What can online casino offer to fans of slot machines? Well, practically everything, that real halls can, plus something more than that. But before we look into online slot machine halls, let’s give a meaning to several notions. “One-handed gangsters” have been split into two categories called slots and video slots (meaning a slot of a coin-receiver). Classical slots represent three mechanic barrels with a possibility to play on 1-5 lines. Video slots are a video screen 3×5 with the game on 9-30 lines with rich additional bonus possibilities.

You can find both kinds of playing machine in an online casino. From the point of view of the games quantity and their functional possibilities online games do not yield (as well as to some degree they could exceed) to offline ones. The doubtless leader in the slots quantity and quality is the “Microgaming” software. The downloaded versions suggest up to 180 kinds of distinct slot machines, classic ones and video slots in about equal parts. The classic slots suggest a game from 1 to 5 lines. There can be up to 10 plays with progressive jackpots which average sums vary from 5 thousand to more than one million dollars. The first 9-line video slots appeared several years ago. The play “Tomb raider” (that’s known due to the video game and the film “Lara Croft, tomb plunder”) still holds much favour. Lara’s picture of 4 floors height can even be seen within the company “Microgaming” office. From then on 20- and even 30-line video slots appeared. The video slots provide with the opportunity to win totally free bonus rounds including prize multiplication, additional bonus games, the possibility to risk and great gambling double the win, jackpots of hundred thousand dollars. The maximum prize of such games can be $40-200 thousand. There are of-course “wild” and bonus symbols, animation which is all the variety of possibilities for just what the players love video slots. Besides, the player can set the volume of games and after that games start will be conducted automatically.

The other place will be rather given to the casino with the soft of the company “Criptologic”. Recently they have concluded a treaty with a popular comics publisher – the company “Marvel” and have already created more than ten video slots with popular comics heroes (we know, for instance, such personages as Hulk and Spiderman). All in all, the casino suggests more than 50 classical video slots, covering 9-20 lines with the abundance of possibilities. Another unique possibility, provided for payers of the British casino “William Hill” is the alternative of English “fruity” slot-machines that function with the opportunity of “pushing” the drum as a way to make it move for a little while giving a player the winning combination. At the moment when I am writing these lines jackpot on the video slot “Millionaires’ Club” exceeds $3,5 ml., that’s twice as much as the previous record for the on-line casino. Whenever you get a current issue of the journal, the jackpot will either reach the sum of $4 ml. or it shall be hit and consequently it shall constitute its original sum of $400 thousand.

Such producers of slots as “RTG” and “Playtech” yield just a little as to the diversity of slots (although not as to their functionality). You will find classical slots and video slots with diverse functions and jackpots including the ones at one million dollar. Only the “Boss Media” out of 5 provider leaders yields a little its competitors as to the quality of slots, however they too possess video slots, at least for nine lines and with no full abundance of possibilities.

While evaluating slots online, it is essential to consider such a burning question as the portion of payment. Unfortunately, in spite of the numerous players’ requests the absolute majority of casinos don’t show the laid into the game portion of payment. On the contrary, it’s possible to attempt to estimate it. As an example, the casinos with the software from “Microgaming” and “Criptologic” publish monthly common payment percentages, notarized by auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers. So the normal payment percentage of all of the slots usually varies within the variety of 94-96 %.

As a conclusion, I want to mention that an online casino represents an extremely wide choice of different kinds of playing machines that don’t yield with their functional characteristics to those ones you may see in playing rooms. The pluses of the online playing are more comfort conditions, wide variety of stakes, the presence of bonuses that will double your means for playing. Besides, some casinos provide the information regarding payments in pawn as well as the honesty guarantee that is challenging to see in real life. Consequently, when someone decides to play slots in an online casino (s)he won’t regret it.
