Play for Real or for Fun
One of the great things about playing online, is that you can do it for free. Online casinos, with the exception of Slotland, allow players to play the machines as a "Guest" of the casino.
When you are playing for free, the games operate the same way they do when you are playing for real money. So, if you'd just like to pass some time, you can enjoy yourself, on the house.
Real Money Play OnlyThe one type of slot that you cannot play just for fun is a Progressive Jackpot slot. Those machines are all tied together and a part of the money spent on each spin goes towards the jackpot fund. Allowing free play would compromise the jackpot system. At Slotland, every game in the house is tied to the casino-wide progressive jackpot, and so they cannot allow any free gaming.
Free Play OffersBesides the free play option you have online, there are several interesting casino promotions you can take advantage of. Some of the more progressive casinos are offering free real money play for the first fifteen minutes to an hour at the casino (different casinos are setting different time limits). Check the front page of this site, or our casino bonus pages for more information about the different "free play" offerings you can find.
Real Money PlayAnd, of course there is the traditional real money play. You can open a casino account, and play the game for real cash. Most slots online have a setting where the players can vary the coin sizes, so you can play the same machine for nickels, or dollars depending on your bankroll.
If you are interested in playing for a particular coin size, you can check through our pages focused on:
Notes on Real Money PlayIf you are going to play for real money for the first time, I should tell you that funding your casino account isn't always as easy as you'd hope. Read over my page on Making a Deposit at an online casino to see some of the different ways you can fund an account.
Also, be sure to take advantage of some bonus money when you are choosing a casino. While bonuses are not the only, or perhpas not even the best reson to choose one casino over another, free cash is certainly something you should at least consider when making your first deposit somewhere.
Cash-outs vary from casino to casino in how long they take. There are several casinos that will cash your winnings out immediately into a Neteller account. If the stress of waiting for your winnings is something you don't want to be involved with, look for a casino where you can cash out your winnings instantly.
More Free Slot PlayIf you're not interested in downloading any slot games, for whatever reason, there are still games on the net that you can play for free. There are several free slots games available from Slots Jam.com. They have java based slots games you can play right from the site, and also several flash-based slots as well. A different site that also offers free slots games is the Free Slots Guide.
