Online Casino Slots Variety

What can casino offer to the fans of online casino Slots? Well, practically everything, that those real halls can, plus something more than that. But before we look into online casino Slots halls, let's give a meaning to several notions. "One-handed gangsters" have been divided into two categories called casino Slots and Video Slots (meaning a slot of a coin-receiver). Classic casino Slots represent three mechanic barrels with a possibility to play on 1-5 lines. Casino Video Slots are a video screen 3x5 with the game on 9-30 lines with rich additional bonus possibilities.

Online casino players find both kinds of playing machine in an online casino. From the point of view of the casino games quantity and their functional possibilities online games do not yield (and to some degree they may exceed) to offline casinos. The doubtless leader in the Slots quantity and quality are the Microgaming casinos online. The software downloaded versions suggest up to 180 kinds of different casino Slot machines, classic ones and Video Slots in about equal parts. The classic Slots suggest a game from 1 to 5 lines. There can be up to 10 plays with progressive casino Jackpots which average sums vary from 5 thousand to more than one million dollars. The first 9-line casino Video Slots appeared several years ago. The play "Tomb Raider" (that is known thanks to the computer game and the film "Lara Croft, tomb plunder") still holds much favour.

Lara's picture of 4 floors height can even be seen in the company Microgaming office. After that 20- and even 30-line Video Slots appeared. The Microgaming casinos Video Slots provide with an opportunity to win free of charge casino bonus rounds including prize multiplication, additional casino bonus games, the possibility to risk and double the win, Jackpots of hundred thousand dollars. The maximum prize of such games is usually $40-200 thousand. There are, of course, "wild" and bonus symbols, animation that is all the variety of possibilities for what the casino players love Video Slots. Besides, the player can set the auto-play function to wager automatically.

The second place would be rather given to the Cryptologic casinos online. Recently they have made a deal with a popular comics publisher - the company "Marvel" and have already created more than ten casino Video Slots with popular comics heroes (we know, for example, such personages as Hulk and Spiderman). All in all, Cryptologic casinos online offer more than 50 classical Video Slots, covering 9-20 lines with the abundance of possibilities. Another unique possibility, provided for casino payers of the British casino "William Hill" is the availability of English "fruity" casino slot machines that function with an opportunity of "pushing" the drum in order to make it move for a little while giving a casino player the winning combination. At the moment, the Jackpot on theVideo Slot "Millionaires' Club" exceeds $3,5 ml., that is twice as much as the previous record for the online casino.

RTG and Playtech powered casinos yield a little as to the diversity of casino Slots (but not as to their functionality). There are classic casino Slots and Video Slots with diverse functions and progressive Jackpots including the ones at one million dollar. Only the BossMedia casinos online out of five leaders yields a little its competitors as to the quality of casino Slots, but they too possess casino Video Slots, at least for nine lines and without a full abundance of possibilities.

While evaluating casino Slots online, it is necessary to consider such a burning question as the percentage of payouts. Unfortunately, in spite of the numerous players' requests the absolute majority of online casinos do not show the laid into the casino game percentage of payment. However, one can try to estimate it. For example, Cryptologic  and Microgaming casinos online from published monthly common payment percentages, notarized by auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers. So the average payouts percentage of all casino Slots usually varies in the range of 94-96 %.

As a conclusion, we want to mention that an online casino represents a very wide choice of different kinds of Slot machines that do not yield with their functional characteristics to those ones you can see in playing rooms. The pluses of the online playing are more comfort conditions, wide range of stakes, the presence of bonuses that can double your means for playing.
