Smart slot play means putting a reality check on bonus rounds
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
The so-called "bonus game revolution" in the slot machine industry rages on. The competition is fierce among manufacturers to create games that keep players coming back for more. Bonus games give players the illusion they are getting something extra for their slot machines play, but it's an illusion. Games with bonus feature components and bonus jackpots are the stars. The amount of money the machine is programmed to pay for winning combinations outside the bonus features can be affected. If a machine returns to players 93 percent of what it takes in, any bonuses are paid out of that amount. There is no "extra" money put aside for bonuses.
