iSlots are the term used to describe interactive slots and were created in 2006 by Rivalpowered casino software.  What makes these slots a little different from what you might normally think about a slot is that there is either a skill element involved or more interaction from the user.  Think of it like a slot but with a bonus game but that bonus game is super cool. That’s interactive slots in a nutshell for you.

One of the first islot games ever made is called As The Reels Turn which is a soap opera style based game.  Another immensely popular game is Hole in Won which is a golf themed islot featuring mini put bonus round games. These bonus rounds you get to use your mouse to control the ball direction and power and you must try to get a hole in one for the biggest win size.

Payout percentages are a reference of the money bet on the slot game versus the money paid out. So for example a 50% slots payout percentage would mean that for every $100 wagered on this game, the average payout was exactly $50. If the payout percentage is 107 then you guessed it, it would be $107 payout meaning that this game is giving out more money than it is taking in with 100% being a complete break even game.

Is it possible for a slot to be over 100% payout?

This is usually not a common thing to happen as online slots payout percentages are typically 95% average with land based casinos being 80%. However in a month when a player hits a progressive jackpot, this payout percentage can soar well over 110%.

How do I find out what the payout percentage is?

This information can be difficult to find but not impossible. If you are a depositing player at any online casino, ask your VIP manager. Your question should be, which slots are hot this month that are paying out higher than average. A good manager will get back to you with a list of 3 to 5 slots that are on fire with players winning more than what they put in.

Classic Slots

With no distracting animations these slot games play faster. The jackpot sizes tend to be a bit more blunt either they are smaller with frequent wins or larger jackpot sizes and don’t hit as frequently. Sometimes the house edges on these games can be 20% on land based casinos and 4% to 5% with online casinos. This might seem high but players usually don’t take this into consideration when playing a slot game, they just want to spend some time spinning and hope to get a big jackpot win.

Video Slots

These slot games are not well known for having larger jackpot sizes but rather for lasting longer in gameplay. Players might like these for the visual effects. The paylines can be all over the place with 5 reels such as 10, 15, 20, 25 and even up to 50 paylines for some slots. On top of this you can get scatters, wild symbols, bonus rounds and even paylines that work in both directions. 5 reel slots are fun but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

So which is better? Depends on what you want, are you chasing a large jackpot? Do you like simple games? Are you wanting your money to last longer when you game? The choice is yours!
