All about video slot machines

One of the biggest decade in the world of slot machines in recent decades has been video slot machines. Since their first introduction to the casino world in 1975 they have come to be one of the most popular of all casino games. Much of this popularity stems from their entertaining nature, simplicity of game play and the possibility of high payouts, particularly among linked progressive machines.

In a traditional slot machine there are three or five reels included in the machine. These are real, true to life reels that you could touch and feel if you were to take the machine apart. When you play the slots (generally by pulling on a lever), the reels would spin around until the stopped, determining whether or not you were a winner or a loser for that round. All very straight forward and very simple, but very limited in what they can do. With reel machines you will never have anything but the reels in front of you, spinning around and around.

Video slots work on the same basic premise as the original reel slot machines, however there are no actual reels being spun, rather a video simulation. This allows for a much greater flexibility on traditional reel slot machines. For example, casinos can put in a higher number of symbols on each reel, because they are not limited by physical size: you can have anywhere from 20 to 100 symbols on any given reel. Players can also make more individualized bets, betting on single reel lines as well as on the slot machine as a whole, increasing their chances of making at least some of their money back (although the chances of winning all or more of your money back is lessened).

Another advantage of video slot machines is the opportunity for bonuses. Bonuses with video slots generally take one of two forms: winning a free spin or getting the chance to play a different bonus game with the chances to win even more money. These bonus games often have nothing to do with slots at all but are completely different games made possible through the use of a video machine.

One popular bonus game, for example, is the "Pick a box." If you hit the right combination of symbols on the slot, you will be taken to a new game where there are a number of boxes on the screen. You get the chance to pick one of these boxes: pick the right box and you will win a special jackpot. There are other different bonus games as well: Wheel of Fortune, Pick until Pop, Symbol Slide and much, much more. These all add to the basic elements of the game, and can be very fun.

Of all of the various video machines, the linked progressive machines offer the chance for the largest payouts. These machines are linked together with jackpots coming from the pots of all the individually grouped machines put together. While the jackpots are larger, the chances of winning are also smaller: the safest in the world of video machines is the individual slot machine.
