What the slots section covers
The library draws on 66 providers, including NetEnt, Playtech, Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Blueprint Gaming, IGT, Nolimit City, Red Tiger Gaming, Big Time Gaming, Quickspin, Yggdrasil Gaming, Push Gaming, ELK Studios, Relax Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, Light & Wonder, Games Global, Spribe and Inspired Gaming. A provider usually has a recognisable style, so two slots from the same studio often share a look, a pace or a type of feature. That makes the provider a handy first filter when you browse.
The slot pages on this site each look at one game. They explain how it pays, which features it has and what volatility and RTP mean for it. Divine Fortune and Gonzo's Quest are two of them, and Fire in the Hole 3 is another. Read the page for a game before you play it, because the paytable and features differ from one slot to the next.
Online slots in the UK follow Gambling Commission rules, which include a minimum spin time and a maximum stake per spin, lower for players under 25. Because of that, a slot here does not offer autoplay, turbo spins or bonus buy.
When you read a slot page, the same few points repeat, and they are the ones worth comparing between games. The paytable shows what each symbol pays. The features describe what can trigger during a round, such as free spin rounds or multipliers. RTP is the share of stakes a game returns over a very long run, and the maximum win is the top payout the game allows. Two slots can share a theme and still differ on every one of these, so compare the pages, not the artwork.
Volatility deserves a word of its own. A low-volatility slot tends to pay smaller amounts more often, and a high-volatility slot pays larger amounts less often. Neither is better, and neither is a way to win: it only describes how the payouts are spread.
Slots, the spins offer and the rest of the games
The slots tiles show games you can learn about, while the spins offer is a separate matter. The offer for new players is Up to 500 Free Spins. Its wagering term is shown as "No wagering", the minimum deposit is £10, and the offer is valid for 20 days. T&Cs apply.
The spins are tied to Book of Horus, Curse of the Bayou, Magic Forge, Wrath of the Deep, so they do not cover every slot in the library. The free spins page explains how the offer works, and the welcome bonus page covers it from the point of view of someone joining.
If you want something other than slots, the games page covers live casino, table games and crash-style titles. They play differently from slots, with rounds and bets that follow other rules.
If you plan to use the spins offer, begin with the games it covers, Book of Horus, Curse of the Bayou, Magic Forge, Wrath of the Deep, since the spins cannot be used elsewhere. Otherwise browse by provider, or by the feature you want to understand.

Choosing a slot to read about first
Start from what you want to understand. If you want to know how a feature-heavy game works, pick a page that explains its features. If you prefer to see the paytable first, choose a game whose page sets it out clearly.
Check RTP and volatility on the page before you play. RTP is the long-run return of a game and volatility is how the payouts are spread, and neither tells you what the next spin will do.
Slots are quick, and the spin time is short, so it is easy to lose track of how much you have staked. Check your balance and your time now and then, and stop when you reach the limit you set. The safer gambling page lists the tools available.
Before you deposit
Set a deposit limit that matches an amount you can afford to lose, and keep to it. If a session starts to feel less like entertainment, use a time-out or GAMSTOP.
Read the terms of any spins offer before you pay in, including which games count and how long the offer lasts. The deposits page explains how paying in works.
