Bonus Game Chasing
One of the major attractions of playing video slots online is that you stand the chance of triggering their bonus games randomly at any time. This is usually achieved by getting three or more of the scatter symbols in view in anyone one game.
These bonus games can be anything from a preset amount of free-spins which give a bonus multiplier on every win that spins in during these free-spins rounds, or you could win a pick them type game whereby you have to uncover cash amounts by simply picking several items from those presented to you on the screen.
Getting these bonus games can be very rewarding, and by virtue of them being triggered by getting three or more of the scatter symbols savvy players have spent a lot of time studying the reel symbol layouts to get an average number of spins required between features to trigger the bonus games.

They then adjust their game play to allow them the best chance of a decent sized win by slowly increasing their bet amounts when they feel they are more likely to hit the bonus games. By using their knowledge of the reel layouts this can give them a sporting chance of a winning session.
