No, you don't! Nearly all casinos let you play with their slot machine software for free. You may have to register first either as a guest user as a registered member, however. You would also have to download their software if you can't play the slots online. Slot machine software that can be downloaded work better than on-site slot machines.
How can I play for real money?
You have to deposit money through some method approved by the online casino. There may not be as many options available as for ordinary internet purchases. You have to make sure the method is legal in your country/state.
