Reel Slots

The majority of online slot machines have reels with symbols on them that spin. The number of reels can vary according to the slot game:

• The games with 3 reels are generally based on the classic Fruit Machines, with a small number of symbols and paylines. They often have no bonus rounds or extra features, they are very simple to play and understand.

• The slot games with 5 reels have a larger number of paylines and symbols including Wild and Scatters and features/bonus rounds. Sometimes 5 reel slots have the option of adding an additional reel for an extra bet amount.

• Games with 6 reels or more are not common in slots games. However, software providers has developed slot games with additional reels where you can create additional winning combinations. That is not to say that this means that there are greater or lesser chances to win.

Free Slots with Paylines

All online slots come with a variety of paylines, the range of which is vast. A payline is a line that runs through all the reels usually the left to right and sometimes from left to right and right to left. Paylines may zig-zag along the reels or take the form of a pattern on the reels. When identical symbols land on neighbouring reels along one of these paylines, they will create a winning combination. Paylines can be fixed, which means that they will always be active, or adjustable, so you can select as few or many as you wish. Use our range of free slots and vary the number of paylines to help you decide the most suitable number of paylines for your budget, before you play for real money at an online casino. 

• There are slots with 10 or more paylines which provides the potential for a great number of winning combinations, or winning 'combos'. Winnings with this type of game can be relatively frequent.

• Slots with under 10 paylines provide numerous winning combinations but relatively less than fruit machines that more paylines. The good news here is that payouts are correspondingly higher, albeit somewhat less frequent.

Free Falling Slots

Another way that slot game developers have tried to make the gameplay different is to use Free Falls instead of reels, using variations on the number of symbols that appear on each reel or having symbols that can be normal, half or double size. This increases the number of winning combinations that can be created and a good example of is Spinata Grande by NetEnt. Instead of having reels that spin, the symbols will drop onto the screen from the top and when winning combinations are created the symbols involved will explode and the symbols above them will drop down to fill the spaces, potentially creating additional combinations just as in Gonzo´s Quest by NetEnt.

Ways to Win at Slots

As well as paylines, another way that games create winning combinations is by using "ways to win" instead of the traditional paylines. There are slots that have 243 ways to win and others that have 720, 1,024 and an amazing 4,096 ways to create winning combinations.

The number of ways is calculated by multiplying the number of symbols on each reel, so if you have a 5 reel slot with 4 symbols on each then the sum would be 4x4x4x4x4 = 1,024 ways to win, a 6 reel slot with 4 symbols on each would be 4x4x4x4x4x4 = 4,096. The slot games that have 720 ways to win have an unusual reel layout, the left and rightmost reels usually have 3 symbols on them, the 2nd and 4th reels have 4 symbols on them and the middle reel has 5 symbols on it, so the sum would be 3x4x5x4x3 = 720. Identical symbols have to land on adjacent reels but they do not have to be next to each other. Some games with different ways to win are Buffalo Blitz by Playtech which has 4,096 ways and Rambo by iSoftBet that has 720 ways to win.

Cluster Slots

Slot developers are always inventing new games to make the gameplay more diverse and winning clusters are one of these creations. Instead of symbols having to land along an active payline or land in a certain way (as described above) they can create combinations if they land in clusters. The cluster is created when identical symbols are adjacent to each other, some games need a minimum of 9 to create a winning combination, such as Aloha Cluster Pays by NetEnt and others only need 5 or more like in Beehive Bedlam Reactors by Core Technologies.

3D Online Slots

3D slots with 3D action but without the need to wear special 3D glasses to play. They have crystal clear animations and give a true and fully immersive gaming experience. Some of the best producers of 3D slots are Betsoft and NetEnt and you can find games such as Dracula, Gonzo´s Quest and Neon Staxx in our games lists.

New Online Slots

New slot games are being produced all the time as developers and newcomers to the market do their utmost to capture the imagination of their fans. Stay tuned to NeonSlots.com and we'll keep you updated with new free slot games for you to play to your heart's content.

Video Slots

Online video slots do not rely on physical reels. A TV-like screen allows the game to use animation which may mimic traditional reels or present cartoon imagery or real life videos for the game, as is often the case in risk games which include characters related to the overall theme of the game. These days in the UK, the terms video slot and slot machine are most often used synonymously together with fruit machine and less commonly, bandit.

