Slots FAQ (Fact and Question)

When playing slots online, what are the odds compared to playing in a land-based casino?

Online casinos actually offer the player higher odds at winning than those of a land based casino. The odds are not much higher, but due to lower overhead costs for the online casino operator they will often offer better odds to entice players to sign up and play with them.

Will I be paid in installments if I win big at an online casino?

Although most land based casinos do pay big winners in installments, this not typically the case when you win online. If you win a progressive jackpot of 1 million dollars, the online casino will pay you $1 million in one lump some.

Do you prefer Download or No Download type online casinos?

There are pros and cons to both types. No Download casinos are much more convenient, as you can play from any computer immediately, no matter where you are. Although Download versions have the disadvantage of having to wait until the software is downloaded before you can begin play, once the software is downloaded you do not have to do it again (on that particular computer). The major advantage of this type of play is that you will now have a larger selection of games to choose from and typically the graphics and features exceed those on No Download versions.

What if I have trouble using the software once it is installed?

All online casinos have a customer assistance department. Look for the button or link that says ‘contact us’ or ‘help’ (or something similar). The online casino operator will be happy to answer any questions you may have or guide you through the site. Many casinos also have chat rooms where you can ask other players for advice or help.

What are progressive slots?

Regular slot machines have a set payout schedule and jackpot no mater who is playing and when. A progressive slot machine is linked to a number of other machines and the jackpot builds as people continue to put money into them. The jackpot will continue to rise until someone hits it. Then it will reset itself at a smaller amount and the cyle repeats itself. For more information on progressive slots and other types of slots check out Slots games section of this website.
