The gameplay of the slot machine is simple, easy to understand and highly entertaining. Players only need to insert coins or points, pull down their arm or press a button, and the machine will start to rotate. After stopping, the size of the bonus will be determined according to the patterns and winning lines that appear.
In different slot machine games, there may be multiple winning lines, special symbols and different bonus ratios, giving players more choices and greater chances of winning bonuses.
What types of slot machines are there? How to play slot machines
According to the gameplay, slot machines can be divided into: traditional slot machines, reward-based composite slot machines, progressive slot machines and connected slot machines.
Traditional slot machine
The first slot machine in the history of traditional slot machines was made of cast iron. It had three reels with different patterns on the inside, and a coin hole and activated rocker on the outside.
Insert coins and pull the rocker to start the reels. When the three reels finally stop with the same pattern, it means you have won.
Bonus compound slot machine
The gameplay is the same as above, but the difference is that when you bet the highest and win the jackpot, there will be additional rewards. For example, if you bet the same three yuan, you can get 30 yuan from the compound slot machine, and you can get 100 yuan from the bonus-type compound slot machine, which is suitable for advanced players who can take out a higher bet at one time.
Progressive slot machines, connected slot machines
The bonuses for these two slot machines are calculated in a progressive manner, just like lotto. The amount each player bets will continue to accumulate to the winning bonus, but as soon as someone wins, the bonus will be reset to zero and the calculation will start again.
The difference is that connected slot machines use computers to connect all the machines in the casino. Because there are basic bonuses and jackpots, the final amount can reach a very considerable amount!

3 Strategies for Winning Money at Slot Machines
Study the odds table
Before you start playing, take a look at the paytable. Each slot game has its own unique symbols and features, and the paytable explains how they work.
Go for a smaller jackpot
Choose games with smaller jackpots rather than huge jackpots. The allure of a big win is understandable, but this way you're more likely to emerge as a winner.
Watch out for the bonus round
Keep your eyes open for the tempting bonus rounds. Here you'll find free spins and progressive jackpots, and knowing your paylines means you know your chances of winning.
It’s not easy to tell whether you’ve won on a slot machine. Sometimes it may appear that you have won back the points, but you may not be able to win back the entire bet amount. Pay attention to the difference between the winning amount and the betting amount per spin.
⚠️Note: When you win less than your stake, you have actually lost. This is also called "False Win"
The principle of slot machine
The random number generator for each slot machine is implemented through a special computer program that uses a pseudo-random number generator to generate a random sequence of numbers. These numerical sequences are used to control the spin speed and stop position of each wheel, thereby affecting the player's winning or losing outcome.
There is a computer chip inside the slot machine, which is called a random number generator (RNG for short). As shown in the figure below, the pattern on the left is equivalent to a number on the right. When the rotating button is pressed, the random number generator stops on a set of random numbers. (The left side is usually what the player sees, and the right side is the screen displayed inside the machine.)
