In Finland, the state has a monopoly on gambling for nearly 70 years. Only Veikkaus is allowed to operate in Finland but Finnish players can play abroad and actually, that is getting more popular than Veikkaus. Online casinos that have Maltese or Estonian licenses are the most used sites and Finnish players like them. Nowadays the trend is to use fast casinos or as Finnish players are saying “Pikakasinot.”

Kasinoseta.com is one of the sites that review all the casinos for Finnis players and also gives a professional opinion about what sites offer and what kind of games you can play there.

Before gambling, players must learn about the following basic elements in slot games:

  • Reels: Reels appear vertically or horizontally. Players will discover different images or symbols depending on the slot game they are playing. Classic slots, for example, contain three (3) reels. Video slots, on the other hand, may contain five (5), seven (7), or even nine (9) reels. If a certain combination of symbols displays on a payline after gambling and spinning, you win.
  • Paylines: A payline is used to create a winning combination. Gamers will see numbers on either game edge in each slot game they play. A payline is a series of rows that run across the slot reels from left to right. These can also feature symbols in a single row or alternate rows. The number of paylines in a slot machine can range from one to fifty or more. The successful paylines and payouts automatically appear in slot games. At online casinos, pressing the max wager button will activate all of the paylines in that specific slot game.
  • Rows: Rows run vertically in slots, with three or more rows possible in a single game. A payline appears on the appearance of a group of certain symbols in a row. Paylines, on the other hand, do not necessarily appear on the same row because they can run in any direction as long as the symbols are matched.
  • Payout Table: The payout table is the most important part of the game. The table shows which symbols form a winning combination and which symbols trigger free spins. It will also show players how much they stand to win on specific combinations, among other things.

Before they start playing, gamers should familiarize themselves with the following basic symbols of slot machines:

  • Standard Symbols: These are your slot game’s fundamental symbols. The conventional fruit machine icons that have become a vital component of the basic 3-reel slot design have previously been discussed, however, the majority of online slots employ card-based symbols. In this way, they’re returning to the game’s origins, which can be traced back to the early poker machines.
  • Wild Symbols: Wild symbols are a unique form of bonus that the great majority of casino players choose. This type of symbol may be found in most 5-reel online slots nowadays, and it should be specified in your game’s paytable. When the game looks for a winning combination, wild symbols might take the place of any other character.
  • Scatter Symbols: Scatter symbols are yet another popular bonus feature seen in most video slots. Scatters are normally among the most uncommon symbols on the reels, making them more difficult to come by. They do, however, offer the advantage of not needing to be part of a payline to have an impact. The impact varies from one slot machine to the next.

What games are Finnish bettors playing in 2022?

In Finland, where many of the industry leaders manufacture games with a wide range of styles and themes, online slot games are quite popular. Progressive jackpot slots, High roller slots, and 3D slots are popular among players due to their enormous maximum prizes, which may easily reach millions of Euros. Other slot varieties, like Vegas slots, recreate popular land-based casino slot games for online gamers to enjoy from the comfort of their own homes.

How do casinos usually give free spins for game releases?

Some casinos have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, while others are just more generous with their casino bonuses. In Finland, a few operators have continued to stand out in recent years, and in terms of bonuses, we believe the following online games are the finest options.

Top slots in Finland 5

  • Reactoonz: Finnish players love Reactoonz. It might feel confusing but it’s not. It’s a highly volatile game where the aim is to get into the bonus game where the character of the game called “Garga” will show up and acts like a wild symbol.
  • Moon Princess: Lately Moon Princess has become one of the most popular games in Finland. The game theme is anime based where the Princess throws randomly different features where players’ chances increase to win more. The main thing here as well as to trigger the bonus game where the winnings are the biggest.
  • Book of Dead: Legendary Book of Dead has been one of the most popular games already for years. The game is simple with 10 paylines and 3 books that give 10 free spins. While you are playing with Free Spins you will get randomly one symbol that expands for the full reel every time it comes. It also increases winnings and you can also get a full screen of the same symbols.
  • Bonanza: Bonanza slot might be popular in Finland because of the TV Show back in the day which was one of the most-watched shows. The game itself has nothing to do with it and there are a few versions of it normal and Megaways. Symbols are more or less like in Starburst but it still has its own style which players like.
  • Fire in the hole xBomb: Relax Gaming has provided many good games lately and Fire in the hole is one of them. Finnish players love it and the theme of the game is gold mines. The game offers different features and one of them is dynamited which gives more chances to win and gets players closer to the maximum win of the game which is 60000x the stake.

GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.

In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.

Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.

In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.

GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.

Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.

“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.

“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
