Playing online video slots

May 22nd, 2009

In my opinion, I find Video Slot much more fun that other traditional slot games. Take for example that classic Sevens & Bars. So you get 3 reels full of little icons and you spin and spin till you get three 7’s or three Bars: wow how exciting! Don’t get me wrong, Slot games are cool and I love to play them. But I find 3-reel slots are a fad of the past. Nowadays, with all the technology in our hands, are we going to keep playing the same old slot games?

A new buzz was created when Video Slots were released online. Of course, many video games can be found in brick and mortar casinos, but the ones found on the web were something else. The video slot games found on the web have better animations and sound-effects. Also, they are more interactive, because they allow you to play in mini-games with your mouse or keyboard. The fact that it’s a computer program allows the game to move from scene to scene and the reels can momentarily be replaced with a scene of outer space or the ocean’s bottom. In those special scenes you have to use your imagination and skill to uncover treasures or find coins, all of which translate to a final jackpot when you finish the bonus round or mini-game.

Video slots also have special features within the reels. The scatter, multiplier and wild icons all have special effects on the outcome of the game. When any of these appear you can either receive bonus chips, double or triple your current win or collect free spins. As you’ll soon discover playing video slots for free or for real money is an experience hard to forget.
