Learn to Play Video Slots
Video Slots are based on Slots found in land-based casinos that use a video display and five reels, rather than the three spinning wheels found on the more traditional three-reel format. The games have enhanced graphics and more effects than three-reel Slots, and create a richer overall gaming experience.
Unlike three-reel Slots, Video Slots always have more than one payline, and sometimes as many as nine. Just like three-reel Slots, certain symbol combinations falling on the activated paylines generate a win.
Variations of Video Slots
Video Slots have various special symbols such as scatter symbols, multipliers and wild symbols. Some games offer bonus screens, and even a gamble feature, where you can risk your whole win for the opportunity of potentially doubling or even quadrupling it.

Video Slots Tips
- Before you start playing, have a look at the paytable to see the winning combinations. You will generally need to click through to another screen to view it. These paytables are more complex than three-reel Slots, but easy to understand once you get used to them.
- As with three-reel Slots, it is important to realize the difference between coin size and number of coins bet. (See Tips section on three-reel slots for more details.)
- Some Video Slots, such as Thunderstruck or Spring Break, also have the option to bet a certain number of coins per line. So you need to think carefully here - what coin size you want, how many paylines you want to activate and how many coins per line. Betting maximum lines and maximum coins can allow for betting up to 45 coins per spin!
- Some Video Slots have rules that winning combinations need to start in either reel 1 or 5, and therefore might not pay out if the combination is in reels 2, 3, 4.
