Slots
|
| Slots can be a lot of fun, but this is an area were you have
to be really carefully. Unlike the card and dice games
where we are working with probabilities for known possible outcomes,
with slots we are talking about wheel spins and its virtually
impossible to analyse the games with any degree of confidence.
Its long been said that it you stick a pound in a fruit machine
in your pub the "house" edge can be anything from
10% (if you're really lucky) to over 50%. In casinos
the house edge is generally much more reasonable based on
random numbers and defined payout probabilities, yet slots
on average would have the highest house edge of any game at
a casino.

So
what's the attraction of slots? |
| The attraction of slots is similar to that well known
terrible odds game millions of us play every week - the National
Lottery. With slots there is the chance to win big,
really big. If you strike it lucky on the slots you
could win 10,000 or 100,000+ in one click. No great
odds table game goes close to that.
The other attraction of slots is the range of fun games that
are available. The variation in the games with the different
bonus rounds and challenges makes each one quite different
and it can be fun to learn new ones.

Odds |
| Finally we cant really have a casino page without a quick
word on the odds. We've already said that we dont think
slots are about odds really - they are about entertainment,
but if you are looking to play slots at reasonable odds then
the best we've come across so far is at Private where they
claim a house edge of 1.9%, which as slots go is very low.
They don't have much of a range of slots there though.
