Classic Slots

Slots games and slots tournaments 

These are all about casinos and among the attractions in many casinos. There are many types of slot machine games which include the classic slots game, video slots games, progressive slots games and many more. Classic slots are slots machine with 3 reels which is why they are sometimes referred to as three reel slots. They are called classic slots because they are very similar with the Liberty Bell which was the first slots machine. 


The classic slot 

As mentioned has 3 reels with 1 payline. The symbols on the reels are also classics. These are usually bells, cherries, sevens and bars although other symbols can also be used depending on the theme of the slots machine. Some three reel slots also have unique symbols such as a wild symbol, a scatter symbol, bonus game and a wild multiplier symbol. One to three coins can be played per spin. Payments on the classic slot games can be 400, 5000, 10000 and 15000 coins. Progressive slots games can also be played on classic slots but only on maximum bets. 


As mentioned above there are several symbols and players should be familiar with them so that they can understand the game better. Scatter symbols are symbols which are based on the theme of the slots machine. For example if the theme is western, a cowboy hat or a gun can be used as a scatter symbol. Scatter symbols can increase the pay outs because they will multiply the total bet. In order to take advantage of scatter symbols, players should play all the pay lines. Scatter symbols are the only symbols on the reel which cannot be replaced by a wild symbol. 

Another symbol on the slots which plays an important role is the wild symbol. The wild symbol also depends on the theme of the slots machine. It functions in the same way a joker does in a deck of cards. The wild symbol can take the place of any symbol except for the scatter symbol.



The Liberty Bell 

It has three reels with ten symbols each. This means that 1,000 combinations can be made. As the popularity of the game increased, the number of symbols also increased. From 10 symbols it became 20 thus increasing the possible combinations from 1,000 to 8,000. In 1970, the three reel slots machine added two more symbols to the 20 symbols which were normally used during that time. By then the maximum possible combinations totaled to 10,648. During those times, the 10,648 combinations were still not enough for those looking for a big payout. 



Slots machines manufacturers tried adding more wheels but they were not successful at first. These days all types of slots machine can be found but the classic slots machine still remains a popular choice among players. Online three reel slots games are also attractive to many online gamblers.

There are some benefits of playing a three reel slots machine games as compared to other types of slots machines. One is that the possibility of winning is higher because there are less possible combinations as compared to the five and seven reel variations. Aside from that, players can also benefit from up to five pay out lines if their bets are maximum. It is also a good practice for those who are new to the game and those who want to prepare for any slots tournament.
