Play Slots for Real Money
Slots is a very wide term used to describe all the different types of slot machines available at land based and online casinos today. You can even play mobile slots on your wireless phone device through a mobile casino. Slots are, without a doubt, the most popular gambling device in today's casinos and account for over sixty percent of any casino's intake.
Some History of Slots
The slot machine originated with the "Liberty Bell", a machine invented by Charles Fey in the late 1800's. It held a drum which would turn when a handle at the side was pulled down, giving it the nickname of "the one-armed bandit". On the drum were pictures of cards or fruits or other symbols. When the same symbol lined up across the center, the player won and the machine made a payout.
Over the years, this one-armed bandit developed into many different versions, and today we actually have three types of real money slot machine games: reel slots, progressive slots and video slots.
How to Play Real Money Slots
Playing slots is extremely easy and very entertaining. The player decides what coin denomination he wants to play, chooses a machine showing that denomination, i.e. 10 cent, or 25 cent or one dollar machine, and he is ready to start.
Reel Slots
It is important to check out the rules of the slots machine, or online game, before playing. If there is more than one pay line, then it is worthwhile to bet one coin on each line. For example, playing a machine with 3 paylines at $1 per line, it is worthwhile to play $3 each spin in order not to miss a payout. If the player has bet less than the maximum in a multiple pay line game, he is liable to miss a payout if the game symbols show up on a line which he has not covered with a bet.
Video Slots
Video slots are more complex than the reel slots, but they are far more exciting. The graphics and sound on the video slots are greatly enhanced which makes the game much more fun. Again, it is important to read the rules of the machine or the online game before starting to play.
Video slots have many more pay lines, sometimes as many as forty, and they also have all kinds of bonus screens reached when certain symbols show up on any of the pay lines
Progressive Slots
Progressive slots are very like video slots. They have many of the same extra features: bonus screens, scatter symbols, free spins and multipliers. However, the progressive slots are linked to a network of slots games so that the buildup of the jackpot is not based on one player alone. Each time a player on the network plays a slots game, a certain percentage of his bets is added to the jackpot, and it grows and grows and grows - sometimes hitting millions! A complete winning lineup of symbols will grant the player the jackpot. This is every progressive slots player's dream!
How to Win at Real Money Slots
There is absolutely no strategy in winning at slots. The symbols on the reels and videos are computer generated randomly. One cannot foretell or foresee what symbols will turn up for a win. This is part of the fun. The player inserts his coins or clicks with his mouse (if he is online) and then waits. The waiting is as tense and exciting as the wait at a roulette table.
There is only a strategy on how not to lose at slots. And that is: set a limit on the amount of money you are willing to spend or lose. It that limit is reached, quit the game. If you are winning a lot of money, cash in and take it home. Don't spend more than your limit. Once you start doing that, you may lose a lot. But always remember: slots are fun and their main purpose is to entertain, so enjoy!
