After the player selects an online slot game to wager at he has to make up to three important decisions before he can start spinning the reels. This set of decisions is known as betting options. It includes selecting the number of paylines, the number of coins wagered per payline and the coin size. Most slot games allow players to choose all three betting options. Some slot games fix the number of coins wagered per payline, usually at one, and this choice is removed from the betting options. There are very few slots that fix both the coin size and the number of coins thus effectively freezing the line bet.

Before the betting options are discussed two terms need to be clearly defined. The line bet is the amount wagered per payline and is the product of the coin size and the number of coins per payline. The total bet is the total amount wagered per spin and is the product of the line bet and the number of paylines selected.

Most online slot games allow players to choose the number of paylines. However this is only a nominal choice because it makes little sense to play the online slot game without enabling all the paylines. Winning combinations, except for the scatter wins, result in payouts only if they occur in an enabled payline. The worst nightmare for a slots player can be to see five of like symbols in a payline that is not enabled. Progressive jackpot online slots emphasize the need for selecting all paylines even more pointedly. The progressive jackpot usually pays out only when the stated combination occurs in the highest payline. By selecting all paylines the total bet per spin can increase drastically, especially if the player has chosen a slot game that has 50 or 100 paylines. In such cases the player should enable all paylines and reduce his line bet so as to remain within budget.

The coin size and the number of coins per payline together contribute to the line bet. Some slot games allow only one coin to be wagered per payline, but they have a larger coin size range with a fair degree of choice within that range. The slot games that allow players choose the number of coins usually have a smaller coin size range with fewer stops in that range. Either way it usually works out to the same thing.

Consider the slot game Mayan Queen that offers one coin per payline with the following coin size range: 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5 and 5.00. This gives a line bet range from 0.01 to 5.00 with 15 stops. There is another recently released slot game Moonlight Mystery that offers up to 5 coins per payline and coin sizes of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5. This gives a line bet range from 0.01 to 2.50 with 18 stops.

Hence the coin size and number of coins per payline have to be chosen in conjunction with each other so that the player gets the desired line bet. The line bet must be decided based on the players bankroll for the session and the number of spins that he expects to play. Suppose that the player has a bankroll of 100 credits and wants to play 100 spins. Then he should go for a line bet of 1.00. In games like Mayan Queen he simply chooses the coin size of 1.00. In games like Moonlight Mystery he can choose 2 coins of size 0.50 or 4 coins of size 0.25. Both options are essentially the same. Whatever the player wins can be kept aside for another day.

Pachinko is a popular Japanese game that is very similar to a pinball machine. It is also known as Pachislo. In order to play this game the player has to buy a number of small balls that are fed into the machine one at a time. The player can control the initial speed of the ball using a knob. The ball falls through the Pachinko machine and one of two outcomes result. Either the ball falls to the bottom of the machine and is lost to the player. Or the ball falls into one of the pockets inside the machine and yields a jackpot.

Pachinko was first introduced early in the 20th century as a children’s game. Around 1930 Pachinko became popular as an adult pastime. However during World War II the game was banned. After the war Pachinko was resumed and its popularity has kept on soaring since then. Till 1980 the Pachinko machines were mechanical devices with electricity being used only to flash lights when the player hit a jackpot. After that electronic features were incorporated into the game, much in the same way that video slots have revolutionized the slot machine. Today in Japan Pachinko parlors are found in every nook and cranny. They are much like arcade dens in other parts of the world – overcrowded, noisy and garishly lit.

One of the problems that arise with land-based Pachinko machines is that gambling for cash is illegal in Japan. Therefore, usually players win additional balls when they hit a jackpot. In some Pachinko parlors players are given tokens which they are able to secretively cash at some other location. This problem is overcome in online casinos that offer Pachinko style online slot games. Some software providers that focus on the Asian online gambling market provide such games in their portfolio. Playtech is one such online gaming software provider.

The Pachinko slot game that Playtech offers is called Dolphin Paradise Pachinko. It is found in the Asian Games section. The screen shows two dolphins leaping out of the waves at the top. Below the dolphins are the reels and on the sides are children, depicted in typical Japanese Animax style, enjoying themselves. Balls are launched from the top and fall through the obstacles. If they fall to the bottom there is no payout. If the ball falls into the launcher then the player wins 4 balls and also activates the slot game. In this game, players can win up to 1500 times their original bet. There are three paylines on the reels. These are the central vertical line and the two diagonal lines. If the numbers in the top and bottom rows match in any of the paylines then the middle number is determined by a Mini Game. These Mini Games feature dolphins in a number of activities like racing with a shark, jumping through hoops and hitting balls. In the racing with the shark game, called Dolphin Race, the middle number is determined by the number of the winning dolphin. If after the Mini Game all three numbers match then the channel at the bottom of the machine opens up and catches each of the next 15 balls. Each ball offers a payout of 100 balls and therefore the total payout is 1500 balls. The game parameters are displayed on the right of the screen.

WagerWorks is one of the leading online gaming software developers. It has a fantastic range of branded online slot games. These slot games have exciting bonus rounds and unique features that make them among the most wanted slot games in the industry.

