Types of Online Slots
Not all slots are the same, so you’ll never run out of fun online casino games to play! Here are the main types of games you’ll find at JackpotCity.
- Classic: Classic slots are the most basic version of the game, often with only a few paylines and no bonuses or special features.
- Video: Video slots work in a similar way to classic slots, but offer more ways to win with extra paylines, special features and symbols, and more.
- Progressive: When playing progressive jackpot games, each bet players make adds to the jackpot or jackpots.
- Tournaments: In a slot tournament, players compete against one another to see who can win the most in a set amount of time.
Not sure what game to choose? Here are some of our most popular slot games:
- Mega Moolah: a progressive jackpot slot game
- Thunderstruck II: a smash-hit release
- 9 Masks of Fire™: a 5-reel video slot

Cracking the Terminology
If you’re new to the world of online slots, you should familiarize yourself with some of the terms used to describe different games. These will help you understand your chances of winning and help you choose a game with the features you enjoy.
- RTP/Payout Percentage: The RTP (return to player) or payout percentage refers to the statistical percentage of money bet that gets paid back to the player (similar to the house edge in a land-based casino).
- Paylines: Every slot has a certain number of defined paylines that win when a combination of symbols lands on them. There can be anywhere from 10 up to several hundred.
- Scatters: Scatter symbols generally pay in any position when they land on the reels—you don’t need to fill a whole payline with symbols in order to win. Sometimes scatters will trigger a free spins round or a jackpot, depending on the slot you’re playing.
- Payout: The payout is simply the amount you win when you play. The maximum payout is the highest amount you can win when you place the maximum bet, giving you an idea of the winning potential of a particular game.
- Multiplier: Some games include special multipliers, which can boost your winnings when they’re activated. For example, if you win $5 with a 3x multiplier, you’ll get $15.
- Free Spins: A free spins round is a special feature included in many slot games. When triggered, the player will be awarded a certain number of “free” spins, meaning they don’t have to make a bet amount but can still win on paylines and scatters.
Beyond these basic features, you may also find special features like the ones below that make gameplay even more fun:
- Jackpots: Jackpots are the big prizes you can win in some slots. The mechanics for jackpot games differ by game, so be sure to check the game instructions when you play something new.
- Megaways™: Megaways™ slots have a ton of paylines to give you even more chances to win (over 100,000 ways).
- Rolling Reels™: This is a special feature in some Microgaming slots. After a match pays, the winning symbols will disappear and new ones will fall into place without you having to spin the reel again, giving you multiple chances to win on a single spin.
- Wilds: Most games have a wild symbol, which can substitute for other symbols to complete matches.
- 243 Ways: In slots with 243 ways to win, any 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels will provide a win. The number refers to the amount of paylines.
Now that you know all the basics, you’ll be more informed when you choose a game. At JackpotCity, we have lots—so you can find one that includes the features you enjoy. Here’s how:
- To find a new slot, simply visit the slots section of our website or mobile slots site. You’ll find categories for different themes, mechanics, and game types (like progressive jackpot games or video slots).
- Once you launch the game, head to the game menu to read the rules. This will tell you all you need to know about the paylines, coin sizes, default bet sizes, symbols, and more.
- While you’re in the menu, set the bet size to an amount you’re comfortable with. Different games have different allowed ranges, from just a few pennies up to multiple dollars. (You also have the choice to play for free, without gambling, but signing up for a free account.)
- Finally, no matter what you’re playing, always game responsibly! If you ever need help taking a break, JackpotCity offers various options for self-exclusion and locking your account.
Slot Rules
Each online slot has its own unique rules, which you can find in the game menu. Here are the main things to check for when you’re playing a game for the first time:
- Coin values: Each game has different allowed coin values, often from a few pennies to multiple dollars. You can customize the coin value and your bet size to determine how much you gamble on each turn.
- Symbols: The symbols for a game are usually part of a theme, with some high-ranking symbols and some lower ones (you’ll generally find a summary of the values in the game’s paytable).
- Special feature rules: Some slots have new and different features that might be new to you even if you’re an experienced player. Check through the game menu to read more about how different features get triggered.
