There isn’t a lot to playing slots. Once you understand the basic premise, you’ll understand pretty much everything. The rules, such as they are, are very simple, and that’s all part of the fun; it’s what makes slots at UK Casino 666casino so ideal as a hobby because you don’t have to think about it very much but it’s still exciting. There is only one thing that can cause confusion, and that’s the various different terms that are used when playing. So let’s look a little closer at the three that raise the most questions. Once you understand this, you’ll understand everything.
RTP
RTP stands for ‘return to player’ and this is a vital element to understand when playing any internet slot game. Don’t ignore the RTP (which should be listed with the game information. If it isn’t, that’s illegal, and you should probably play elsewhere to be on the safe side) as this can give you a good idea of whether or not to play. As mentioned above, if it’s missing you should not play, but equally, if it’s too low you may want to walk away too.
The RTP is a percentage score of how likely it is you will win your money back. That doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed, and it’s nothing to do with winning the jackpot. It’s literally about making a loss. So if you pay in a pound on a game that has a 95 percent RTP, you should win 95p of that pound back.
Ideally, you should look for games with an RTP of over 97 percent, and focus on those rather than anything with an RTP of less than 96 percent.
RNG (Random Number Generator)
The RNG (random number generator) is not to be confused with the RTP, despite the fact that the acronyms are similar. The RNG is the system on which every single slot game works, offline and online, and it is what makes it impossible to predict which game is going to pay out and when. It works, as the name suggests, by ensuring completely random spins so the reels cannot be cheated.
A computer creates a randomised sequence of numbers. Each one of those numbers is linked to a symbol on the reels. So once the reels spin and the sequence is generated, that is the result that will appear. There are infinite combinations, so any attempt at cheating is worthless.
Paylines
Knowing what a payline is won’t make it easier to win and it won’t give you more chances of doing so, but it could enhance the game and it might give you an insight into working out how much you want to pay per line. In simple terms, the payline is a line of winning symbols.
At the start, slots had just one payline, usually running across the middle of the reels. As time has gone on, today’s slots will have many more paylines, sometimes in the hundreds of thousands. So you might not be able to watch each and everyone and see yourself win before all the lights and sounds go off to tell you, but that’s not such a problem. What you can do is work out how much you want to pay per line, and how many lines you want to use.
