Different Types of Mobile Slots
If you didn’t yet know, slots games can now be played on mobile phones for real money. There are many different kinds of mobile slots games available for you to play, and in this articles we’re going to take a quick look at the different types.
In the past each country in the world would design their own slightly different slots game to enable its own slots machine manufacturing industry to have an advantage over foreign competitors. Thanks to this tradition we are left with many different styles of slots – including pubs, online, and mobile slots. This sounds very confusing but don’t worry — it can be broken down into two simple categories. The main differences are in two basic areas: reels and winlines.
5 reelers
This is your classic Las Vegas style high roller. It pays a multiple of your chosen stake and offers advantages if you stake more per spin, i.e., you can only win the million pound Linked Jackpot if you are playing with maximum stake. 5 reelers can have several between 9 and 27 winlines, but don’t worry if you get a win the winline will highlight and bank it automatically. All wins on the Las Vegas style machines pay from left to right and all start on reel A (unless you have a floating win). Interestingly, in Australia wins are paid from left to right and right to left. An example of a 5 reel mobile slot would be mSlot’s Casino Viper. 5 reelers feature games are usually not that complicated and take the form of a pick-a-win.
3 reelers
These are most popular in Europe and you are most likely to find them in your local pub. 3 reel slots, including mobile slots, usually have a single payline but may also have as many as 5 . The 5 winline games can be multi-stake (1 coin, 2 coin, 3 coin). 3 reelers also have more complex feature games with feature entries consisting of 27 way (anywhere in view) or single line (3 feature entry symbols) on the winline. The third popular feature entry is via a 1 to 8 trail. Features come in all shapes and sizes: Lapper, a trail that wraps around until you collect or lose. A Trail, has a beginning and an end. Pots, where you must knock out features or cash until you collect of lose.
So there you have a brief description of your basic slots game. All variations can be found on your mobile phone, too!
