 Bonus Multiplier Slots –
This offer larger top jackpots as incentive to play max coins.
The top jackpot symbol, e.g. 7’s will only pay with max coins. This is important for
those players who have lined up winning 7’s only to find their single coin bet did
not win.
Bonus Video Slots – This is the latest gaming trend are the most
graphically loaded, glitziest slots to come along in a long time. Bonus Slots are
described by 49erCasino as “branded machines”,
“entertainment-content”, “brand recognition”,
“participation” games, “interactive” & “banking” slots.
The name Bonus Slots says it all – an opportunity to go to the ‘second
chance’ bonus round where the real money is. Players are on sensory overload with
Bonus Slots offering at least 25 symbols filling up the screen in front of them, multiple
pay-lines with as many as 5 or 9 pay-lines. Many versions come in penny denominations,
nickel, quarter and dollar.
Comps – This means “complimentary” and refers to free rewards
given out by 49erCasino for gambling a certain amount at their casino. Comps may include
free buffets, tickets to show, discount hotel rooms, cash rebates for gambling and store
purchases.
Edge – This is defined as the mathematical advantage of either the
49erCasino or player when playing a gambling game. Most of the time it refers to the
casino advantage or house advantage, as opposed to the player advantage.
Ghost – This is a blank stop on a slot machine reel, containing no symbol.
Hopper – This is the container under the slot machine, which holds the
dropped coins. Players insert their coins into the slot machine, and they fall into the
hopper.
Multiplier Slots – This pays for certain symbols on a graduating
scale. On a three reel, you get 5 coins for a “cherry” playing one coin, 10 pay
for 2 coins and 15 pay for 3 coins. The payouts for playing 1 coin are much smaller than
if player played maximum coins. “Onesies” players stop here.
Progressive Slots - This offer growing jackpots dependent upon amount
of monies played through the linked bank/carousel slots. A larger bankroll is required and
all progressives are at least three coin max slots with two jackpot levels – primary
and secondary. When either jackpot wins, values are reset to minimums for each. Max play
is mandatory here.
RNG (Random Number Generator) - A Random Number Generator is a piece
of software, usually housed in a computer chip placed inside the slot machine by the
manufacturer. In online terms, the random number generator is a piece of software on the
game server. The purpose of both is identical, and that is to randomly select hundreds of
numbers, and symbols every second, faster than you can pull the handle or hit the spin
button. It’s working even when the machine is idle. Each random number corresponds to
a certain reel and symbol combination that is randomly chosen after the first coin is
dropped or credit played. Naturally, the fewest programmed combinations are for the
jackpot.
Reels - The number of wheels/reels showing on slot with symbols
combinations imprinted. In a classic machine there are usually three, but some slots have
five.
Slot Types/Versions – Basic, straight or “flat-top”
slots have a constant top jackpot payout that does not change no matter how much the
machine is played.