Jackpot Slots

Many online slots and fruit machines offer an attractive jackpot. A jackpot is a fund generated from contributions made from bets placed on a particular game, generally generated from a percentage of these wagers. This money accumulates and will be paid out as the jackpot to the player who produces a given winning combination, usually the highest value combination in the game as stated in the games general rules or in its terms and conditions.

Classic Slots

Classic Slots use 3 reels and have from one to three paylines. They are generally themed to fruit and use symbols of grapes, plums, lemons, oranges, watermelons, cherries, stars, bells and bars. The gameplay is very simple and often a winning combination can be made created if 1 or 2 identical symbols appear along a payline. The paytable is usually located on the main screen and there are no bonus or free spins rounds. Slightly newer classic slots often featured nudge and hold features and would have up to 5 paylines. The nudge enables players to nudge the reels a number of times to bring symbols to the paylines and the hold lets the player freeze certain reels so only the remaining reels would spin, both of these features give players an additional chance to create a winning combo and were the precursors to the many different bonus features you can find on modern slots.

How to Play Slot Machine Games

How to play and bet on slot machines is easy. Traditional slots on three reels provide wins and prizes by getting three matching symbols in a row horizontally. NeonSlots.com presents a number of classic slots online which work on this general principle. Slots with more reels generally have more paylines and with these additional paylines, software developers can create games with more winning combinations. The paylines can run from left to right or vice versa, they can also zig-zag across the reels or run diagonally. NeonSlots provides detailed information on how to play each slot game so that you can practice and acquire new skills.

The bonus round is a common feature of most online slots which may take place on a seperate screen. These rounds may offer additional free spins and monetary rewards, including the chance to double or quadruple your winnings. 

Slots Online - How to win

Would you like to know more about tips when playing slots? Many players swear by tricks and strategies that 'help them win' when playing online slots. There is a belief that some jackpot games will make big payouts at certain times of day, or that they are more likely to do so for example once it has reached a certain amount. Some players consider betting on more or less paylines per spins depending on which game they happen to be playing. Information on all of these subjects and more is provided here by our team at NeonSlots.com.

There are some myths about online slots that our team of online slot mythbusters are only too happy to dispel. Myths such as slot machines go cold or tight after a jackpot, in the sense that they stop paying out; or the one about 3 reel fruit machines paying out more than 5 reel slot machines. In all cases, the result of each spin at an online casino is determined by an electronic random number generator and their is the exact same probability, chance and opportunity of winning or losing each and every spin as there always is for each respective game on every spin.

Online Slots Play for Real Money

Once you feel comfortable with the games that you have been playing online for free and you wish to turn those credits into real money then you will need to carefully choose an online casino to register with. Here at NeonSlots we have written detailed online casino reviews that include information such as the licenses that the casino holds, what payment methods they accept and which software developers games are available. You will be able to play online slots with bonuses as each casino has a range of bonuses and promotions, however, before you accept any of them we recommend that you read and understand all of the associated Wagering Requirements.

The advantage of playing slots for real money is that your winnings will be in real money, however, your losses will also be in real money, so it is important to set yourself a limit and stick to it. There is every opportunity that you will be successful and you could even find yourself in the Guiness Book of World Records should you be extremely fortunate to hit one of the major jackpots in an online jackpot slot.

You'll first have to register at your chosen online casino (there's often a quick registration option so you can get playing) and make your first deposit which normally allows you to accept the casino's welcome bonuses and some free spins to get going. After selecting the slot machine you wish to bet on, you will see a bet button and option to change the amount bet. In games with multiple paylines you can also select more paylines per spin, increasing your chances of winning.

Mobile Slot Games

Mobile slot games can run on mobile devices that have Android, iOS, Windows or Blackberry operating systems and on PCs or laptops that have Windows, Linux or MacOS installed. Our PC and mobile slots are available on all of these platforms using Flash Player or HTML5. Software developers are using these new technologies to convert existing games so that they can be played on mobile devices and are also developing new games that use buttons which open pop ups, instead of a control panel. This means that there is more space on the screen for you to watch the spinning reels. To start your favourite game, you do not need to install any additional programmes, just add NeonSlots to your bookmarks in the browser, launch it and enjoy the gameplay. There is no need to download or pay for anything as NeonSlots only has free slot games.
