What Makes a Great Online Slot?

July 5, 2021 Posted by Abigail Massimo Editorial No Comments

Online slots have seen a huge surge in popularity, not just in the last two decades but in the last two years. According to the UK Gambling Commission, the total UK gambling market was worth £14.3billion in 2018-2019, with online gambling accounting for nearly 40% of the market. It’s no secret that slot games are a big part of the industry’s success online, but what makes a great online slot?

Great Graphics

A huge part of the popularity of online slots comes from the graphics. Online slots are always brightly coloured with lots of different elements on the screen which makes it exciting to play. The bright colours, flashing lights and constant action mean there’s always something to grab your attention. Online casinos are also known for licensing a lot of different brands, meaning that you can usually find a slot themed around your favourite character which makes it even more fun because you recognise elements of the game.

Extra Games

If you’re looking to play now then having mini-games built into your choice of casino game is always a good thing too. Not only do mini-games and extra levels give you extra chances to win, but they help to keep the game fun and exciting – which is great for people that like to play slots regularly online.

Easy To Play

Online slots can range in how easy they are to understand, but the best online slot games are easy to follow at the same time as having the element of excitement to it. There is nothing more off-putting than opening a game and not understanding what’s going on because you don’t know if you’re going to lose your money from missing something obvious. Great online slot games are easy to play, have clear instructions and have an element of interactivity – more than just pressing spin and crossing your fingers.

Big Jackpots

As well as being fun to play online slots obviously come with the lure of winning a lot of money. Most online slot games offer a massive jackpot, and even though you’re very unlikely to ever win the jackpot it’s no less tempting to try! A lot of online casinos also offer incredible welcome bonuses, even sometimes up to £100. If you’ve ever considered playing online slots the generous welcome bonuses are sure to tempt you to give it a go! When you choose which casino to sign up to, take a look at all of their welcome offers and go with the one that you’re most likely to use and offers the best value.

Being Accessible

Games being easy to access is a must too – after all, if you’re in the mood for online gaming you don’t want to spend ages getting logged in or trying to get the game to load. One way to ensure this is to have the slot game available via a casino app – which allows the person to get going quickly especially if they have already downloaded the app onto their phone. Slot games should be reliable and load quickly without errors, otherwise, people will get bored and go and find a different game to play – which is most definitely something that online casinos will want to avoid.

With people stuck at home and looking for something to do, online slots have grown massively in popularity in the past year – because they give players an easy way to relax and spend a little time enjoying games from the comfort of their own home.
