While most online slots cater to players with, "limited" bankrolls of a few hundred dollars or less, high rollers need not feel left out. Indeed, there are still quite a few sites whose games offer increased betting limits for players with substantial bucks backing their play. Let's take a look at some of today's hottest high roller slots, and the places you can play them.
$5 Slots
The most common of the so-called "High Roller" slots found online are the $5 machines. These games blend the thrill of moderately high risk with very high rewards, frequently boasting non-progressive payouts of $25,000 or more. And because of this added excitement, many players who can afford the action find these games impossible to resist.
Vacation Station
Vacation Station is an exciting three-reel, eight-payline slot that's available in denominations that range from a low $0.01 to as high as $5, with a maximum bet tipping the scales at $120. The game boasts delightfully animated screens, fun 3-D animation and digital sounds and features nine winning combinations and a top prize of 4,000 coins with the maximum bet. The game also features a scatter symbol that pays when four symbols (or above) hit, offering a maximum scatter pay of 1,000 coins for all nine symbols.

Aztec's Treasure
One of the latest games created by software developer RealTime Gaming, Aztec's Treasure is a wonderfully animated five-reel, 20-payline slot set to a backdrop of Aztec might. The game offers a maximum payout of 5,000 coins and features a wild symbol (the Aztec king), scatter symbols, a multiplier and random jackpots that can be won at any time. There is also a wonderful bonus feature that awards 5, 15, or 25 free spins for drawing 3, 4, or 5 "Idol" symbols.

Around the World
Another recently launched slot, this time courtesy of WagerLogic, Around the World is a remarkably innovative five-reel, 20-payline slot loosely based on world landmarks.
Gameplay is both fun and exciting and features scatter symbols as well as a thoroughly enjoyable bonus round where players fly a hot-air balloon (via the mouse) simultaneously collecting treasures and avoiding obstructions such as vultures. Players may collect as many as 20 treasure chests before the end of the round. Finally, Around the World offers 31 winning combinations as well as a massive jackpot worth up to 30,000 coins.

$10 Slots
Our next level of slot for the affluent player is the $10 slot. Like their $5 counterpart, these slots feature imposing bankroll requirements tempered by the potential for stunning jackpot payouts. But since fewer players can afford the action, there are naturally fewer games to choose from-making it all that more difficult for players to find unique and exciting games in this category. Below are a few of the Internet's finest.
Jurassic Jackpot
Jurassic Jackpot is a thrilling romp through prehistory set to a backdrop of snarling dinosaurs and jungle terrain. The game is a simple three-reeled, single payline slot that features a terrific multiplier symbol (the dinosaur silhouette) which also doubles as the game's wild card, completing any winning combination on the payline. Payouts for Jurassic Jackpot range from as low as two coins to a maximum jackpot of 1,600 ($16,000) with two coins wagered.

Mah Jong Madness
Inspired by the traditional Chinese game Mah Jong, Mah Jong Madness is a fun, fast-paced and slightly out-of-the-ordinary slot that supports a wonderful oriental theme complete with vibrant images of the classic tiles essential to its namesake.
Despite appearing somewhat confusing at first, Mah Jong Madness is actually quite simple to play. The game features only five basic reels, no multipliers, scatter symbols, or bonus rounds. However, owing to its 21 paylines, 26 possible winning combinations, and a top payout of 2,500 coins Mah Jong Madness promises exceptional payouts and hours of exciting slots action.

King Tut's Treasure
One of the best themed games in this denomination, King Tut's Treasure is an exciting three-reel, single line slot that clearly draws its inspiration from ancient Egypt, with game symbols that include camels, scarabs, pyramids, the mysterious sphinx and more.
The game is a classic three-reel, single line slot that's about as straightforward as they come, with no multipliers or bonus features. There is one wild card, the Pharoah symbol, which substitutes for any other symbol to make a winning combination. Payouts are generous for this game, with the top jackpot being 2,000 coins and the second highest payout, 1,000. Finally, although it's listed here because it allows players to wager in denominations as high as $10, the game also accommodate $5, $1, and $0.50 players.

$20 and Higher
Although less common than the other denominations, slots offering $20 bets (and higher) are available online for players whose bankroll supports such expensive gaming. Below are descriptions of some of the more popular slot games in this category. Check them out the next time you're online-if you dare!
Break Da Bank
At upwards of $25 a pull with a maximum bet of $125, Break Da Bank is one of the highest denomination multi-line slot games online. A three-reel, five-payline game, Break Da Bank is an entertaining and remarkably authentic-looking representation of a classic casino slot. Although the game offers no progressive payouts or bonus rounds, it does feature a terrific wild card/multiplier combination that doubles the payout when a single wild card appears and awards 4x the payout for two wild symbols. Jackpots pay 2,400 coins with maximum bet.

Cool Bananas
Another fantastic game designed for players with high bankrolls, Cool Bananas is a five-reel, nine-payline video slot that features two wild cards (Mighty Monkey and Banana), multipliers, a bonus round and a total 26 winning combinations. The maximum wager is $20 per line with a max bet of $180. The game's highest payout is 5,000 coins.
While Cool Bananas is a genuinely fun game that mixes a poker deck with amusing characters and symbols, its best feature is the bonus round. The bonus round is entered once a player has received both the "Mighty Monkey" and "Banana" symbol on the same screen. During bonus play, players receive 10 free spins for each "Mighty Monkey" symbol that appears, as well as double payouts for wins received during the free spin rounds.

Barnyard Boogie
One of the hottest new games for high rollers, Barnyard Boogie is a five-reel, nine-payline slot that features wild cards and scatter symbols, as well as an exciting bonus game. Players may wager as little as a single coin or as many as 20, with the maximum bet per round coming in at a high $180. While such stakes may be a little high for most players, those that can afford it will reap the benefits of a game that offers a 4,000 coin jackpot and one of highest number of winning combinations for an online slot machine: 38.
As you could guess by its name, Barnyard Boogie is set to an amusing farmyard theme that includes as its star a humorous dancing pig. To get to the bonus round, players need to receive the game's pig symbol on the 2nd and 4th reels. Once in the bonus round, players choose from a variety of barnyard objects and uncover prizes after revealing the dancing pig.
