Online Slot Games
The first online slots appeared in 1996 at The Gaming Club and
Intercasino.
Initially these were 3-reel slots, similar to slot machines but
with the advent of video slots.
There are now hundreds of slots available. While not all of the
online casino software providers publish the expected returns of
these games, those that do generally implement returns in the
94%-96% range.
Slots can be divided into the following categories: 3 Reel
Slots, 5 Reel Bonus Slots, Progressive Jackpot Slots, Fruit
Machines, Non-standard Slots. |
The "Mega Moolah" slot from Microgaming combines a progressive
jackpot with a "free spins" bonus round. This is also a very
common combination in RTG Real Series slots where every slot
game has a "Random Jackpot".
These start at 1000 credits (dollars, pounds or euros) and rise
gradually and can be won by any player at any time on any bet
size, although the higher the bet the more chance there is of
winning the jackpot. |
Keno
Keno is a lottery game played at most modern casinos and bingo
halls. In Keno a player choose 1 to 20 numbers. 20 numbers are
then drawn at random and the player is paid proportional to his
original wager and based on how many numbers drawn match the
ones on the ticket.
Scratch card
A scratchcard, scratch off, scratch ticket, scratcher, scratchie,
scratch-it, scratch game, is a small slip usually made of
cardboard where one or more areas contain concealed information
that can be scratched off.
Scratchcards are a very popular form of gambling. There are also
online versions of scratch card which utilize Flash or Java to
simulate the experience on a computer. |
