Main Screen Rules of Slot Machines

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:46:05 +0000

Hundreds of thousands online gamblers enjoy slot machines at various casinos, though only a few make an effort to learn the rules of slot gambling. Of course, playing a particular slot game is pointless unless one knows how to win a specific separate screen bonus game. Bonus games vary immensely, being as simple as giving a random amount of coins several times depending on an almost meaningless choice among several options or as complicated as giving a specific multiplier to a modified bet in case a player complies with all the requirements. The same stands true for the free spins bonus rounds that have recently seen a number of innovations in the games of different developers. That is why all the players usually read the rules of bonus games awards to increase their chances of victory, while totally skipping the rules of regular spins payouts. The gist here is that not all the slots award their winnings in the same way, so some of them can be much more rewarding if one knows the rules and is able to discern a high paying slot from a worse one irrespectively of all the bonuses.
The most common slot machines feature 5 reels and a number of paylines that can be as high as several hundred in the more advanced creations, though the majority of slots have from 15 to 25 of them. In almost any slot game a player gets to choose, how many paylines he or she wants to activate. The more active paylines are chosen, the more coins every spin will take, so the choice is rather important, because one never knows which payline will grant a winning during the next spin. That is why it is usually a good idea to activate all of them and if the amount to be wagered seems too high, one may always choose to lower the denomination value of coins. Regular payouts are usually granted when at least 3 symbols of the same kind appear consecutively at an active payline. The word itself makes some inexperienced players think that winnings are only generated if the symbols are on a horizontal line, while in most of the slots some paylines bend diagonally. Besides that, the rules of winning are usually specified for a particular slot machine, while different software developers tend to stick to the same basic technologies so that their loyal players don’t get frustrated. As an example, all the slots of Vegas Technology grant their regular symbol payouts from left to right. It means that a basic 3-symbol payout is granted only if three symbols of the same kind are aligned on an active payline from reels 1 to 3. Other game developers can apply right to left rule or grant a payout irrespectively of the position of a winning combination on a specific payline, which means more opportunities of winning.
The other important thing to remember while playing slots is that only the highest combination of symbols is paid for from each payline, so if you get 5 symbols in a row, you will not be additionally paid for the combinations of 3 and 4 symbols that are included in this row. At the same time, if a symbol is used for several combinations on different paylines, all of them are good for winning. You should also know that if a rules screen specifies an amount granted for a certain combination, this amount represents the number of credits, which is later multiplied by the value of a player’s bet on the payline where this combination appears. Say, 3 symbols of a kind grant 100 credits. If you wager 10 coins on every payline with coin denomination of $0.5, you will get 100 * $5 = $50 for that specific payline. If the slot you are playing has 20 paylines and you choose to activate all of them with the same 10 coins per line and denomination of $0.5, every spin would cost you 20 * 10 * $0.5 = $100, so the above mentioned winning is twice less than what you have wagered for the spin. If it looks too difficult, you have to understand that the more complicated are the rules, the more money an online casino can make.

As the industry of online gambling keeps on developing, the new games appear more and more often. It comes to the point when one or another important event makes game developers create a new game just for the sake of the moment and sometimes such games become so popular that people keep playing them long after the specific event is over. This is exactly what has happened to the World Cup Mania slot machine that was first released in 2006 for the previous FIFA World Cup Championship. This summer its popularity is going to increase even more as the 2010 championship has already started.

Playtech Claims the Finnish Gambling Market

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:45:39 +0000

As internet gambling becomes more and more popular, an increased number of countries choose to offer its citizens safe and secure opportunities to wager online. Following the recent decision of French government to control, regulate and tax online casinos, another member of the European Union decided to grant its only casino operator the right to provide internet gambling services. There is only one land casino in Finland and less than 20,000 slot machines total, so one company is enough to control and operate all gambling activities in the country. This company is called Rahaautomaattiyhdistys in Finnish, RAY for short. This stands for Finland’s Slot Machine Association, which earned more than €651 million in 2009.
Its Executive Director, Janne Perakyla had to choose a suitable platform that would allow RAY provide online gambling services to the whole country. An international tender has been announced, specifying that the company to be chosen should focus not only on the diversity of services, but primarily on the safety of wagering and prevention of illegal underage gambling. As RAY is going to be the only domestic internet betting provider of Finland, it was primarily concerned with staying within the limits set by the nation’s regulating authority. The tender was won by Playtech with its one of the best in the market customer support, reliable service and of course a constantly growing number of games. Playtech casinos has a lot of experience in helping land gambling operators go online, which was one of the reasons why it was granted an exclusive contract that would last for four years. The contract specifies that Playtech should provide a software platform for an online casino and a poker room that will be run by Finland’s Slot Machine Association. The unique developments of Playtech in the sphere of mobile gambling will also be implemented by RAY.
Playtech CEO Mor Weizer was looking forward to cooperation with such an experienced casino operator as Finland’s Slot Machine Association, mentioning that the success of Playtech in developing online platforms for land-based companies in the countries which has only recently decided to provide its citizens with safe and secure online gambling will help develop the evolving and challenging gaming market of Finland.

