>> Slots objective

The aim of slots is to spin in matching lines of symbols on the reels (usually from left to right) so that you receive a payout. Different symbols are worth different amounts of money and some symbols may include bonus features. The great attraction of slots is the potential to win a huge jackpot on a modest bet. Some low value payouts can be triggered by as little two matching symbols.

>> Types of Slots

Slots come in many shapes & sizes usually varying by the number of reels (3-5) and the number of pay lines (1-20). The more of each of these features the more frequently you will receive a win but of course every extra payline requires an additional wager.

The biggest jackpot slots are progressive slots where the jackpot constantly acculates until it won.

UK style fruit machines typically feature only 3 reels and usually 1 payline, but the entertainment factor comes from the bonuses & feature boards. More recently I've seen some of the online casinos combine the best features of both so now you can find 5 reel, 20 line slots with scatter symbols which will active the bonus board feature.

Play with the maximum number of coins
Most slot machines reward you for playing the maximum number of coins. For example the jackpot may pay £2,000 with 2 coins played, but £4,000 when 3 coins are played.

Match your wallet to the slot
If you don't feel comfortable playing the maximum coins you should change the the coin denomination to a lower value or move to a cheaper slot so you can play the maximum. i.e. instead of playing one coin at £1 per coin, play 3 coins of 25p.

Bonus features
Some slots, particular the UK fruit machine inspired slots place empathize on the player making use of nudges to nudge in symbols to active the bonus features, look out for this when playing a slot, those bonus is activated with a 3 in view symbol.
