When you explore the games for slots in an online casino, you will realize that most of them are video slot. The video slots are different from the regular slots. The first difference you will notice is that the video slots have 5 reels meanwhile the regular slots only have 3 reels. There are other differences, but they need to be explained.

The video slots have multiple paylines. The usual for the video slots is to have from 9 to 25 paylines, that number might go up to 100 in some video slots. You can place a bet in any payline. Commonly, the bets are placed on the spot aside the reels, there you can find a number for each payline, to place the bet just click the line you like; the paylines go vertically. When you play in a multi line slot, the paylines go zigzag all over the reels. You can choose the amount of coins you want to bet, the denomination of the coin and the amount of paylines you want to play, the product of these three features is the amount of the bet. The paylines you chose are the only ones that appear on the payout table. The other paylines don’t mind.

In the payout table you can see all the combinations that make you win. You win if the payline selected hit at least one of the combinations listed in the payout table. You can find the amount of the payout next to the winning combination on the payout table. In a standard combination you can win for example 100 coins, this means that you win a 100 coins for each and every coin you betted. So, if your final bet were 3 coins that mean your total prize is 300 coins. Remember you can also choose the coin denomination, in this case, if you, for instance select $2.00 as coin denomination, you will win $600 (2×300). You will get an individual payout for every winning combination you hit.

Hitting a winning combination on the reels is not the only way to win in the video slots. There are special paylines that take you to bonus games. These bonus games, often, are played on a second screen. There are different bonus games, they can be based on the picking a box game, lotto or they can be skill games. Usually, if you win a bonus game you receive a number of credits that are added to your gaming account, and you can bet them. There are also some paylines which lead to free spins. In free spins you don’t have to bet anything, during the free spins the bet amount is equal to the amount you bet when triggered the free spins.
