How To Play - Video Slots

In the same pattern as a standard Slot Machine - Video Slots are just the same but often with more 'Win Lines' available and better graphics to entice the player. You may also find that some of these Slot Machines offer 'Bonuses' and 'Free Spins' when certain symbols appear on the screen - these only serve to make the game more eventful and to create a goal for the player to work towards. This is because the majority of 'Bonus' games offer a large prize and give the player a chance to win some real money.

Let us take this Slot Machine on the right as an example - based on the popular game show 'Family Fortunes' - this Slot Machine has 5 'Win Lines' - Top Row Horizontal, Middle Row Horizontal, Bottom Row Horizontal, Top Row Diagonal (Passing from Queen - Cherries - Wild - Jack - Queen) and Bottom Row Diagonal (Passing from Bar - Cherries - Scatter - Jack - Cherries). It is on these lines that the player is able to win - so the more matching symbols he/she gets in a row on that line - the more money he/she receives. Check out some of the Best Online Casino Here!

As you can see in the next Picture - there are three 'Mystery Symbols.' These all have certain purposes and will be explained as we go along.

As you can see in the next image, the player has spun the wheels betting one coin on each of the five available 'Win Lines' and has matched 5 Bar Symbols in a row - thereby winning himself 60 Coins as a prize. Although the chances of this are rare - they are made easier with the use of the 'Wild Symbol' as shown lower down the page.

Let us now come to the first 'Mystery Symbol' - the 'Wild Symbol'. This can replace any other symbol except another 'Mystery' variety. It can act as anything from a Bar to a King or an Ace. When it appears on the screen next to matching symbols - or between them as below - then the player will win on that spin.

The second and usually most valuable 'Mystery Symbol' is the Game Feature - in this case the 'Family Fortune' Symbol - which represents a passage through to the Bonus Game. In this Video Slot Machine - when the player spins three of these symbols onto the screen - the Bonus Game is started - and the chance to win a lot of money becomes available to the player.

As you can see next - the Bonus Game usually involves a separate image with various special effects to draw attention to the 'importance' of it and the prizes available. It is not easy to get onto the Bonus Game - so when one does - they should take care to read the rules as to ensure that they make the most of their chance. In this one the player has to select which person might be able to best answer a 'Family Fortunes' style question and the points can then be multiplied in the subsequent rounds.

The final 'Mystery Symbol' to explain is the 'Scatter Symbol'. This often appears in games and when three of more of them appear on the screen or on a particular 'Win Line' - a number of Free Spins are granted to the player - with the prizes being multiplied throughout the duration of them. In this scenario - the player has won 10 Free Spins at a multiplier of 3X Normal Win.

Once the player has finished his Free Spins he will usually be informed of how much he has won as a testament to how 'Great' the Bonus Games are and to incite him to keep playing till he can repeat this lucky event. (See Below for Winning Prize Image).
