As you may have already noticed, there are literally
thousands of different kinds of slot machines, each with
their own individual flavor. Some may include mini-games,
side bets, special jackpots for getting a particular combination
in a specific timeframe, and a wide variety of other bells
and whistles to keep us entertained. On the surface, these
options seem endless, however you should know that there
are really only 3 basic types of slot machines: your traditional
3-reel slots, multi-line slots, and progressive slots.
Types of Slot Machines: 3-reel slots
These are the machines we all know and love. Since the
very beginning, these types of slot machines have been
popular the world over! They have 3 reels, and a single
payout line across the middle.
Types of Slot Machines: Multi-line Slots
Multi-line slots may also have more than 3 reels. They
usually spot payout lines horizontally, vertically,
and diagonally to give you more ways to win. Be aware,
though, that this does not necessarily means you will
win more money in total!
Types of Slot Machines: Progressive Slots
Progressives have a master jackpot counter that goes
up continuously. These can take the form of normal or
multi-line slot machines. Hit the big one these machines
and you'll win that huge jackpot - what a rush!
