Getting Started:

Vegas Slots requires a browser such as FireFox, Internet Explorer, Edge, or Chrome with Adobe Flash installed and Javascript enabled. This excludes many phones and tablets, but most PC and Mac users already meet these prerequisites, or easily can by simply installing Flash - a free and safe plugin from Adobe.

New Players:
If you're new to Vegas Slots, you'll first have to register before you can play. This is a quick process; simply fill your account details into the form that comes up, agree to the the terms and conditions, then click on the 'Register For Vegas Slots' button. Your account will be created right away and you will be redirected to the game lobby - you're ready to play!

Be sure to use a valid e-mail address and make note of your password - your email and password combination are used to log in on future visits. Prize winners will be contact via e-mail. If we can't reach you, you can't win!

Returning Players:
Once you've ended your browser session, you will automatically be logged out of Vegas Slots. The next time you visit, you will be required to log in again before you can play. To log in, simply enter the e-mail address and password you registered with at the top of the page, then click 'Login'. You can then visit the game lobby and play once again.

Choosing a Game/The Lobby:

The casino lobby is where you'll choose the games you'd like to play. Each game has a corresponding icon. Simply click on the icon of the game you wish to play, and it will load 'overtop' the lobby.

To return to the lobby and close the game, click on the 'GAME LOBBY' button from within the game itself (on the bottom left.) This will end the current game session and make the lobby page accessible again.

Please note: Closing slot games during bonus rounds may result in that bonus being forfeited, so be sure to wrap up any bonuses or free spin rounds before closing the game and returning to the lobby.

Playing Slot Games:

If you've played online video slots at a casino before, you should already be relatively familiar with the layout of each slot game.

  • Each slot game can be played with a coin size between $0.01 and $5.00. The default coin size is $0.05, but you can adjust that amount using the +/- buttons underneath the COIN SIZE display.
  • Each slot game can be played with 1 to 5 coins per line. By default the maximum of 5 coins per line is selected, but you can adjust that amount using the +/- buttons underneath the COINS PER LINE display.
  • Each slot game has 20 pay lines. By default, all lines are played - but you can adjust the number played using the +/- buttons underneath the LINES display on the bottom of the game. When adjusting the number of lines played, you will see the actual lines on screen over the reels.
  • Using the BET MAX button will set the number of lines played and coins per line to their maximum amount, then initiate a spin. (It will not change the selected coin size.)

Each slots pay table can be viewed by clicking on the PAYTABLE button on the bottom left of the game. Sound options can be controlled using the OPTIONS button beside it.

Once you've set the game options to your preferences, simply click on the SPIN or the BET MAX button to play. Free spins and bonus games are available depending on the slot you choose, and will launch as specified in the pay table when the right symbol combinations appear.

Please note: Vegas Slots will not remember your game preferences between sessions, they will need to be changed every time a new slot game is loaded. For example, if you change the coin amount to $5, return to the lobby then re-launch the game, it will revert back to the default $0.05 amount.

Playing Baccarat:

Technically 'mini' baccarat, there's really not much to it!

Start by choosing the amount you'd like to wager. The bet amount is $5 per hand by default, but can be changed between $5 and $250 using the +/- buttons underneath the BET AMOUNT display.

Choose whether to wager on a TIE, the PLAYER or the BANKER by clicking on the corresponding button on the bottom of the game. The hand will automatically be dealt out, and winning bets paid. You can only bet on one of the three options each hand.

Sound options can be changed by clicking on the OPTIONS button and setting your preferences.
Click on the GAME LOBBY button at any time to return to the main menu.

Playing Blackjack:

A classic version of single hand Blackjack in which:

  • Insurance pays 3 to 2.
  • The player can split a maximum of 2 times (for a total of 3 hands on the table.)
  • Player can double on initial hand values of 9, 10 or 11.
  • Dealer stands on all 17's and hits with 16 or less.
  • Player will receive only one additional card on each hand when splitting aces.

To play, first set your desired bet amount. The bet amount is $5 per hand by default, but can be changed between $5 and $25 using the +/- buttons underneath the BET AMOUNT display.

