What are online casino slot machines

Online slot machines began to please us relatively recently, but the prototype of the modern version of slots appeared at the end of the 18th century. Until now, no one can prove whose gambling machine was created first - Sittman and Pitt or Charles Fey. The first Gamblers created a machine that had five reels and contained about 50 cards. The drum rotated, and when the player could hit the same combinations, he received a reward in the form of beer or cigarettes, because such a machine took place in bars and pubs. The second gambler managed to construct three online slot machines, which consisted of three reels and five symbols (Horseshoe, Diamond, Heart, Freedom Bell and shovel). The game was called Liberty Bell. The difference between this and this slot machine was mainly that in the case of the latter, a mechanism was also used to pay out the winnings. Later, Herbet Mills actively began to produce more types of slot machines by adding fruit symbols to them, which so appealed to players that soon fruit games became a separate type of slot machines and began to be called “fruit machines”. The first e-machine appeared in 1934, and the first video slot machines were created in 1976 in Las Vegas. The production of video slots was started by Fortune Coin Company.

Both these earlier and modern slot machines operate on the basis of a Random Number Generator( RNG), the functioning of which boils down to the fact that it is almost impossible to predict the outcome of the game. It is the same with slot machine cheating, because each gambling machine is produced by different software providers, however, always on the basis of this generator. Due to this criterion, we conducted a survey among players from South Africa and explained which manufacturers are most appreciated by users. The following providers were distinguished:

Types of slot machines

Every day there are many different types of slot machines and in fact you can talk about them for a long time. As for the general division of all online gaming machines, such a large category consists of three main parts, which are classic slots, video slots and progressive jackpot machines. We will discuss and compare each of them in more detail.

Virtual slots can be classified due to various aspects: classification according to one best manufacturer, due to the payout possibilities, due to the number of paylines and reels, as well as due to the theme. When we go to the main page of any South African online casino, we will see that each game on the slot machine has been produced according to its concept and its unique theme. Gambling providers have gone so deep into this issue and started to produce such slots that would appeal more to fans of Books, History, Movies, Music, etc. In this regard, however, it is worth showing how we divide all legal slot machines according to the theme that was included in them. Sometimes even the casinos themselves can give a classification of slots due to the themes contained in them, once in the offer of games of one brand we found such an extensive list of themed slots:

The classification according to the theme of slots is constantly updated, as the gambling providers are constantly working to enrich the selection of gambling games with new and fresh titles. However, there are also such games that will never be without the attention of players. Such” eternal " slots remain fruit machines, Hot Spot, with Egyptian themes and movie themes.

Fruit slots

Different games about the same symbols: plums, cherries, watermelons, bananas etc. This slot was so called even then, when the win on the slots was nothing but chewing gum, and its taste depended mainly on what fruit ball hit one line and brought the player a win.

Moody Fruits (Relax Gaming), Fruits evolution (Play Labs), Purple Fruits (CT Gaming), Truitastic (Multi Slot), Fruit Boxes (iSoftBet), Flaming Fruit (Tom Horn) and many more.

Hot Spot

Casino games from this section of slot machines are distinguished by a large number of paylines and incredible emotions that make you hot. The name of this section comes from the names of the games that are placed in this section.

Hell Hot 20 (endorphina), Mega Hot 40 (Games inc), Stunning Hot (BF games), Hot Fruits 10 (amatic industries), Red Hot Devil (Microgaming) and others.

Egyptian

The history of ancient Egypt and ancient civilizations has long been of interest and did not leave anyone who even once had to deal with it. Myths and legends dos$in our time and have become the most attractive concept for online casinos and gaming software manufacturers.

Book of Ra (Novomatic), Book of Dead (Play'n Go), Legacy of Dead (Play'n Go), John Hunter and The Book of Tut (Pragmatic Play), Midas Golden Touch (Thunderkick), Ramses Book (Gamomat), Throne of amun-Ra (Games inc), Legacy of Egypt (Play'n Go) and others.

