How To Play Slots

Having Fun With Slots

Firstly let's look at the main components or feature set of a typical slots machine, they are:-

• Coin or Note Slot
• Credit Amount
• Bet Amount
• Win Amount
• Bet One
• Bet Max
• Spin Button
• Lever
• Payout Schedule
• Cash-Out-Button
• Attendant Button
• Attendant Light (Bell)

Firstly let's make it very clear from the start, there is no way of telling what the odds of winning are on slot machine, the odds are programmed on the computer chip at the factory and installed into the slot machine. There is no-way of tricking the machine either by the player or the casino because the results are predetermined. The odds or payout percentage are determined the casino is programmed at the factory, it's not possible to change the payout percentage unless the casino has the chip re-programmed and this is generally not done. Casinos will sometimes reveal their payout percentages, however never reveal the odds or house-edge.

So How Do I Play Slots Game?

Firstly you need to select a machine, many players will either base this selection based upon the following:-

• Payout Amount
• Minimum Bet & Maximum Bet Amount
• How Many Reels (the less reels the higher probability of winning)
• The Theme and Color of the Slot Machine
• Feng Shui (sitting position important for many Asian players).

To begin playing, following these simple steps:-

1. After selecting your machine, you will notice there is an option to either deposit coins or notes, many players opt to play using coins (one at a time) rather than notes as it slows their rate of play. Obviously the casino would prefer you deposit notes.
2. After you have made your deposit the machines overall credit amount will appear somewhere on the slot machines video display.
3. Next you need to select your bet amount, you can opt to bet-one, or bet in increments of (1) or simply bet max.
4. You can then opt to either press the "Spin" button or pull down the lever on the right-hand side of the machine. The reels of the machine will start spinning the RNG randomly selects each reel one-by-one. After all reels have stopped spinning you will either have a paying combination (win) or a loss.
5. If you have a winning combination, the payout is either credited to your machines overall credits, or some machines immediately payout and dump the coins into the players cash-out tray.
6. The above procedure is simply repeated over and over by the player.
7. If you experience a problem with the machine whilst in play press the "attendant" button, the "attendant light" located at the top of the machine will light-up and alert floor staff that a problem exists.

Follow the above simple steps and you'll be on your way to enjoying the thrill of the game of slots that entices so many players.
