Online Casino Slots V Landline Slots
As a child growing up in England I loved going to the pub with my Dad and brother. Now, not being able to drink alcohol my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and with my brother being bigger than me it seemed that he always had the more fun. His idea of fun was to torment me. There was one thing that seemed to keep us out of trouble and this always cost my Dad the price of a couple of pints of beer. The one armed bandit, fruit machine or slot machine with all those flashing lights and wacky noises could keep us amused forever.
Being under age we would watch the guys in the pub every time they slipped in 20p or even a high rolling pound and watch the reels spin, the lights flash and the wacky noises ping and wobble while comedic voices informed you of a bonus round you had just entered. We used to watch like hawks at how the game was played.
As I grew up I was fond of playing the occasional slot machine. I had got quite good playing these fruit machines and knew when to play. I won more than I lost so those years watching people play when I was younger paid off.
In the last couple of years I have been experiencing online casino slots games and found them to be quite enjoyable. Just like fruit machines, online slots come in a variation of styles, themes and makes. Playtech, Microgaming and RTG are the major suppliers of online casino software and they do this extremely well.
Slot machines are meant to be fun; they are played more than any other casino game, this is also true for the online casino slots. Lets look at the pros and cons of both land based and online slot machines.

3/ Play for fun or real cash
4/ Dozens of slots to choose from without having to move
5/ Millions can be won on a spin
Cons

2/ No tricks embedded in the games
3/ Most of the games are too similar

5/ No instant payout
6/ Loss of connection
Land Based Fruit Machines
Pros
1/ Tricks embedded to get to bonus rounds
2/ Instant payouts
3/ No connection to lose
4/ More entertaining bonus rounds
5/ Better live experience
6 / Easier to tell when the jackpot is close

Cons

All in all my experience has taught me that land based fruit machines still have the edge over the online casino slots but this is just my opinion. The online slots that come close to fruit machines are those made by Microgaming which you can read in a forthcoming article.
