Types of Slot Machine Games

Slot games differ in how the reels are laid out and how a win is counted. Below is a breakdown of how each style in Reel Rollin works.

Classic 3-Reel Slots

Three reels, a few paylines and familiar symbols. Follows the fruit machine format: quick to read and easy to play.

Wins come from matching three symbols across a payline. Look for stacked wilds and simple bonuses that keep the pace fast.

In Reel Rollin: Lucky Orchard, Neon Sevens, Gold Rush Saloon, Diner Jackpot.

Video Slots With Paylines

Five reels and fixed paylines, with scatters that start free spins and wilds that stand in for other symbols.

Paylines run across the five reels in fixed patterns, and a win needs matching symbols from the leftmost reel along one line. Most of the excitement lives in the free spins round.

In Reel Rollin: Pharaoh's Vault, Dragon Pearl, Viking Voyage, Mermaid Lagoon, Haunted Manor, Space Cadet.

Ways-to-Win Slots

No paylines. Matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left pay in any row: 243 ways on a 5x3 grid, 1,024 on a 5x4.

Because any row counts, wins land more often than on payline games. Bigger grids mean more ways and bigger bonus potential.

In Reel Rollin: Wild Safari, Panda Garden, Aztec Sun, Northern Lights.

Cascading Reel Slots

Winning symbols disappear and new ones fall into place. One spin can pay several times, often with a growing multiplier.

Cascades continue until no new win forms. Many cascade games raise a multiplier with each step, and some keep it through free spins.

In Reel Rollin: Candy Cascade, Gem Quarry, Atlantis Tumble.

Cluster Pays Slots

A 6x6 grid with no reels to line up. Five or more matching symbols touching each other form a cluster and pay.

Clusters connect up, down, left and right. Like cascading games, winning clusters clear and the grid refills.

In Reel Rollin: Sweet Shop Grid, Crystal Cave, Pixel Pets.

Hold and Re-Spin Slots

Land enough coins and they lock in place for a few re-spins. Each new coin resets the count. Fill the grid for the Grand.

The base game is ordinary reels; the re-spin round is the event. Coins show prize values, and named prizes such as Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand sit on a ladder.

In Reel Rollin: Treasure Lockdown, Lunar Coins, Piggy Bank Bash.

Variable Reel Slots

Every reel draws a new height on every spin, so the number of ways to win changes each time, up to six figures.

With six reels of two to seven rows, a spin can have anywhere from 64 to 117,649 ways to win. Taller reels mean more ways.

In Reel Rollin: Thunder Ranch, Jungle Temple, Cosmic Climb.

Words You Will See

Wild: Stands in for other symbols to complete a win. Some games stack wilds or turn whole reels wild.
Scatter: Pays or starts a bonus wherever it lands, not just on a line.
Free spins: A bonus round of spins that cost nothing, usually on richer reels. A retrigger adds more.
Multiplier: Multiplies a win, often growing during cascades or free spins.
Volatility: How wins are spread out. Low volatility pays small and often; high volatility pays less often but bigger.
