The Progress of Slots Games
The first slot machines were invented in the late 19th century/beginning 20th century. They were mechanical devices operated by the pulling of a handle or "arm" which quickly gave them the nickname "one-armed bandit". As a gambling device, the slot machines only really came into use in the mid-1900's when they were first installed in the Las Vegas Hilton casino by Bugsy Siegal.
Although Bugsy first needed the slot machines for his male gamblers' ladies, they very quickly gained popularity and were moved to very central halls in the casino proper.
When online gambling arrived on the internet around 1995, slots games were some of the first casino games to show up. The first online slots games were the very simple basic 3-reel slots. However, as more and more players discovered online gambling, the computer software companies who developed online casino software were soon coming up with more and more interesting slots games.
Types of Online Slots Games
In principle there are four types of online slots games:
3-reels
5-reels
video slots
progressive slots
Any and all of the above can be multi-coin and multi-line slots games, but the more complicated and complex of the four types are the video and progressive slots.
Playing Slots Games Online
Playing online slots games is no different from playing slots games in a land based casino. Instead of a lever or a button, you use your mouse to select your coins and their value and to press the "spin" or "play" button.
Reel slots are the easiest to play. You select the coin size you want to play and the number of coins per round and then press the "spin" button. The winning payouts are always displayed alongside the game. If you have a winning configuration, your winning credits will show up in the appropriate box.
Video slots are more complicated but also more exciting. The graphics and sound are far superior in quality giving an almost life-like atmosphere to the game. Video slots games have a story theme and present a Disney type story to the player. The principle of the play is the same as the reel slots but there are many extras:
scatter symbols
wild cards
bonus symbols
multipliers
All these extras allow the player to collect bigger winnings if the symbols show up on any of the pay lines in the game.
The payouts for these various extras are always displayed alongside the game, and, in some cases, where interaction is required, there is always an explanation so that the player should not be surprised.
Progressive slots games are similar to video slots because they offer all the extra bonuses, wild cards, scatter symbols, free spins and multipliers. But they also offer a progressive jackpot. This means that the game is connected to a network of slots and each time a player plays one progressive slots game a percentage of his money is added to the jackpot. If you ever get a full winning line, you may win the progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpots can be huge amounts of money, and it is the dream of every gambler of online slots games to win one of these life-changing amounts.
