If you think of really technology innovations over the last few years,
online slots games must surely rate right up there. Land based casino slots
games have for years been the most popular games and online slots games
have been no different and, in some casers, are even outdoing their land based
counterparts for entertainment value. The first online slots games available for
real money play became available in 1996. These were a couple of simple, 3 reel
slots. How things have changed in the last ten years. Let's have a look at some
of the types of online slots games that are now the most popular.
Our online
slots guide contains an extensive index of all types of online slots games,
with full reviews of each.
Types of Online Slots Games
There are many different types of online slots but they can broadly be
categorized by these features:
- Number of reels
- Number of lines
- Free spin option
- Bonus feature or second screen
- Progressive jackpots
Classic 3 Reel Slots Games
These are the online version of the good old one arm bandits we all know so
well. They are simple games, typically only three reels, and mostly have a
single pay line (although some have 3 and 5 pay lines). These are still very
popular online and with good reason. They still offer some huge jackpots for a
relatively small bet. Some of the more popular games are
Bulls Eye and
Diamond Deal.

Multi Line Video Slots Games
Multi line video slots games are similar to video slots or "Australian style"
slots that you find in land based casinos. There are literally hundreds of these
available online and they range anywhere between 5 and 25 pay lines. Many of
these can be played for as little as a penny per pay line, which makes them even
more popular. They have wild and exotic themes, and some have even been designed
based on famous characters like
The Hulk and Lara Croft in
Tomb
Raider.

Bonus Feature Slots Games
These are by far the most exciting slots games and they come in many
varieties. Bonus feature slots games have a second screen game, which is
triggered by landing a certain combination of symbols during normal play. The
bonus features games offer you the chance to win extra coins, either through
"pick a box" style games, or through some interesting themed games, like
spinning a jackpot wheel. The most popular bonus feature slots games are old
favorites like
Thunderstruck, and some of the newer games like
Viking's Voyage and
Isis.

Progressive Slots Games
Gold Rally Progressive Slot, a massive $1.97 million. Other popular games
include
Millionaires Club, which seems to be won quite regularly and was produces
its biggest winner in December 2005 for a whopping $1.77 million.
The most important thing to remember about playing progressive jackpot slots
games is to always play the maximum bet. The last thing you want is to hit the
winning combination, only to find you didn't bet on the pay line. Visit our
