There's little doubt that poker is still the royal flush in many casinos as it continue to enjoy the best and most number of players. The online platform however is opening up new avenues for the slot machines. Unlike poker which rely on the playing athmosphere a lot, slot machines were meant to be played alone making it better suited for online play. This small advantage is sparking an influx of creative online slot machines.
It
will be mere waste of time if we try
to categorize slot machines. Since each
casino tries to attract players by the
wide selection of one arm bandits, there
are hundreds of different types and
variations - single line, three line,
3 or 5 reel, progressives, bonus games
and many others.
All we can do is to list some parameters
that can be used while describing
a slot machine, including online slots
Multiplier slot machines
A multiplier slot machine doesn't
have a jackpot, but the payback for
additional coins is a multiple of
the payback for a single coin.
Double slot machines
Some slots have an additional wheel
that can be played after a win. So
a player has a 50/50 chance of doubling
(or losing) his/her winnings.
Nudge machines
Nudge machines have a light mounted
on them that comes on occasionally.
When it on, the player may move (nudge)
a wheel forward or backward one location
to get a certain combination of symbols
on the payline, so a losing bet can
become a winner. The house edge on
these machines is usually the same
as for regular slots.
Bonus games
The special prizes is waiting for
you if you get a special symbol combination
or collected certain symbols. If you
do, you will enter a bonus round.
Usually a player have to bet maximum
coins to qualify for the bonus round.
Wheel-of-Fortune Machines:
These machines have a special wheel
mounted on top. When the winning symbols
appears on the slot machine this wheel
spins and the player has a chance
at winning the wheel-of fortune jackpot.
