Slot machines are the most popular games at online casinos. That is also true of Las Vegas casinos. Many casino players enjoy the thought of winning a big jackpot just by pushing the button. There are many ways that slots online are just like the ones found in Las Vegas. There are also some differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can play free slots online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best feature of online slots is that you can play for free. You can\u2019t do that at a Las Vegas casino<\/a>. Online casinos<\/a> have the entire slot library available for players to enjoy without making an account. No deposit is required. Casinos online do this to allow players to get a feel for the software. The progressive jackpots are not available in free-play mode. That requires a real money deposit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las Vegas casinos do not have free play slot machines, except during a tournament that usually requires previous action for an invitation. Slot machines require cash to activate. There is no trying it out first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online slots have a higher payback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Las Vegas slot machines tend to return 90 percent or less at the penny denomination. This only improves slightly as the player moves up in limits. Online casinos typically return 93 to 95 percent. Many casinos post their return-to-player percentages in the game\u2019s help files. There are no Las Vegas casinos that do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily move from one slot game to another at an online casino <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a Las Vegas casino, most slot machines only offer one game. The only option is usually the denomination played. That is not the case at online casinos with slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online casinos offer hundreds of slot titles. All may be played on the same device, whether that is your phone, tablet, or computer. The Mac, PC, Android, and iOS platforms have the entire game library. You may easily switch from one slot game to another by clicking a few buttons. If you don\u2019t like the slot you chose, simply try a different one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online slots may be played anywhere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To play slots in a casino, you must drive or fly there. This takes hours of time and expenses on gas and airline tickets. There are no travel expenses involved with playing slot machines at an online casino. The games are available in your home or while you are out. If there is an internet connection, you can get into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slot clubs are usually better at online casinos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some Las Vegas casinos give players $5, $10, and maybe even $20 to join their slot clubs. Online casinos offer much better deals than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New players at an online casino receive first deposit bonuses. The amount can be in the thousands of dollars. The largest we know of is 100% up to $3750. The wagering requirement at slots is lower than in any other online casino game. In some cases, it is over 5%. It is always more than 1%. Combine this with the higher slot returns at online casinos, and it is easy to see why those slot clubs are better than the ones in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online casinos also have promotions tied to your play. You may receive free slot play and bonuses for your action. Las Vegas casinos do the same, though promotions tend to be more related to food, drinks, and hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying into a slot game is different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At a Las Vegas casino, you must have cash to play. This can create fees for cash advances and ATM withdrawals. At an online casino, you do not need cash. You can transfer money from a variety of electronic wallets. You can also use crypto like Bitcoin and Ethereum. No Las Vegas casinos accept crypto.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larger slot selection at online casinos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Online casinos do not need to make room for physical slot machines. The online slot library takes up no space other than part of a server\u2019s hard drive. This means older titles remain longer than at live casinos. If you enjoy an online slot, it is unlikely to disappear to make room for new ones. The latest titles are added to the existing game library as there is no concern about which game needs to be removed to make space for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easily take a break from the game<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you need to take a bathroom or food break in the casino, you risk losing your favorite machine while away. That is not a problem at online casinos. You can take a break for minutes, hours, days, or longer. Your favorite game will be there when you return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video poker is a form of slots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Video poker is considered a slot in Las Vegas and other casinos. There are advantages to playing online video poker over going to a casino. We cover that in a different article. Read more about online video poker here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
