Slots have been the most popular game since the inception of casinos. However, with the rise of online casinos, online slots have caught up in the intervening years, taking the lion's share of total gaming returns each year.

    

    With so many types of slots in existence, we wanted to provide an overview, both online and in brick and mortar casinos, to illustrate what these different types of slots can bring to the table.

    

    Online Slots

    

    Every day, more people are irreversibly moving from brick-and-mortar casinos to online casinos, and the rise of online slots is steady and promising. Everything about them is new and exciting, and with the industry investing in enhancements in terms of graphics, player experience, and special features, coupled with dozens of high-quality new slots being released every month, there is a huge selection of games for players to choose from.

    

    On top of that, online slots offer more benefits than physical slots, including:

    

    * A large collection of games with hundreds of different types of slots to choose from

    

    *Improved payouts compared to physical slots

    

    *Bigger maximum bet possibilities depending on the country you are in

    

    *Huge potential payouts, including multi-million jackpot slots

    

    *Play in the comfort and privacy of your own home

    

    *Can also be enjoyed on your cell phone without the need to download or install additional software

    

    Physical Slots

    

    Although physical slots have declined dramatically with the advent of online slots, a decrease in demand usually means that fewer new slots are being produced and sold, while existing slots require regular repairs and maintenance.

    

    This results in casinos incurring additional costs which are usually reflected in the RTP, however, physical slots still have a number of benefits that can continue to thrive in today's hugely competitive environment, including:

    

    *Slots offer a unique casino experience that can't always be recreated online.

    

    *Because physical slots have stricter betting limits, they are often considered a safer and more responsible gaming option for vulnerable players.

    

    *Physical slots use TRNG (True Random Number Generator) and are sometimes considered more reliable than online RNG.
