| The rules for slots are one
of the easiest set of rules for any casino game. There are no genuine
rules. All the player has to do is drop coins in the slot and heave the
handle or push the spin button. 
The payoff table tells players what the winning groupings of symbols
are for that machine and what each combination pays based on the number
of coins put in for the spin. Players have a much superior chance of
hitting any of the lower-paying combinations. 
There are essentially two kinds of slot machines: flat tops / straight
slots, and progressives. These slots are fundamentally the same, but
for one feature: flat tops will pay the winner a prearranged amount,
whereas progressive slots have a jackpot that raises by a percentage
of each coin played. Sometimes a number of progressive machines feed
into one jackpot where any machine in the group can win, and the jackpot
grows into an exorbitant amount. These groupings can be a number of
machines in one casino, or can be tied to all of the same machines in
a whole state. Progressive machines can be recognized by flashing electronic
payoff signs displayed either on top of the machine or above a grouping.
