Wednesday, November 25th, 2009Understanding Fruit Machines Casino Games
Fruit machines are a special kind of casino slot game. New players often avoid wagering on fruit machines for a variety of reasons. Fruit machines contain a number of features not found in other slot casino games. Familiarity with these features comes only with experience and new players hesitate to try a game they cannot fully understand. Very few fruit machines are offered at online casinos and new fruit machines are rarely added. Players have plenty of options to choose from in the normal slot games and therefore they give fruit machines a wide berth. However
if players spend some time in understanding fruit machines they will be highly rewarded. New players need not worry about losing money because they can always play for free till such time they understand the game completely. Fruit machines replicate online the slot machines that were found in English pubs. This article explains to new players some of the common features found in fruit machines. One of the features is Nudge. Nudge is randomly displayed below the reels. By clicking on Nudge below a particular reel
that reel moves one position down. Depending on the symbols displayed on the reels the player can judiciously choose which Nudge button to activate so as to make a winning combination. Sometimes players are allowed to use more than one Nudge button in the same spin making it even easier to make a winning combination. Another interesting feature is Hold. Like the Nudge feature it randomly appears below the reels. In this feature players can select one or two reels which are kept fixed and the remaining reels are spun again. This gives players a greater chance of arriving at a winning combination. The Cash Ladder is an integral part of fruit machines. Any win highlights the bottom step of the Cash Ladder. In order to climb up to the Cash Ladder players then have to play the Hi Lo gamble game. With each spin a number is displayed. In the Hi Lo gamble game the players spin again to reveal a new number. Before spinning
players have to guess whether the new number will be higher or lower than the existing one. If they guess correctly they move one step up on the Cash Ladder. If they guess incorrectly then they lose their wager. In the Cash Ladder players have three options. They can continue playing the Hi Lo gamble game till they lose or keep winning and reach the highest step for the jackpot prize. At any time on the cash ladder they can collect their winnings and start a fresh spin. Or they can exchange their winnings for the feature game that is displayed on the step at which they currently stand. Fruit machines employ a number of feature games on the Cash Ladder that are in consonance with the theme of the game. The highlight of fruit machines is the Feature Board. This is triggered by special symbols appearing on the reels. The Feature Board has squares along its perimeter in the same manner as the Monopoly board. When the player clicks the Start button a number is displayed and the player moves that many squares on the Feature Board. Each square on the Feature Board allows for one of the following actions. It can move the player up the Cash Ladder by a specified number of steps. It can add to or multiply the amount that the player is holding in the Cash Pot. It can activate one of the feature games after which the player automatically moves to the normal spins. In the worst case a square can terminate the players stay on the Feature Board. Because of the numerous features incorporated in them
fruit machines move away from the regular spins more often than the other slot games do. In this manner they alleviate the boredom that can be felt while playing the usual slot games. Related Articles The Classic Fruit Machine Slots Articles from Casino Advisor
Auto Play in Microgaming Online Casino Games
The auto play feature in online casino games allows
players to automatically repeat the wager a number of times under identical conditions. The leading online gaming software provider Microgaming offers the auto play feature in more online casino games than other software providers. This article discusses the auto play feature in slots
roulette
video poker and blackjack games and the different implications that the feature has in each of these games categories. Online slots are ideal for auto play. The only decision that players make is the amount wagered. Since most players will play online slots with all the lines enabled the decision rests on selecting the line bet. This is often dictated by the players bankroll and players usually play the entire session without changing the line bet. Hence it is very convenient to put online slots on auto play. In Microgaming online slots auto play is available in the Expert Mode. 5x and 10x auto play can be directly activated without going into the auto play menu. The menu enables players to set the auto play up to 9999 spins. The auto play can be set to stop only after all spins are completed or if a win exceeds a specified amount. The auto play will automatically stop if any feature is activated in the slot game. In roulette the player also does not make any strategic decisions. He decides on the quantum of the bet. But in roulette there are a large number of bets to choose from. If the player wants to keep changing the type of bet or the numbers selected then he cannot use the auto play. However if the player is willing to keep fixed all betting parameters he can activate the auto play in the Expert Mode in the Microgaming roulette games. The player can select up to 9999 spins and also select the time between spins. He can set the auto play to stop on one of the three following conditions: when all spins are complete; when a win exceeds a preset amount and on any win. The player can enable two other conditions for the auto play to stop. These are if the credits increase or decrease by a preset amount. In video poker the players have to make a strategic decision of which cards to hold once the initial hand is dealt. On first evaluation this would appear to provide an impediment to the auto play feature. However
the video poker games in Microgaming have the optimal strategy built into them. Hence the software automatically chooses the best cards to hold and this allows for the auto play feature. The auto play feature in Microgaming video poker games is very complex. It contains all the features of the slots and roulette auto play and some more. The auto play can be set to stop when a jackpot is hit. Also Microgaming video poker games allow players to double the payout by playing a gamble game. The auto play can be programmed to activate the double all the time
never or under specified conditions. Some versions of Microgaming blackjack have the auto play feature. Blackjack involves even more complex decisions than video poker. Blackjack games that offer auto play have a built in strategy card that dictates the moves to be made by the player. This strategy card is not only available to the player but the player can alter the strategy according to his liking and the play blackjack on auto play with his chosen strategy. Functionally the auto play in Microgaming blackjack is identical to the auto play in Microgaming roulette games. Articles from Casino Advisor

he or she has won. The game also features very easy-to-use stat tables
