This type of machines is in many ways similar to the first slot machines. It first appeared in the beginning of the 1970s and is still going strong in terms of popularity. You can find a vast collection of them online. These have a flat game screen instead of spinning wheels. Because these machines are so popular, a lot of varieties were introduced, and a whole range of symbols have replaced the classic numbers or fruits.
Laws of mathematics
After the player places a bet, a set of numbers appears on the screen. It is generated by a special pseudo-random numbers generator, which is based on the strict laws of mathematics.
The buttons that are used to control the game flow are the same as in classic slot machines:
- ’Spin’ – starts the game;
- 'Bet' – select the bet size;
- 'N-Lines' – the number of lines in the game (where winning combination could also be assembled on the central and additional lines);
- ’Line number 1 (2, 3, etc)’ – this button allows the player to select the number of lines used for determining the outcome;
- 'Collect' – stops the game and removes the deposit
Wider opportunities – wider the game
Normally video slots can have up to five wheels spinning and up to a hundred lines, which are all considered to determine the winning combinations. Similarly, machines could be all joined into a network that collects a certain percentage of bets into one jackpot. Video game machines have a wide range of games and bonuses available.
Bonus games and rounds
- 'Spread out' symbols – winning combinations could be located on several lines;
- 'Wild' symbols – these are the symbols that substitute for all the symbols to form a winning combination
Because the symbols of the video machines are quite different if compared to classic slots, all information could be located in the special table or shown on screen.
