The great majority of people prefer to play the 5-reel slots which are commonly denominated: video slots. There are variations within the video slots and players often get confused. Once of the main features players look for on video slots, are its bonus rounds. However, not all video slots have bonus rounds. They may provide other special features such as free spins or wild icons, or expanding multiplier, but these are not the same as a bonus round, which can be a mini game of a sort.
The slots called Bonus Slots are those that offer a bonus round that can be triggered during play. Oftentimes the bonus round will transform the screen of play into a different scenario (no longer involving reels) and the player must perform an action or activity that will reward him or her with coins at the end of the round. Some online slots even have several bonus rounds within a single game, which makes the play more exciting. A game that comes to mind is Reel of Fortune, which has two different bonus round involving completely difference objectives.
The bonus round is highly coveted because it will award a jackpot prize that is proportionally greater than the original bet. While normal paytable jackpots may come often, they are most of the time small when compared to the jackpots of bonus rounds. Finding slots that offer bonus rounds is as simple as taking a close look at the paytable. All slots will reveal if the paytable has free spins, wilds, multipliers and bonus round. Check which icon will trigger the bonus round and then cross your fingers that you will get it in one of your spins at the machine.
A new bonus video slot coming soon is called Shamrock Isle, which will have 3 bonus rounds and the player will get to choose which to play every time. This slot is to be released next week by Rival-gaming casinos.
