Three-Reel Vs Five-Reel Slots
Putting these two popular formats head to head is a tough thing to do. How on earth can we choose between them? Are there some intriguing things we could win, or is it more about the experience?
No one wants to play a boring slot game. However, we have different ideas about what boring means. We thought we would dive into the world of slots to explore these two common game types in more detail. Do you agree with our review?
Although these games might include a wild, it is not certain. And you can forget about seeing a scatter, since there isn’t room to fit one in. Bonus features are rare too, although you can sometimes get a second-screen bonus. Often, just one bonus symbol is required to appear to trigger this.
Wilds are almost always present, and scatters are quite common too. Scatters can often trigger some free spins. You will either get a fixed number or more for each scatter you find above a minimum of three. Bonuses are common as well, with some games fitting in all kinds of them. On-reels bonuses, second-screen bonuses… they are all possible in a five-reel slot.
Three-reel slots
With three reels, these games often have just one line to bet on. Some might fit in three or five, but it is rare to see any more than this. If a game uses a 3 x 3 matrix, it is possible to get eight paylines, but it is unusual.- Win Place or Show Slots
