Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or newly starting out, there is always something that you can learn when it comes to online slots. With new titles and features being released regularly, keeping up with trends could prove to be a rather daunting task. Thankfully, there are experts like us around. We’re always keeping our finger on the pulse when it comes to the world of online slots, in an attempt to bring you information on all there is to know about the industry. This time, however, we’re going back to basics – recapping some vital knowledge on paylines, coin values and bet sizes that you may have forgotten along the way.

Paylines

Another frequently used term for payline is a bet or winning line. This refers to a combination of symbols on the particular slot machine that results in a winning payout. Back in the day, slots only consisted of one payline, meaning that players would only win when three matching symbols appeared in a horizontal line. Today, most contemporary slots offer between 25 and 30 paylines, meaning players can land winning combinations vertically, horizontally, diagonally, and in many other forms – of course this improves your chances of landing a winning combination.

Coin Values

When playing an online slot, the coin value represents how much you would like to spend on each payline during the game.

Bet Sizes

When it comes to online slots, coin values and bet sizes are very often confused. When commencing most contemporary slots, you’ll be required to set the coin value (coin size and number of coins) you’d like to make use of, which will represent much you would like spend on a single payline. On average, the coin value will be multiplied by the number of paylines to give you the bet size. For example, when playing with 0.10 coins and wagering 5 coins per payline (on a 10-payline game) the bet size will amount to 5 credits per spin. Most modern slots feature flexible bet sizes which could start at anything from 5 credits, to a maximum of up to 200 credits per spin. Of course, the higher the bet size, the better the potential payout.
