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.
