| How Do Online Slots Work? |

Recommended Online Casinos |
In general you have to download free software to begin playing. You can then choose to play for free or for real money.
The free account option is a great way to get a large range of slots to play on your computer without spending any money. Some online casinos have over 200 slots!
The games work in exactly the same way as games you would find in any land-based casino - it is simply the delivery of the spin results that change.
When you hit spin in a casino the information goes straight to the computer inside the machine which then goes to the RNG and back to the reels to show the result.
Online, the spin message goes through the Internet to the casinos gaming server which then goes to the RNG and sends back the result to your computer. This all happens quite quickly although if you have a slow Internet connection there can be a delay.
