To the uninitiated, the various bits of jargon and lingo that are part and parcel of the online gaming world can seem incredibly daunting; this is particularly true of online slots. So seemingly impregnable are the ‘codes and keys’ that accompany online slots, that many amateur players have established a philosophy of ‘ignorance is bliss’…
Fortunately, becoming ‘savvy’ with online slots is not as hard as many people might believe. One of the core things to be aware of when playing online slots is which types are currently available. As it stands, the following are what an online slot player can expect to encounter when hitting ‘Virtual Vegas’:
Single/ 3 Reel Slots – these are the original (and many would argue still the best) kind of slot; the online versions originally hailed from ‘one armed bandits’, which required a player to pull a lever in order to see if they had hit it lucky.
Many consider single line slots to be the original and best...
Multi-line Slots - are an evolution of the original slots, and as the name might suggest, feature the addition of multiple pay lines. These types of online slot also saw the birth of popular ‘themes’, such as the incredibly successful superhero franchises.
Bonus and Bonus Video slots - these slots are often multi-line in nature, but also feature superb and often innovative bonus rounds; this provides a new degree of immersion and interaction to a player.
Progressive slots - these can be either single or multi-line slots; they work on the stipulation that if a jackpot if not won, then it builds up; this is often done between several online slots at multiple casinos and can therefore lead to some truly spectacular payouts!