Movies

Playing on a slot machine ceases to be an ordinary game when we choose slots with a film theme. The producers have produced many different interesting movie slots with our favorite characters.

Platoon (iSoftBet), Zorro Wild Heart (BGaming), King Kong Fury (NextGen Gaming), Terminator 2 (Microgaming), Giant King Kong (Funta Gaming), The Mask (NextGen Gaming), Hansel And Gretel (Isoftbet), Frankenstein (Netent), Downtown (1x2 Gaming) and others.

Main characteristics and special symbols on gambling machines

There are a number of different characteristics with which you can choose the right slot. Slot about such titles can be classified due to various aspects, each of which is undoubtedly important for the player and his game. The main characteristics of slot machines include the following features: number of paylines and reels, themed symbols, special symbols, RTP factor, slot theme, slot variability, software manufacturer and win limits. According to every aspect you care about, you can group all these slots.

The first feature is Number of paylines and reels . Winning lines contain matching symbols that allow you to win a prize. Lines are not visible at the beginning of the spins, they only appear when identical symbols appear on the screen. The most important is the line that lies across the middle. Modern slot machines rarely contain only one Payline, usually they are 9-line slots, but when one line happens, it must be exactly in the middle. Matching symbols are completed from left to right. The rule is very simple: the more symbols are matched, the higher the cash prize will be. In gambling games where there is a Multiway Xtra option, it is possible to line up winnings not only from left to right, but also from right to left. As for the drums, their number can also be different. The reels are the spinning parts of each slot machine on which symbols are placed. The most common and easiest slot machine to play is the slot with 3 reels, which in its shape resembles this classic one-armed bandit. Also in any online casino you can find popular slot machines with 5 reels. The number of reels depends on the manufacturer - the more reels he places on a slot, the more paylines must appear on that slot. Usually distinguish such machines: 3-reel, 5-reel, 7-reel, 9-reel, 20-reel and multi-spin machines, in which it is possible to stop each of the reels.

Thematic symbols and special symbols they are another issue that we want to discuss. All additional symbols appearing on the reel depend mainly on the theme of the slots. If we chose a slot with an Egyptian theme, then on the screen we will be able to see pyramids, pharaohs and tomb treasures. The combination of thematic symbols brings a win, but there are also special symbols that can increase such a win. The Scatter Symbol is a scatter symbol and mainly refers to those games where you can take advantage of the bonus. It is this symbol that allows the player to take advantage of additional opportunities during the game. You can use this symbol when it appears on the screen. another special symbol is the Wild symbol. The appearance of this symbol means that non-winning combinations can be replaced with winning ones. This is due to the fact that the Wild can create its own combinations and they depend mainly on what kind of Wild symbol it is: Sticky Wild, Shifting Wild, Trailing Wild, Expanding Wild or Wandering Wild. Fruit symbols must appear on fruit machines, and between the thematic and special symbols on slots very often there can also be symbols in the form of letters and numbers, e.g. 777.

RTP factor this is perhaps the most important criterion to which special attention is paid. The “Return to Player” factor is the mathematical advantage by which a player has the ability to make profits. The higher the RTP of the slot, the more chances to win the player has. In this respect, they distinguish between loose Automata (high RTP) and tight Automata (low RTP). This factor is set by none other than the manufacturer that supplies the software to the casino, however, there are also such RTP machines which may change from time to time.

Slot variability determine the risk of losing during the game. The level of this variation shows how often a player can get a win. Due to this aspect, all slots are divided into three types: slots with high volatility, medium and low. High volatility have such slot machines that give players the opportunity to win a very high amount, but they do it so rarely that the player in anticipation of his winnings can lose his entire bankroll. The average volatility is appropriate to the most popular slot machines in online casinos. Due to the fact that the risk is medium, and the payouts are not so low and rare, players most often choose slots with such variability (they are the most profitable). Low volatility slots offer users a large number of winning combinations, however they are all about low payout amounts.

