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" have been divided 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.

It's possible to find both kinds of playing machine in an good online slot gambling 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 within the slots quantity and quality is 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 first 9-line video slots appeared several years ago. The play "Tomb raider" (that is known as a result of the computer game and also the film "Lara Croft, tomb plunder") still holds much favour. Lara's picture of 4 floors height can even be viewed in the company "Microgaming" office. After that 20- and even 30-line video slots appeared. The video slots provide through 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 is usually $40-200 thousand. There are actually of-course "wild" and bonus symbols, animation which is all of the selection of possibilities for precisely what the players love video slots. Besides, the player can set the volume of games and then games start will be conducted automatically.

The next place will 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 example, 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 the opportunity of "pushing" the drum so that you can make it move for a little while giving a player the winning combination. At the moment when I'm writing these lines jackpot on the video slot "Millionaires' Club" exceeds $3,5 ml., which is two times around the previous record for the on-line casino. When you get a current issue of the journal, the jackpot will either reach the sum of $4 ml. or it shall be hit and consequently it shall constitute its original sum of $400 thousand.

Such producers of slots as "RTG" and "Playtech" yield a little as to the diversity of slots (although not as to their functionality). There are actually 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 just a little its competitors as to the quality of slots, but they too possess video slots, at least for nine lines and without a full abundance of possibilities.

While evaluating slots online, it is crucial to think about 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 into the game portion of payment. Alternatively, for various attempt to estimate it. As an example, the casinos with the software from "Microgaming" and "Criptologic" publish monthly common payment percentages, notarized by auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers. So the regular payment portion of all of the slots usually varies within the range of 94-96 %.
