In a short period of time, online casinos have become unheard of popular all over the world. It is no wonder that a player can have it all right in their own home with a wide variety of games, high chances of winning and large prize amounts. Virtual slot machines, which are online replicas of physical lotto machines, are a staple of online casino entertainment.
What is a slot?
To the average player, he is more familiar with a slot machine. Its short name comes from the English word “slot”. A classic slot is a game with several reels.
When the player presses a button, the reels will spin vertically. The player bets that three identical symbols will appear on the horizontal row of reels. For example, 7-7-7. Thus, the player receives his winnings. The player’s money remains the payment for the chance to win the game, even if the result is changed.
In the case of dividing a classic slot into components, we get the following list:
- The symbol is an image of a vertically rotating drum. Symbols can vary greatly depending on the theme of the slot machine. The player’s main goal is to have identical symbols lined up in a single line, usually horizontal.
- The reel is a set of symbols arranged vertically. Modern slot machines can have from three to dozens of reels at a time.
- Winning line – a horizontal line or any other line on which the symbols must line up for the player to win. There can be a straight, broken or clustered payline. Although they are usually read from left to right, sometimes they can be read from both sides. Slot machine pay tables always show unusual lines;
- The pay table contains information about the possible winnings in the slot, as well as information about the game’s bonus features. It shows the player the winnings that a typical “7-7-7” or any other combination gives. You can also find out if there is a jackpot in the game or a win multiplier.
- The player uses buttons to control the game play on the machine. The movement of the reels starts by pressing the “Start” or “Spin” button. The “Bet”, “Minimum Bet” and “Maximum Bet” buttons allow the player to select the maximum, minimum and highest bet he can place per spin of the reels. There is also an additional button “Auto Spin”, which allows the slot to spin the reels at the selected bet without the player’s participation.