As we can see, the player must care about all these criteria, so that by playing on the slot machine he can withdraw more than he even expects and at the same time he does not lose much. We have collected the characteristics of the most popular slot machines, demo versions of which we have placed on our website.

Watch out for cheaters. When looking for online gambling, you will surely come across sites where someone will offer you a recipe for winning in a casino with a 100% guarantee of effectiveness. Remember, all casino games are random, so there is no proven way to win a fortune.

Don't spend all your free time playing at the casino. This advice goes hand in hand with the previous one. Yes, the casino is great fun, but it's not the only form of spending your free time. Set yourself a time limit to play at the casino and stick to it. Playing too long is more money spent on the game, which can strain your budget. Do not play too long and bet smaller amounts and you will be safe. Follow the rules of Responsible Gaming.

Interesting from Finn: becoming addicted to online casino gambling is much more difficult than with land-based casinos. Everything is after the fact that land-based casinos have no windows and est so precisely so that the visiting player fully immersed himself in the slot machine and did not notice the change in the time of day.

Play online slots from your phone

Mobile versions of online slot machines function in the same way as regular ones. The difference between the mobile version and the computer version is mainly that you can always take your mobile with you and spin the drum even when you are waiting for the bus at the stop or you are abroad. The convenience of mobile slot machines is the availability at any time of the day or night. You can play the slot machine by selecting the game on your phone in two ways: in the mobile version and or in the Download Application.

Mobile version-no download

Not all online casinos have made their app available, there are also some that have tried to tailor their site to each user's device using a mobile browser. Playing on a mobile slot machine is no different from this standard computer version. The player enters the site, registers or logs in and chooses a slot. The convenience of this option is that both Android and iOS users do not need to download software to their device and worry about the lack of space in the memory of their phone. Also an important advantage of using the mobile version is the speed of the process of making a transfer to the casino. Anyone who wants to make a deposit from a mobile phone is immediately redirected to the website or application of the payment method they have chosen for their deposit.

Interesting from Gonzo: all land-based casinos are built in such a way that the player does not immediately find the door to the exit, which creates for him the so-called Labyrinth, the main purpose of which is to stop the player at other slot machines and other tables. In the case of online casinos there are no labyrinths, the player will always be able to finish his game quickly and not enter the mobile casino site or set a deposit limit, thus not losing all his funds.

Telephone vending machines

A large number of players also love the slots for downloading to the phone, which are also available for download in any e-store (Play Market or Apple Store). Also, the mobile application can be downloaded directly from the official mobile casino website, which allows you to download only such software that is safe. You just need to click on the “download” or “Download” button, run the software, and enter all your details if you have already registered for this casino and just want to continue your betting. The benefits of using this option are enormous, you can immediately enter the casino lobby without logging in and choose a slot for yourself. Also, the advantage of the mobile application is the ability to play without an internet connection. Even without the internet, the result of the game will always be saved and if during the temporary offline mode you managed to see a good match of symbols on the screen, then immediately after reconnecting to the internet, you can withdraw everything you won.

Summary: what to look for

If you want to play slot games for cash or a high reward, then we recommend that you carefully analyze the site on which you want to play next. First, you should always make sure that the site is responsive and compatible with your device, as well as has a professional appearance. This will be one of the first clues as to the validity of the site: whether the person who founded it had the time and money to invest in a professional site. Of course, you need some time to figure out what their payout policy is. They may have a "sponsored by" option or other forms of detailed presentation of how winnings are paid out, etc. It is important to find this information in advance, which will allow you to save time for any misunderstandings or frustrations in the future.

What is certain is that you will find a huge selection – slot machines are available in a wide range of types, but the end result is the same – it is a great way to break out a little. Before you know it, you'll have hundreds of dollars set aside for other pleasures!

It is also worth paying attention to free games. Some of them that you can play on the slots allow you to earn points. These credits can sometimes be exchanged for cash prizes, entry into the elite or valuable gifts.
