The basics

To understand Slots, it’s important to first cover the basics so you’re ready to spin the reels!

Online Slots can also be known as slot machines or video Slots – amongst other things.

They are some of the simplest games to play, but what else should you know?

• Reels and paylines

When picking any slot game, you’ll usually be met with a set of spinning reels – in a standard game it will likely be three or five reels, but the number can differ.

These reels are filled with a variety of symbols, depending on your chosen game (but we’ll get into that more later).

The paylines are the patterns in which you may see matching combinations, but these can also vary from slot to slot.

• Symbols

Now back to symbols – Slot games offer a variety of symbols that can mean many things or just act as standard symbols.

Within fruit games, you’ll unsurprisingly find a variety of fruit-themed symbols. And with other themed games, you’ll find their symbols match the theme.

There are special symbols, including wild symbols and scatter symbols. Wilds can substitute for other symbols to create matching combinations and scatters can trigger extra features, like a free spin round.

What symbols will you find along the reels?

• Betting

As you familiarise yourself with the reels, you can then choose whether to play some demos or wager on a game of your choice.

There are a variety of betting options to choose from, but before making your decision you’ll see a paytable that displays the values of each symbol and the payout for various matching combinations.

Understanding the paytable could help your decision-making, but remember that a slot game is chance-based, so there’s no guarantee of success.

• Volatility 

Each online slot will have different volatility levels, representing how often a slot triggers success and the typical size of a payout.

High volatility Slots offer larger but less frequent payouts, whilst low volatility Slots provide more frequent but smaller payouts.

• Bankroll management 

One of the most important parts of any slot game is to play responsibly by setting a budget and sticking to it.

You should only wager what you can afford to lose, and know your playing limits when spinning the reels.

Taking into account how volatile a slot is will help you pick the right game for you based on the size of your bankroll and how long you’d like to spend playing.
