Slot machines fall into two categories,
Straight slot machine.- Slot machines that have set jackpot
payouts according to the machines' payout schedule.
For example.
If you are playing a straight quarter slot machine depending on it's
payout schedule, winning a jackpot by betting one quarter would give you
200 coins, a two quarter bet wins 600 coins and the max bet would win
you a jackpot of 2000 coins.
Progressive slot machine.- These slot machines have jackpots
which are tied into a bank of machines (more than one machine on a
row), a carousel of machines (group of machines on a round platform)
or even tied into other machines at different casinos.
Progressive slot machines will have an electronic board attached to
the top of the machine that displays the progressive jackpot. Each of
the slot machines in the progressive group, when played, increases the
progressive jackpot.
For example,
Say you walk into a casino and see a bank of "Wheel of Fortune"
progressive slot machines. You can see they are progressive by noticing
the payout schedule has progressive listed as the top jackpot.
Each time someone plays any machine on this progressive bank, the
electronic board displaying the jackpot increases.
When a player hits the progressive jackpot, they win whatever dollar
amount is listed on the electronic board.
Things to remember about progressive slots.
-The odds of winning are usually about 2% more. This really does not
matter since winning is a matter of luck anyway.
-Most importantly, in order to win the progressive jackpot you must
bet the maximum bet. If you don't feel comfortable betting the maximum,
I would chose a straight slot rather than playing a progressive slot
machine.
Even though the odds of winning on a progressive slot may only be a
tad bit more, there would be nothing worse then to be betting one coin
and hit the progressive jackpot, only to win a few hundred instead of
the thousands of dollars the max bet might return.

El Toro is a
3-reel 1-line classic slot machine with an interactive bonus
game. The pay table is displayed on the machine. El Toro slots
may be played in denominations of $.05, $.25, $.50, $1, and $5.
El Toro slots is RealTime Gaming’s first three-reel machine
with an interactive bonus game. The bonus game consists of a
matador on the left side of the pay table and a bull on the right
side of the pay table. A player must make a 3-coin wager in order
to be eligible for the bonus game. When a player receives a matador
and a bull icon on the same spin wagering 3 coins, the “Bullfight”
bonus game becomes active. Players choose who they think will
win – the bull or the matador. Players make their choice
by selecting only one of the icons on either side of the pay
table. Once they have made their selection, the bullfight begins.
The bull icon on the reel charges the matador icon. Either the
bull will flatten the matador or the matador will successfully
dodge the bull. The player wins the bonus (200 credits) if they
have chosen the winner correctly. If the player makes the wrong
selection, a nominal amount is awarded (10 credits). In addition,
a rose icon (wild) matches any symbol on the pay line except
for the matador and bull icons. El Toro may also be configured
as a local progressive game, where a 3-coin bet (max bet) hitting
three “Red Sevens” on the pay line wins you the local
progressive jackpot total, which appears just above the reels.
