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” lots have a constant top jackpot payout that does not change no matter how much the machine is played.
Short Win – large jackpot win after a small cash outlay – happens often
