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).
Once you join the family, you will immediately earn casino credits
for cash and comps each time you play a slot or video poker machine.
To start just visit the casino slot club booth and ask to sign up.
The host or hostess will tell you how the program works, ask you to
fill out an application, and give you your own plastic club card. When
you sit down at a slot machine from that moment on, inset the club card
into the special card reader. The reader will either start spitting
out tickets or automatically register the total amount of coins you
have played into the slot club's central computer. When you leave one
machine, take your card and insert it into the next machine you play,
or you'll miss earning more valuable credits.
At the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, for example, you get one ticket
for every $75 you play. By the time you're done playing you can easily
have a trail of tickets a few feet long, and you can redeem each ticket
at the slot booth for 50 cents. In addition to the cash value, a sizable
collection of tickets will not only get you free-meal comps, it'll let
you move to the head of the restaurant line with the rest of the VIPs.
.
Some clubs will allow you to earn credits and comps by playing quarter
machines and higher. Others require minimum play on dollar machines
or higher. If you are a quarter-machine player, do not step up to the
dollar machines simply to earn slot club comps and bonuses. You will
be playing beyond your risk level and bankroll, and any credits and
comps you earn will not be worth the added risk and potential losses.
If you play quarters, join slot clubs that reward quarter players. There
are fewer of them, but they do exist.
