Slot Machines Q and A

The days of having to visit a land-based casino to play slots are long gone. Now in 2003 you can play slots online from the comfort of your own home, anytime you want. But are online slots the same as those found in land-based casinos? In this section we cover the most common questions that we regularly receive.

Questions and Answers

Where can I play "Jackpot Party" or "Wheel of Fortune" online?
The short answer is, you can't. The reason for this is complex but from our contacts on the inside of most of the major slot manufacturers the main reason is that they have not yet licensed their games for online use.

The great thing is that there are many, many great slot games available online. For detailed reviews of over 700 of the most popular slots online we recommend that you visit the original guide to online slots - All Online Slots

How do I go about playing Online?
This is fairly simple, all you have to do is find a slot machine or slots casino that you want to play at. Then, depending on the casino you chose you will have to either download free software or jump into the action at a No Download casino.

One thing that you will have to do before you can play anywhere is register an account. Many casinos offer a "Guest" account option where you can try out the games for free. If you want to play for REAL money online you will have to deposit some money into your casino account before you can play.

What are the odds and payouts compared with offline slots?
An interesting fact is that online casinos often offer higher percentage payback slots than land based casinos. We believe that this is due to the fact that they don't have as many staff expenses as a land based casino.

Odds at all online casinos listed at this sit are very comparable to those found in Las Vegas. It is in every casinos best interest to have regular winners or very quickly no one would play. So you will find that the slot playing experience online is very much like playing at your favorite land casino.

Is there any technical difference between online and land-based slots?
In reality the answer is, no. There is really no difference when it comes down to the way the slots work. Of course there are physical differences but these don't affect the way either type of slot game plays.

Of course back when slots were mechanical there would have been a difference. But today ALL slots have a computer inside of them which includes the Random Number Generator. It is the RNG that produces the outcomes of each spin.

Is it safe to use my Credit Card to play on-line slots?
Absolutely, the casinos listed at Slot Machines Online all feature secure transactions that are encrypted for maximum security. However, we recommend that you open an account at one of the alternative payment options to increase the amount of bonuses you can get.

All good casinos let you deposit money via services such as NETeller, FirePay, 900Pay, Citadel or PrePaidATM. The advantage of using one of these services is twofold. First you can cash in on additional bonus money and secondly you can keep track of all your gambling spending from one simple statement.

Are progressive Jackpots paid out over time like at land-based casinos?
No. The progressive jackpots available online are all paid out in one payment. Even the biggest jackpot ever won online of over $1,500,000 was paid to the happy player in one check, he became an instant millionaire as soon as he hit the winning combination on Major Millions.
