The slot machine is perhaps the most popular casino games around. Slots is definitely one of the permanent fixtures of any casino. It has also found its way into online casinos, which enabled it to reach more players.

However, many people are still curious how casino slots work. Many also want to know how they can it goes so that they can find ways to get an edge in the game. As it turns out. It is relatively easy to understand how the game actually runs.

In order to get to know how electronic slots work, you need to first understand how the basic slot machines run. Basically all slot machines have three to five reels which have symbols in them. All reels have the same symbols and what you need to do is to line up certain symbols to get a prize. In older slot machines, the reels are controlled mechanically, which means you only need to look up the possible combinations of all the symbols to gauge your chances of winning.

However, while the reels and symbols are still present in the modern electronic slot machine, the method of its operation is quite different. The electronic slots, as is with its online counterpart, is run using an program called a random number generator or RNG. The RNG is already preprogrammed in the machines circuit.

The RNG is basically a program that creates various number combinations during every turn and randomly selects a number sequence as the winning combination. It uses an algorithm to determine the combinations. The program then again randomly select which reel display to attach the combination. This means that the reels that you see on screen are purely for aesthetic purposes and will not show you the actual number combination. Also, the program can attach the winning number to several reel combinations, which makes it even less likely to determine the winning combination from the reels alone.

Perhaps one of the most frequent misconceptions about the electronic slots is that, since it is run by a computer program, it runs through a cycle and will repeat a particular pattern. This is often the basis of so called slot machine tips that require you to play until a pattern appears. Truth is, it does run on a cycle, but probably not in the course of a casino session. You see, the RNG is programmed to calculate up to four billion number combinations every spin. This means that you will probably need more than a hundred years of continuous play in order to go through all of them. Also, the program reorganizes the different combinations randomly each time, so any pattern wouldnt become apparent. The “cycle” that can bee seen is the use of the reel symbols, which resets when all the possible symbol combinations are used up. However, the amount of possible combinations are so high that you wont be able to get a pattern.

In the end, it seems that you wont be able to beat the electronic slot machine. Rather, you will have to settle for strategies that would make good use of your bets and not rely on trying to guess the winning combinations.

Casino Slot Machines: Then and Now

Jon — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:19:33 +0000

Before speaking about slots let’s see when the first gambling machine appeared. Be aware that a gambling machine and a slot machine isn’t the same. So, the first gambling machine appeared in the 19th century and it was invented by Sittman and Pitt. In fact, it was like video poker as there were used playing face cards as symbols and the payout depended on poker hands. But if you had played then you wouldn’t have got money in the case of a win. Your win would have been food or drinks from the bar in which the gambling machine was situated. A little later there appeared the first slot machine, which was based on the same principle.

Nearly everybody knows what a slot is. Even if you have never played slots you have seen them for sure. Nowadays slots are an integral part of all modern casinos. Gamblers take slots for granted, millions of people play slots, but very few know when they were invented and who was the inventor.

All slots at modern casinos are based on the construction, which was invented by Charles Fey in 1887. The first slot consisted of three mechanically spinning reels. Every reel had ten sections with different pictures on them. If three equal pictures come out at the same time it was a win. In 1889 there appeared slots, which gave an opportunity to win the jackpot. Then the jackpot was paid when the total weight of all coins in a slot machine ran up to a certain edge. But slots of this kind didn’t exist for a long time, as they didn’t make a profit for slot owners as players found a way out. It was enough to punch a playing machine and the coins came out. The next version of the game was much simpler. There were three sections (or slots) inside of a playing machine. When a player made a bet to play a slot the coin fell in one of the 3 sections. One of the sections was a winning section. If the coin fell in a winning section a player got three coins back. Later slots became more and more popular. For example, there were up to 2000 slot machines only in San Francisco. In 1895 there was invented a slot machine, on which all modern slots are based. Fey’s slot was called “Liberty Bell”. The slot consisted of three parallel discs with numbers on them. A player pulled the lever, which made the discs reel. A certain number combination was a winning combination. Then the combination of numbers “4-11-44” was a winning combination.

There were a lot of disputes about slots and their right for existence. In the 20th century they were forbidden in the USA. As a result there appeared so-called “Liberty Bell Gum Fruit” slots. The principle was the same, but people used these machines for buying a bubble gum and with the bubble gum they got an opportunity to win money, they were given a spin. The symbols were different fruits, the most popular tastes of a chewing gum. That’s why these machines were called “fruit machines”. And still a lot of slots have the same symbols. Moreover, the BAR symbol, which still exists as a wild symbol, came from those slot machines.

Other slot machines were an electro-mechanical slot machine “Money Honey”, which appeared in 1964 and “Dollar Slot Machine”, which appeared in 1970. Later in 1980 the first video poker slot machine was invented. You can see yourself that the development of slots is very fast and the main reason of it is their popularity.

Of course the modern slots are different. There is no lever to pull, it is enough to push the button, there are no mechanical reels, and you can see everything on the screen. The computer will do everything for you, you just make bets you want and push the button. The choice of slots is very wide. Everybody will be able to find something to his liking. There are different wild and scatter symbols, different bonuses and bonus rounds, and the jackpots are also different. You are only to make a choice!

The slot machines have been existing for about 120 years and one can find them nearly everywhere: at casinos, cafes, different stores and even at online casinos, which give you an opportunity to play your favorite slots at home!

