Penny Slots Online

Rarity of penny slots online

January 14th, 2010

It is unfortunate the you don’t find excessive amounts of penny slots online. Most slot won’t let you go below a nickel and this is perhaps too much for some of the players out there. The reason is that online casino want to make as much profit as they can and accruing pennies is no way of becoming instantly rich. There are still some games that allow you to play with as little as one penny. The rate of new games coming out is, however, overwhelmingly in favor of higher denominations.

As we’ve explored in previous posts, these non-penny slots can be reduced almost to a minimum. The slot games like video slots and I-slots are not meant to be played with pennies but you can reduce the denomination to a minimum, reduce the betting lines and coin bets. At the end you can be betting around a nickel per spin but the fun of playing this games is when you have all betting lines activated plus the maximum amount of coin bets (since some jackpots are only access in max bet).

If we take a look at the online casino game developers we noticed that only a few have taken the time to develop traditional slots for penny. When they are available, it is usually the Vegas-style 3-reel slots that are most common in land-based casinos. To take an example, Rival-Gaming is constantly releasing new slot games in the category of video slots or I-slots. But they only have around 9 traditional slots that allow single penny bets.

Perhaps in the future this trend might change and all new games will be provided for penny slot players. A casino can make a lot of profit on us if there are millions of penny slot players playing all the time.

One Million Reels BC Free Jackpot Fun

January 8th, 2010

One Million Reels BC is an unusual free online slot that offers a fantastic progressive jackpot. This free slot is unusual in that it only offers three reels, like a classic slot game, but 5 different paylines to create winning patterns. Usually with three reel slots it is not easy to score significant winnings but in One Millions Reels BC this is made more simple with the 5 reels, the possibility of hitting the progressive jackpot and the different special icons in the game. The coin value in the game is set at a fixed 0.25 and players can wager up to three coins per line.

The theme of the game is about the dinosaur era. I hadn’t found online slots that offer this theme so it was quite fresh and exciting to see something different in the mix. The graphics, dinosaur animations and background sounds fit really well with this theme and makes the player feel like being right at the Jurassic era. Amongst the symbols in the reels we can find the different colored dinosaur eggs, the caveman, the cavewoman and T-Rex. Hitting 2 T-Rex symbols will get you 2000 coins but landing 3 of these will really get you closer to financial freedom by taking away the huge progressive jackpot.

In order to be eligible to win the progressive jackpot players must hit the three symbols plus have wagered the maximum betting amount of 3 coins. Remember that when a player wins a progressive jackpot this is immediately reset to zero, so it is a good idea to play these games once the jackpot has accumulated at least a little bit. The latest figures won by players on One Million Reels BC ranged between the amounts of $215,412, $248,136, $6,932 and $19,597. It goes without saying that progressive jackpot amounts are unpredictable but certainly juicy.

When Penny Slots become too boring

December 31st, 2009

Many players start gambling solely on penny slot machines, firstly, because they are the cheapest to play naturally, and secondly, because being cheap the money last longer. However, there comes a time when you’ve played penny slot machines long enough and you feel the need for a change. Upgrading to a nickel machine is probably the first reaction to this feeling but you should beware of this move. If you play nickel slots you immediately must notice how much faster the money run out. Obviously it is 5 times more than a penny bet but the reason that it goes faster is because the penny slot player is used to playing FAST and with higher denomination playing fast could entail quick losses.

If you become bored of penny slots what you can do is increase the coin bets in the machine rather than going up into a new denomination. So, instead of betting 1 penny you can increase the coin bets per spin sometimes up to 20 times. Another option is to go to video slots or interactive which have more than one betting line and this way you can stay on the penny denomination while increasing slowly the bet till you find a new comfortable betting limit. Just remember that as you increase the amount of the bet you should play slower since the money may be going out faster.

Increasing your bet wagers will also increase the jackpots you may hit. A smart move is to play at slightly higher bet ranges and as soon as you hit a significant sum return to your normal penny wagers. This way your money will last much longer and you can get many hours of online gambling entertainment. If you prefer, you may cash out when you win in the higher bet ranges. Calculate how much is the max you could have won on a single penny bet and then compare it with the jackpot you won on your higher bet range. If it goes much above the former then it’s a pretty good idea to withdraw your winnings.
