When Charles Fey invented the Liberty Bell slot machine in 1895 we doubt he had any idea of just how big his invention was. From that moment on slot game manufacturers have been improving on his designs and finally the latest development - the video slot machine.

There are thousands of different variations, some with up to fifty winning lines and special additional bonus games. This makes for a high hit percentage and a more entertaining playing experience.

How to Play Video Slots

Video Online Slots are the same as regular slots found in land-based casinos but they use a video display and five reels, instead of the three spinning wheels found on the traditional three-reel format.

There are enhanced graphics and other video and audio effects which are not present on three-reel slots and which create an exciting playing experience. Whereas three-reel slots usually have one payline, video slots always have more than one and sometimes as many as nine paylines. As in three-reel slots, various symbol combinations falling on the activated paylines is what generates a win and payout.

Video Slots Variations

Video online slots carry various other symbols such as scatter symbols, multipliers and wild symbols. There are also games which offer bonus screens and even a gambling feature where a player can risk his entire win for the opportunity of potentially doubling or even quadrupling it.

Video Slots Tips

• It is recommended that players look at the paytable to see the winning combinations before starting to play. It may be necessary to click through to another screen to view the paytable. The Video-Slots paytables are more complex than three-reel slots, but are easy to understand.
• As described in Three-Reel Slots, it is important to understand the difference between coin size and number of coins bet. (Refer to the ‘Tips’ section on three-reel slots for details).
• Some video slots, such as Thunderstruck or Spring Break, have an option to bet a certain number of coins per line. In this case a player needs to decide carefully what coin size he is going to play, how many paylines he wants to activate and how many coins to play per line. In betting the maximum number of lines and the maximum number of coins, a bet can add up to 45 coins per spin!
• Players must read all the notes. Some Video slots carry rules which say that winning combinations must start in either reel 1 or 5 and will not therefore be paid out if the combination occurs in reels 2, 3 or 4.

Video Slots Bonus

One of the biggest draw cards of video slot machines is the additional bonus games. Not only do they give you a whole new way to win but they can be very entertaining. Considering that playing slots should always be fun this can really give you even more value for money.

While there are thousands of different slot games there are really only a handful of different bonus types. In this article we outline the most common and explain what happens when you hit the feature.

The first thing we can do is separate the feature types into "On the Reels" and "Off the Reels". As the names suggest, the first type of bonuses occur on the normal five spinning reels while the second group occur on a separate bonus screen or even a different part of the machine.
