Breaking Down the Different Types of Online Slot Machines

Here’s the lowdown on online slots; if we started categorizing every type of slot machine there is, you’d be here all day!

The truth is, there is a wide range of machines available online, all designed to attract every type of gambler around. With hundreds of variations and types, single lines to 3 lines, 3 reels to 5 reels, progressives and bonus games to name a few!

So instead, we’ll discuss the characteristics that allow us to differentiate between each type of slot machine, all of which you can play at KB99Bet!

Characteristics of Different Online Slot Machines

- Reels

Slot machines usually have 3 reels but the number can extend to 5. With the former taking inspiration from machines of the olden days, the 5-reel counterparts are actually much more common now, and feature more than the singular payline.

- Rows

There are typically more than two horizontal rows on each reel. Some rows even have extra rows above and below the payout display, indicating how narrow the margin was for the player if they miss a win.

- Payline

With each slot machine, there can be more than one payline across the reels. In fact, ranging from 3, 5, and 9 all the way to 20, you’ll see a number of lines displayed. To win though, you’ll need specific symbols to fall on the central horizontal line.

With a classic 3-reel machine, you only have one payline. You are allowed to bet more than one coin for each spin, but keep in mind that only the central line will pay, so there’s no point in increasing your bets.

But for slots with more than one payline, you can choose to increase your bet for each payline, though that doesn’t often work. In the end, it’s up to you.

- Maximum Bet

On classic slot machine systems, you’re allowed to bet three coins, but you may come across some that only accept two coins at most. But then again, with video slots having changed the maximum number so dramatically, you won’t have any trouble (especially with multi-line slots) accepting 10 coins for each line.
