About Online Slots

Online slots gambling is a fun and exciting alternative to land based casino gaming. As mentioned on the homepage of my site there are several benefits to playing slots online these include saving money in that you won't have to pay for trips to Las Vegas or hotel rooms, higher payout percentages then land based casinos due to lower overhead at online casinos, and a larger selection and variety of games that are available to you when you play online. There are several other advantages to playing slots online, these are the ones that I wanted to highlight to you. When playing slots online you'll have several options in the kind's of games you can play these include 3 reel slots, 5 reel slots which are available in single or multiple paylines, bonus slots and progressive slot machines.

3 Reel Slot Machines

3 reel slot machines online are very reminiscent of the standard one arm bandit style 3 reel machines you'll find in land based casinos. These machines are usually single payline games but you'll find at Microgaming, Cryptologic and Playtech powered online casinos that 3 reel slots games are also available in multiple paylines. The screenshot to the left here is one form a Microgaming Viper powered casino and more correctly Roxy Palace casino. In general you'll find that at Microgaming casinos or all online casinos for that matter the slots games themselves don't vary too much from slot to slot but the pay table changes the and other variables do change so be sure to read over the pay table for details on the slot game you're playing.

5 Reel Slot Machines

5 reel slot machines have two additional reels and they also have several additional paylines. In general 5 reel machines have around 15 paylines. Be sure to look over the payout and winning combination details as they should be available to you when your in the actual slot game you're planning on playing. In addition 5 reel slots have more symbols generally than 3 reel slots and some even have wild cards that are used to complete a winning combination all these details are made available to you in the slot game. Playing 5 reel slots has a lot of potential for larger payouts, because playing all 15 lines and hitting a winning combination while betting the maximum number of coins can yield a large payout. A bonus feature that's available at Microgmaing Viper powered online casinos which I personally like is the ability to set your slots gaming to auto play and configure some of the auto play options.

5 Reel Bonus Slot Machines

5 reel bonus slots are very similar to regular 5 reel slot machines, they have the same number of paylines available generally and the same number of symbols with a few exceptions. Let's take Tomb Raider a 5 reel bonus slot game available at Microgaming Viper powered online casinos, also the game featured in the screenshot to the left here. In Tomb Raider the game is played the same as it would if you were to play a regular 5 reel video slot machine, however in this case there are bonus symbols which resemble idols (bonus round symbol) and a Tomb Raider symbol (wild). Should you line up 5 idols on any of the paylines you selected to play in a round of Tomb Raider you'll be brought to a different screen within the slot game where you can you select an idol based on the value of the idol you can multiply your winnings significantly. Tomb Raider has a maximum payout of approximately $112,000.00.

Progressive Slot Machines

If you're looking for the largest payout in one single blow then Progressive slot machines are definitely a good option for you. Progressive games such as the Microgaming Major Millions game featured to the left here have huge payout which can often times exceed $1.0 Million dollars. Playing a progressive like Major Millions is not only fun as a standard 3 reel or 5 reel slot but also because if you win you can win a huge jackpot that parallels winning a progressive jackpot if you were to play in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. If you're looking for games with potential for large payouts then I recommend playing a Progressive slot machine game as the prizes are much bigger.
