How Slot Machines Work

Understanding the RNG (Random Number Generator)

Let’s start with a myth buster! Imagine you walk away from a slot machine and see the next player sit down and hit the jackpot! It might seem like you just missed out, but you didn’t - because behind this heartbreaking scene, is the Random Number Generator.

Let’s break it down. RNG stands for Random Number Generator, a sophisticated algorithm that continuously generates a number sequence with no detectable pattern. Every time you hit ‘SPIN’, the RNG selects the next number from its sequence, which determines which symbols appear on the reels! Think of it as the little engine that could, tirelessly chug out numbers ensuring each spin is random, fair, and completely independent of another.

Back to our myth! Since the RNG runs continuously, the outcome would have been different if you had stayed and taken one more spin! As the RNG generates thousands of numbers every second, the exact millisecond you press 'SPIN' determines the result. Even a fraction of a second's difference changes the outcome entirely!

Paylines and Reels Explained

Symbols can't just float around your screen; they need a place to shine—and that’s on the reels! Reels are the vertical columns that spin, while paylines are the specific lines where matching symbols must land to win.

Remember trying to match lemons, cherries, or BARS across a single straight line pulling a lever at the Golden Nugget? Those nostalgic classic slots with 3-reels and a single payline are still popular games today, but now they come with extra features and more paylines, like the 3x5 reels of Fire Joker and Joker Poker. Reels can now expand or change up randomly spin by spin, as seen on Mad Melons Chaos Reels and Azticons Chaos Clusters.

Now, far from that single line, paylines can change on every spin, zig-zag, and reach tens, hundreds, and yes, even 100,000 ways to win! Wolf Powers MEGAWAYS and Extra Juicy MEGAWAYS are prime examples, offering 117,649 of them!

Bonus Features and Symbols

Bonus games, Wilds, and Scatters can randomly land and launch entirely new animated slot side games, introduce exciting themes, or trigger a game’s biggest win!

Wild symbols are power symbols, able to substitute for any other symbol, except special symbols like Scatters and Bonus symbols, to help create a winning combo. Watch for expanding Wilds on Book of Dead to cover entire reels or expand and lock during free spins in the Wild West of Sticky Bandits.

Scatter symbols are your ticket to launching special features and bonus rounds. Landing only three Scatters anywhere on the reels gets you fishing in the biggest prize pond on Big Bass Bonanza or opens the Chamber of Free Spins on Immortal Romance!

Bonus Rounds can be the peak of online slot entertainment and excitement! Usually triggered by matching symbols or a random Bonus symbol, they can be the key to unlocking a game’s biggest wins! Once launched, they’ll pop you into an entirely new side game that can involve Pick Games, Free Spins, and more!

Online Slots vs. Land-Based Slots

For decades, players have enjoyed casino games online and in land-based casinos, with both offering fair odds, quick banking, and big money wins. However, key differences still set physical and virtual games apart.

Let’s start with the pros of online casinos. It’s a long list, but we’ll keep it top tier naming free parking and pants-optional play as favourites. All joking aside, online slots offer unmatched accessibility, convenience, and game selection given they’re not confined to brick-and-mortar walls! From new releases to classic favourites, everything is at your fingertips, wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection and a device.

But what about that casino vibe? Live casinos now feature hybrid slots and games with real dealers and players, bringing that excitement and high-energy vibe of a physical casino to your screen and creating a stronger sense of being 'there.'

Slots Glossary

Classic 3-reel slots offer a touch of nostalgia to your gameplay. These traditional, old-school slot machines feature a simplistic yet entertaining set of three spinning reels and typically, a single payline.

5-Reel Slots

A touch more modern, 5-reel slots typically offer more advanced mechanics for enhanced features and more paylines to help boost your chances.

Autoplay

Give your tapping and clicking digits a rest with Autoplay. Once set, you can send the reels spinning up to 1,000x with this feature on most slots, allowing you to sit back and watch the action. For players who prefer multiple slots during their session, this is a great option!

Bet Max

The maximum bet or highest possible wager a player can stake on a single spin.

Bet Min

The minimum bet or lowest possible wager a player can stake on a single spin. Perfect for those who prefer to play it safe and extend their gaming session.

