How casino slot machines work?
Most people know what a poker machine or the slot machines look like, but few people know how they actually work. Here, we’ll break down how your online slots really work and hopefully dispel any misconceptions or worries you might have about gambling your cash on Joe Fortune’s online slots.
The first thing you should know about online pokies is that it’s all random and the online machine that you’ve chosen to play has no memory of your play. That means that it doesn’t know whether you’ve been playing it for 10 mins or an hour. It will continue to generate random combinations for you and the progressive jackpot will continue to grow until it’s won. Hopefully by you.
Your slot machine online runs on a computer algorithm called an RNG or Random Number Generator. This bit of programming creates random strings of numbers continuously, so your slot machine is always generating your game combinations randomly. Remember, the slot game you’re playing doesn’t hold any memory. When you’re playing, it’s constantly generating random combinations for each of your spins regardless of how long you have been playing that slot. So, it is mathematical equations that are driving the outcome of each of your spins and when the right sequence comes up, you win. The results of each of your spins are not pre-programmed in any way. Your chance of winning is based on this Random Number Generator and not on any pre-determined number of spins, wins, losses, etc. The slot has no idea how much you have won.
On a slot machine at the casino, you deposit your cash and the reels spin every time you hit the button. Your online slots are pretty similar. The RNG is spitting out random numbers every millisecond or so, so when you click the mouse, whatever number was generated in that split second determines which symbol you get on the reel.
For example, on a three-reel slot machine, the RNG programming makes a number for each reel. Each number that is generated corresponds to a symbol on each reel. A number is generated for reel 1, reel 2, reel 3 and the corresponding symbol comes up when you stop the spin. It’s the same as if you’re playing a five-reel machine. A number is generated for reel 1, reel 2, reel 3, reel 4 and reel 5. They determine the symbols, the symbols determine your sequence and your combination. Easy.
You might be interested in having a go at a video slot or five-reel game. The video slot games can feature 50 or 100 individual play lines. When you press play, the Random Number Generator goes to work again, and your reel stops based on the random numbers assigned to the symbols. When the final reel comes to a stop, your winnings are calculated and added to you balance.
So, three-reel vs. five-reel slots? Which is best for me?
Well, five-reel online slots are bigger payers and your betting options are greater too. The jackpots tend to be bigger too so if you like gambling for a larger payout then checking out our video slots could be right up your alley. Three-reel slots are still lots of fun and you can still win plenty on a three-reel machine. The best way to find out which type of machine suits your play best is probably just to give each of them a bit of a try.
How do I win at slot machines?
Hopefully we’ve explained enough about how our online slots actually work that you’re not worried about your spins being pre-programmed or your online games discriminating against you because you were on a hot streak and winning all afternoon. How you win at the slot machines really depends on how you choose to bet, what you’re prepared to wager and what type of games interest and excite you.
If you haven’t ever played online pokies before then it’s probably best to take a good look at what’s available at Joe Fortune. Know your machines and know you games, including the minimum and maximum bids and what kind of coins you’re gambling with. It’s important to know what your betting and when so that you can properly bankroll your fun.
At the end of the day, winning real money on your online slots is supposed to be fun and exciting. What you are really looking for is that thrill of not knowing what’s going to happen between one spin and the next. Bonus games, free spins and multipliers are all part of the fun too. They give your games an edge and help generate that sense of excitement you’ve been looking for. The fact that you can walk away with real money is the bonus!
Each of our online slot games are slightly different, offering slightly different ways that you can win big on each of them. If you like big jackpots then a progressive jackpot machine is probably a great place to start at your online casino.
To win the jackpot – which just constantly increases with every bet every player on that machine is making until it’s finally won – you have to ensure that you are betting the maximum bid during your spin. To win the spin, your sequence has to hit specific symbols while you’re on a maximum bid spin. If you haven’t chosen to bet the maximum bid then you won’t win the jackpot but you might still qualify for lesser prizes depending on the game. These can still payout well or get you free spins, etc.
Take a look at the many games we’ve made available for you and give everything a go. When you’ve found your machine, you’ll know. We’ll deliver you a fun, uninterrupted play experience that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you happen to be. No need to dress up, no need to battle the Brisvegas crowds.
