Slot Rules

The rules to slots are quite simple.

There is a horizontal line across the window of the slot machine. If a certain combination falls on the horizontal line when the reels stop, you are a winner. Payouts vary by machine.

As a rule, three-reel machines featuring bar symbols, with the traditional "7" denoting the top prize, are your best bet. The jackpot will be relatively modest, but so is the risk.

Four- or five-reel slots, featuring single, double and triple bars, sevens, or other emblems, usually offer a higher jackpot, but it’s harder to get.

You can drop as many chips as you wish into the slot but only one chip is played by default. You can click "BET ONE" button to increase your bet by one chip. The maximum number of chips that can be played in one round is three. You can click "BET MAX" button to bet three chips right away.

Slots generally fall into two categories - straight slots and progressive slots. A straight slot will pay your winning combinations according to a predetermined schedule. A progressive slot machine will pay you in a similar way unless you hit the progressive jackpot. When you hit the jackpot, you typically win a huge sum of money. In a progressive slot game, a percentage of each coin dropped in the slot machine is added to the jackpot. If no one hits a jackpot in a while, it can grow to be quite large. (Some pooled jackpots Online can grow quite large.)