Bonus Game

Bonus Round

Often used interchangeably with ‘Bonus Game’, a Bonus Round is a mini-game or side game usually offering enhanced winning opportunities through Free Spins, Multipliers, and jackpots.

Cascading Reels

Tumbling Reels, Falling Symbols, and Cascading Reels can offer multiple winning opportunities from a single spin. Once a winning combination is formed and paid, all contributing symbols that formed the win, drop off or tumble out of view, allowing new symbols to fall into the empty spaces for more wins!

Coin Size
The value of each coin you bet in a slot game. Adjusting the coin size allows you to control the amount you wager on each spin.

Coins Per Line

The number of coins you bet on each payline. More coins per line increases your total bet.

Free Spins

A popular bonus feature in slots where you get a set number of spins without wagering any additional money. Often triggered by landing specific symbols, Free Spins give you more chances to win without dipping into your funds.

Gamble Feature

An optional feature in some slots where you can risk your winnings for a chance to double or quadruple them (or lose them entirely!). For instance, after winning a Bonus Round, players might opt for the Gamble Feature, which often involves a quick game of chance, such as predicting if a card will reveal itself as black or red, high or low.

Jackpot

The jackpot in slot games is the top prize or highest possible payout. There are a few types of jackpots, most commonly: fixed jackpots, which are set amounts that do not change, and Progressive Jackpots, which increase with each bet placed across multiple games or casinos until someone wins.

Multiplier

A feature that multiplies your winnings by a specified amount. Multiplierscan be part of the base game or triggered during bonus rounds, boosting your payout.

Payline

A line on the slot machine's reels where specific combinations of symbols must land to result in a win. Paylines can be straight, diagonal, or zigzagged, and you can usually bet on multiple paylines to increase your chances of winning.

Payout Percentage (RTP)

The Return to Player (RTP) percentage represents the theoretical payout percentage that a slot machine is expected to pay back to players over time. For example, an RTP of 96% means that, on average, for every $100 wagered, the machine will pay out $96 in winnings. RTP is calculated over a large number of spins and is a crucial factor in determining the long-term profitability of a slot game.

Progressive Jackpot

A continuously growing jackpot that ‘progressively’ builds with each bet placed across a network of games, casinos, or games within one casino like the LeoJackpot.

Random Number Generator (RNG)

The RNG is a computer algorithm used in slot machines to generate random outcomes for each spin. It ensures that the results of every spin are entirely random and independent of previous spins or future spins.

Reels

The rotating cylinders in a slot machine that display symbols. Typically, slot machines have three or more reels that spin independently when the spin button is pressed.

Spin Button

The button on a slot machine that, when clicked or tapped, starts the reels spinning.

Stacked Wilds

Wilds are symbols that substitute for most others, except special symbols. Stacked Wilds take it up a notch, stacking vertically on a reel to cover multiple positions at once, boosting the chances of forming a winning combination!

Sticky Wilds

Sticky Wilds are special symbols in slot games that remain in place on the reels for a set number of spins or until certain conditions are met. Unlike regular Wilds, which disappear after a spin, Sticky Wilds ‘stick’ to their position, increasing the chances of forming winning combinations over multiple spins.

Symbols

Quite simply, symbols are the images or icons displayed on slot reels.

Video Slots

Video slots are modern slot machines that use digital technology to display spinning reels on a screen rather than physical reels. They often feature advanced graphics, animations, and interactive bonus rounds compared to traditional mechanical slots.

Volatility

Volatility in slot games refers to the risk and reward profile of the game. It indicates how much and how often you can expect to win. Low volatility slots pay out more frequently but with smaller amounts, providing steady gameplay. High volatility slots, on the other hand, offer larger payouts but less often.

Wild Symbol

A special symbol in slot games that can typically substitute for other symbols to help create winning combinations, except for certain special symbols like Scatters.

Win Both Ways

A feature in some slot games where winning combinations can be formed from left to right and right to left, effectively doubling the number of potential winning paylines.

Win Lines

Also known as paylines, these are the lines on slot machines where matching symbols must appear to win. The number of win lines varies by game and affects the chances of winning on each spin.

Win Multipliers

Multipliers in slot games increase the payout for a winning combination by a specified amount. They can be part of the base game or triggered during bonus rounds, enhancing potential winnings.
