.
Choosing stake amounts for straight
slots (single and or multi-payline machines_ is simply
done by clicking on the + or - symbols where the wager
box is on the playing screen. Choosing the number of
paylines to bet on is simply done by clicking on a
button that says "Bet Max" (meaning play all paylines at
once) or by clicking the "Bet One" tab. Each time this
button is clicked, a payline will be highlighted or
checked. For instance, on a slot machine with nine
paylines and a maximum bet of $5, if a player chooses to
play the maximum wager on 3 paylines, they will do so by
insuring $5 appears in the stake box and by clicking the
"Bet One" button three times. The total wager on this
bet will be $15 on a single spin ($5 x 3). If the
player chose all nine paylines, the wager would be 9 x
$5 = $45. Each payline has its own chance of winning,
and will therefore payout on an individual basis
according to the payout table. If multiple paylines win
at once, the machine will highlight which lines are
winners, and will add all the winnings together,
displaying the total in a box that says "Win". (Online
slots usually do not show the symbols for all the
paylines, especially when more than three lines are
picked - However, they will show the number
corresponding to each payline on one side of the machine
with a line running from the payline number through the
the winning combo symbols shown on the playing screen)
Because there are more reels and paylines, does not
equate to less chances of winning. The number of
symbols and frequency of each, as well as the varied
symbol combinations will ultimately effect the odds of
winning. Usually, the more reels there are, the fewer
symbols there are composing each reel. Another point to
remember about straight slot machines is that many of
them will have a bonus multiplier, which will award a
bonus on winning combinations - but only if all
the paylines are bet on a single spin.
After all betting amounts and
paylines are settled, the player will click on the
"Spin" button. At this point, all the reels will
commence spinning, followed by a display of results and
winnings. Some online slots engage a separate payline
at the bottom of a series of multiple paylines, which
solitarily spins after the player clicks the Spin tab.
These are called multi-spin slots. After the results of
this single payline are displayed, the player then has
an option of putting a 'Hold' on any of the symbols. If
the player chooses to do so, they will click on a button
that says 'Hold' directly underneath the symbol. All
empty payline spaces of the reel put on hold will then
adopt this symbol. The player will then click the
'Spin' tab again, and all reels not put on hold will
begin spinning for the selected paylines. If the player
does not like any of the symbols produced on the initial
spin of the multi-spin game, the hold tabs should not be
engaged. Rather, the player would click 'Spin' again,
and all reels of the chosen paylines will begin spinning
without Holds.
Progressive online slot machines
operate according to the same rules and principles,
except these slots award winnings based on a percentage
of the jackpot, which is networked with thousands of
other online slot machines in several online casinos at
once. As would be expected, these jackpots usually
climb into the hundreds of thousands of dollars - some
in the millions. The key point to remember about
progressive slot machines is that in order to be
eligible for the large jackpot, the player must bet the
maximum number of paylines and stake amount on a single
spin. If the player hits a jackpot winning combo and
did not bet the maximum on the machine, the jackpot will
be paid out considerably lower than if all the
paylines were staked at their maximum. This can get
expensive - but has the potential of producing large
winners. Usually, the more the jackpot is, the more the
betting size is. Players should find a happy medium
they can afford in stake amounts when playing
progressive slots. If this entails selecting a machine
with a lower maximum wager, this should be carried
through - For the maximum bet is always considered the
best option at online slots. For more on this, please
