Slots Hero

I was scanning the internet for the best slot games online yesterday when it hit me, applications! Why have I not thought to play casino games on my phone and tablet computer? All this time it was right at my fingertips, literally. I left Wikipedia and went immediately to Google. There I hunted down reviews, personal blogs, ratings and came up with a list of the slot applications that you should be downloading.

Let’s start with the free ones and then slowly work our way into the high-roller apps. Meaning the ones that will set you back one or two dollars. My favorite free one should be pretty easy to find: ‘Slot Machine’ is the name of it. Although a rather simple name, ‘Slot Machine’ has over 20 different games to choose from and offers a $100 welcoming bonus.

If you are willing to spend a dollar on an app then ‘Monkey Money Slots’ or ‘Lucky 7 Slots’ are for you. These both have a lot of fun features, and can become easily addictive.

Now if you have two dollars lying around then I have the game that you should purchase. ‘Vegas Slots’ will literally virtually transport you to Vegas just by playing this application. I find this game to be the most effective out of all of the casino games, not just slot games.

So there you have it, the best slots apps out there. What shall I write about next? What do you need to know and learn to become a slot hero? I am here to be your authority on all things slots!

asinos are starting to pop up all over the states. In a country where there only used to be two states with legalized non-Indian gambling, there certainly seems to be many bills being passed in favor of gambling. Ohio is the first state to start a casino project consisting of casinos spread throughout the state in the most populated cities. Cleveland is the first city, The Horseshoe Casino will be open in March of 2012, and Toledo, Cincinnati, and Columbus will follow in the coming year.

The Horseshoe Casino in the heart of blue collar Cleveland is providing nearly 2,000 jobs internally, as well as over 2,000 construction and contractor jobs. The casino itself will not be as glam and glitzy as anything in Vegas; it will be centered around other Cleveland attractions including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and their home sports teams. It will have around 2,000 slot machines, 60 specialty table games and around 30 poker tables, which will be a pretty good size Casino situated right in the middle of downtown. According to Bingo.com it is supposed to draw around 5 million tourists who will also be enjoying shopping and dining in the downtown area.

One of the determining factors for the bill to pass was the promise for even more jobs with further construction on the casino in the coming years. The main reason these casinos are being approved is because of the failing employment rate and economy in Ohio. Cleveland and Toledo are one of the poorest major cities in the US and these casinos are meant to help turn that statistic around.

I used to only like playing slots in actual brick and mortar casinos because I thought online jackpot winning was non-existent, and online casinos had no one to audit them. I soon found out that my perception was actually a misconception. Every online casino has Random Number Generation installed in their software; well the reputable ones anyway. What the software does is ensure that the game you are playing is completely fair and random.

Random Number Generation (RNG) can take three different forms. There is the computational form, the physical form and the human form. Your favorite online casino uses the computational form which uses complex formulas and algorithms. This method is used on a variety of different things including cryptography, completely randomized design, and statistical sampling.

The physical method is used at your favorite casino. This method comes in the form of a dice throw, a wheel spin, even a card deal.

The least common method is the human method. Although humans claim to be completely random they are not. This method is truly unreliable and therefore not favored by many scientists.

So now you’re wondering how to know if your casino complies with RNG standards, right? Every casino is audited regularly by the Technical Systems Testing (TST) for complete randomization. There is no way a casino can “tighten up” their machines. In fact every casino has a payout percentage. This means that for the amount of money put into a casino, they have to payout a certain percentage of that money. So you know that if you are playing at a casino with a payout percentage of 98% you are going to hit more often.

I was just in a casino last weekend and noticed a lot of pop culture slot machines everywhere. There was Sex and The City, Wheel of Fortune, and even Happy Days. But one slot machine that I am really looking forward to seeing is the Michael Jackson Slot Machine.

I was reading an article at cnn today about this new, very exciting slot machine that will start showing up in most casinos by early 2012.

It is a slot machine unlike any other slot machine, just like he was a performing unlike any other performer. The machine was tested in late October and received rave reviews.

Bally Technologies manufactured it and has decided that the target market will be the MTV music video age group, although David Schwartz, University of Nevada Gaming Analyst says it will most likely appeal to all age groups.

Schwartz also comments that he has never played a game as interactive and exciting as this one, and hopes that slot machines in the future will follow in its path.

The game is equipped with a vibrating chair and surround sound going around the whole machine. It also has four high definition screens for betting, and watching the King of Pop moonwalk across all screens.  There is also a periodical break for his many music videos to play.

This game is the epitome of entertainment and is sure to be a huge hit in the casino, and eventually in your computer screen at your favorite online casino while playing online casino games for real money.

Here are a few essential tips to keep in mind when you are playing slots online.

First let’s find our website. Make sure you’re playing at the best online casino, if you don’t know what one of these casinos are go to a gambling directory for help, like Yahoo! or Online Casino Suite.
Make sure the site you are at allows you to practice with some funny money. This should be around $1,000; all of the best casinos provide you with this. Also make sure you are at a casino with at least a 95% payout. Upper 90s are what you should aim for, and they are out there.

