How to Play Online Slots

The game of slots is one of the most popular online casino games. You will be hard pushed to find an online casino that doesn't offer at least several dozens of slots games.

To play slots you do not need to be a mathematical genius or learn very complicated strategies. The early slots machines that were placed in land casinos were operated by a single lever that would make the reels on the machine turn. The reels would spin until they would come to a complete stop and the lineup of the symbols on the stopped reels would determine if the player has won.

With the invention of microchips and later on video; slots have become more complicated and today players have the option of playing 3-reel slots, 5-reel slots, bonus slots, multiplier slots, progressive slots, and multiline slots. The basic principle when playing any slots game is the same; you make a bet and spin the reels. In today's online slots everything is based on sophisticated video imaging technology and the reels and lines are graphical representations.

The modern online slots work the same as land casino slots as they have a built-in random numbers generator (RNG) which make the game completely random.

Many online slots offer multiline games which have many more winning options and bonus rounds. Make sure you review the rules and payout options for each game prior to starting to play. Some slots may appear similar but have different payouts for specific winning lines combinations and the more reels and lines they have the more complicated the payout structure is.
