Fuel hike, bad roads – Traders and buyers at…

Traders and buyers at Eke Awka Market, in Anambra State’s capital, have attributed the scarcity of onions to rising fuel prices and the country’s poor road network.

A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) survey conducted on Tuesday revealed that onions, a key condiment used to spice food, have become increasingly difficult to find and afford.

Obigaeli Nwokoye, a petty trader dealing in onions, explained that a few weeks ago, there was no onion available in the entire market due to bad roads. She added that suppliers from the northern part of the country faced delays, as the high cost of fuel and poor road conditions hindered transportation and logistics.

“Drivers coming from Kano face major challenges, which delay their deliveries to Awka.

“The government should address these issues and give special attention to food transporters to ensure a steady supply of food items.”

Mrs Chioma Okeke, another seller, shared that the price of a bag of onions had skyrocketed to ₦370,000, compared to ₦258,000 in November. She further noted that the price had steadily increased throughout the year, from between ₦70,000 and ₦90,000 in January to ₦110,000 to ₦170,000 around August/October.

“From November to December, the price jumped to between ₦250,000 and ₦300,000.”

Mrs Doris Beluchukwu, a buyer, expressed frustration at the soaring prices and scarcity.

“Onions that used to cost ₦100 or ₦200 are now priced between ₦500 and ₦2,000,” she said.

She also urged the government to ensure its food regulatory agencies functioned effectively, as some of the food shortages might be artificial.

“Government needs to act quickly to ensure a steady supply of basic food items to markets across the country,” Beluchukwu added.

According to statistics, the revenue in the online gambling market is projected to reach 97.15 billion USD in 2024. This represents a revenue change of 14.1%. As more and more people want to enjoy the fun of the casino, it makes sense for online casinos to offer some games for free. In this article, we’ll tell you all about free slots and how you can access them for casino fun.

How Free Slots Work

Essentially, free slots are slot machine games that don’t cost you anything to play them. This means you can enjoy them as much as you want without worrying about spending any money. There are many benefits to this, of course. You can find your favorite games and enjoy them without the gambling element and you can try out new games to see if you like them before spending any of your hard-earned cash. 

The games you can play will vary from site to site, just like their paid versions. You’ll get access to all of the common features like bonus rounds, free spins, and the progressive jackpot element if there is one. However, because you’re playing for free, anything you win will also be virtual, so there’s no chance of winning a payout—unless you’re using free spins from a no-deposit bonus, for example. 

The Benefits of Free Online Slots

Free online slots have their advantages. Here’s a summary of why many people enjoy them:

  • It’s risk-free entertainment: You can play the games to your heart’s content without the fear of losing money being there. 

  • Skill development: For slots that are more strategic or challenging, free slots and demo versions mean you get to practice your gameplay and familiarize yourself with the rules. 

  • Work out how much you’d like to play with: When you play a game for free, you can test out its volatility and RTP (return to player) to see if it’s worth the risk of betting higher or whether you should stick to small amounts. 

  • Diverse game selection: Free slots are available in a wide range of themes and styles. There are thousands of different ones available so you’ll always find something you enjoy.

Key Features to Look For in Free Slots

Ultimately, what you look out for depends on the individual, but some things will make the free slot experience better. This includes:

  • The graphics and sound: This enhances the gaming experience and some games are much better than others. 

  • Return-to-player (RTP) percentage: Playing free slots allows you to test out games with different RTPs to see if you like playing them and they’re worth the risk if the RTP is lower. 

  • Mobile compatibility: Trying out a game on a mobile device for the first time can be a bit hit-and-miss. Using a free version means you can see if it works well before spending your money. 

Tips For Finding the Best Free Online Slots

To find the best free slots, you’ll need to look around. Some online casinos don’t allow you to play their games for free until you register while others are happy to let you try them out before you sign up. 

Looking at online reviews by other players is also useful as you won’t then waste time playing games you know aren’t great. Also, there are plenty of sites that aren’t casinos that allow you to play games by top developers in demo mode. 

The Potential Problem of Free Slots in Online Gaming

Realistically, software developers allow you to play their games for free because they want you to enjoy them. Online casinos offer free games to entice you to join and spend real cash. If you know this and are a responsible gamer, there’s no reason why you can’t have fun playing this way. All reputable sites have responsible gaming tools so if you do decide to stop playing the free versions, be sure to join a site that is licensed and reputable, then you have protection against problem gambling.

Conclusion

Free slots have so many advantages and as long as you’re aware of the potential downside and are a responsible gamer, there’s no reason why you can’t continue to enjoy free slots for as long as you want. These are an entry point into the world of online casinos but they can just be where you stop too. Free slots are a relaxed way of learning about casino gaming mechanics and can help you unwind.
