Having only been invented in 1895 in San Francisco by Charles Fey, the slot machine may be one of the youngest casino games, when you compare it to games like roulette, blackjack or baccarat. But for what slot games lack in age, they more than make up for in popularity, accounting for the lion’s share of gameplay in casinos across the globe.
We’ve come a long way since the days of the first 3-reel Liberty Bell machine and its 50¢ jackpot, which was mostly found in saloons. From the introduction of 5-reel machines, which drastically changed the way people could play the game and achieve paylines, all the way to online slots, with their exciting graphics, sound effects and enhanced interactivity, slots have changed a lot with the times. But they still retain that joyful simplicity of pulling a crank and watching the reels spin.
Over the last century, the humble slot machine has become king of both the real world casino floor as well in the digital world in the form of online casino slots. So it’s fitting that Royal Vegas would host such a dazzling variety of them over our 24 years in the industry.
In recent years slots have become increasingly played online. In particular, many players have flocked to trusted and established mobile casinos and apps, such as Royal Vegas, to enjoy the games without having to worry about whether they’re getting treated fairly. Many who enjoy slot games often don’t want the hassle of going all the way to a casino or similar establishment just to play a few rounds. Another issue is that there’s a lack of a proper variety of slot machines in most physical casinos.
It is through these exciting partnerships and our consistent commitment to bringing our members only the most popular titles available, that we now offer over 700 of the best online slots in the world. Some of the slot titles we have include Game of Thrones™ and Tomb Raider™ that entertain players around the world not just through their amazing graphics and advanced gameplay but also the rich pop-cultural references that take you back to cultural touchstones in your own life.
Some of the types of slots we offer include:
To further ensure complete fairness and objectivity every time you spin the reels at Royal Vegas, we use a Random Number Generator (RNG) on all our slot games. This incredibly complex algorithm program generates completely random values between 0 and about 4 billion, the combination of which determines the symbols that appear on the reels. The amount of different combinations created by the RNG is too large to be properly mathematically calculated, let alone predicted by anyone.
The randomness of our online slots results as well as the integrity of all the casino games offered at Royal Vegas are independently tested and accredited by eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance), the world’s leading regulatory body for online casinos. We are also regulated and fully licensed.
Slots have retained their popularity as they moved to the online space due to their ease of play and the variety of different ways you can win, which isn’t found in many other casino games. Online casino slots excel at giving you the thrill of playing a game of chance without the regret of feeling like you could have played it differently.
Unlike table games like baccarat or blackjack, which require a certain amount of complex decision making and strategizing - such as whether or not to split a pair of 8’s, for example - the only possible result you could have gotten in any given game of slots is the one you got.
While often players are looking for the excitement of playing a few hands of baccarat against a live dealer online, many equally enjoy the visual excitement of the hundreds of online slots we offer combined with the simplicity of a straightforward game.
