Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots

Ladbrokes has had the very sensible idea of making virtual slot machines actually look like the real things – only without the beer stains and cigarette ash. The new UK Pub Slots feature on the Ladbrokes Casino web site has taken 44 of the best three reel slot games from the days when you give the barman a pound for your beer, and invest the change he gave you in the machine on the way back to your table.

Most of the games have only one payline, hold and nudge buttons, and is played exactly the same way as you would have played them in the pub.

Each of the UK Pub Slots has a flash player “freeplay” option so you can try them out before playing them for real, and there is an info bar on each game that explains what the features are and how they work. Although the flash player version has excellent graphics and works perfectly well, you may want to download the full Ladbrokes Casino software once you have registered as a player to enable a few extra features and gain a better playing experience.

The UK Pub Slots element of the site compliments the other 182 slots games which are available on the Ladbrokes Casino web site, including 16 progressive jackpot machines and slot tournaments – in which the player with the largest amount of cash at the end of an allocated time wins the pot. There are also Sit ´n´ Go slot tournaments and multi player games with a payout structure similar to poker and even freeroll tournaments which offer prizes into the cash games.

Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots Strategy

In the days of playing the fruit machine in the pub, there were all sorts of urban myths. For example it was claimed that if you held two of the reels twice in succession, and let all three reels spin on the third hold, you were guaranteed a prize. There is nothing so elaborate in any of the games featured in the Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots. Simply try out the games in demo mode, read through the features and bonuses and exploit them to win as much as possible and then change machines.

UK Pub Slots offer you more control over your game with the options to hold and nudge, so use this to your advantage. It is also worth bearing in mind that UK Pub Slots is a new addition to the Ladbrokes Casino web site, so the RTP (return to player) percentages should be quite high whilst they are still trying to attract players to this part of the casino. Games like “Jackpot 8000” are more likely to be willing to release their top prizes, whilst “Deal or No Deal” style bonus features (such as on “Deep Sea Dosh”) are likely to be more generous.

Some of the games (“Cops and Robbers” for example) offer hints to players about which reels to hold or nudge, and although these are never advertised in the game instructions, it is worth seeking these slots out to add a little extra to your winnings.

Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots Nice Touches

The whole experience of playing the UK Pub Slots is a nice touch in itself. There is a definite pub humour about the way in which the instructions are written and the games are presented. The graphics, animations and background sounds perfectly replicate the experience of playing on a UK Pub Slot and many of the games will be as familiar on the computer screen as they were in the pub.

Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots Summary

Not every element of the Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots harks back to the days of rickety wooden tables that you had to put a bar mat under to stop it wobbling. Many of the slots games have modern references and features than can win you far more than you could even hope to extract from the 10p machine in the Dog and Duck.

The concept behind UK Pub Slots is excellent and the game playing experience has been maximised by fantastic software to the benefit of the player. Like in the real pub, there are many low value prizes and it is not so often that the jackpots are won; however, if you can stack up enough small prizes to remain liquid until the reels spin for you, playing on Ladbrokes UK Pub Slots could be a rewarding pastime.
