FIG. 7 is a drawing of a guessing game using mechanical slot reels, according to an embodiment.

Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

Embodiments of the invention relate to slot machine games, where a player typically places a wager, presses a button to spin the reels, the reels each stop at a random position. Payouts are then determined by comparing all paylines played to a predetermined set of winning combinations, and then the determined payouts, if any, are awarded to the player based on the wager. Additional features can augment the excitement of a player and may also result in increased action for the casino.

A slot machine bonus round (triggered by a triggering condition such as getting a predetermined combination on the reels on the initial spin) will allow a player to play a color (or other indicia) picking game can be presented to the player as a bonus round.

A player can be presented with a plurality of doors (e.g., 5) and behind each door is a colored object (e.g., a ball), each colored object being of a different color. The goal is for the player to guess which color is behind each door. The colored balls behind each door can be determined randomly. For example, five doors can be presented: 12345. And five colors: red, orange, green, blue, indigo. In this example, the computer has selected door 1=red, door 2=indigo, door 3=blue, door 4=green, and door 5=orange, but this information is not displayed to the player.

The player can touch each color and then touch a door in order to guess which color goes with which door. If the player guesses right on the first try, the player can win a highest award (or award chosen by a formula that has the highest expected value).

If the player gets some correct, the ones the player got right can be locked into place and the player can have another guess. For example, in the above example, if the player guesses door 1=red, door 2=orange, door 3=green, door 4=blue, and door 5=indigo, then the player has gotten door 1 correct but the other doors incorrect. Thus, the player can be offered another guess, while the red ball is locked on the first door (in other words, the player got door 1 correct and so now the player does not need to guess for door 1 again and the player also knows the other doors cannot be red)

The player now makes the following guess: door 2=blue, door 3=green, door 4=indigo, door 5=orange. The slot machine determines (by comparing the guesses with the randomly determines order) that the player has guessed correctly for door 5. Thus, door 5 now reflects the orange color as the correct guess, and the player now guesses a third time: door 2=blue, door 3=indigo, door 4=green. Of course, the player has guessed foolishly here because the player had already guessed blue for door 2 which was indicated to be incorrect.

The slot machine determines that the player has guessed correctly for door 4, which is reflected in the display.

The player now makes a fourth guess and guesses (actually not guesses but deduces) that door 2=indigo and door 3=blue. The player has now solved the puzzle after four guesses. A paytable can be used such as the one that follows in Table I in order to determine the payouts based on a number of guesses it took the player:

TABLE I
# of guessespayscale Apayscale B
1$100$80 + RND ($40)
2$80$53 + RND (30)
3$25$25 + RND (10)
4 or more$10$RND (15).

Table I illustrates two payscales, A and B (either can be used, and of course these are merely examples). If the player guesses on the first try, the player can win $100 in payscale A. If payscale B is being used, then the payer wins $80+a random number from (1-40) (e.g., $80+$13=$93).

In a further embodiment, the player can be presented with a hint as to the locations of the colors. One or more (e.g., 2, 3, etc.) colored balls can already be presented by their respective door in order to make the player's task easier. For example, out of the five doors, the slot game can immediately present that door 1=red so that the player really only has to guess four colors/doors instead of five. The player may be presented with the option to take a hint, at the expense of reducing the awards that can be earned when the bonus round is over.

FIG. 1A illustrates an exemplary output of a first stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

Five elements (doors, boxes, icons, can be anything) 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 are displayed. Five attributes that can be assigned to the elements (e.g., colors, shapes, etc.) 110, 112, 114, 116, 118. The attributes are randomly shuffled and one attribute is assigned to each element respectively, although the assignments are not displayed (kept hidden) from the player. For example, a colored ball is hidden behind each door.

FIG. 1B illustrates an exemplary output of a second stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment. In the second stage, the player makes a guess as to each element's respective hidden attribute.

For example, the first door 130 can be assigned a guess of red by the player first touching the red attribute 110 and then touching the first door 130. In this manner, all five (or however many number of elements are being used) can each be assigned an attribute. Typically, all elements must be assigned (guessed) an attribute before the player can proceed.

A row of attributes (colors) is displayed 120, 122, 124, 126, 128. The player can assign a color to an element by touching an attribute (color) in the row and then touching a particular element (door). In FIG. 1B, the player can make his or her guess by assigning attributes (in this case colors) to elements (in this case doors 130, 132, 134, 136, 138).

The player can press a “go” button 150 when the player is done assigning attributes to elements to indicate that the player's guess is ready. Once the player pressed the “go” button, the bonus round will evaluate the player's guess.

