Overview

Now call me boring, but I've never been a great fan of 3-reel vegas style slot games. Give me the video slots any day of the week. But that said, I have to admit, the online casinos seem to churn them out month after month and to be fair the odd one crops up that gets me interested. I guess the major difference, aside from the number of reels and paylines obviously, is that the "3-reelers" tend to give you far more bang for your buck and generally require a less hefty bankroll if you're looking for a faster, though often smaller, profit than the video slots provide.

Back in the "old days" of online gaming, we had somewhat basic offerings such as Fantastic 7's and the rather long-in-the-tooth Flying Ace slot. Even today we see a lot of clones of these but some are now starting to come with a twist: take the Megaspin Fantastic 7's offering where you play 10 games simultaneously. Or the newer "bonus round" 3 reel slot designed to keep you interested. Examples here include Sizzling Scorpions where every now and again you enter a scorpion race for extra cash, or the recognisable format of the Spectacular Wheel Of Wealth where, surprise surprise, you get a wheel of wealth to spin every now and again awarding random prizes depending on it's mood. But while these add a little more pleasure to the online slots experience, it doesn't stop the 3 reel slots from getting a little tiresome after a while and for me personally, if I'm going to play a 3-reel casino slot, then it might as well be one of the Progressive Jackpot slots with a decent jackpot to hit!

If I'm going to dabble on these vegas style 3 reel slots, it tends to be with the ones offering a bonus feature or the megaspin variety. The Megaspin High 5 slot is another in the series, and of course it comes in the single spin variety if you prefer. I've seen some good wins from the single-spin slots such as Jurassic Jackpot and Jackpot Express but mainly from other players, and I know they have their fans out there. The aforementioned slots all appear on the Microgaming software platform which is tops for graphics, but obviously these vegas style slots also crop up at the other casinos, though perhaps not with quite the same panache. I know that slots such as Lovebugs on the Crypto platform have their moments, but they are just not quite the same.

Still despite all this, the vegas style slot remains popular at online casinos and additionally, the expected payouts do generally exceed those of the land-based casinos so it's not all bad. Add to the fact that wins on this style of slot seem to be more regular than on the fancier bonus slots, and all said and done, there is still some good entertainment value to be had. More power to them!
