At Heart Bingo, we have so many Online Slot Games you can get involved with. From fishing-themed Slots and Megaways Slots to Slingo, a wonderful mix of Slots and Bingo, there are loads of sensational titles to choose from.
But how do Online Slots work? Check out our in-depth guide for everything you need to know.
Slot Machine Basics
Are you an Online Slot beginner and need a complete overview of the basics? Or maybe you’ve dipped your toe in the water and just need a little refresher. Either way, we’re here for you.
With all Online Slot machines, you spin your reels to land lines of matching symbols across them. In most cases, you’ll win with 3 or more matching symbols. And the higher the value of the symbols you land in a line, the more you win.
Those are the basics, but if you want to become a slot aficionado, you’ll need to get to grips with a few more things.
What is RNG?
Online Slot Games use a random number generator or RNG to make sure every spin is random. Ready for the science bit? The RNG generates thousands of numbers every second – between 0 and 4 billion. Each of those numbers is connected to a different outcome on the reels for each spin. The number generated at the exact moment you press spin will be the outcome you get.
So, every spin is random, and it doesn’t take into account your previous spins, however successful or unsuccessful.
Volatility / Variance
When you Play Slot Games Online, you’ll read about volatility. This refers to the amount of risk involved with a specific game. You can break it down as follows:
- High Volatility: Fewer but bigger wins
- Medium Volatility: Average wins, medium value
- Low Volatility: More frequent wins but at a lower level
It’s up to you which one you choose, Hearties. It all depends on your budget and what kind of Slot Game you want to play.
And what about variance? Don’t worry. You don’t need to worry about learning even more Slot machine games lingo. Variance just a different way of saying volatility.
Types of Slots
There are loads of different Slot Games to suit how you want to play. You’ve got your classic 3- and 5-reel Slots with bonus features like Wilds and Scatter symbols – these are a great place to start when you’re easing your way into the world of Online Slot Games.
Many of these Slot Games also have plenty of bonus features that tie in with the theme of the game. For example, Mustang Gold has a Free Spins feature with the chance to keep re-triggering unlimited Free Spins.
As you get more adept at playing Slot machines online, you might want to try your hand at Jackpot King Slots or Megaways Slots. Slots with the Jackpot King treatment feature a bonus game where you climb a multiplier ladder to win multipliers (that multiply your winnings) and Progressive Jackpots. While Megaways slots give you a random number of rows for each spin (from two up to seven or eight) and a whopping 117,649 ways to win.
So, what is a Progressive Jackpot? It means that every player playing the Slot Game online – wherever they are in the world – is playing for a Jackpot that progressively increases. Every time someone plays, it grows, and the more players that play, the bigger the Jackpot gets.
And then there’s Slingo – a delightful mashup of Slots and Bingo. We love Slingo, and we know you will too. Want to find out more about Slingo? Check out our article here.
