Your First Online Slot Game (2 of 2)

Once you have selected an online slot machine, however, the variance pretty much ends. Most slot games on the World Wide Web feature pretty much the same method of play. Regardless of theme or variations, the process of playing your luck with the one-armed bandit is very similar! Follow these simple instructions, and we’ll have you playing the slots like an experienced pro in no time flat!

First of all, you’ll want to “insert money.” The on-screen instructions will pretty much guide you through this process. Next, you will place your bet. Choose how many credits you would like to play. You can hit “max credits” to use the most credits possible. Alternately, you can hit the “bet one” option and play it safe. Don’t worry, you can change your bet amount at any time. Now, here’s the fun part – hit “Spin” to get those reels in action!

If you should happen to win some money, you’ll see your credits/winnings waiting for you on the payout table. If you click the “Winner Paid” option, you can check to see exactly how much you are owed. How exiting!

Keep in mind that you are not married to any particular machine. In fact, many online slot machine “pros” insist that it is inviting of bad mojo to dwell on one particular game for too long – they call this “slotaholic pain!” Look out for a “switch machine” icon to try something new.

A good way to get accustomed to the feeling of playing the online slots is to search for a site that offers several free slot machines for your enjoyment. You won’t win any money at these games, but you’ll gain the invaluable experience of seeing an internet slot live and in action!
