Slots

Online slots machines come in a variety of forms; there're traditional, video, one liners, multi-liners, ones with bonus rounds, free spins and even multipliers. By simply playing a slots machine for a while you can begin to pick up on how it differs to other slots, but here's a quick guide to different slots machines for those not in the know.

Traditional slots are designed to be as close to their bricks and mortar casinos as possible, so they will often feature a mock bricks and mortar slots interface. As opposed to presenting you just with the reels and lines like a video slot, traditional slots feature a frame which is styled on the physical frame of a slots (or fruit) machine.

Video slots are the flashier option; featuring bonus rounds that match the quality of a console game, animations, soundtracks and impressive graphics as well as a lot more perks like free spins. We recommend that you try out both video and traditional slots, to see which style you are most comfortable with. If you want simple and basic slots experiences then traditional slots are for you, if you wish to see what online slots are all about, then video slots are the way forward.

Below you will find an image of a traditional online slot, contrasted against a traditional video slot, as you can tell, the differences are obvious:

Video Slots

The traditional slot features 3 reels and is based around the classic 'Lucky 7' theme, whereas the video slot offers a Western cowboy adventure and features 5 reels. Similarly, the traditional slot has 1 payout line, whereas the video slot has 25 lines. Video slots offer more expansive gameplay, that has different themes and bonus rounds designed around the style of a slot, whereas traditional slots are all about sticking true to the theme and gameplay of slots you would find in your local pub.

Just like bricks and mortar slots, online slots also feature progressive jackpots. However, unlike bricks and mortar slots, these jackpots are linked across worldwide networks, as opposed to just other slots on the casino or even on the Strip. Progressive jackpots can often total into the millions and anyone has a chance of winning.