Once you have found the site you would like to play at, find your game. I like to play progressive slot machines with bonus rounds. Any game with a bonus round is in general going to have a higher jackpot for you to win. And a progressive game means the jackpot keeps growing with every bet, until it is won.

When I play I like to place the max bet. You cannot win the maximum jackpot without the max bet. If you are playing at a game where the max bet is just far too large, than you are playing at the wrong machine, it’s that simple.

And finally practice. Get a feel for the game. Any seasoned slot player is going to tell you that the best way to win at slots is to warm up to the machine, and trust your gut.

Not all online casinos will launch their new online slots games at the beginning of a new month. Virgin Casino would be one such online casino. As they are a powered by multiple software developers, they get more online slots to launch each month.

But rather than push everything out at once, they only launch one each week so that each new online slots game gets some attention. However, this week we see Virgin launching two new—new for them—online slots games and centering both around a joint slots promotion.

The first of the new games is Call of the Coliseum. Just as it sounds, this has a Roman Empire theme for its five reels and twenty paylines. Players will find that this online slots game has a jackpot of 5,000 coins. Online slots players can also trigger up to twelve free spins with a 3 xs multiplier.

The other new to Virgin online slots game that is being launched this month is the Dynasty Slots game. This is an older Microgaming online slots game that is coming from its QuickFire platform. QuickFire allows multi-platform online casinos to bring Microgaming online slots to their players. Dynasty is a five reel, twenty five payline online slots game with an Oriental theme. This one also has a jackpot of 5,000 coins when landing the Swordsman. Dynasty offers ten free spins with a 2 xs multiplier.

The ability to launch a new online slots game each week keeps online slots players looking forward to something new to try on a regular basis.

So this morning we talked about how important scatter payouts were to players looking to choose an online slots game. It is, after all, a payout that does not require symbols to land left to right on an active payline and it pays out based on your total wager rather than just what you wagered on one payline.

But there is more to look for in the pay table of an online slots game when choosing.

The key to finding an online slots game with a good pay table is to keep the preservation of your bankroll in mind. Sure we would all love to win the jackpot on any online slots game we play, and that would mean choosing the slots game with the highest jackpot possible. Unfortunately the jackpot is not the easiest payout to land.

This means looking at the other payouts that you could win. Pay attention to the payouts that you are likely to get on a frequent basis. Sure these payouts are not going to win you back the cost of two or three spins. They may not even win you back the cost of one spin. But they are giving you something and that something is increasing the longevity of your online slots bankroll.

Look to see if an online slots game offers any sort of regular payout—not a scatter—with only two symbols. Also look to see if there are three symbol payouts in that would also help keep your slots bankroll alive.

Playing online slots is about playing smart and that means thinking of the preservation of your online slots bankroll.

Well after a bit of a break from advice on how to choose an online slots game I think it is time to revisit the topic. Recently we talked about why to stay away from progressive online slots and how important the number of paylines is. Now it is time to look at the pay table.

Before spinning the reels of any online slots game scope out its pay table. There are some types of payouts that you want to be on the lookout for:

Scatter payouts can be some of the best regular play payouts. Typically players will only land the lowest paying combinations on a regular basis. Because of that you will want to check out what kind of payouts the smaller scatters offer.

One good thing is an online slots game that only requires two scatters to receive a payout. This makes it all the easier to win a payout.

But there is one thing in regard to scatter payouts that you will want to definitely make sure of and that its the lowest payout. Never go for an online slots game that only offers a 1x payout for the smallest number of scatters. While that will recoup you the cost of the spin that allowed you to win that 1x payout, it does nothing more for you or for preserving your bankroll.

You will want to look for an online slots game whose smallest scatter payout is 2x. This will not only give you back the cost of your spin—since scatter payouts are based on your total wager—but it will also give you a little bit extra.

I will talk some more this afternoon about scoping out the pay table.

Croissants? Eiffel Tower? Art? Sound like a nice night in Paris? If it does than you will want to check out the other Net Entertainment release this month called A Night in Paris.

A Night in Paris is another new online slots game from Net Entertainment, whose games can be found at Mr. Green Casino. This five reel, thirty payline online slots game offers players rich 3D graphics to bring Paris alive.

And alive is just what our thief is. Oh yes, this online slots game features a thief who is trying to make off with art treasures. All in the midst of the city of romance. …And croissants.

The thief theme is really carried out in the bonus game, otherwise the theme just gives players a selection of popular motifs associated with Pairs. The bonus game is triggered when the player lands three or more Framed Pictures. Players are then asked to choose one of three pieces of art: a vase or a painting or a statue. Then the player watches as the thief goes in to try to steal the art. As they watch they also will learn what kind of payout they will win.

Now that we have some bonus action attached to the bad guy, what about the good guy? The gendarme’s Badge is the trigger for the free spins.

A Night in Paris also features two special payout combinations. Land either a Thief-Badge-Gendarme or Gendarme-Badge-Thief combination and receive a special bonus payout.

Players who liked Net Entertainment’s Dragon Island will enjoy A Night in Pars. While it is clear that different artists had a hand in the creation of each online slots game, the quality of the games themselves are top shelf.