FIG. 2A illustrates an exemplary output of a third stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

In FIG. 2A, the bonus round has evaluated the player's guess (from FIG. 1B), and outputs the evaluation. In this case, the player had guessed the first door 130 correctly (red), while guessing the remaining doors (132, 134, 136, 138) incorrectly.

FIG. 2B illustrates an exemplary output of a fourth stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

In this fourth stage, the player guesses again. The player already knows the first element (door) 130 is correct and that the color red has already been assigned, so the player's task is now to assign the remaining doors 132, 134, 136, 138 to their respective attributes (colors).

The remaining attributes (122, 124, 126, 128) that were not correctly assigned on prior guesses are available to the player to assign to the remaining doors. In this example the player assigned black to the second door 132, green to the third door 134, blue to the fourth door 136, and white to the fifth door 138.

The player can again press the go button 150 once his or her selections are complete so that the bonus round can evaluate the player's selections.

FIG. 3A illustrates an exemplary output of a fifth stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

Based on the player's guess in guess number two (from FIG. 2B), the player has guessed two more doors correctly (door 4136 and door 5138). Thus, there are only two remaining doors (132, 134) that have not been correctly assigned. The player should now know which colors to assign these doors (since the correct answer must be the opposite of the player's prior incorrect assignments of these two doors).

FIG. 3B illustrates an exemplary output of a sixth stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

Here the player assigns the two remaining incorrect doors (132, 134) the colors of green, black, respectively.

FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary output of a seventh stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

The result of the prior (third guess) from FIG. 3B is displayed, which shows that all of the doors have been assigned their correct respective attribute (the player guessed correctly in its entirety). Once the player guesses all of the elements correctly, then the bonus round ends and the award can be determined.

FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary output of an eighth stage of a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

All lines are fixed, so the participant needs to bet using the Line / Bet button. In this case, the corresponding inscription and golden coins appear on the screen.Now let’s look at the control panel which is understandable and convenient. Sphinx casino slot machine. You can see them only during the big wins. Start the game with a large round button.

The award is displayed. The $25 award displayed is awarded to the player and is based on a number of guesses that the player took to reach the end of the bonus round. In this case, the player took three guesses. Had the player took two guesses, the award would typically be higher (e.g., $50), and if the player took only one guess, the award would be highest (e.g., $100). If the player took more than three guesses, the award would typically be lower (e.g., $10).

FIG. 5 is an exemplary flowchart of a method to implement a bonus round, according to an embodiment.

The method can begin with operation 500, which assigns attributes randomly to elements. For example, there can be ten (or any number) of boxes and ten (an equal number) of balls of different colors (with or without replacement, depending on the embodiment), and each ball can be assigned a particular box. The assignments are not displayed to the player, as it is the goal for the player to guess the assignments.

From operation 500, the method proceeds to operation 502, which receives a guess from the player. The player associates an attribute (color) with each element (box) by using a touch screen, mouse, keyboard, etc. Once all of the elements have been assigned a color by the player, the player can then prompt the machine to proceed to operation 504.

In operation 504, the computer (electronic gaming device) implementing the bonus round will determine which of the elements have a correct attribute (from the player's guess in operation 502). The correct guessed elements can be displayed to the player (now or at a later operation, such as operations 508 or 510).

From operation 504, the method can proceed to operation 506, which determines whether all of the elements have been guessed correctly (assigned to their respective attributes originally determined in operation 500). If the last player's guess isn't entirely correct (all of the elements were correctly assigned by the player to their respective original attributes), then the method can proceed to operation 508, which displays to the player which elements were correctly guessed. From operation 508, the method can then return to operation 502, which receives another guess from the player. The process can continue iteratively until the player's entire guess is correct.

In operation 506, if it is determined that the player's entire guess is correct (every element was properly assigned by the player to its respective original attribute from operation 500), then the method can proceed to operation 510, which determines an award based on the number of guesses the player took (the number of times operation 502 was performed). This can be determined using a paytable, such as illustrated in Table I.

From operation 510, the method can proceed to operation 512, which actually dispenses the award to the player (paying the player coins or credits, etc.) From either operation 508 or 512, the bonus round is now over. A brand new slot game can now be played.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of one example of hardware that can be used to implement the method, according to an embodiment.

