Slot machines are actual free-standing "machines" easily identified by their spinning reels and pull handles. The concept is simple, drop in some coins, pull the handle and hope the reel
symbols line up. Different symbols win different amounts, and there's usually a jackpot available to be won.
Slot machines are a total game of chance. There are no rules to learn, and the outcome is totally random. The ease of play, the potential huge payoffs, the noise and the excitement level
around the slot area all contribute to a high entertainment value for some.
Slot machines come in a variety of forms with diverse symbols on the wheels and numerous payout systems. Slot machines can have from three to five reels/wheels and one to five payoff lines.
In all of them the basic idea is the same, to line up particular symbols on the payout line. The less likely a combination is to occur, the greater the payoff.
The most basic slot machines require you to bet one coin (a fixed amount such as a dollar), they have only three reels, only one payout line, and pay a multiple of the bet coins value
(e.g. Three cherries on the payout line will result in a payout 300 times the bet coins value). The player inserts the coin and pulls a handle (or presses a button on the front panel) and waits for
the wheels to stop on the payout line to see if, and how much they have won (the payout symbols and payoff values are posted on the front of the machine). The more complex machines accept
more than one coin (up to five), can have up to five wheels, and many also have up to five payout lines (three across and two diagonal).
Progressive slots are very similar to regular slot machines with one
difference, there is a jackpot that is constantly gaining in value. The
value of the jackpot is updated regularly and displayed at all times on
top of the screen. Progressive slots are a group of a great number of
slot machines that are linked together by a network. A small percentage
of the money that is wagered on each game on each machine in the
network, is added to the total progressive jackpot. Anyone playing any
machine in the network can win the jackpot.
One thing about progressive slots is that the Progressive Jackpot is
not shown in coins but it's shown in credits. For example, if the
progressive reads out 9,700 it means credits not that many coins. In
progressive slots the jackpots are considerably larger than regular
jackpots, some are large enough to be life changing.
There are two major things to remember about all progressive slots,
first the money for the jackpot comes from a part of the money played
through the machine and second is that in order to win the jackpot you
absolutely must be playing the maximum coins. If you don't want to play
the max then progressives are not what you want to play. The jackpot in
the progressive slots keeps growing until one lucky player hits it big.
After a progressive jackpot has been won the network of machines gets
reset to a pre-determined number and the play starts again. Always look
for the slot game with the biggest jackpot there is a better chance that
it will be won sooner. If you are that lucky player and you do win the
progressive jackpot then a splash screen will appear to let you know
that you have it.
What a lot of progressive slot players are not aware of is that
there are two levels of play, primary and secondary. A primary jackpot
is the very top jackpot that if offered when a player gets the
combination which will pay for the jackpot. The top or primary jackpot,
is the jackpot that shows the most money and is usually shown with a
bigger display than secondary jackpots. Secondary jackpots are displayed
much smaller but like the primary jackpots they still increase according
to the amount of play through money. The secondary jackpots are hit more
often so they don't usually have jackpots that are as large as the
primary. If both jackpots are high (primary and secondary) this
indicates that neither one have been hit, but have had a lot of play so
the chances of winning the jackpot sooner are much greater. A player has
many choices to make when they are about to play progressive slots, as
long as you know what you are looking for and are well informed on the
rules and payouts you should do very well.

A single Blue Star symbol on the payline completes
the winning combination of a single Cherry symbol.
With 2 coins bet, a single Cherry symbol combination
pays out 4 coins. However, a Blue Star symbol is displayed,
so the payout is 4 x 2 = 8 coins.
Two Blue Star symbols and a 3-Bar symbol on the
payline, combine to produce a three 3-Bar symbols
combination. With 2 coins bet, a three 3-Bar symbols
combination pays out 100 coins. However, two Blue
Star symbols are showing, so the payout is 100 x 4
= 400 coins.
