Slot Machine Lingo
The jackpot is the amount of money or credit
that you can win when playing this slot machine. Sometimes in casinos
offline, and online, you can win small money, large money, houses,
cars, jewelry, furs, anything valuable is given away!
 |
 |
 |
| How do you hit the jackpot? |
|
Each slot machine is going to be different
and the payout box will tell you
what you have to have to win the jackpot but often it is three of
a special marking in the screen
on the same row, all nine areas covered
with the same symbol or anything other that the casino marks as
a ‘special’ jackpot
win.
|
|
|
| What should I be aware of? |
|
When a machine says that they pay out up
to 95% - means that it doesn’t pay out 95% all the time,
it can pay out fifty percent, sixty percent, and so on. But if
a machine
says that it pays out 95% then
they do and these are the types of machines or online casinos
that you should look for.
|
|
|
| What else can I do while
playing slots online? |
|
Often you will be able to chat with other
slots players while online playing the slots, simply by typing in
the box and pressing send. This does not interrupt your game at
all and you make great friends at the same time!
|
|
|
| How do I know who is
winning? |
|
Often in online slots, there will be a message
bar, where you will be able to see online who is winning and what
amount the won. Usually you will not see their real name, only their
online name and possibly the state or country that they are from
when playing online.
|
|
|
| What is the message
last round mean? |
|
This just tells you what you won with the
last spin, and how much you won with the last spin. There is always
going to be a total box, what you have left and a box telling you
how much you are spending on this round as well.
This can be a point if you are playing for
fun, or this can represent nickels, dimes, quarter, dollars, five
dollars, and any thing that the casino gives it reference too. Generally,
you will find it written on the top or side of the machine when
playing offline or on the top or side of your screen when you are
playing slots online.
This is how many credit, dollars, nickels
or dimes etc, that you currently have in the slot machine. You should
never walk away or quit a game while you still have a balance, if
you need to quit playing make sure you cash out first.
