What can online casino offer to fans of slot machines? Well, practically everything, that real halls can, plus something more than that. But before we look into online slot machine halls, let's give a meaning to several notions. "One-handed gangsters" are already separated into two categories called slots and video slots (meaning a slot of a coin-receiver). Classical slots represent three mechanic barrels with a possibility to play on 1-5 lines. Video slots are a video screen 3x5 with the game on 9-30 lines with rich additional bonus possibilities.

One can find both kinds of playing machine in an online casino. From the viewpoint of the games quantity and their functional possibilities online games don't yield (and also to some degree they could exceed) to offline ones. The doubtless leader in the slots quantity and quality will be the "Microgaming" software. The downloaded versions suggest up to 180 kinds of distinct slot machines, classic ones and video slots in about equal parts. The classic slots suggest a game from 1 to 5 lines. There may be up to 10 plays with progressive jackpots which average sums vary from 5 thousand to more than one million dollars. The very first 9-line video slots appeared several years ago. The play "Tomb raider" (which is known thanks to the video game as well as the film "Lara Croft, tomb plunder") still holds much favour. Lara's picture of 4 floors height can even be observed in the company "Microgaming" office. Next 20- and also 30-line video slots appeared. The video slots provide with an opportunity to win cost-free bonus rounds including prize multiplication, additional bonus games, the possibility to risk and double the win, jackpots of hundred thousand dollars. The maximum prize of such games will likely be $40-200 thousand. There are actually of course "wild" and bonus symbols, animation that is all the number of possibilities for just what the players love it video slots. Besides, the player can set the quantity of games and after that games start will be conducted automatically.

The other place would be rather given to the casino with the soft of the company "Criptologic". Recently they have concluded a treaty with a popular comics publisher - the company "Marvel" and also have already created more than ten video slots with popular comics heroes (we know, for instance, such personages as Hulk and Spiderman). All in most, the casino suggests more than 50 classical video slots, covering 9-20 lines with the abundance of possibilities. Another unique possibility, provided for payers of the British casino "William Hill" will be the alternative of English "fruity" slot-machines that function with an opportunity of "pushing" the drum to be able to make it move for a little while giving a player the winning combination. At the moment when I am writing these lines jackpot on the video slot "Millionaires' Club" exceeds $3,5 ml., which is two times just as much as the previous record for the on-line casino. When you obtain a current issue of the journal, the jackpot will either reach the sum of $4 ml. or it's going to be hit and consequently it will constitute its original sum of $400 thousand.

Such producers of slots as "RTG" and "Playtech" yield a little as to the diversity of slots (but not as to their functionality). You can find classical slots and video slots with diverse functions and jackpots such as the ones at one million dollar. Only the "Boss Media" out of five provider leaders yields a little its competitors as to the quality of slots, nevertheless they too possess video slots, at least for nine lines and without a full abundance of possibilities.

While evaluating slots online, it truly is necessary to consider such a burning question as the portion of payment. Unfortunately, in spite of the numerous players' requests the absolute majority of casinos don't show the laid in to the game portion of payment. On the flip side, one can attempt to estimate it. One example is the casinos with the software from "Microgaming" and "Criptologic" publish monthly common payment percentages, notarized by auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers. So a normal payment percentage of all of the slots usually varies in the selection of 94-96 %.

As a conclusion, I want to point out that an online casino represents a very wide choice of different kinds of playing machines that do not yield with their functional characteristics to those ones you can see in playing rooms. The pluses of the internet playing will be more comfort conditions, wide selection of stakes, the presence of bonuses that may double your means for playing. Besides, some casinos provide the details about payments in pawn and the honesty guarantee that is hard to see in real world. For this reason, if somebody decides to play slots in an online casino (s)he won't regret it.
