The rules for Slots are quite simple. In fact,
there are no real rules. All the player has to do is
drop coins in the
slot machine and pull the handle or
push the spin button.
How to Play Slots
To start the game, player deposit coins and spin the
reels. There is a horizontal line (or a certain number of
them) across the window of the Slot machine. If a certain
combination of symbols falls on the horizontal line when
the reels stop, player wins. Payouts vary by machine.
Progressive vs. Straight
Slots generally fall into two categories - straight
Slots and
progressive Slots:
- Regular Slots will pay winning combinations
according to a predetermined schedule;
- Progressive Slots will pay in a similar way unless
player hits the progressive jackpot.
The difference between progressive Slots and regular
Slots is the size of the jackpot. In most cases,
progressive jackpots are much larger than ordinary,
because their size is always increasing. The more people
playing on the linked machines, the faster the jackpot
increases.
When playing progressive Slots, player should keep in
mind that the only way to hit the big jackpot is by
betting the maximum coin amounts.
