Penny Slots alive for another six months

December 3rd, 2009

We were contacted by many readers of this blog, wondering what will happening to little innocent online penny slot machines. The reason they asked, in case you are unaware, is that the US government was pushing a law to abolish most forms of online gambling. And believe or not, this included betting pennies at slot machines. Now, we want to give a general update on this matter.

Penny slot players are in good hands with Obama’s administration. The implementation of the online Gambling Ban has been delay for another 6 months. It’s deadline was on this past December 1st and thanks to the efforts of some Democrats, as well as major banks and financial institutions, the Treasure of the USA has delayed it. They put some pressure on since the UIGEA (as the law is called) was not very clear in many things. Technically speaking, the online gambling ban does not pursue particular slot players nor the casinos themselves, rather it aims at stopping all financial institutions from providing payment services to and from gambling sites. According to specialists, the UIGEA is very unclear in many points so that banks and e-methods are not sure exactly what classifies as unlawful gambling site and which are considered legal. This uncertainty prompted the delay and we should expect a revision of the UIGEA in the following months. Some experts say that they will even try to pass a new legislation that will make legal for online gambling sites to operate and be taxed in the USA. This will make online gambling therefore much safer with more companies based within the US, and will provide a healthy income to the government of an estimated $2 Billion dollars a year.

This seems to be good news for now for online penny slot players in the USA. US players will still have several options for deposits and cash out winnings from online penny slots.

Can I play video slots for just pennies?

October 23rd, 2009

It would be surprising to hear that most slot players don’t know they can play for pennies all slots, including video slots and islots. There is a restriction for progressive slots but that is self-evident if you’ve played these games, as to win the progressive jackpot a minimum bet is required. What most slot players don’t know is that they can wager pennies on all other slots. But we warn that there is a cost for doing this.

Most 3-reel or traditional slots are quite straightforward and you can just raise or lower the denomination without much effect on the betting style. You simply get the payout advertized on the pay-table in the denomination you’ve selected. However, when video slots or interactive slots are concerned, the betting structures are a bit more complex. You can not only modify the denomination of the machine, you can also select up to 20 coin bets and up to 20 betting lines. This plays a big role into the odds the player may get when hitting a winning combination.

To play for just pennies on these slot machines the player must reduce the game to penny denomination, place only 1 coin bet and select only the main betting line. By doing so the player is only wagering one penny per spin. However, this is not always advised as these video and I-slots are designed to pay better if more betting lines are selected. When the player only selects one betting line the chances of getting a good winning combination in the 5 reels only through the chosen betting line are slim. So, technically yes, you can play for pennies at these games but it will be at a cost as the possibilities of generating a good bankroll are slimmer.

Not all video slots are the same so this advice should not be taken universally for every online slot game out there. We just warn the player to check carefully what his or her winning chances are when they play so low at just one betting line.

Cleopatra’s Coins – great slots fun for pennies or dollars

September 10th, 2009

If you are looking for a superb slots alternative, you want to be focused in on Cleopatra’s Coins, the new online penny slots game from Superior Casino, the best place online for lost of all kinds, including those in which you can invest as low as a penny and still be in line for some juicy payouts.

Cleopatra’s Coins is a five-reel, fifteen-payline slot that brings to mind a time of old Egypt, and brings things like the Sphinx and the Pharaohs front and center. If you are the type of player who is on a budget, this is a game that is ideal for you, as you can play any spin for as low as a penny. Of course, if you would like to be in for the maximum payouts on any of the symbols available, you’ll want to check out the “Bet Max” button at the bottom of the interface.

This game is unique in the respect that it has wild and not one, but TWO scatter symbols. First, the wild, which is the “Scarab,” helps you to complete any winning combinations, so you can get paid. The scatter symbols – the Asp and the Coin – also lead to some fun, and some additional play. If you get three of the Asps, and that goes for anywhere on the five reels of this game, you get to take some free spins. The first set is ten, but if you do well enough you could wind up with as many as a hundred, and that will be the break you are looking for to bust this game right open, even if you are just wagering a penny!

The Coin symbols also produce something pretty interesting, as three of those on the reels will take you to the Cleopatra’s Coins Bonus Game, where you are going to be breaking open various urns to see what kind of rewards are inside them. This is a great opportunity to pick up something extra. If you get five Coin symbols, you get five shots at the urns!
