Playing Slots Online - yes you can win!

I had never been a big fan of slots until this year. My game had always been Video Poker, Deuces Wild to be exact. I've won quite a bit of money in fact. I've been playing online for about 7 or so years and have played at literally all of the Microgaming, Playtech and most of the RTG Casinos out there and of course I have my favorites. Microgaming has some awesome slot games and I've won as much as $25,000.00 playing them. Playtech has quite a few very good ones but I don't have much luck on many of those except for Chinese Kitchen. At Playtech Casinos I'd rather play Video Poker. My very first win of any size though was at an RTG Casino, Windows Casino playing Deuces Wild. My first Microgaming win was at Golden Riviera, hitting a Royal Flush at Deuces Wild.

On to slots. There is a slot game out there with your name on it, and you can win. You first need to decide what type is right for you. I'll discuss each type as listed below.

• Single Line or Standard Slots
• Multi Line Slots
• Bonus Slots
• Progressive Slots

Standard or Single Line Slots are the traditional slots that have one payline, the center line, and three reels. You line up certain combinations of symbols for a win. The winning combinations are usually listed at the top of the game screen, with the lowest win at the bottom and the highest win at the top. The coin denomination is going to vary depending on the game and the casino, but you can find games for as little as $0.05 upwards to $5.00 and higher per spin. The jackpot amounts on Single Line Slots also vary and in general will be the lowest paying for jackpots compared to Multi Line, Bonus, and of course Progressive Jackpot Slots.

As with any casino game, please keep a few things in mind when playing. First and most important, play at a casino you know is honest and will pay you when you win. Second, only gamble what you can afford to lose. You will lose, maybe not today or tomorrow, but you will. You're a gambler, you know the risk, be wise with your bankroll and you'll find that gambling is great fun.

There are more tips to being successful playing slots. After I've discussed the other varietites of Slots, I'll go into that more. Look for Multi Line Slots in my next entry. And in the meantime, check out some the links to the right. These are great gambling portals and well worth your time. Thanks!
