Once you learn what all the buttons do and how to read the payout tables you should be able to play any game without any trouble. Always remember though that the way you play has no outcome on the reels or the payout percentage. If you ever find a machine that you cannot figure out then ask the casino staff as they will always be happy to assist you.   The Buttons All video slots have a front area where there are a range of different buttons. All of these buttons have a different use or purpose. In general there are two rows of at least five buttons although this can range from between five and seven. The back row of buttons tend to be related to the amount of credits you want to bet per line. These go from the lowest on the left to the highest on the right. For example 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 credits per line. The back row buttons also often control the red / black gamble feature. The front row of buttons include the lines per spin, the bet max button, the cash collect button and in some cases a help button. The purpose of these buttons is explained in detail below. Lines Per Spin : These buttons control how many lines you are betting on per game Bet Max : This button automatically bets the maximum number of coins and starts the game Cash / Collect : Press this button to take your money out of the slot machine. Help / View Payouts : On some slots this lead to additional screens of game information   Read The Pay Table In general the pay table of a video slot machine can be in one of three places. On the top front of the game above the screen, on the lower panel below the screen or on the screen itself accessible via a view payouts or help button. Before you play you should take a minute or two to read all of the information on the payout table as it will contain information on the games payouts, the bonus features and betting requirements. If max bet is required for a jackpot the pay table will always indicate this so it is relatively easy to find out.   Step By Step Guide     Video Slot Diagram Step 1 : Read the pay out table Step 2 : Insert coins or bills Step 3 : Choose your credits per line Step 4 : Choose your lines per spin Step 5 : Start the reels spinning Step 6 : Win or lose Step 7 : Go back to step 5 Step 8 : Press Collect to take out your cash As you can see, playing slots is a very simple way of having some fun gambling at a casino and to have the chance at coming out a winner with little need for skill.
