How Do Slot Machines Work for Beginners?

Question

Can someone explain how slot machines work for a complete beginner?

Answer 1

Slot machines are gambling devices where you insert money and then press buttons to bet and spin reels. The goal is to get matching symbols on the payline to win. Modern slot machines use credits instead of coins, and winnings are paid out according to a pay table that shows the value of each symbol combination. Some machines have multiple paylines or special features like bonuses. It's important to check the denomination of the machine to know the value of each credit and to use the 'game rules' or 'help' function if you're unsure about payouts or features.

Good job, Neil. I've been playing slots for years and had forgotten how scary it was when I first started. Also, your beginner's tutorital has alot of good information and your presentation was very clear, easy to understand, and easy to follow. Lastly, that lucky lady found the right person to sit next to and ask for help!

I'm not an idiot but slots always seemed intimidating.  Thanks for taking the time to explain the basics, very helpful to understand what I'm looking at!

My husband and I will be going to Vegas next month for our anniversary. We don’t plan on doing much gambling but want to play a little for fun. Now we at least have the basics down. Thank you.

Heading to the casino for the first time tomorrow and had so much anxiety. Thank you very much for making this awesome how to video so I have time to process all the new stuff.

---

Thanks so much! Going to Vegas for the first time this year and needed to know these things!

---

I know all this, but watched any way.  Good job on the tutorial.

---

Good video thanks. I know how slots generally work but I’m terrible at explaining it to other people. I get asked a lot about slots where I’m at. Because of your video, I’ll be better able to explain it.

New to slots.  In the UK and play on mobile casino. Only bingo    The slots eat money so quickly and when you don’t know how   Like me !!!    But this video is very clear and helpful for beginners.  Can’t say how clear it   is.
Big Thanks.


  Thanks.

I've only played the slots once and I really didn't understand it too much . This video really helped me to understand it better . Thanks  for making this video .

---

I love that you did this. Such a great idea to make a video based on your personal experience in Las Vegas. Keep up the good work

---

Thanks. I went to the casino for the first time with a friend and she taught me how to play on the more expensive machines and I won $100. Then years later I went with my sister and I couldn't remember how it worked, with the betting and how many lines and that when it seemed so simple before. So we mostly stuck to the simpler penny slots. When we gave the other ones a try our money was gone so fast because we were just pushing buttons not really knowing what we were doing and the instructions didn't help. So this really helps for our next trip to the casino.

Now I understand why I don't see the Lines. There aren't any! Now I know what the "Extra" Reels are.  Thank you for doing this. It's the 2nd time I have watched. I think the end of January will be going back to play.

i’m at vegas right now and i’ve been so scared to try the slots, about to go down and attempt to play, thanks ! :)

Thank you so much. I’m going to Vegas next month and never played slot game in my life . I learned a lot !

My wife and I are coming to Vegas for the first time and we've never been to a casino. We appreciate the excellent tutorial! New subsciber here. Have great day.

This helped a lot. I am going to Vegas next week it’s my first time going there and first time I will try to play slot machines

---

Thank you Neily for the very helpful video! I'm here in Vegas for a short 1-day stop and was honestly feeling overwhelmed to try out the slot machines since they didn't made any sense to me. Now they do, and I'm just gonna step out and get rollin' :) Wish me luck!

---

Good you did this. I never understood the "newer" slot machines before, so I'd only the traditional machines that had 777s. Then I started watching YouTube videos to help me understand.  Now I need to learn how to win more than I lose!  BTW, if only I can put in $5 in Dragon Link and cash out at 10x on a 50 cents bet!

---

Thank you for this! I played for the first time yesterday and it's amazing how many players have no idea what they're doing or why.

---

Thank you, I’m one of those that also just jumps on a slot and not know what to do. Very helpful

---

Thank you for this very easy to understand. I’m planning to play for my first time this week and this helped a lot.

---

I was so lost the first time I sat at a machine a couple months ago  This was helpful!

---

Thank you for this informative video. I am heading to Atlantic City tomorrow my first time ever going to a casino!

---

"and that was a loser as well, unfortunately that happens a lot on slot machines"

---

i suppose it’s not really that i don’t understand how to play but rather that some of the machines have gotten so obnoxious with bright colors and animations it makes it confusing

---

Vegas is full of beginners... some people (tourists) don't have as easy access gambling as others do. Especially slots.

---

Thanks Neil.I see other people playing them and I just didn't have the confidence to actually get on one.

---
