ONLINE SLOTS

Slots: the quintessential casino game; the easiest and quickest way to win (or lose); and a nice, cozy way to ease into betting and gambling. It’s a game that anyone can play, without needing to study complex rules, hands and scores. It’s all handled by the machine, you just need to let the magic happen.

Since the very first slot machine, the Liberty Bell, was invented in 1895, game developers have strived to continuously innovate and create exciting games. Over the decades, they have brought all kinds of themes, designs and styles to this popular casino attraction. Once the internet started being widely used, online casinos popped up all over the place, and this was truly the time for slots to shine. Today, slot games make up the bulk of online casino games – in fact, many offer nothing but slots. Slots are all controlled by random number generators (RNG), which means there is no way to cheat. If you don’t believe us, check out our piece on slot strategies, which explains just how it all works.

There is absolutely no way on earth that we could give you a complete list of all the variants in slots. Because of the extremely simple nature of the game, it is possible to add a new twist, spin or payline to just about any game and make it almost entirely new. On top of that, game developers are constantly designing new slots to bring to market, and competing with each other for market share. As a result, you can get anything from a game with three straight paylines, three reels and just a few simple symbols, to one with several reels – some of them split – tens of paylines, and multiple unique symbols, each with its own special feature. Some slots also have bonus side games like wheel spins.

Naturally, the variations don’t stop with the game’s structure. The themes are endless, covering adventure, wildlife, fairy tales, movies, sports, casino card games, music… there are even games around holiday themes. They have different, often mind-blowing, animation styles, music and sound effects, as well, making every game a new experience.

Slots are the ultimate introduction to the online casino and live casino environment. For people who have never gambled before, it’s a fun way to kill some time, find out what the hype is about, and place a few bets without losing too much. 

Of course, there are plenty of seasoned slots players who not only have their favourite games and providers, but study the intricate details of the game, like its volatility and variance, to figure out just how to place the perfect bet and chase the jackpot. Slots are for anyone and everyone, it’s really just about finding the games with the theme, style and pace that suit you.
