In an attempt to bring something new and different to the slot player, some variations on the basic slot machines have been introduced. Some of these include:
Progressive machines:.
These multiple-coin machines do not payoff a set payoff rather the jackpot increases with each play. If no one has hit the jackpot for some time the jackpot can grow to gargantuan size. While
the odds are small the payoff can be huge. One note, if playing at a casino and you are lucky enough to hit a big one, do not leave the machine. The machines are programmed to pay only a
percentage in coins the rest of the winnings will be paid out by a check issued by the casino. Stay at the machine until a casino employee comes over to the machine, should you leave some
scam artists are all too willing to quickly sit at the machine and claim that the payoff is theirs.
Double or nothing machines:.
Some slots have added a wheel that can be played after a win. These doubling wheels are even bets, you have a 50/50 chance of doubling (or losing) your winnings. They do not change the
house edge on the machine, but do add a bit of spice to the game that some players enjoy.
Nudge machines:.
Have a light mounted on them that comes on occasionally. If on the player may move (nudge) a wheel forward or backward one location. Sometimes this is all that is required
for a losing hand to become a winner. The house edge on these machines is generally the same as for regular slots.
Wheel-of-Fortune Machines:.
These machines contain a wheel mounted on top of a slot machine and also a sizable progressive jackpot. When the winning symbols appears on the slot machine the wheel spins and the player has a chance at winning the wheel-of fortune jackpot.
Operation M.Y.O.W.
(Make Your Own Win) is a 3-reel game where players choose from
five different pay tables and each pay table is displayed on
the machine. It may be played in denominations of $.05, $.25,
$.50, $1, and $5. The theme of this slot machine is feline (cat)
with an Asian flair with pay table symbols including Coi, Dragons,
Flowers, etc. In addition, cat icons represent the five lucky
colors. Each pay table has a distinctive name and lucky color.
The names are: Lucky (White), Catman (Purple), Kung Fu Kitty
(Yellow), Catzilla (Green), and The King (Pink). Players have
the ability to scroll through the set of five different pay tables
and play on the one that they choose. The player chooses between
the different pay tables at anytime by selecting a prominently
displayed ‘Next Paytable’ button. Each pay table has
different payouts, but the wheels work the same regardless of
which one the player has chosen. A player can change, at any
time, to a new pay table and each one has its own flavor. The
players’ choice does not affect the way the wheels stop.
Overall, the pay tables have very similar odds to the player.
The
game has a bonus game where you can win free spins. TO qualify
for the Gator Alley game you must have 3 or more Bonus symbols
displayed in a line on an enabled pay-line. In the bonus game,
5 alligators are displayed. You choose 2 alligators, they will
display a random number (2-10) of free spins. Every Free Spin
has a guaranteed payout. All winning combinations during the
Free Spins are multiplied by a random multiplier value (1-5).