A processing unit 600 (which can comprise a microprocessor and related components) can be connected to an output unit 602 (e.g., LCD or touch screen, etc.), an input unit 604 (e.g. a touch screen, keyboard, buttons, etc.), a network connection 606 (e.g. connection to a casino server or the Internet or other communication network), a ROM 608, a RAM 610, and any other hardware known in the art needed to implemented a digital version of the game (not pictured). The game can also be served to a remote client playing at an online casino over a computer communications network (such as the internet). A money collection unit 612 can be used to receive cash (e.g., a bill acceptor), or other payment from such as electronic payment and credit. A storage unit 614 can be a CD-ROM drive, a DVD-ROM drive, or any device that can read a computer readable storage medium. A CD-ROM 616 (or any other type of computer readable storage medium) can be read by the storage unit 614 and can contain data, assets, programs, etc., in order to implement the methods described herein on an electronic gaming machine such as the one illustrated in FIG. 6.

The methods described herein can be implemented on an electronic gaming device using a video output display, or alternatively can be implemented on a mechanical slot machine which uses physical reels. The user can manipulate the reels in order to make his or her guess as to which symbols comprise the player's guess. Thus, all of the methods described herein can be applied to a mechanical slot machine.

FIG. 7 is a drawing of a guessing game using mechanical slot reels, according to an embodiment.

First state slot machine 700 comprises parts of a mechanical slot machine in an initial state. A first reel 702, second reel 704, and third reel 706 each have a respective up/down button 714, 716, 718. The up/down buttons are used to turn each respective slot machine reel up or down. A go button 720 is pressed by the player when the player has finished selecting the symbols for each reel so that the machine can make the comparison.

The slot machine will select random symbols in the center of each of the second set of reels (comprising second set first reel 708, second set second reel 710, and second set third reel 712). These reels are hidden from view (e.g., by a mechanical door so that the player cannot see which symbols are behind each of the second set of reels).

The player uses the up/down buttons to adjust their respective reel to the center symbol that the player wishes to select. For example, the first up/down button 702 is used to control the first reel 702, the second up/down button 716 is used to control the second reel 704, and the third up/down button 718 is used to control the third reel 708. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the player has selected the cherry symbol for the first reel, the bar symbol for the second reel, and the bell symbol for the third reel. Thus, the player's guess at which symbols appear in the center on the second set of reels is: cherry/bar/bell. The player then presses the go button 720 in order to initiate to indicate the player is done guessing and hence initiates the machine to analyze the player's guess.

Second state slot machine 730 shows the first state slot machine 710 advanced into a further state after the player has made his or her guess and pressed the go button 720. It turns out that only the first reel 702 had the correct symbol, thus the second set first reel 708 opens to show the player that that reel has been guessed correctly. Thus, the first reel 702 corresponds to the second set first reel 708, while the second reel 704 corresponds to the second set second reel 710, while the third reel 706 corresponds to the second set third reel 712. Since the (center symbol) of the second set second reel 710 is not a bar, and the (center symbol) of the second set third reel 712 is not a bell, these reels were not guessed correctly by the player and remain closed.

The player now adjusts the second reel 704 and the third reel 706 (using the up/down buttons) in order to make another guess. Third state slot machine 740 is the second state slot machine 730 now in a subsequent third state. The player has changed the second reel 704 and the third reel 706 to different symbols in order to guess again. The player presses the go button, upon which the second set second reel 710 now opens to indicate that the player's guess using the second reel 704 is correct (since the second set second reel 710 center symbol matches the center symbol of the second reel 704). Thus, the player has now guessed two symbols correctly, and the third reel 706 is the only remaining symbol that the player has not yet guessed correctly.

Fourth state slot machine 750 is the third state slot machine 740 now in a subsequent fourth state. The player has adjusts the third reel 706 to select the ‘7’ symbol as the player's guess for the corresponding symbol in the second set third reel 712. After the player presses the go button, the machine analyzes the player's guess to determine all of the matches (between the first reel 702 and the corresponding second set first reel 708, the second reel 704 and the corresponding second set second reel 710, and the third reel 706 and the corresponding second set third reel 712). It turns out that the player has guessed correctly on the third reel 706, as all of the second set of reels now match the first set of reels (reel 702, reel 704, and reel 706), and the player has successfully completed the bonus round by guessing all of the symbols correctly.

Thus, in this example, the player took three guesses in order to guess the symbols correctly. As described herein, the number of guesses is used to determine the player's award.

It is noted that a mechanical slot machine can implement a guessing game in other configurations as well besides the one illustrated in FIG. 7. For example, the second reel set can be optional. Instead of using the second reel set, only one reel set can be used (the first reel set as illustrated in FIG. 7). If the player has guessed right in a reel in the first reel set, then a light (or other indicator) indicates a correct guess. Thus, the player would continue to manipulate reels that have incorrect guesses (symbols) and keep choosing symbols and guessing again until the player achieves an entirely correct guess (all reels were guessed with the proper symbols). Thus, this is similar as the embodiment described above (and illustrated in FIG. 7), but there is no second set of reels, and each reel in the first reel set will have an indicator indicating of that reel was guessed properly.

