Five  Types of Online Slots

So we are staring out and want to learn about slot machines online. Let’s make it clear that all our slot games on Mac Online Slots are what is called Flash Casino browser based software. This means it is no download slots gaming.

.

You are probable familiar with the slots from seeing them in a movie or at a live casino. It used to be that there was just one type called the "One Armed Bandit". The one arm was the lever you pulled down to get it going. The force of the pull-down provide the force to spin the 3 wheels. Well things have changed….a lot.  We could make 15 different categories of slots but lets just group them into 5 categories for simplicities sake.

• Interactive Slots
  
• Interactive eXtreme
  
• Jackpot Slots
• Simple multi-line Slots
• One Line Slots

Interactive Slots

Software providers have invented a video bonus game within the slot theme, sometimes refered to as “off the reel” bonus game. For example you could have a slot theme with witches and vampires spinning around as the symbols. If 3 Bonus symbols appear on the screen you will win the featured bonus game. The slot machine will disappear and a skill game takes its place. Perhaps you will have the chance to open coffins and kill a vampire to win chips. If you open the wrong coffin the chance to gain more chips is over and the screen reverts back to the normal slot reels again. You will have won your bonus inside the game. These bonus games are super entertaining and most often very graphic. I love these interludes and there’s a lot of money to be won there. Bonus slots normally also offer other interesting features. 3 Scatters anywhere on the screen and free spins’ are won. Most of the time this free spin mode carries with it a 3x multiplier. Your wins are paid 3 times the win.

There are 5 basic features that are found on slots. One to five could be offered in any game.

• Bonus Game- mini games within the game, already explained above.
• Free Bonus Spins-  certain symbols allow you to win extra spins without inserting chips.
• Scatter symbols- can appear anywhere on the board and do not have to be matched up on a pay line to win. Normally if 3 appear a bonus game opens.
• Wild Symbols- replace any symbol on the pay line. For example if it is between two cherries, it counts as 3 cherries in a row. It acts much Joke a Joker in cards.
• Jackpots- These can be progressive jackpots or set and unchanging.

Interactive eXtreme slots

This is a very interactive slot game that will have more than one “off the Reel” bonus game to play. These Types are a bit harder to get to know than others. For example Champion of the Track incorporates 3 exciting bonus game features. This is by far the most intricate Flash Casino online slots game on the market today. But it is worth the effort to learn the rules. we at Mac Online slots provide blow by blow instructions on how to play. With one or two read threw you will be mounting the horse like an experienced jokey.

One Line Slots

Alsoreferred to as single line slot or fruit slots. They have just 3 reels. The term "single line" refers to the PAY LINE were the symbols are matched up for winning. These are the simplest of slots and I recommend starting with one of these to warm up. It was the first design of slots dating back to the wild west in the USA.  These slots incorporate only 3 reels with symbols to match up normally of bars or fruits. This is why many times this type of slot is called a fruit slot. The standard 3 reel offers you a choice to play up to 3 coins and can include a progressive jackpot.  Before spinning you could have a choice of chip value and how many chips you wish to bet, one, two or three. But sometimes the chip value is already programmed and unchangeable. There are Multi Line 3 reels as well.

Simple multi-line Slots

More recently this type is  referred to  as a Simple Slot. Look ing ahead the seem as simple. Bu not long ago these were new. The multi line slot was the next generation of slot machines after the basic One Line Slots. This made the game a bit more interesting. "Multi" means the slot machine has more than one PAY LINE.  You can bet on one or many pay lines  on the same spin. Simple multi-line slots could be 3 reel but mostly this term refers to games with 5 or as many as 9 reels. The Simple multi’s may have 3 or may come with as much as 45 pay lines. Simple multi-line slots typically offer something above and beyond the classic slots. Normally they are based on themes and feature scatters, free spin rounds, bonus rounds, wild symbols and sometimes progressive jackpots. These games by far are the more popular in today's gaming market. My recommendation for a beginner is to spin, relax and learn the game with small bets of .01$. It takes a while

Progressive Jackpot Slots

The progressive slot is the best slot in terms of prize payouts. These games are provided system-wide between networks of casinos. When a player plays a progressive game, a percentage of their bet accumulates into the collective jackpot. Since the machines are all inter connected it allows the jackpots to grow to incredible amounts. It could be accumulating for weeks, even months growing to millions of dollars. Check out the 4,124,377 figure in the above image. Once a player wins the jackpot, the machines are reset and the prize pool will start again – across the entire connected casino groups that are participating. These slots are not limited to lines or features.  A very simple classic 3 reel jackpot slot could be a very attractive game. Some players place the game on automatic spins and sit back and dream of the life changing win that could appear before them hands off. With penny slots the auto spin and walk away style is not to dangerous but placing bets on 45 line with 5 coins bet per line with a value of $1/coin, needs to be kept under watch…Right? But as an antidote I would mention that the 4,000,000 EURO jackpot in the image above was won Sunday the 14th of June by a 33 tearold woman in the Netherlands.
