Colourful slot machines, blackjack and Roulette hold a special place in your heart? Enjoy an authentic Las Vegas feeling directly on your mobile device! The Swiss online casino StarVegas offers a broad choice of slot machines including Lucky Lady’s Charm and the Swiss classic Super Cherry. But before you start playing in our online casino, you can find out the basics about the best slots and other popular casino games here.
THE TERMS “SLOT” AND “SLOT MACHINE” EXPLAINED IN GREATER DETAIL
Slots or slot machines feature several rotating reels that are positioned side by side. The reels show various symbols. Fruit, cash or other lucky symbols like the red 7 are especially popular. The reels might also display special symbols such as the Wild or Scatter. The reels are turned with a spin. In the background, a random generator calculates the order that is displayed after the reels have stopped and whether you bag a prize.
HOW YOU WIN WITH SLOTS
The aim when playing is to line up matching symbols side by side. In more modern slot machines, these can run across the reels horizontally, diagonally and/or on special lines. These patterns are always shown in video slots – regardless of whether you play on a land-based machine in a casino or on your mobile via an app.
THESE SPECIAL SYMBOLS ARE AVAILABLE IN SLOTS
However, slots have much more to offer. More modern slot machines in particular seldom forgo special symbols. The most well-known gambling symbols on slot machines are the Wild and the Scatter. Both take on a decisive role during gameplay: The Wild is a kind-of Joker. It quickly takes on the role of other picture symbols in the slot and can therefore improve the result. Game Jokers are also used in many well-known card games such as Poker. The Scatter mostly enables winnings independent of its position, and in many cases it also triggers a bonus. This could be Free Games – spins in which you don’t have to stake any francs – or features in which you can get your hands on particularly large wins if your luck is in. By the way, in some slot machines, special symbols can trigger a jackpot feature or other bonus games.
IMPORTANT SLOT TERMS AT A GLANCE
- Reel: Vertically rotatable cylinder with different game symbols. Several reels are arranged side by side in slots.
- Win line: The pattern on which identical game symbols have to be arranged to score wins. These can be fixed or selectable. In addition, there are slot games without any lines (all-pay slots).
- Spin: One turn of the reels. Early game machines such as the one-armed bandit worked mechanically. A spin was started with a lever. In online slots this is done by pressing the “Play” button.
- Wild: A special symbol that can substitute for other symbols and complete winning combinations.
- Scatter: A special symbol that enables winnings independent of its position or triggers Free Games.
- Free Games: Bonus spins triggered by Scatter symbols where a win can be achieved without staking any francs at all. These bonus games allow for additional winnings with a little luck!
- RTP: The share of a slot machine stake that is on average returned to the player over a longer period (“return to player”).
- Jackpot: An additional win which can, depending on the online slot, be triggered by many identical symbols or hits with special symbols.
