Slots Tips
Slots is a game that relies mostly on luck. Unlike other games such as poker or
blackjack, the player has less influence over the outcome of the game in slots because it
relies only on the pull of a lever or push of a button.
  • Slot playermust be fully aware of all the rules to the game he have chosen to play.
    Before starting player must make sure that he fully understand the number of coins
    to insert to play the max bet and the prizes or awards he is entitled to. Player
    must also read all posted material on a machine before he starts.
  • It is essential to play the maximum bet if player is playing for the big jackpot.
    If player land on the jackpot symbol but didn’t play the max bet it is quite likely you
    will not win (depending on the rules of the slots game). Many machines have a max bet
    button that places the max bet for the player automatically.
  • Player must be always be sure to recognize the symbols that represent a jackpot on the
    slots machine he has chosen since symbols will vary from one machine to another.
  • It is often recommended to the player that he must choose a machine offering at least
    98% or higher payout with a progressive jackpot when playing slots online.
  • Player must take some time to check out various slots machines and go with the
    progressive machines offering the highest payouts and best value. Player may never rush
    into a game simply because he is eager to start playing.
Slots Rules
  • Player must insert a coin to make a deposit and pull a lever (or press a button in
    some cases) to set the reels in motion. Once the reels stop spinning player will either
    win or lose depending on the combination and alignment of the symbols on the reels.
  • Player must always pay attention to the paylines which indicate to the player the order
    of how the symbols line-up to qualify as a winning combo.
  • Slots games generally fall into two categories: straight slots and progressive
    slots.
  • In straight slots the winning combinations a based strictly on a fixed
    payout schedule.
  • Progressive slots will pay a fixed amount unless player choose to play
    progressive jackpot from the start. This usually means playing the max bet.
  • When player hits the jackpot, he usually win a large amount of money that has been
    building up "progressively". In progressive slots a chunk of all the money
    collected from various slots machines gets pooled into a large jackpot. It continues to
    grow in value until someone wins it.
  • The idea behind slots games is to line up specific symbols in a winning combination.
    There is no way to make them line up strategically, the outcome is random.
  • The theory is that after enough spins the player should land on the winning combos. Each
    machine will have its own number of reels, types of symbols, winning combos and paylines
    (symbols are lined up on the payline which can be straight, horizontal, vertical or
    diagonal. The number of paylines is chosen by the player). Payouts differ by machine so it
    is always essential to read the rules before starting.
Steps To Play Slots
  • The player selects a machine, reads the rule, inserts the money specified and pulls a
    lever or presses a button to send the reels in motion.
  • Once they stop the outcome of the game is decided by how the symbols on the reels line
    up.
  • There are a number of slots variations at USA Casino and the following is a list of the
    types of slots games available to play:

    3-Reel Standard Slots
    -these are the most common slot machines. Player bet a certain amount, then spin the three
    reels and depending on the outcome of the spin and how the symbols line up, he either win
    or lose.

    3-Reel Max Bet 2 Slots
    – these machines allow players to bet the maximum of two coins, not three as in Standard
    Slots.

    Progressive Jackpot
    – a progressive jackpot means that a certain percentage of every bet goes into the
    progressive jackpot pool. Player wins the jackpot by obtaining a very high symbol
    combination, usually only when playing for the maximum bet. The jackpot payout builds up
    until someone wins and takes it all.

    Bonus Game
    – machines that have a Bonus Game require player to obtain a special symbol combination,
    or collect certain symbols. When player enter a bonus round, he gets special prizes.

    3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines
    – hereplayer specify his bet per payline, and the paylines on which he bet. A payline is
    the line along which your total bet is then line bet x number of lines selected. 3-Line
    Slots have 3 lines for you to choose from, and 5-Line slots have 5. Paylines may be
    straight (horizontal or vertical) or diagonal depending on the slots game.

    Multiline Slots
    – same as 3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines, only the difference is that these machines have
    more than 5 lines, usually 8 or 9. Paylines may be straight (horizontal or vertical) or
    diagonal depending on the slots game.

    3-Row and 5-Row Multispin Slots
    – this is the giant leap for slot machines. In multispin slots, after the first spin
    player choose which reels he want to hold, then spin the rest of the reels again. 3-row
    and 5-row mean you have 3 or 5 rows of reels, like in multiline video poker you have
    multiple hands.

Slots Strategy

  • Many players use a betting system in order to decide when to stop playing. They set a
    max and a minimum limit and follow this closely.
  • Many players believe that if they double their bank roll then, it is time to stop
    playing and cash out.
  • The player that is set on trying to win their money back no matter how much they lose is
    a bad one.
  • It is better to set a pre-determined limit and stop playing once player have reached it,
    be it in wins or losses.
  • When playing slots games player should almost always play the max bet because it offers
    the best odds. If the max bet on that specific machine is too expensive for him, he must
    consider moving to a machine with a max bet that is more in his range.
  • In general three-reel machines are a solid 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 symbols, usually offer a higher jackpot which will also be harder to
    obtain.