Where To Play Online Slots?

Free Slot Machines

But this isn’t the only site that hosts free slot machines. Thousands of sites host a free version of some of the most popular titles in the world. In fact, if there’s a slot you played at a casino that you’d like to revisit, a simple web search would likely pull up the free version.

You can play free slots via your desktop or mobile browser. These streaming versions of the game require nothing more than a click, and you can start playing. Another option is to play free slots apps, and many exist in both Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store for Android.

Another good reason is to practice on the free version and take what you learn to the paid version. The goal is to get more wins or improve your Return to Player (RTP).

Legal Online Casinos

Legal online casinos with paid slots only exist in a few US states:

  • Delaware

After recent changes in legislation, online casinos will soon launch in Michigan. If you’re not physically located in one of those states, playing real-money online slots is technically breaking the law. At the very least, the online casino operators are violating the law by offering their games to people in the state.

However, the consistent introduction of online gambling legislation in states across the country means that list may grow beyond these five states in the future.

In states where online casinos are legal, you can deposit money, bet on the slots, and withdraw any winnings. Like the brick-and-mortar casinos, the most popular slots at the online casinos have progressive jackpots, which can grow to over a million dollars.

You can also play any of the slots at online casinos for free in “demo mode,” where you’re using practice credits instead of real money. You can often do this before you even create an account.

Sweepstakes Casinos – Slots For Cash Prizes

In all of the US except for the State of Washington, you can legally play at sweepstakes casinos, a category of social gaming that also includes online poker and sports picks. This is a great option in states like California, Florida, and Texas, where real money online casinos are prohibited.

The two main sweepstakes casinos are Chumba Casino and LuckyLand. Both offer a large selection of slots that you can play for two different types of currencies: Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins.

Gold Coins are used simply for fun and can’t be redeemed for a cash prize or gift card. However, you can also play in Sweeps Coins. Any Sweeps Coins that you win can be redeemed for cash prizes or gift cards. You just need to have the minimum number of won Sweeps Coins before you can redeem.

To receive Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins, no purchase is required. Once you join, you’re given both types of coins for free to play with. You can also purchase additional Gold Coins. Some Gold Coin packages of include Sweeps Coins.

How To Play Slots For Fun Online

Playing free online slots is the same as playing paid online slots, minus the need to deposit any money or even create an account. That’s why playing slots for fun online is free in every US state, including the State of Washington.

Slot Machine Bonus Videos

You can play any type of slot for free. This includes classic three-reel slots as well as 3D five-reel slots with immersive bonus games and other special features.

The gameplay, including the odds of winning, is the exact same between the free slots and the paid slots. However, if the slot normally has a progressive jackpot, that will be absent from the free version.

Do you need to sign up or deposit to play free online slots?

No. And, in most cases, there’s no way to create an account much less make a deposit.

However, some land-based casino websites, which do offer player accounts, have free online slots on their website. This came into even more prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can you win playing free online slots?

Yes. Just like in the paid version, you can win without limits on the free online slots. But what you win is additional freeplay credits, and refreshing the web browser will reset your bankroll.

How Do Slots Work?

Slots are by far the most popular casino game for a few key reasons:

  • Huge winning potential
  • The option to play for low or high stakes
  • The gameplay is extremely simple

Once you know the basics of slots, you’ll be able to play any type that you’ll come across. While each title can seem wildly different, they all work in fundamentally the same way.

The object of a slot machine is for a winning combination of symbols to appear when the reels stop. This is true whether it’s a three-reel or a five-reel slot.

Setting Paylines

A winning combination of symbols is based on paylines that run across the reels. A slot can have as few as five paylines or over a hundred.

Usually, the symbol combinations are left to right across the paylines, and each payline can win independently. That means the more paylines you play, the higher your chances of scoring a payout.

In slots, wins are multipliers, not set amounts. So if you’re playing a slot with 25 paylines and your total wager is $5.00, each payline would have a value of $0.20. If one scored a 100x multiplier, you’d win $20.

To play all paylines for the highest possible value, you can select “Max Bet.”

Should You Always Do Max Bet?

No. You should always play with however much you’re able to lose.

(2) RCW 9.46.231 shall have no application to any antique slot machine that has not been operated for gambling purposes while in the owner's possession. (3) For the purposes of this section, a slot machine shall be conclusively presumed to be an antique slot machine. Wa state old slot machine. Used Slot Machines For Sale in Seattle on YP.com.

However, playing max bet does two things: gives you the best chance of winning the highest possible prizes.

