Advantages

Online slots have their own big advantages. This article goes over all  the benefits of playing slot games at online casinos...

Convenience factor
But why online slots? What kind of advantage do Internet slots have over terrestrial slot machines? We believe that online slots are superior in a number of ways. Firstly, online slots are very convenient as you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own home. In a way, all the slots machines are under your roof. Plus, there is no need to book a costly flight to Las Vegas. It is also truth that some people prefer the hype of casino and face-to-face contact with other players. It is simply a matter of personal preference.

Online casino games are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It is a frequent and pretty frustrating situation in traditional casinos that your favorite slot machine is already used by some other player. So either you are forced to wait, or play on some inferior machine. In online casinos there is no waiting, you can play as long as you want, when you want, straight away.

Bigger returns
A recent research has found that the payback return, or RTP (Return to Player), is higher for online casino slots. RTP is simply the percentage of all the wagered money a slot machine will pay back to the players. Therefore, an RTP rate of 90% means that for every 100 Euros spent players on slots, 90 Euros is payed back in winnings. Obviously, some players will win, others will lose, but the house takes its 10%, always.

For online slots, an average RTP is 95.71%. For traditional slots, depending on the country, the average RTP varies between 89.62% (Australia) and 93.12% (USA). Need more arguments?

Variety is the key word
Online slots stand for a remarkable variety of playing options. There are tens of hundreds of online slot games on the Internet. First of all, online slots come in two different forms: web-based that is loaded in a browser (popular flash, or slightly less popular java), or in a downloadable version. And they can be played both for free as well, something you won't be able to do at brick and mortar casinos.

Slot games can be further divided into 3 reel slot machines, 5 reel slots with multiple pay lines or progressive slots. The themes of slot games vary one from another and can be related to comic books, novels, movies, computer games, sports, cultures or, to cut a long story short, to any area of life imagined, for instance, summer holidays or space travel.

Additionally, a great number of online slots offer bonus features such as free spins or bonus rounds where, for instance, you stand a chance to double or even quadruple their winnings by correctly guessing between two or more choices.

Brand new online slots are released every week as software producers come up with ever more extraordinary ideas and themes for slot games. Developers have also learned to stick with more popular themes to further entice players by keeping their interests, or even those who have never been fans of gambling.

Pros of anonymity
Playing in a real-life casino means that everyone can observe you and see how much you win. Some players feel it's an uncomfortable and even an insecure situation. When you play online slots, your winnings are only known by you and your casino. You can keep your winnings secret as their are no witnesses, no friends or spouse.

Payment problems no more
Waiting in queue for the cashier at the casino is a common enough inconvenience whatever your business may be, for instance changing money for coins, or cashing the coins from your winnings into real notes. Depositing and withdrawing is almost instant in any online casino .

And no more distraction
When you are sitting at a real-life slot machine you can always find people looking at how you are playing from behind your back. Well, it is only a sign of their curiosity, but still it can be pretty distracting. Online slots allow you to focus completely on your game, so that you can enjoy it more.

Alcohol and gambling do not mix
In brick and mortar casinos you are less likely to remain level-headed and say stop when you cross your pre-set gambling limit. The odds are high that you will 'fall victim' to cocktail waitresses handing out free alcoholic beverages to slot machines players to keep them in place and presumably increase the casinos’ revenue.

What do I need to play online slots?
Not much really. First of all, remember that the norm in the online gambling industry is to require
that players be 18 or older to open accounts and gamble. The legal gambling age in the US, however, varies from state to state, and it is either 18 or 21, and in Las Vegas, for instance, the minimum gambling age is 21.

Find the right reputable casino which accepts your preferred payment method. Open an account and make an initial deposit. Some gambling websites may also require that you download the software to play online games. And finally the most important thing that we sincerely wish you is some good luck on your side!

But how to play?
Playing online slot games is simple enough and almost no different from playing their offline counterpart. Place a wager. Decide how which lines you want to play, and then decide how much you want to bet per line. Hit the "Spin" button and wait for the result.