  • Click on the DEAL button to start a new hand at the specified bet amount. The player and dealers initial hands will be dealt out.
  • The buttons at the bottom of the page will change after the initial deal. Buttons that are red are available options for the player. Buttons that are gray are options that are not currently available.
  • Click on the HIT, STAND, DOUBLE, SPLIT or INSURANCE button depending on what you'd like to do. (Again, the starting hands will determine the available options.)
  • After splitting hands, the currently active hand will be shown as normal, while the additional hands will darken slightly. Once the active hand is completed (if you stand, bust or get 21) the game will cycle to the next available hand awaiting your options.
  • After a hand is completed, you will be prompted to 'click anywhere to continue.' Doing so will clear the table, after which a new deal can be started.

As with any Blackjack game, choosing options such as DOUBLE or SPLIT will require an additional bet be placed equal to the original bet amount.

Sound options can be changed by clicking on the OPTIONS button and setting your preferences.
Click on the GAME LOBBY button at any time to return to the main menu.

Playing Craps:

If you're not familiar with the various betting options, craps can be a somewhat difficult game to play. Which spots you're allowed to bet on depends on certain conditions; some bets will be shifted to other spots after certain rolls, and some bets are per-roll while others remain on the table. For in-depth information and general craps instructions please visit http://www.online-casinos.com/craps.

While you might want to read up on the general rules if you've never played, you can get some help in-game. Hold the space bar on your keyboard then click on a spot for more information on that betting option and its payouts. When trying to make a bet that's not permitted, the game will also tell you why it's not allowed.

  • To start playing, first select the chip value you'd like to place. The default chip value is $1, but you can adjust that amount using the +/- buttons underneath the CHIP VALUE display.
  • Click on the betting spot(s) you would like to wager on. Each time you click, one chip of your selected denomination will be placed. Click more than once to place more than one chip, or hold the shift button on your keyboard and click to remove one chip. (For example, you could select the $10 chip value and click twice to bet $20 on a spot, or click on a spot 20 times with the $1 chip value selected.)
  • You can bet between $1 and $250 per spot.
  • Click on 'ROLL DICE' after bets are placed on the table to put those bets into play. Some bets can be removed after being put in play, some cant. (Craps is tricky that way.) Clicking on the CLEAR BETS button will remove all bets that are permitted.
  • You can roll the dice at any time, regardless of whether you have any bets out on the table or not. Your rolls will affect the table either way (such as whether a point is set or cleared.)

Please note: Bets in play will NOT be remembered if you return to the lobby or close the casino. Please make sure all bets are finished and/or cleared beforehand to avoid forfeiting existing bets if leaving.

Sound options can be changed by clicking on the OPTIONS button and setting your preferences.
Click on the GAME LOBBY button at any time to return to the main menu.

Playing Roulette:

A European style (single zero) roulette table.

Please note: While the cost of all bets out on the table are deducted from your balance after every spin and any wins resulting from those bets are credited after each spin is complete, bets are not automatically removed from the table between spins.

Once a spin is completed, individual bets can be added, adjusted or removed, or all bets can be cleared by clicking on the CLEAR BETS button on the bottom of the game. Any bets showing on the table will be deducted from your balance each time you spin.

  • To start playing, first select the chip value you'd like to place. The default chip value is $1, but you can adjust that amount using the +/- buttons underneath the CHIP VALUE display.
  • Click on the betting spot(s) you would like to wager on. Each time you click, one chip of your selected denomination will be placed. Click more than once to place more than one chip, or hold the shift button on your keyboard and click to remove one chip. (For example, you could select the $10 chip value and click twice to bet $20 on a spot, or click on a spot 20 times with the $1 chip value selected.)
  • You can bet between $1 and $250 on each outside spot (Black/Red, Even/Odd, 2nd 12, etc.) You can bet up to $100 on individual numbers, $200 or split numbers and $250 on corners.
  • Click on the SPIN THE WHEEL button after bets are placed on the table to put those bets into play.
  • Again, you will need to remove any (or all) bets you do not want remaining before initiating a new spin, or they will be played again.

Bets out are only deducted from your balance after a new spin is started, so closing the the game while chips are on the table will not 'forfeit' any wagers provided the wheel isn't already spinning.

Sound options can be changed by clicking on the OPTIONS button and setting your preferences.
Click on the GAME LOBBY button at any time to return to the main menu.