Further, you may need to play Max Bet to qualify for certain prizes, including the progressive jackpot. Check the rules of the specific slot to make sure.

Slot Payback (AKA Return to Player)

A slot’s payback is how much a player can expect to keep of their bankroll based on the average net wins. This is also known as Return to Player (RTP). A high slot payback is 90% or higher, and a low slot payback is 70%.

No slot has an average lifetime payback that’s equal to or greater than 100%. However, some players seek out the games with the highest RTP to ensure the highest chances of regular wins. Others prefer the longshot slots, which have the lowest RTP but normally the highest potential prizes.

Bonus Features

A slot’s biggest selling point aside from the jackpot, RTP, and overall theme are the bonus features. These are usually triggered when three or more “scatter” symbols appear on the reels. You then have the opportunity to win more money, either through free spins, a minigame, or selecting a hidden prize.

Wild Symbols

The Wild symbol usually best matches the theme of the game. For example, Cleopatra is the Wild symbol in the Cleopatra slot.

Wild symbols can take the place of any other symbol aside from the scatter (and possibly other specialty symbols) to create winning combinations. Five wild symbols will often trigger the top prize fixed jackpot.

Progressive Jackpot Slots

When a slot has a progressive jackpot, it means a portion of every bet placed by everyone playing the slot contributes to a running total. The total progressive jackpot continues to increase as people play until it’s won by a lucky player, then it’s reset and starts again.

How to win a progressive jackpot depends on the slot. In some cases, it’s simply randomly awarded at the end of a spin, and you may need to “Bet Max” to qualify. Others will involve a bonus game.

Different Types Of Slot Machines

Because slots are always innovating, it’s difficult to create a list of the different types. Instead, let’s look at the key factors that separate one slot from another.

Number Of Reels

Three-reel slots are usually the simplest, where one payline runs across a maximum of three symbols.

Five-reel slots are the most common and can range from a handful of paylines to 743 All-Ways-Pays slots, which covers every possible combination of symbols going up and down and left to right across the reels.

Four-reel, six-reel, seven-reel, and other slots are pretty much nonexistent in physical casinos but you can find some online relatively easily.

Video Vs. 3D Slots

Video slots are the most common form of five-reel slots and often feature bonus and free spin features. 3D slots are the same, except they use 3D animation and graphics whereas video slots use 2D.

Denominations

Penny slots earned their name by allowing players to bet with just $0.01. But some slots can cost a minimum of $1.00 per spin, and betting the max can make your overall wager climb to as high as $125 or more.

Volatility

When a slot is labeled low volatility, it means it pays out low wins regularly. When it’s labeled high volatility, it means you’ll often go for several spins without winning, but the winning streaks are often larger when they do come.

Coin Play Vs. Paylines

Coin play means you’re simply setting the coin value that applies to the multiplier wins. Some variations, called Buy-Your-Pay Slots, won’t allow you to win certain amounts or activate certain features unless you increase your coin value.

Sound

Paylines are either fixed or variable. For both, you set the value of each individual payline, and multiplier wins apply to that payline. But with variable paylines, you can set the number of lines you want to play as well as their value. With fixed paylines, you automatically play all of them.

How To Play Slot Machines

Brick-And-Mortar Casinos

The most common place to play slots is at a land-based casino. In most states, casinos are either commercially operated or tribal-owned and located on Native American lands.

The ten states that do not have any land-based casinos are:

  • Alaska
  • Hawaii
  • Georgia
  • Utah
  • Nebraska
  • Kentucky
  • South Carolina
  • Virginia
  • Vermont

The highest concentration of casinos and slot machines in the United States can be found in Las Vegas, Nevada. And not only that, it’s also where you can find the largest jackpots of all time. In fact, the top six biggest casino wins ever were all on Vegas slots.

Another major hotspot is Atlantic City, New Jersey, where several casinos operate in close proximity. But if you live in the continental United States, there’s a good chance that there’s a casino with over a hundred slot machines within driving distance.

Why are slots the most popular game at the casino?

Slots can make up 75% or more of a casino’s total gambling revenue. That means the rest comes from all table games and poker tables combined. Why? Because slots are fun, attractive, and can turn relatively low wagers into multi-million-dollar payouts.

The Most Popular Slots Offer The Highest Payouts

It should come as no surprise that the easiest way to get people to play a slot is by offering an enormous potential jackpot.

Enter the slots area of a Las Vegas casino, and you’ll find dozens of options with a top prize that can be well into the millions. All it takes is one single spin to win it all. That’s hard to resist.

So it’s no wonder that the progressive jackpots are the most popular. The most talked-about usually is.
