When I was exploring the gambling board I saw multiple time this word that people were saying underdog playing. I search it for know more details. But I still confusion, Can anyone explain me it in example in both cases sports and slot games?

I guess in sport betting is obvious, is when you bet on a team where the bookies exclude they can win or have very low probability to do so, do not get fooled though, I have seen underdogs of odds 11 winning or even with odds 23 like Manchester City vs Copenhagen where the game ended 0-1 and the odd was 23, in this case Copenhagen was the heavy underdog.

Now in slot machines there is no real way of explaining it except that you are betting a lot of money in not a common outcome, for example you are buying the bonus with bet max which in most cases is 10.000 dollars a buy bonus and you are expecting to hit the max multiplier, meaning you are truly "gambling" and are betting against the odds, in this case is like favoring the underdog compared to the above situation in football.
