While there are no exact details for when the first bonus slots started to appear on casino floors it was most likely in the 1980's. Regardless of when the first bonus slots were released they have become the most popular style of slot machine both at offline and online casinos. It's now quire rare for new games not to have some sort of bonus.

It took the online casinos quite a few years to catch up with land-based casinos in terms of bonus slots. The category really started to pick up in 2003 when all of the major software providers started to release a good range of bonus feature games. Today you have a huge selection of games with a huge variety of bonus types.

In terms of bonus game types there are several main categories which are as follows;

  • Free Spins
    You win free games which often have increased win multipliers
     
  • Pick a Box Bonus
    A second screen bonus where you get to pick items to reveal prizes
     
  • Wheel of Fortune
    Made famous by IGT the wheel of fortune bonus awards a spinning prize wheel
     
  • Accumulator Bonus
    You collect items to win prizes or activate another type of bonus
     
  • Multi-Spin Bonus
    Game like multi-hand video poker where you have multiple sets of reels.

Some slot machines have multiple types of features so it's not uncommon to see for example a game with both free spins and a pick a box bonus. As games get more advanced we are also starting to see games with multiple types of the same feature. For example the popular Thunderstruck II game has four types of free spins.
