The World of Online Games in general is developing at a rapid pace, most especially with the introduction of mobile devices and tablets.
Types of games on offer:
There are many various types of slot machines around the world today that each offer different winning possibilities to their players but do people actually know how many different types there are? I have found that during my time as a games editor I have been increasingly asked the same questions regarding this type of gaming entity. Many people still think that all online games such as slot machines are the same no matter which one you play but this could not be further from the truth as many of them have totally different characteristics than the next one so I have decided to detail the various types of slot machine in this write up. The first type of slot machine I will mention is the more traditional straight up slot machines.
Straight slot machines are exactly how they sound and feature a basic set of reels that spin with the player requiring matching combinations to win a prize which generally matching three or more symbols. This type of machine is by far the easiest to understand as it only offers the customer a single pay rate for the values of the games symbols which eliminates confusion for many people. There are of course many different variations of this type of machine with some offering wildcards, multipliers, bonus multipliers, multiple bonuses and the buy a pay function. Wildcards are basically a symbol that can act as any other symbol if required whilst multipliers act to multiply your wins for you once you have achieved them. Bonus multipliers provide the player with the advantage of receiving higher bonuses when they land on them and multiple bonuses provide the player with more than one bonus for the same chance.
The buy a pay function is a touch more difficult and rarely seen but allows the player to change the tariff of the game so if the game was running at fifty pence per spin then you could easily change this to two pounds a spin buy selecting it on the game. The next type of game I would like to discuss is the progressive jackpot slot machine as this is the issue I receive most of my questions about. Progressive slot machines are one of the most popular slot games in the world and have players coming back again and again and finding themselves playing much more time on them due to the way they are set.
These Casino Games are played virtually the same as the straight slot machines with the big difference being the size of prize that any player can win in one session. These machines are usually linked up to many other machines and see no set limit for prizes but instead the jackpot keeps increasing until it is won. The more players that the game has and the more revenue the machine generates the higher the prize and once the machine has hit any given limit it will then proceed to award the jackpot to one lucky winner. Like I have said before these are the most exciting games of the slot machine entity as players can win anything from ten thousand pounds to over a million if they are lucky enough which is the fact that keeps drawing more and more players each year.
The last type of slot machine I would like to discuss is the bonus slot machine which is the least popular machine in the industry. The bonus slot machine is pretty much as the name dictates as it offers players extra bonus incentives to play by providing them with an array of bonus offers within the game.
The machine is still played the same as the straight slot machine but players will find they win many more free spins and feature games than on other versions which can be even more entertaining. In summary slot machines are some of the best forms of activities in the casino world today and are increasingly growing in popularity each year making them one of the fastest growing markets in the gaming world.