Free ho scale slot car track layout software. One closet door will never have a long straight away so I prefer to sacrifice the straights for more turns. I figure when in a nursing home I will put this on the closet door. This track has an example of each radius of turn.

Playing Video Poker:

Home depot 4-40 flat slot machines. A classic, single hand 'machine' - our Jacks or Better game plays just like any online version you're accustomed to, or a classic VPT.

  • To get started, first choose the coin value and number of coins to bet. By default, the coin value will be set to $1.00, and only one coin is bet.
  • You can change the coin value between $0.25, $1 and $5 using the +/- buttons underneath the COIN VALUE display.
  • You can adjust the number of coins bet by clicking on the BET ONE button until the desired number (between 1 and 5) is reached. The pay table will highlight the corresponding payouts, and a hand will not be dealt until you click on the DEAL button.
  • Once you've decided on your betting options, click on DEAL to start the game.
    (Alternatively, clicking on BET MAX will set the coins bet to 5 and initiate a new deal automatically.)
  • Your initial 5 card hand will be dealt out. Click on any cards you want to keep (HOLD), then click on the DRAW button (where the deal button previously was) to replace any cards that were not held.

After the draw, the hand is over and your win (if applicable) will be displayed under LAST WIN at the bottom of the game. However, it is not immediately credited to your balance, as you have the option to try and double it if desired. If you don't wish to double after a win, clicking on the COLLECT button or simply starting a new hand will collect the win. If you do wish to double, click on the DOUBLE button instead.

Doubling:
After any winning hand, a player may choose to try and double their win. To do so, start by clicking on the DOUBLE button. The screen will change to the double or nothing option, at which point one card on the left is flipped, with 4 more cards (backs showing) to the right.

To play the double, simply choose one of the 4 cards to the right to flip it. If it's higher than the card shown to the left, you win and double your previous win. If it's lower, the round is over and you win nothing.

After a successful double you can either collect the win by clicking on the COLLECT button, or try to double it again by clicking on the DOUBLE button again, at which point 5 new cards will be dealt out. You can continue this process as many times as you'd like, until you either lose or collect.

Sound options can be changed by clicking on the OPTIONS button and setting your preferences.

When we play online slots all we do is imagining how the reels stop and the symbols align to trigger a big payout. Although enjoying and having fun is important when playing slots, there is more to it than just brainlessly gazing at the colorful symbols.

Slots were created at the end of the 19th century when they were introduced to local bars and pubs. Later they went on entertaining female guests at hotels or casinos. Actually, slots were used by clever casino operators to distract the wives of big mafia bosses and officials so they won’t take them away from their card games.

Slots are one of the players’ most favorite casino games, which do not require any skill at all, only tempered behavior. If you are new to playing online slots, we advise you to read carefully below how to become more efficient slots player, not just a “gung-ho” headless gambler. Slots can be very rewarding on the long run, and finding the slot game with the lowest house edge is a real treasure.

Slots Rules

At the basic level, slots are the easiest and simplest games out there, and nevertheless, they keep being abundantly offered at online and land-based casinos. However, there are several rules that you need to follow in order to be able to play slots, and afterwards we will give you a simple strategy. You will need to know that:

  • A payout is triggered when the necessary symbols align into a payline. In order to see what are the various paylines you can check the paytable that every slot game has displayed.
  • Slots have different number of paylines, they can range from 1 payline with the most basic slots, up to 50 paylines. Paylines don’t run in just horizontal lines.
  • A payline will not form if the necessary symbol doesn’t appear in the first reels, but has appeared in the other reels. To trigger the payout and to form the complete payline, the symbol must be aligned in the first reel too.
  • You can spin the reels by pressing the ‘Spin’ button.
  • You can always choose the number of paylines to play with. More paylines means more chances for a win.
  • Before spinning the reels, you must first select the number of coins per payline and the size of the coins. The coin size is multiplied with the number of coins.
  • To play for a progressive jackpot you need to play with the maximum number of coins. Just use the ‘Bet Max’ button.
  • Slots can have a minimum of 3 reels, and range up to 9.

The Basics of Slots

Objective of the Game

As in any casino game, the objective of the slots is to get the highest possible payout by combining the appropriate symbols. But, you will need to know that the higher the wager that you make at each spin, the higher the payout will be. Wagering $1 per spin and wagering $10 is not the same. If you hit a 4,000 coins payout with a $1 bet, you will be paid $4,000, which is still great, but if you hit the same payout with $10 bet, you will receive $40,000, which is no doubt a more desired sum.