One of the unique features is the jackpot accumulator that is present in a number of WagerWorks slot games. Actually there are three different jackpot accumulators, usually identified by different colors. Each jackpot is set to an initial amount. Three of the symbols on the reels are the jackpot symbols. The symbols look alike but correspond to the colors of the jackpot accumulators. Whenever a jackpot symbol appears on the reels its accumulator amount increases as specified in the game rules. The amount of increase is linked to the amount wagered in the spin. The larger the wager the greater will be the increase in the jackpot amount. In this manner the three jackpot accumulators keep increasing during the normal spins. The amounts can reach dizzying heights.

The opportunity for cashing the jackpots comes in the bonus rounds. The bonus round is triggered as allowed in the game rules. Certain outcomes are specified in the bonus round. If the player manages to achieve the outcome then the amount standing in the jackpot accumulator is won by him. This jackpot accumulator is then reset to its original value, whereas the jackpots in the remaining accumulators are carried forward. It is not essential that the specified condition is met. Players can complete the bonus round without achieving the jackpot condition. Then no jackpot is cashed and all accumulators are carried forward.

Monopoly Here and Now is one of the most popular WagerWorks slot game. It is based on theMonopoly board game. In this game the jackpot accumulators are known as Free Parking Bonus Meters. This has reference to the Free Parking cell on the Monopoly board. The yellow Free Parking accumulator starts at 100 credits and the corresponding symbol appears only on reel 3. The orange Free Parking accumulator starts at 200 credits and the corresponding symbol appears only on reel 4. The red Free Parking accumulator starts at 500 credits and the corresponding symbol appears only on reel 5. When the yellow Free Parking appears on reel 3 its jackpot increases by 1x the total wager. When the orange Free Parking appears on reel 4 its jackpot increases by 2x the total wager. When the red Free Parking appears on reel 5 its jackpot increases by 3x the total wager. In Monopoly Here and Now the bonus game is triggered by three Board Bonus dice symbols. In this bonus round players get a number of rolls of the dice and move along the Monopoly board as in the actual game. If the player lands on the Free Parking cell then he is sure to win one of the three jackpots. Which jackpot he wins is decided by spinning a wheel.

Wheel of Fortune is another WagerWorks online slot with jackpot accumulators. The yellow, orange and red accumulators are initially set at 50, 75 and 100 credits respectively. The corresponding symbols can appear on any of the reels. The yellow and orange accumulators increase by the total bet amount and the red jackpot increases by twice the total bet. In the bonus round players spin the Wheel of Fortune and have an opportunity of winning one of the three jackpots.

Gone are the days when symbols on the reels in online slot games only served the purpose of deciding line payouts. In the feature rich contemporary slot games there are special symbols that serve multiple functions. These symbols are common across the slots launched by the different online gaming software providers and hence it makes sense for new players to acquire an understanding of these symbols. These symbols are wild symbols, scatter symbols and bonus symbols.

The symbol most appropriate to the theme of the slot game is usually designated as the wild symbol. Often it is just the logo bearing the name of the slot game. Wild symbols are those symbols that can be used as any other symbols in order to make up winning combinations. They are very much like the Joker in video poker games. Therefore such symbols are also known as substitute symbols. Usually wild symbols do not substitute for other special symbols, but only for symbols involved in line payouts. Wild symbols increase payout opportunities and are therefore very important. In contemporary slot games while symbols serve other functions as well. Very often they act as multipliers. In such cases when wild symbols assist in making winning combinations they multiply the payouts as specified in the rules. Sometimes, the specified number of wild symbols appearing in a payline acts as a trigger for the bonus feature.

Wild symbols are often made exciting by formulating them in such a manner that they enhance payouts. Stacked wild symbols are wild symbols that occurred in two or even all three rows of the same reel. Expanding the wild symbols when they occur spanned to cover the entire reel so that all positions on the reel act as a wild symbols. There are some slot games in which normal symbols are randomly converted to wild symbols after the reels stop and payouts are recalculated based on the new situation. Such wild symbols are known as exploding wilds. In other slot games players can choose any of the given symbols as a wild symbol.

The second special symbol is the scatter symbol. In line payouts the designated symbols have to appear in an enabled payline. In the case of scatter symbols however the scatter symbols can appear anywhere on the reels. It is for this reason such symbols are called scatter symbols. This gives greater flexibility in receiving payouts. Another advantage of scatter payouts is that the payout designated in the table is multiplied by the total bet. In the case of line payouts the payout is multiplied by the line bet which is considerably lower. The scatter symbols are often used to trigger bonus features in contemporary online slots.

Two types of bonus features are common in contemporary slot games. One is known as the bonus game on the second screen and the other is the free spins bonus round. If both these games are present then usually the wild symbols triggers one of these games and the scatter symbol triggers the other. However, sometimes neither the wild symbol nor the scatter symbol is used to trigger the bonus round. A third symbol is used that serves only this function. This symbol is then designated as the bonus symbol.

Bulls Eye is a three reel, one payline and three coin slot machine.

Bulls Eye has a wild, multiplier symbol and a Bulls Eye bonus game.

The Dart Man symbol multiplies the payout of the combination it completes:
A single Dart Man symbol doubles the payout of any combination it completes.
