All right, all right. You probably know how a slot machine works. It doesn’t take a genius to put money in and pull the handle to make the reels spin. You don’t have to be a gambling expert to understand that a winning combination is when the reel symbols land on an active payline for a payout.
Understandably, slots are the most popular game at online casinos because of their simplicity and big payouts. People think of it as a way to easy money. And, slots are a well known commodity in the casino industry with their flashing lights and sounds.
As gaming technology advanced, slots became available at online casinos. You will find a lot more variety in slots online than at a land-based casino. Slots at online casinos are known as video slots, because they are basically video games. The reels and buttons are part of the software. They are more for visual appeal since they are the most recognizable parts of slot machines.
In the good ol’ days, reels spun until they ran out of momentum or were stopped by a timer. For online slots, a random number generator (RNG) determines the outcome of the spin. RNG’s are used for every casino game online. When a new slot is being designed, all the possible outcomes of the reels are inputted into the RNG. It protects the player from a rigged game. Once you press the Spin button for an online slot, the RNG randomly selects one of the outcomes to be that result. Even though the reels are spinning for a few seconds, the outcome has already been determined.
Many players think that if they press the Stop Spin button before the reels stop spinning, they can affect the outcome of the spin. This is not true because of the RNG. Once you click Spin, the random outcome has already been selected. A “random selection” may sound like an oxymoron, but the RNG truly does randomize the results.
The Stop Spin button actually hurts your odds. Since the spin ends sooner, the next spin will begin sooner. The more spins per hour, the more opportunities for you to lose money. The less time and money you put into a progressive slot, the less likely you are to win the big jackpot. Give yourself a chance and be patient when you play online slots.
