Basic Slots Rules and How to Play Guide

How to Choose Your Slot Machine

Choosing the right slot machine is the very first step in playing great slots and is in fact one of the most important steps as well. There are many different types of slots machines to choose from so understanding a bit about the history of slots as well as the different types of slots machines that are available to you is very important indeed.

There are slots machines that can be considered to be traditional slot machines, these generally consist of three reels and are characterized by a single pay line, there are five reel slot machines that can feature a single pay line but can be as many as fifty or more, there are video slots, progressive jackpot slots, various bonus slots and many more.

In fact the more popular that online slots get the more developers are trying to be competitive so the possibilities are virtually endless. One of the best ways to choose a slot machine to play at can be best determined by the size of your playing budget, otherwise known as your bankroll. If your bankroll is rather limited then it is best to choose a slot machine that will accept the lowest possible bet but yield the best possible results for you.

Inserting Coins into a Slot Machine

This may seem like a rather obvious point on a machine that requires you to insert coins in order to play but you may be surprised to learn that different slot machines actually require different amounts of coins in order to produce the desired results; this is especially true of certain jackpot slot machines like progressive jackpot slot machines. These types of machines always require a certain amount of coins to be inserted for you to be eligible for the progressive jackpot. If you do not insert the required amount of coins you will not stand in line to win the progressive jackpot, even if you hit the right combination of symbols.

Time to Spin the Reels

This is what it is really all about, spinning the reels. You have now inserted the correct amount of coins into your chosen slot machine and it is now time to spin the wheels to see what you may win. Spinning the reels is the highlight for most slots players; it is what they look forward to the most, the anticipation of seeing what will happen when each one of the reels finally comes to a stop.

Modern online slots machines even feature something called an auto spin which allows players to set the machine to spin automatically on their behalf. This feature is handy if you are unable to stay with your slot game because you have to world or sleep; staying with a machine is particularly important, especially if it happens to be a progressive jackpot machine.
