Lately I've been seeing a lot of billboards in my area featuring images of miserable-looking men, women, and teens, all reading something along the lines of "How do I tell my family that I gambled it all away?"
The economy sucks, and while it might seem like a good idea in a moment of desperation to risk all of one's money on a chance to "win big," there's probably not a dumber thing you could do, besides jumping out in front of a moving train, or shooting yourself in the leg to see if it will hurt.
Some people aren't in it to "win big," though, some people just like the fun of playing. For those people, I present to you the best of Facebook Slots; free slot machines that are easily accessible from your home computer via Facebook Apps. Some are better than others, and some are just plain awful, but regardless, here are the top three:
#1 - Slotomania - Slot Machines
My personal favorite. Slotomania - Slot Machines currently has twenty (20) different slot machines, each with a different theme. Themes include "Go Bingo," "Vikings," "Creep Fortunes," "Cat Chef," and more. The graphics are more than excellent, and the music and sounds that go with each machine are unique and fun. Bet amounts increase as you "level up" on the game. This is done by gaining XP (experience points) through betting. The higher you bet, the faster you level up. The more you level up, the more games you have access to, and your four-hour bonus goes up at certain levels. This game may be played in a regular viewing version or else in "full screen mode."
Slotomania allows players to collect free coins with which to play every four hours. Coins may also be gained though receiving gifts from friends. You may send and receive either coins or free spins. Free spins count towards your XP and also help you to level up. Obviously, coins may also be purchased by using Facebook Credits. Slotomania coins are priced as follows:
$5 - 5,000 coins
$10 - 12,000 coins
$20 - 30,000 coins
$50 - 120,000 coins
$100 - 300,000 coins
$200 - 800,000 coins
Slotomania often runs promotions for coins when they release new games. During these promotions, coin packages may be purchased with up to 40% free coins added in at no additional charge.
I love Slotomania, but it's very difficult to move up without purchasing coins. I am currently at level 139, and it took me 116,720,000 points to get to that level. That means that I've had to bet a grand total of $116,720,000 to get there. My free coin bonus every four hours is currently $7,000, and I have hundreds of friends that play the game that send me free gifts as I send them the same.
Customer service for this game is despicable, though. The developers of the app can be easily contacted through their Facebook page, but rarely reply to complaints, even though they may be valid. Though they acknowledge that there are plenty of problems with they game, the problems seem to keep making it into newly released games, so it seems that the developers don't really mind that people are having coins deducted from their accounts, missing gifts from their friends, or being charged double for coin packages.
Despite the problems with contacting the developers, though, I'd say that Slotomania - Slot Machines are still the best slots on Facebook. With over 5,000,000 monthly users, it's definitely one of the popular and most played slot games on the site!
#2 - Jackpotjoy Slot Machines
Jackpotjoy Slot Machines are my second favorite, simply because the games are fun. There are fifteen (15) games to choose from with this app, and, like Slotomania, they can be unlocked at certain levels as you gain XP. These games include themes such as "Tiki Island," "Fun of the Fair," "Winstones," "Reel Wild West," and more. The graphics are really good on this slot app, too, though not quite as good as on Slotomania. Bonuses are hard to come by on Jackpotjoy Slot Machines, and coins are hard to build up without buying them. Having plenty of friends who play and are willing to send you coins is useful, because the four-hour bonuses for this game are also fairly low. I'm currently at level 84 (Jackpot Master) and only receive $7,000 per every four hours, though I get $200 a day from almost all of my friends.
I've never had any issues with this game that would require me to contact the developers/customer service for this app. I've never heard any complaints from any of my 700+ friends who play this game, either. While it may be difficult to do very well on these slots, it's still fun to play them.
Jackpotjoy Slot Machines also has a fairly unique feature that's lacking in other slot apps on Facebook...a chat option. Once players access the game in "full screen mode," they are able to chat with all other current players. This chat runs on the right side of one's screen, and every so often, a "mini-game" will pop up in the chat feed, allowing players to try to win a few extra coins to play with. The chat offers a sense of comradery as well as a way for players to make new friends.
Coins may be through collecting the four-hour bonuses, receiving gifts from friends, or by purchasing coin packages using Facebook Credits. Coin prices for Jackpotjoy Slot Machines are as follows:
$5 - 5,000 coins
$10 - 15,000 coins
$20 - 50,000 coins
$50 - 150,000 coins
$100 - 400,000 coins
$200 - 1,000,000 coins
So Jackpotjoy Slot Machines' coins are a bit cheaper than the coins for Slotomania - Slot Machine, though not by much unless you're spending more than $50 on Facebook credits.
This is my second-favorite Facebook slot app. It has more features than Slotomania, and the coin packages offer more for your money, but they don't have as many games to play, and the graphics and music aren't quite as good. Still, it's a free game that's worth playing!
#3 - DoubleDown Casino
DoubleDown Casino offers more than slots, it also offers Blackjack and Poker. With 3,500,000 monthly active users, it's one of the most popular slot apps on Facebook. One of the unique features of this app is that it allows players to play in Tournaments. Slot machines are available for Tournament play for varying entry fees, and with varying rewards. I love the Tournaments for this app, and I generally win or place in about one of six Tournaments I play.
The graphics for this game are so-so (nothing special, but nothing terrible), and the sounds are a bit repetitive, but the music can easily be muted for the game. Unlike Slotomania or Jackpotjoy Slots, DoubleDown Casino only allows you to collect your free gifts once a day. Upon opening the app, players are rewarded with free coins for returning multiple days in a row, for having several friends who also play, and then get a free spin on the "gift wheel" for even more coins. For me, this generally amounts to about $70,000 free coins a day. Afterwards, players may collect three free spins on the "gift wheel" from friends. Amounts on this wheel range from 5,000 coins to 5 million coins, and even include options like "spin again" and "gold coins." Gold coins may be used to buy entries into drawings for more coins with which to play the game. Drawings are held once a month, and though I've never won, it sure would be nice to, since amounts are over 21,000,000 coins sometimes!
Similar to the other slots, XP is gained based on amount of play and how much is bet, but I'm not really sure what it does. All games are accessible from the very first time one plays, so there's no "unlocking" necessary like there is on other slot apps. I'm currently at level 15, but still am unsure what the point of it is.
Coins may only be collected through the "gift wheel," or by purchasing coin packages using Facebook Credits. Coin prices for DoubleDown Casino are as follows:
$3 - 150,000 coins
$8 - 750,000 coins
$18 - 2,500,000 coins
$39 - 12,000,000 coins
$59 - 35,000,000 coins
$99 - 100,000,000 coins
This app has THE best prices for their coin packages. While $200 will get players about a million chips in Slotomania or Jackpotjoy Slots, Doubledown Casino will give a hundred times that for half the price! Not a bad deal! This is that app where coins last the longest and where the games are a bit more exciting. I still enjoy Slotomania best because of the sheer number of fun games with great graphics and sound, and Jackpotjoy Slots second because of the chat option with the mini-games, but DoubleDown Slots are the best for the Tournaments!
So those were the top three Facebook Slot Apps. Still want more? Maybe you've tried those and you're unimpressed? Here are the others I play:
#4 - Royal Slots
#5 - Slots Farm - Slot Machines
#6 - 3D Slots
#7 - House of Fun - Slot Machines
#8 - Slot Machine Tournaments
#9 - ClickFun Casino
#10 - CasinoZone
