How The Original Slots Worked

Inside each slot machine there were three metal hoops called reels. Each reel had ten symbols painted on. For each time the lever was pulled, the reels spun once. Then, a prize was awarded if three of a one kind of symbol lined up. The payoff in coins was then released from the machine

Video Slots

In European Union, video slot machine is a more recent innovation than the classic slots. It has no moving parts at all, no metal hoops/reels instead a graphical representation of reels, appear on a screen. And since the player is basically playing a computer game, the manufacturers are able to offer more interactive elements, such as advanced bonus games and advanced graphics. In addition, most video slots display five reels rather than three and that's because there are no constrains on the design, unlike slots. This greatly expands the number of possibilities: a machine can have 50 or more symbols on a reel, giving odds as high as 300 million to 1 against – enough for even the largest jackpot. Video slots frequently encourage the player to play multiple lines, so rather than simply taking the middle of the three symbols displayed on each reel, a line could go from top left to bottom middle to top right. The pattern of the lines is defined by the manufacturer, and differs from each video slot. All modern machines are designed using pseudo-random number generators ("PRNGs"), which are constantly generating random numbers, at a rate of thousands or more per second. As soon as the "Play" or "Spin" button is pressed, the result is decided by the latest random number. This means that the result varies depending on exactly when the game is played. If the Play/Spin button were pressed by a fraction of a second earlier or later; the result would be different.

Payout Percentage

Bonus is a special feature, unique on each game, which is activated in a certain combination, assigned by the manufacturer. Bonuses differ depending on the game. Usually bonuses give out free spins and often winnings in bonus round are increased by a specific multiplier. Some other bonus rounds, player is given several items on a screen from which to choose. Number of credits is revealed as the player clicks and chooses items. And then, some other bonuses use a mechanical device, such as a spinning wheel, that works in combination with the bonus to display the amount won.

Reels: All slot machines used revolving mechanical reels to display and determine results. Three reels is the standard, when 5 reels are most commonly.
