How to Play Slots for Beginners (And Experts)

, anyone who has ever set foot in las vegas or a casino anywhere, in the world. is familiar with the ringing and digging coming from slot machines. they can be very loud and intimidating, but ultimately can be very easy to play and now more than ever slots are a very, popular gaming option from the comfort, of your own home. whether on your computer or your mobile device in this video we'll show you some of the things that, you should consider before finding your. favorite game to play online, first let's go over some of the different options you'll have to choose, from while playing slots. and the first one is the denomination of the game when i say denomination of the game that, simply means how much you have to bet in order to, play this ranges anywhere from one cent also, known as penny slots. to a hundred dollars and even higher in, some places a lot of games will only offer one. denomination so if you pick a penny game that's the minimum you have to bet but. then there are multi-denomination games. as well, these will give you at least three or. four different choices of denominations you can play. let's say that you decide to play a. multi-dinam game at 25 cents simply click the 25 cent sign and it'll bring up all the other dnam options the game has for this example, let's say you want to change it to a. dollar game simply hit the dollar sign and it'll change to a dollar game, you can change the dnom after every spin, or stick with what you choose the first, time that's your call but it's worth noting that once you're, in what's called the bonus you won't be able to change the. denomination, whatever the bet was on that spin when you won the bonus, is what you're stuck with so with any, luck you would have had one of your. bigger bets at that moment. just because it may be a penny slot that doesn't mean you can only bet one cent. that's simply the minimum you have to. bet now let's get you familiar with pay. lines. a pay line in simple terms is the line, on which a payout will be made, based on the winning combinations they. range anywhere from one pick line to 150 pay lines with all kinds of, designs for the pay line before you start to play you can hit the. info or game rules at your online casino. and it'll break down all the pay lines, and the patterns that you need to get, for it to pay off knowing how many pay lines are on a game. is very important because it helps determine how many. chances you have to win and also how much you have to bet to win on all of them, it's also important to note that most pay lines move left to right. so it would start on the reel that is. furthest left on your screen there are games that have pay lines that, pay not only left to right but right to left as well giving you. more chances to win, so now that you have a grasp of the pay, lines let's talk about those reels that. we mentioned a few seconds ago, reels are the things that spin on the, screen and have the symbols on them, think of them like that big wheel on the, price is right except with symbols instead of numbers different games will have different. reels as well the standard two that. you'll see. are three and five real games typically. five real games have more pay lines and you'll need more symbols to match

or have a winning combination also. five real games tend to be lower denomination games compared to three, real games due to all the extra pay lines you can create. with those two extra reels. okay let's talk about how to bet for, this example, let's say you're on a penny game with. nine lines. you'll see some buttons on your game one. will be for how many lines you want to, bet, and the other for how much you want to. bet on each one of those lines. simply click the 9 line button and then. the 10 times bet button, and then the spin button simple as that so with that one spin in our example you would have bet, 90 cents nine lines at 10 cents per line. equals 90 cents if you're comfortable with the 90 cent. bet there will be a same bet button as. well, just hit that and it will repeat your, last bet if you aren't comfortable simply pick a different amount of lines. or how much you want to bet for the next. spin until you find a bet that you're, comfortable with. and of course the casino wants to make. it as easy as they can for you to bet. the max on a game so there will be a max bet button as well it simply shoots your bet. straight to the maximum so, now you can see how your nice little penny game can go from a one. cent bet to a 90 with one push of the, button, so be careful as there are games with a. lot more lines than just. nine lines as we used in this example. , okay so now we have a handle on how to. bet as well as the pay lines. but what exactly makes you win well. each game will have a certain number of symbols on each reel each symbol will be worth more or less than the others, think of the symbols like cards in cards we know a queen is better than a jack and therefore the queen will pay better. if you get three or more of the same symbol on a pay line, you win and if you get more than three. it'll pay better, to find out which symbols are better go. under the info or rules section and you'll be able to, see which symbols pay more than others it'll also break down how much you'll win if you have three or more symbols together you'll also find wild symbols on the, reels wild symbols turn into whatever symbol. you need to make a winning line for example if you have two queens on a. pay line and the next is a wild symbol. that would become a third queen and you. would win on that pay line. you can see some big payouts when these, come into play. there's also a bonus feature in most slots as well there are so many different types of. bonuses that i wouldn't even know where. to begin. but the most common would be awarding a, certain amount of free spins, to get into the bonus round you'll need. to get certain symbols on the screen. some games will require you to get these, symbols on a payline. and other games may just require you to. get three or more of them anywhere on a. screen to start the bonus. if you do get the free spins in a bonus round it means they're giving you a. certain amount of spins at whatever your. last bet was. bonuses are definitely a good thing and a small amount of excitement is allowed. to be shown once you get in one let's, talk about multipliers quickly. multipliers do exactly what you think they do they multiply your payout by. whatever amount the multiplier symbol is.

if you've won for example let's say you have a queen queen queen on a pay line. and it pays three dollars if there is a, two times multiplier on the screen. you would pay six pretty simple right, the most common multipliers are two, times three times and five times and just like everything, else they'll be found on a lot of games. but not all of them alright let's get down to the big bucks the thing that everybody wants to win, jackpots. what are they and how do i win one, now just like bonuses there are a lot of. different types, so we'll go over a couple and it goes, without saying that the higher denomination game you're playing the higher the jackpots will be winning a jackpot means you've gotten the. highest paying symbols on a pay line giving you the highest payout. now in order to win this jackpot on some. games you have to be betting the max bet. if you aren't betting max you'll still. get a good win. but you won't win the biggest jackpot a lot of newcomers ask why didn't i win, the jackpot i have the right combination, and every time it's the same answer. unfortunately you weren't betting the max, and of course there are games you don't. have to bet max to win a jackpot. so that is usually where the confusion. comes in most jackpots are set at a certain amount which means you would win, whatever the posted jackpot is for that game but there. are progressive jackpots as well a. progressive jackpot means with every, spin the jackpot will get. higher until someone wins it this type. of jackpot can be a single game. or a link to multiple games this would. mean that you can have multiple. people playing and adding to the jackpot. at one time. and they can get pretty big throughout this video i've mentioned many times that slots can, vary but there's one thing they all have that'll be the best tool. in your belt when starting to play the info or game rules section before. you start playing scroll through it and it'll tell you, everything that we've covered in this, video for that specific game, all the way from pay lines and what the, symbols pay to how to trigger the bonus. and what you need to do to win the big, jackpot i highly recommend looking at. this before you play any game if you're a newcomer when you get to your online casino. you'll see tons of different slot games with many different themes to choose, from land-based casinos. frequently have slot machines based on, movies or tv shows, and at online casinos you'll see some, based on things like, greek mythology or some that feature animals and so on with all their own intricate designs and. sounds so the bonus in that game will. have something to do with the theme of. the game that you chose. take some time to look through all the, options at your online casino and i guarantee that you'll find one, that fits what you're looking for, you've got the basics down so now it's time to play some slots. and try to win some big money but always remember play within your limits. and always gamble responsibly to stay up, to date on the latest game guides and strategy be sure to like share and subscribe. gamble online the world's leading resource for online. gambling information since 2008., , you,
