The auto play feature is very popular at most online casino games, however I believe it is given its best use at slot games. The reason why I think this is because in online slot games players do not vary betting options a lot and game play is repetitive. Apart from that, let’s be honest and say that after the initial audio visual display of the slot game wears off it is helpful to have a tool to put the game in auto play and wager somewhere else.

A lot of online gaming providers offer this tool but, interestingly, it is different for each one of them. For example, Realtime Gaming offers an auto play feature that allows you to enter the number of auto play spins and also enable some conditions. Some examples of these conditions are stop when a jackpot is won, stop when a win equals or exceeds a specified amount, stop on any win,stop if the balance increases or decreases by a specified amount. If you are in front of your computer you can manually stop auto play but if you are planning to go get a sandwich this can be convenient.

Vegas Technology offers a similar type of auto play option but with one very important additional option. Players are able to specify the number of seconds between spins between 0.25 and 2.00 which would allow you to have the game run really fast.

Cryptologic offers a two-level auto play feature. In the first level players set the number of auto spins and run them through. In the second level players can specify conditions for the auto play to automatically stop. These conditions are the same as Vegas Technology with the exception that players cannot specify the time between spins but they can select the number of paylines and the coin denomination from within the auto play settings.

There is also the Microgaming auto play feature which allows players to activate a 5x or a 10x auto spins can be activated directly without entering the setup box. The only condition at which the auto play can be stopped is when a win exceeds or equals a specified amount. The auto play automatically stops if a bonus feature is activated.
