Slots with Bonus Game Features

Slots with Bonus Game Features are just like in many ways an ordinary classic casino slot game, though they do have some unique differences that separate them. Actually, the main difference is the fact that they have additional ways to win - consider it as another game within the slot machine such as a bonus round. These bonus rounds or features come in different forms, but if you can hit the bonus round, you are sure to win additional coins or credits in most cases.

We can categorize the slots with bonus game features into the three most popular ones, namely:

• The Second Screen Bonus Round

It is generally known as the "Second Screen Feature" which by far is the most popular now. Usually the slots with a second screen tend to be video slots although some classic spinning reel slots have been installed with screens on top of the reels.

As the name suggest, the second screen will be where the bonus features will be played. The game on the second screen will vary and can be anything from a horse race to a keno game. You usually have to hit a specific combo on the reels to activate the second screen in order to play the bonus feature. The bonus feature will usually increase your winnings.

On online slot machines, there are more second screen slot variations than any other bonus feature style.

• The Bonus Spins Feature

This feature is another popular form of a bonus game. This basically means if you hit a certain combo on the reels, you receive a set amount of free spins. These free spins are sometimes also multiplied so you can really end up with some big winnings from the bonus round.

• The Hold Reels Bonus Feature

This feature is gaining popularity among player since in essence they are much like video poker. This is done by spinning the reels once, then choosing which reel you want to hold before you again spin the remaining reels in order to get the final outcome.
