Online Slots

Types of slots and the basic rules

Slots have become one of the most popular casino games that people play online. There are many versions and varieties available, though they can be broadly classified into the following categories:

• Classic Slots - Here, the game is very much like an old-fashioned slot machine. There are simple buttons and the symbols are classical. The buttons are for spinning, selecting the betting amount, choosing the number of lines the player wants to use and collecting the cash. This is no frills, old-style gambling for players that feel a bit nostalgic. The symbols are classic slots symbols like 7’s, bells and cherries. 7’s give the largest payout or jackpot while the cherries give the smallest. There are no bonus features or Wilds like in other types of slots.
• Video Slots - The rules for this game and classic slots remain the same. Players need to get certain combinations to get a prise. However, the difference is that while classic slots have reels, here, the reels and lines are on a flat screen. Video slots have bonus games and rounds built into them like spread out symbols, where the winning combination is not restricted to one single line. Wilds are another of the popular features. They offer free spins and other exciting bonuses.
• Drum Slots - When players play slots for free, one must not forget about the so-called ’drum slots.’ These are three or five reel machines with a variety of symbols on them. There can even be spaces. There are many that offer multiple line betting, which increases the chances of winning. The maximum jackpot can be won when you place the maximum number of bets on the largest number of lines. Other winning combinations are provided for either above or below the game.
