Online slots come in many variations and in fact you have more variety available to you if you play slots online then if you were to play at land based casinos. Slots online are safe and secure to play and in fact they offer better payout percentages then their land based counter parts. Online casinos can offer to payback up to 99% where as land based casinos you`ll find in Vegas offer payouts that only go as high as 95% at most casinos. So playing online you`ll win more money more often.

There are several different variations types of slot machines you can play online, These have been outlined below:

  • Free Slots - These are more or less available at all online casinos as a means of showing you how the slots work and allow you to play in fun mode without the need for depositing any money. At the same time if you hit a winning combination or jackpot while playing Free slots you`ll get nothing in return as you were just playing for fun.

  • 3 Reel and 5 Reel Single and Multiple Payline Slots - The most common type of slot machines available at online casinos consist of 3 reel slots which are similar to the conventional 3 reel mechanical slots you`d find in Vegas or Atlantic City. These are fun to play and are available to play in either single or multiple paylines depending on the slot machine. 5 reel slots offer as many as 15 paylines in general when you play them at online casinos and have several additional features that you won`t find at land based casinos. The 15 payline video slots at Microgaming powered casinos are my personal favorites as they have high coin limits per line played and the rewards and payout are pretty huge. It`s common to hit 10K - 20K prizes when you play at Microgaming Viper powered casino.

  • Bonus Slots - Bonus slots are slot machines that have a bonus round. These are generally 5 reel video slots that feature these secondary games within the slot machine. It basically gives you the chance of doubling, tripling, or multiplying your wining`s even more. The potential on some of the Microgaming Viper bonus slots games are as much as 112K in prizes.

  • Progressive Slots - Progressive slots are favored online not because the jackpots are larger because they`re not as mentioned above. It`s because the payout percentages on slots online exceeds that of land based casinos. Playing online your chances of winning a million dollar jackpot far exceed that of your chances of winning at a land based casino where the progressive jackpots are not hit nearly as often.
