Bonus Slots

Bonus slot games are highly popular in the online casino world as they offer such an entertaining dimension to these games. Created long after single line slot machines, bonus slots offer players the chance to take part in at least one bonus round in the game, which is usually triggered by landing a certain icon (or a combination of icons) on the reels.

Once a bonus round is triggered, in most bonus slot games, players are taken to a second screen to play the round. A bonus game could consist of simple pick-a-box or wheel-of-fortune style gaming, or it could involve highly interactive and immersive gaming – all depending on the game and the software company.  Many times, the prizes won during a bonus round are multiplied by a sum that is also determined in this round as part of the prize package.

Once the bonus round ends, players are taken back to the regular game which resumes as usual.

Bonus rounds can be found on games with straight jackpots or progressive jackpots – the presence of a bonus round does not affect the type of jackpots paid out by the game.
