In an online casino the line between a classic slot and a video slot is very
thin. Playing slots on the computer is in general very close to the feeling one
would have on a regular video slot so it is easy to define all online slots as
video slots. There are a few features that stand out as special for video slots
and it is important to understand how these work if you want to maximize your
slot gaming and now how to pick the most lucrative machine.
Special Symbols All video slots come with special symbols that work
differently than the regular ones on the reels. A video slot can come with as
many reels as you'd like but the most common ones are played with five reels.
The wild symbol is usually used as substitute for any other symbol and can
create winning combinations with the other symbols on the reels. It usually does
not pair up with the scatter symbol which is used as a way to get to free spins.
The wild symbol can also be the key to a bonus game where both the scatter and
wild can be included.
Multipliers Number of paylines can vary greatly and this should always be
considered when you're trying to find the best paying slot machine available. No
matter what you're winnings are chances that you'll make more money are greater
when you choose a video slot with a multiplier function. A video slot with
multiplier will let you multiply your winnings with as much as luck will let
you. The multiplier has several levels and it can be included in both the
regular game and in the bonus round to make your earnings grow.
Bonus Games and Free Spins Bonus games in video slot can be free spins with
an extra feature like a multiplier or a completely different game. Sometimes you
will have to pick from hidden prizes and hope that you choose the ones with the
highest reward. A bonus game can also let you guess on the outcome of a race of
horses or other animals and reward you with an increase of your prize money.
Free spins are many times part of video slots and they give you more chances to
make winning combinations. It is common to win around 15 free spins in the
original round and sometimes you can also win free spins in the actual free
spins mode.
Gambling Option If the video slot comes with a gambling option you can choose
to click on a button that will let you gamble with your winnings. A gamble
option is typically to get to guess on a card suite and if you get it right your
money will be doubled or even quadrupled.
Try the Slot for Free An excellent way to learn the rules of the specific
slot you have chosen to play on is to play it for free to begin with. The free
versions of video slots come with all the explanations you need and with make
pretend bets that will show you how much you'll win when you get the desired
combinations on the reels.