Online Casino Reviews With The Personal Touch

Jon — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:15:10 +0000

Having spent the last three last weeks going from online casino to bingo hall to poker room It soon occurred to me that many online casinos are a lot better than others. It is not just the graphics or bonus offers that make a casino good or bad but moreso regarding licenses, software and withdrawal limits.

It may shock you to know that many bingo rooms have such an incredibly high withdrawal limit that once $20 has been deposited you then have to get up to the $70 mark before you get to see any of your winnings! That would mean either winning big straight away, or doodling along winning a few $10 prizes here and there. Those that play will understand that winning at bingo is a lot harder that one may think.

There are certainly some great poker rooms out there, it is amazing to note just how many tournaments exist that can be played for free but won for real cash. Some, if you look close enough offer a $5k free roll every week. Obviously you have to be in quick to get a seat at the tables, but to have a chance of winning that much money on cards for free is something that should be celebrated.

The numerous online casinos that were filtered through over the last few weeks were somewhat impressive. Those from Microgaming and Playtech had their usual burst of colour and great Progressive Jackpots and it was hard to find much fault in them. Even the VIP and Loyalty programs were very good where added extras were concerned and although in some cases you had to be a high roller to take part in them, it made very good reading.

Slightly newer casinos did pop up and look to be doing very well. Not only in offering bonuses but in providing the most important thing when it comes to online gambling and that is a 24/7 customer support service. After calling all of those listed on Manhatton Slots it was nice to discover that 91% of them offered immediate support with the other 9% providing answers after within a 24 hour period.

A “biggy” that I did discover is that there are not too many “really good” bookmakers out there. There are about a thousand bookies which include rogues too and only about 12 really got their boxes fully ticked with good. Others tended to drift more in the lines of slots and casinos and were quite pushy in their approach to making a sign up.

Something that needs to be done to all those that are guilty is to remove the annoying “Would you like to download while you browse” pop up that tends to be on some of the lesser online casinos. If a human being wishes to download something they shall do so in their own time and forcing the issue by providing pop ups every time you navigate to another page is no good for anyone, least of all the player, who may have left the site by the time the pop up finishes.

A very interesting three weeks, a lot of money spent but a great personal touch to online casino reviews, all of which can now be read at QwertyCasino.com

Online casino information needed – What casino has the best online slots?

Best online casino for blackjack and slots, please?

Jon — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:52:58 +0000

I posted a question earlier about free money to play blackjack at an online casino. I really like the slots too. Where’s the best place for both? The other day I found a casino with different bonuses depending on the type of game that you play. I can’t remember which casino it was, but why would online casinos have different bonuses depending on the type of game you like to play? Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Where’s the best online casino for slots and blackjack?

All the online casinos that I have played at do not have good blackjack and slots. Any recommendations? ... more

Not A Regular Online Casino Review, This Is My Vegas Red Review

Jon — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:13:10 +0000

Introduction
Lets set the record straight here my readers, this review is not one of those generic garbage reviews that you see all over the net that are being regurgitated every second. This is MY own Vegas Red online casino review.

The Bait

From the moment I entered Vegas Red’s main website, I was impressed by the site design, a couple of seconds later, this was ruined by a popup of a chat screen trying to shove a deposit bonus down my throat. I took a deep breadth and decided to give this online casino a go without dismissing it into my huge and ever growing pile of scam online casinos. Besides, I wanted to find out what the catch was behind the $888 bonus.

Integrity

With an overwhelming sense of curiosity, I was doing my best to scan through all the terms and conditions (in really small print might I add) governing this $888 bonus and to my surprise didn’t find anything that could harm me from getting this $888 bonus (apart from the wagering requirement). A quick scan through their website also informed me that Vegas Red is regulated in Antigua and Barbuda and audited by Technical Systems Testing (TST) which are on my white list. At this point, Vegas Red passed part 1 of my reliability test.

With adrenaline rushing through my veins, I proceeded to making a deposit (a small one I might add) just to test the waters and was immediately appraised by a member of the support team who tried to shove another bonus down my throat. Man they can get annoying at times. Vegas Red offered me a 100% online casino bonus which is essentially double my deposit. Now to put Vegas Red’s integrity to the test and also get a feel for their withdrawal process, I proceeded with a withdrawal. One downside to the withdrawal process is that you cannot withdraw to any other method other than you deposit method. I used Moneybookers and got the money back in four days. Hmm that’s pretty standard (I didn’t get my bonus duh). I deposited again and Vegas Red put me up for a second deposit bonus as mentioned in their website and as promised they gave me 25% of my deposit. You might think its not much but trust me my friends many a online casino have fooled its patrons by offering huge online casino bonuses spread over multiple deposits. What these casinos don’t tell you is that as soon as you withdraw, you are not eligible to receive any more bonuses.

Flexibility

Vegas Red passed my integrity test. Now I had to find out how much they value customers and reputation. I call this my flexibility test. In this test, I will place bets on restricted games such as Roulette etc. Use my strategies, win some money and fulfill my wagering requirements by playing their slots games. I e-mailed them to confirm if I had fulfilled wagering requirements and proceeded with quite a substantial withdrawal. This is the deal breaker my friends…Most dodgy online casinos will try their utmost best to find any loop hole they can to screw you. Trust me, many of these have refused to process a withdrawal based on the fact that I wagered on a ‘restricted’ game EVEN though I lost the wager and EVEN though I played ‘unrestricted’ games and fulfilled wagering requirements. Vegas Red did not even complain. I got my money in four days and Vegas Red deserves a spot on my top list.
