WHAT ARE SLOT GAMES? IF YOU’RE NOT SURE WE’RE HERE TO HELP!
In 1891, Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn developed a gaming machine that was the precursor
to the modern slot machine. It was based on the game of poker, and immediately became
incredibly popular. These machines soon began to make their way into most American
bars. The original “one-armed bandit” was invented in 1887 by Charles
Fey of California. Yet another early slot machine paid out the winner
in the form of fruit-flavoured gums, with pictures of the flavours represented as
symbols on the reels! The modern day ‘fruit’ symbols, that have proved
so popular, were derived from these machines. Don’t worry; you can expect
a lot more than gum when you play slots at Fortune Lounge!

The Cherry On Top - Progressive Jackpots
Simply Spinning: 3-Reel Slots are
the old-style slots with the ‘bar and cherries’ popular with the more
conservative player. You guessed it! As the name suggests these games only have
three reels. The magic is in their simplicity!
The ‘Reel’ Deal: Bonus Video Slots
are slot machines that have a bonus feature/s. If you’re the kind of player
who wants to flirt with fortune in style, video slots are for you! They have more
than three reels and are characterised by imaginative themes, superior animation
and graphical entertainment. The objective is to spin the reels so that the symbols
form winning combinations on the payline. The payout is dependent on the winning
combination formed. You must bet the maximum number of coins per spin to qualify
to play the Bonus Feature. These games offer many thrills per minute, so strap yourself
in for the ride of your life.
Bonus slot games have several spinning wheels marked with
symbols. Each time the ‘spin’ button is pressed; these wheels spin and
come to rest with a random selection of symbols. You will earn credits by hitting
a winning combination on a payline. Depending on the slot, there can be various
numbers of play lines.
You will be paid out according to the PAYOUT SCHEDULE
of the particular slot game you are playing. A payout schedule is a table illustrating
what combinations of reel symbols are valid winning combinations and how much they
pay out. Winnings are paid out on the highest combination of each enabled payline
only. That means if a winning combination appears on a payline that you
have not enabled (wagered for) you will not receive the payout for that particular
combination. The more coins you wager, the more paylines are enabled. So make sure
you’ve familiarised yourself with this important info to avoid disappointment.
The Cherry on Top - Progressive Jackpots.
Progressive Jackpots are the perfect way to boost your bankroll, because they are
the highest payoff games around. These games have a great payout rate that is separate
from the jackpot. The jackpot is merely the cherry on top. A progressive Jackpot
usually has a jackpot that builds as more people play.
Progressive slot games pay out massive cumulative jackpots. Some examples of progressive
jackpots at Fortune Lounge include: Major Millions, Cash Splash, Fruit Fiesta, Lotsaloot,
Treasure Nile and Wowpot, King Cashalot, Mega Moolah.
