Many of the buttons and levers modern slot machines have are only decorative. Today's slots are the most popular casino games at top rated online casinos and provide a large share of the revenue from land-based casinos. According to statistics, 70% of online casino revenues and more than 80% of the revenues from land-based casinos are produced by slot machines.
Slot machine buttons and features
All slots are based on a random number generator, which means that these games are randomly generated and their results cannot be predicted. Players have a certain number of options to operate a slot machine. In principle, all slots, no matter how many rolls or pay lines they have, have the same options and control buttons:
1. Pay line indicators - specific indicators that tell which pay lines the player has activated when making a commitment. The player chooses the number of active pay lines by clicking on these indicators.
2. The winning line pays off - if a particular combination appears on the rolls, as indicated by the corresponding indicators or lines. For example, the player gets a payout when he has a combination of two symbols according to the first pay line. At least two identical symbols should appear one after the other in order to win, the first symbol having to be located on the first roller.
3. Number of lines - the player has to press the + / - button in the game menu to enable or to bet on a certain number of pay lines.
4. Balance - a special window that indicates the current status of the player (usually a number of coins) after every win or loss.
5. Pay lines - this button allows the player to set the coin size. The player can adjust the coin with the + / - button.
6. Use/gain - indicates the amount of the last use and the payment of a profit.
7. Payout table - this button allows the player to switch between the current game and the pay table with the different winning combinations and payouts.
8. Spin – a push of this button enables the gaming machine, which starts to spin the reels.
9. Max bet - a special button which allows the player to activate the maximum bet per total spin.
10. Wild – it can replace a symbol slot and the other symbols to achieve a winning combination (except the scatter symbol and the bonus). Wilds are sometimes referred to as substitute symbols.
11. Payments - the number of coins for each of the possible winning combinations. The total amount of profits is the number of coins to be multiplied by the coin size that was previously set by the player. 12. Prev - a button that allows the player from the pay table to switch back to the game.
13. Pay line patterns - straight or zigzag lines of slot symbols which represent the pay lines of the game.
14. Scatter - A special symbol used for achieving a winning combination, which facilitates a jackpot payout or provides special bonuses or multipliers.
The auto-play option allows the player to activate the automatic spins according to the current parameters.
Bet-One is used by the player if he wants the minimal use for the next spin. This option is the opposite of Max Bet.
Coins - the player has the opportunity to use several coins for each win.
The names of the buttons can be different if you play a slot machine in a land-based casino or with a reliable casino software. The Max Bet button, for example, can be Max Bet Credits (or 2 Credits, 3 Credits, etc.). The Bet One button is sometimes called Bet One Credit. Some of the levers also have slots instead of the spin button.

2. Select the number of lines you want to activate (with a Multi-line slot)
3. Select the coin size and make your bet
4. Press the Spin or Max Bet button to activate the slot
