Pay lines in slot machines

This theme is mainly for those who only start playing slots and is devoted to slot pay lines.

All slot machines have different number of lines, and this number can be from 1 to 100. The pay line or a line of payments is a line on which in case of certain symbols appear on it will give the player the chance to get a prize. The number of active pay lines and their arrangement on a screen are defined initially by slot machines developers.

At first sight someone can think that the more pay lines are in the slots, the more often the prize will be get. But it is wrong. Knowing that players like to play multiline games slot machines manufacturers have solved a problem of frequent payments. So modern multiline videos slots have odds more than 40 % on each spin that’s why the player wins once per every three spins.

The most often dropping out combinations have the least payout. Thus, despite the fact that the player slowly, but surely loses his money, he seems he wins all the time.

The typical representative of such greedy multiline machines is Mad Hatters slot which is in many casinos. This slot machine has 30 pay lines, there is a wild symbol which extends on the third reel on if appears. There is also a scatter and bonus symbols that allow winning a bigger prize.

On the other scales there are videos slots with less number of pay lines. The main representatives of such slots are 9 line slot machines, for instance, Reel Thunder video slot. The slot has a wild and a scatter that allow the player to get more prizes.

According to the practice, 9 line slots give larger prizes more often, but winning combinations drop out more seldom. Whereas multiline slot machines (20-30 pay lines) give prizes more often, these prizes are cheaper.

I want to remind you that all characteristics given above concern only slot pay lines without paying attention to the things with which slot games are stuffed. There are wilds, scatters and bonus games. In online slots with a fewer pay lines bonus games start more often, and prizes are more considerable there.
