so even if you lose on one payline, you might win on another one.
Slot machines in land based casinos generally accept payment in 3 forms. The first are coins, the second is a bill reader for 1's, 5's, 10's and all the way up to 100 dollar bills. The last is a more modern method. In the past slot machines would spit out coins when you cashed out. You then had to go to the cashier to get paper money or go to another machine and start plunking in your coins, but now when you cash out they print out a ticket which can be put into another machine or taken to a cashier.
In online casinos you play slots by paying through a registered account.
You win money from the slot machine if you have managed to make the bet in the payline for the winning combination of figures as given in the chart, and if the images that come up match with your bet.
- When you pull the slot lever and activate the machine, the three wheels rotate and you notice the three pictures change quickly.
- When the machine stops, the three final pictures on the slot machine screen are the final figures that are used to decide on the winning score.
- A chart that illustrates the winning combinations and their payout is displayed near the slot machine.
- If your score is one of those combinations, you'll hear the machine flicker and ring, and you'll obtain the payout in line with the specifications of the chart.
Some of the winnings can come with an additional free round in which you can get a free spin!
Here are the different types of slots in existence with a bit of note on what you do with each:
- Reel slots are the most familiar slots, and are identified by 3 to 5 reels on the slot screen. When you play slots of this type, the only method to win the jackpot is to slot in more number of coins per spin.
- Video Slots exercise only one coin at a time to play each round.
- 9 line slots are generally themed slots of different TV shows and personalities.
- High limit slots, where you pay high figures like $100 for each turn
- Low limit slots, where you can pay as little as one penny
