How to Play Slots
Everything beginners need to know about online slots—from understanding RTP to reading paytables and choosing the right games.
Getting Started
Choose a Licensed Casino
Only play at MGA, UKGC, or Kahnawake licensed casinos. Check our high RTP directory for trusted options.
Register and Verify
Create account with real info. Complete KYC verification early—upload ID and proof of address before playing.
Deposit via Interac
Use Interac e-Transfer for instant deposits. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it.
Check RTP Before Playing
Open game info or paytable to find RTP percentage. Aim for 96%+ for best value. Note volatility too.
Play Responsibly
Set time and loss limits. When your budget is gone, stop. Slots are entertainment, not income.
💡 Key Insight
Always check RTP in the game info section before playing. Even a 2% difference in RTP significantly affects your expected returns over time. Our RTP guide explains why this matters.
Understanding the Paytable
Every slot has a paytable showing symbol values, bonus features, and usually the RTP percentage. Before playing any slot, spend 30 seconds reviewing this information. It tells you everything about how the game pays.
Find the RTP percentage (aim for 96%+). Check the volatility level if listed. Understand which symbols trigger bonuses. Know the maximum win potential. This knowledge helps you choose games that match your goals and bankroll.
