Slots Guide

Considering slots are one of the easiest casino games out there, it isn’t really hard to get started with them. There aren’t any difficult rules to learn, and playing the game doesn’t require any skills, so you can get started right away and not worry about losing a lot because you’re inexperienced.

• Sitting down on a slot machine in a casino or going online and selecting slots games in an online casino should present you with a simple screen telling you to choose the denomination of the game. This simply asks you about how much money you’re willing to bet per line (more on this later). The more you bet, the higher the payout will be. For example, the jackpot for a 25 cent denomination game might be one thousand dollars, but for a 25 dollars denomination game, it can surpass one hundred thousand dollars. This is a massive difference in payout, and you should choose the denomination based on how much you feel comfortable betting and how lucky you feel.
• After you’ve selected the denomination, you’ll be presented with a screen of ordered symbols and their payoff. This screen tells you how much money you should expect once you have a particular winning combination on the screen. For example, if you’re playing a fruit-based slots game, and on the screen, you see that 3 apples are 10 and 4 apples are 50, this means that if you get three apples after each other you’ll win 10 times your bet, and if you get 4 apples one after each other you’ll be winning 50 times your bet. The payout obviously changed depending on how much you’re betting. If you’re betting only 25 cents per line, that means you’ll be winning 2..5 dollars if you have three apples in a row. If you’re betting 25 dollars, you’ll be winning 250! It is a good idea to remember this table to learn how much you’ll get paid.
• Now that you’ve learned the potential payout, it is time to learn about lines in slots. The screen will usually show 15 symbols sorted into a table of 5 columns and 3 rows. You usually have the potential to select 5 lines (the three rows and two diagonal lines across the screen). If you select one line while betting, you’ll only win if the consecutive symbols appeared on that line. For example, let’s say you’re playing a 25 cent denomination game with only one line (which by default is the middle row), if you hit play, and three consecutive apples appeared in the top row, you win nada. But, if you were betting on the middle and the top rows, you’ll be winning! But, you have to remember that you need to pay the denomination amount for each new line you select. If you select all five lines in a 25 cent denomination, you’ll be paying 1.25 dollars per spin.

And that’s it! This is all you need to know! The rest completely depends on how lucky you are.
