Which are the Best Red Casino Slots – 3 Reel or 5 Reel?
ExpiredWhen it comes to online slots, our Red Casino is packed with options. Some emulate the one arm bandits of yesteryear. Others are dynamic gaming opportunities with awesome animations. The question is, which version generates the most loot?
Red Stag Casino is in the Business of Entertaining
Hey y’all, there is a lot more to gaming online than dollars and cents. If that is all you are interested in, you’d be better off investing in stuff like renewables, electric vehicles or, heaven forbid, long range weaponry. At Red Casino, our core mission is to provide high-end entertainment.
Now, if you happen to win a bit of cash here and there, that is OK with us. That said, the criteria defining a good, bad or indifferent online casino game is not limited to the payouts. Elements like risk, hit frequency, innovation and creativity count a whole heap too.
As we are focussing on Red Casino slots, more specifically 3 reel slots versus 5 reel slots, here is what you have to take into account. That is before you slip the virtual coin into the virtual coin slot!
Get a Higher Hit Frequency
When it comes to hit frequency in online slots, the reel structure tells a story. Darn tootin’, it does. When there are fewer symbols, columns and reels, the odds of landing a paying combination are greater. What that of course means is 3 reel slots have a higher average hit rate compared to 5 reel slots.
That does not mean you will automatically win more money playing 3 reel slots. Why, you may ask? Well, in generic terms, classic slots may pay out winnings more often. That said, when you play 3 reel slots at Red Stag Casino, you won’t be living’ in high cotton any time soon. That is because the payouts are generally lower than that of the online casino games in the video slots category.
To recap:
- You can win more often playing 3 reel slots at Red Casino
- The value of the payouts won’t necessarily set the world alight
As with most things, there are exceptions. When you sign up and login to Red Stag Casino, you will find we supply a selection of progressive jackpot slots in the 3 reel format. This, of course, shifts the potential value of the slot up quite a few gears.
Real money online casino games like Ultimate 10 x, Pay Dirt II, 7 x Lucky Sevens and Mega Money Mine classic slots offer a small fortune in constantly accumulating cash rather than a hill of beans!
Volatility Expresses High, Medium or Low Risk
Volatility is the same as variance or risk. As we bet ya’ll already know, all online casino games have some level of risk. In the online slots genre, volatility is expressed as low, medium or high. The higher the volatility, the greater the risk – and the more money there potentially is to be won.
The bets with the lowest risk are 50/50 bets. The outside bets in online roulette – red or black, odd or even or high or low – are pretty close to that. So too is a coin toss. There are only two possible outcomes – heads or tails, making it an even 50/50 chance.
When it comes to online slots, it is the symbol count that determines the risk factor. At Red Casino, most of our 3 reel slots have up to six symbols in play. Switch across to the video slots tab and there are 12, 15 or even 20 game symbols to match on the reels.
Here is a quick recap. Due to an increased number of symbols in play, 5 reel slots are more volatile than 3 reel slots. The odds might be a bit more cattywampus with a greater risk – but the rewards are ever so darn sweet!
Find the Online Slots X-Factor at Red Stag Casino
When it comes to entertainment value, video slots take top billing. They feature an infinite array of themes plucked from mythology, literature, history and film.
You can learn about the legend of Horus, be part of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, hunt for lost Mayan treasure and dabble in a bit of black magic – all without leaving the confines of your easy chair.
Graphics are beautifully rendered in high resolution 3D. The reel action is synched with thematic audio. When you play 5 reel video slots at Red Casino, you are transferred to an exotic world. The experience is on a par with the cinema, with one major exception – there is real money to be won!
Classic slots may not display the wizardry of next gen casino game development. That said, they are easy and fun to play. Calculating the winnings is synch. Unlike multiline video slots, you don’t have to divide the payouts by the bet lines to arrive at what you have won.
What have we learnt as regards X-factor? It is a matter of razzle and dazzle versus seamless simplicity in the perennial skirmish between 5 reel and 3 reel online slots!
Exploit Innovative Bonus Features in Red Casino Slots
The last element to keep in mind when choosing online slot games at Red Stag Casino is the added ways to win. These are the bonus features like wilds, scatters, multipliers and free spins.
In the purest form of classic slots, there are no bonus features at all. Winning is strictly about matching symbols across the central payline. That, of course, is a vast generalisation. At Red Casino, there are plenty of bonus slots listed under the 3 reel slots tab.
Games like Cash Grab, Monte Magic and Turkey Time 3 reel slots have wild multipliers that max out a 4 x. They also have a pick me bonus game, some of which deliver eye popping prizes of up to 500 coins!
Mosey on across to the video slots genre and you are sure to be blown right away by the actual gameplay. If you are looking for a quick return on your hard-earned bucks, the 5-reel bonus slots take precedence over our gaming classics. Go on, give our Red Casino bonus slots a spin. You’ll have fun and win ‘til you’re plum tuckered out!