Canadian Government and Online Gambling Legalization

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 12:02:00 +0000

More and more governments of different countries seem to realize the benefits of legalizing online gambling instead of simply prohibiting it. While the US legislators are still struggling over the problem, the recent news from Canada says that their officials may take the decision to tax and control online gambling operators, offering the citizens increased security and safety of their internet gambling.
Having weighted all the pros and cons of the decision to legalize web-based casinos, the Canadian officials are likely to take the needed steps for the positive solution of the problem. During the Canadian Gaming Summit and Exhibition, which took place in Calgary from the 26th to the 28th of April all the most burning issues were discussed. The summit is held annually to allow all the land casino operators of Canada discuss their plans and meet the officials in charge of regulating the business. A lot of new games and innovative offers were demonstrated during this year’s summit, which was the 14th event of this kind in the country. The propositions to open Canadian online casinos were among the most current issues of the meeting.
A number of provinces in Canada aim at controlling internet gambling. The governments of Quebec, British Columbia, Ontario and other highly developed segments of the country understand all the benefits of legal online casinos paying local taxes. A good example is the province of Manitoba, the Lotteries Minister of which admitted a plan of opening a gambling website run by the government. One of the more experienced gambling operators may be a partner in this enterprise.
At the same time, a number of social institutions will likely oppose the legalization as some people are afraid that internet gambling, which is more easily accessed than land casinos, will generate a higher number of persons addicted to it. Problem gambling has always attracted a lot of mass media attention, but it should be kept in mind that the state-controlled casinos are much less likely to admit underage players, while giving more secure options for the benefit of responsible wagerers. That includes special laws against money laundering, set limits of money transfers to gambling websites and independent licensing companies aimed at providing secure bets and safe withdrawals.
The residents of Canada are highly interested in local online casinos, as the money they currently bet on the internet, which is more than a billion Canadian dollars a year, do not generate tax income for their homeland, going instead to various offshore companies. The problem with teenagers, who are much more frequent customers of foreign web casinos than adults, may be countered with better techniques of age verification and such gambling tools as SafetyCheck from Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation, which are sure to be implemented in the casinos controlled by the government.

7 Sultans casino, a member of the Fortune Lounge group is happy to celebrate its anniversary this month. Having operated for 10 consistent years to the benefit of its loyal customers and occasional gamblers, the online casino is offering all the players an incredible tournament with unique prizes.

The huge Ocean 15 promotion will last for several more months offering 15 dream vacation packages consisting of VIP tickets to a Mediterranean cruise liner. The lucky winners will fly to the magnificent Italian capital of Rome for free and spend the tour of their lives in an amazing sea voyage, visiting picturesque cities and sites as they go. Having spent several days in Rome they will embark a comfortable ship on the 20^th of August, this summer of 2010 and will have 8 days of unbelievable fun. Every prize package contains 2 tickets, one for the winner and the other – for a person of his or her choice.

The tickets-granting promotion has already been lasting for two weeks, giving out two pairs of tickets. The third vacationer will be determined on the 19^th of April by the results of the third week of the Ocean 15 tourney. The next day, on the 20^th of April, the fourth week will start, granting somebody another pair of tickets by the 25^th of April. Two different tournaments last as a part of the vacation-giving promo. While the first one is open to all the players, a gambler has to be personally invited to participate in the second. The two lucky winners of the first two weeks were chosen from the privileged contestants, while the winners of the open tourney were allowed a choice of their prize. They could either be granted the Fortune Lounge group Diamond status, offering incredible benefits to loyal customers for life or take home a prize pool of 500,000 loyalty points.

During the whole Ocean 15 promotion 11 of the VIP packages will be distributed among the invited players, while the remaining 4 tickets will go to the winners of open for all events, such as the Reward Me Slots Tournament, which is an essential part of the major competition. The fourth week will also include a tourney for invited players, but the rules for them are absolutely different. While the Reward Me Slots Tournament will be held on the pre-selected Tomb Rider video slot, the invited players may choose a casino game for their competition, and the other major difference is that while in the open-for-all tourney the person who wins the most money will be the ultimate winner, in the VIP contest the winner is the one who gets the lowest payout compared to his or her bet.
