Online Slot Machines
Online casinos or virtual casinos are online versions of their traditional, land-based counterparts. Online casinos enable gamblers to wager and play on casino games through the Internet. They generally offer odds and payback percentages comparable to land-based casinos. Some online casinos claim higher payback percentages for slot machine games while others publish payout percentage on their websites. Slot Machines of the online casino world are just what they are called, some quite simple machines.
In real life players operate them with the push of a button or grab of a lever while some colorful images and sometimes even a fancy seven flashing on the screen. In the case of online casinos the lever is replaced by the mouse which operates the game. We may even set the mouse to play a number of rounds by itself. Rules are as easy as can be: simply put in an amount, start the roll and when it is over to check if we have a winner combination. Some online casino rooms offer mega-machines where we can operate simultaneously 6 machines in the same round. Most of the machines are based on the same principles.
The traditional or straight slot machines have a jackpot that is a set value on the payback table. This amount is displayed on the screen. These machines offer a higher chance of winning but the value of their jackpot falls behind those of the progressive machines. As their name already suggests, progressive machines accumulate sums until someone wins it all in one round. Because the sum is higher in each non-winning round, sometimes huge fortunes can accumulate but players need quite an amount of luck to win the jackpot. There are some machines with four or five dials which have double or triple horizontal fields as well and offer a higher jackpot. But than again, chances are small to win these. However everyone can have a lucky day so why not today?