Paylines and Reels

The word “reel” can be best understood when you put it on the context of the original mechanical slot machines. It is simply a wheel with symbols on it that you can spin by pulling the lever or pressing the ‘spin’ button, and when the reels stop the symbols align to form a payline. Naturally, the same concept is used for online slots.

Payline is the line that runs across the reels and connects the symbols together. If the right combination of symbols appears on the reels when they stop spinning, the payline is triggered and a specific win is paid out. Today’s online slots have zig-zaged paylines that can run in different directions, but always from the left towards the right.

Bonus Features

Almost every slot has different bonus features. These bonus features can be very rewarding, while some may be really stingy. These bonuses can consist of different bonus rounds, second or even third bonus screens where you can score different amounts. In such cases you are usually required to click on few choices that will reveal your bonus winning, or depending on how innovative the game play is you may be even required to use your skills to win the bonus money. Bonus rounds are great because almost always they include multipliers that increase your winning sum by several times.

Gamble Feature

Some slots even have a gamble feature that we’ve seen in video poker games. This is when you have scored a win, and you are offered to double it in a separate screen by guessing what color the card will be, red or black. Or, in order to multiply your potential payout you can guess of which suite the card will be, whether clubs, diamonds, hearts or spades.

Game Features

A standard online slot game has several buttons with which you can play the slot. The most convenient option is probably the ‘auto play’ button. With it you can select how many spins you want to computer to make instead of you, while you do other important things on your computer, and not just hit the spin button the entire time. Also, you can adjust the size of your bet per line and coin size, and select the number of paylines. And the most important is the ‘Info’ or ‘Paytable’ button where you can see how much the slot game pays off for its paylines.

An Easy Slot Machine Strategy to Use

Before you begin playing slots, it would be wise to set up a strategy that will help you play safer and with more thought into it. A slots strategy doesn’t literally mean moves that you need to make just like in card games, it’s just a simple strategic thinking to help you save money.

The first obvious move is to select an online slot game and practice it first in free play. This will help you see if the game is really to your liking and how frequent the payouts are. Don’t worry, casino games in free play mode are just the same as real-money mode, only you play with fun money for the purpose of practicing.

After you’ve decided on the slot that you want to play with real money, you will need to set yourself a bankroll that you will use. You mustn’t exceed it at any moment. If you’ve made more than that bankroll, just walk away with the money. The point is not to lose your winnings and your entire bankroll ultimately just because you were greedy and thought the slot is hot. There is no such thing as a hot slot.

Play the slot in multiple sessions, and make sure to not spend all of your wagering money in one session. Once you notice you are having a losing strike, stop immediately, because losing leads to more losing by trying to make up for the losses.

If there are bonuses or free spins offered for playing that slot, use them without hesitation. Take the maximum advantage by using up such bonuses that essentially cost you nothing, but can extend your playing time greatly.

Summary

There will never be a shortage of slot games. We see them get developed and improved each day as new slots are released by different software providers. Microgaming has over 400 slot games, and most probably Playtech too. Now there are even awesome 3D animated slots by Betsoft that are pretty much of equal quality as a big animated blockbuster, with even more unique technical and game play features than before. Moreover, with the advent of mobile casino gaming, playing slots has become even more convenient than before. Now you can have you favorite slot with you wherever you will go.

Useful Slots Glossary

Free Spins: free spins are exactly what the name says, they are spins given for free. Free spins are triggered with a particular symbol, or are given through promotions.

Multiplier: some symbols in a slot game may be used to trigger a multiplier, and they are mostly triggered while playing bonus rounds or free spins. The multiplier further multiplies the winning amount of the payline that you’ve hit, and the multiplication usually is set from 2x to 5x. In some slots, multipliers increase as the symbols appear again that trigger the multiplier feature.

Scatter: the scatter symbol is another common feature in slots and is used to trigger scatter payouts as defined in the paytable for the game or to activate a bonus round.

Wild: this is probably the most important symbol in slots, because they can replace a missing symbol in a payline to trigger the payout. In video slots if you hit wilds on all reels you can trigger a jackpot or activate a multiplier.
