Slots

Slots are fun and easy to play with no particular rules to consider. There are many names for slot machines, amongst them fruit machine, one-armed bandit or poker machine. Traditionally slot machines are operated by inserting coins into a machine with three or more reels, pulling down a lever on the side of the machine and this spins the reels. Modern slot machines are entirely electronic. Symbol combinations come up at random and machines are pre-programmed to return a percentage to the winning player.

The purpose of the game is for the reels to stop spinning on a winning combination and you have a jackpot. The symbols used are simple images, such as numbers, fruits or bells. Games have a range of winning combinations usually demonstrated on the front of the machine. If you get a winning combination, the slot machine pays out cash, the value in extra games or tokens. Some slot machines to look out for are three to nine reels, multiples and progressives and criss-crosses, and variations will include the size of the Jackpot, combinations, symbols, and coins allowed in each play.

The general rules for playing slot machines are:

  • Click ‘Insert Money’ and follow the onscreen instructions.

  • Place your bet by choosing credits in the denominations you require.
  • You will see your balance in the credit box.
  • If you want to bet the upper limit you need to click on ‘Bet Max’.
  • If you just want to bet one time then click on ‘Bet One’ for individual credits.
  • Click 'Spin' and the symbols or numbers will spin.
  • If the images are a winning combination, you will see how much you have won on the ‘Payout Table’.
  • To check the total figure won overall, click on the ‘Winner Paid’ icon.
  • Some places have linked machines enabling you to play on different machines but take your credit / winnings along with you. There will be a ‘Switch Machine’ button if this facility is available.
