Sim Slots
A term Sim slots (or Simulation slots) is usually used to describe online slots and differentiate them from the mechanical slot machines you can play in brick and mortar casinos.
But as a matter of fact, sim slots don't differ much from casino slots, they're just an on-screen representation of the real slot machines, except for the fact that you can play them in the privacy of your own home or office.
Even though sim slots is only a simulation, the logic and rules are all based on those of the slot machines at an actual casino. Of course, there are physical differences, but in reality there is no technical difference between sim slots and land-based slots when it comes down to the way they work.
In the old days, slot payouts were determined by the number of reels and the number of stops on each reel. Modern slot machines, whether online or in land based casino, are governed by random number generators.
