How to play slots
Playing online slots for the first time can be a bit of a head-scratcher. That’s why we’ve pulled together this handy guide to help you navigate our range of great slot machines in our online casino.
The Basics
Online Slots are a thrilling game of chance. The slot machines have a number of symbols shown on the reels and the goal is to spin the reels so the symbols form a winning combination on a payline. The reel-ly exciting part - how much you win – depends on the combo formed. This can vary according to the slot type and bet size.
To start spinning the reels you can either:
- Go all out and hit the "Max Bet" button - this ballsy option will automatically select all paylines and the maximum number of coins per lines.
- Be a cautious Charlie and select the number of paylines and coins per line to determine your total bet amount. Don’t forget to press "spin"!
Always select your preferred coin size (the amount you want to bet per payline) before playing, as this will help you not blow the lot in one go. Some slot machines can have over of 50 paylines (up to 100. See the Cashapillar slot machine so keep a beady eye on the total amount you bet or your session could be a tear-jerker.
If Lady Luck’s smiling down on you and you have a winning combination lined up, then the win will be highlighted on the reels and the amount will pop up in the bottom right-hand corner (Check out the Payout Table for the particular Online Slot Machine you are playing). Some spins may trigger bonus features that could reward you:
- Free spins (and multiplier). Not bad.
- An immediate payout (as with scatters). Even better.
- A bonus game. Phwoaar, yes please.
Once the above is done and dusted, your spin is over. All coin payouts will be credited to your account and it’s now time to crack open the bubbly! If you didn’t have a winning combination then that particular game is over. You can always have another go by repeating the same bet by clicking "spin", changing the bet amount or pressing "max bet". Remember, third time’s a charm.

All the slot action happens on the reels. The limited number of symbols and reels mean it may take some time to bag bigger wins. So put the kettle on and go make yourself a cuppa.
