Reels
The reels in a slot are the basis of every playing machine. Without reels there is no game and nothing can be won, so they are essential in every machine. The reels are the elements in the slots that you see turning.
The columns with the icons are the reels.
3-reel slot machines
In this article, we distinguish two major groups of machines. The first of these is the 3-reel. These are slot machines that – as the word suggests – have three reels in them. These are often somewhat easier slot machines, with fewer pay lines and less technical possibilities. Nearly every offline machine, which you find in cafes, is equipped with this. Players of these slots are often limited in their bets, partly because of the lack of pay lines.
The advantage of these kind of machines is that the inexperienced player can quickly learn how these slot work. This is primarily due tp the fact that the rules and pay lines of this slot are almost always directly clear. In contrast, a slot with more reels requires a bit more experience to understand, as you can read below.
5-reel slot machines
The slots with five reels, or rather the 5-reel slots, are more extensive. The advancement of technology and the subsequent development of the video slots have led to the slots advancing technically, thereby becoming more attractive to play. Slots with five reels often have more pay lines, and as a player, you have to pay more attention to see if you’ve won.
The slots with five reels often have nicer graphics, taking the player by the hand in the audiovisual world of the slots.
Conclusion reels
The slot with three reels is simple. Few pay lines, little hodgepodge. So, perfect for the inexperienced player. The five-reel slots, however, are more extensive, require more attention and experience and are more challenging and fun to play, also because of the audiovisual elements in it. While the chances of winning in a 5-reel are higher than in a 3-reel slot, in the latter the gains are larger. All in all, something can be said for both types of slots.
