This game would start a trend of cascading reels slots that&#8217;s still going strong today.<\/p>\n<p>At first, cascading reels (a.k.a. rolling reels) seemed like a cool feature that would be in some games. However, too many slots today are abusing this format.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to discuss this saturation of cascading reels slots. But first, I&#8217;ll cover more on exactly what these games are.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Cascading Reels Slots?<\/h2>\n<p>The first component of rolling reels is that symbols from winning combinations disappear. Meanwhile, icons from above fall into the empty spaces.<\/p>\n<p>All of this happens within the same round. Therefore, you have an opportunity to keep forming more wins during the same spin.<\/p>\n<p>The obvious benefit to these slot machines is that they can offer additional payouts. You can theoretically collect some really large wins if you get on a roll.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Are These Games So Popular?<\/h2>\n<p>Developers continue churning out cascading reels slots for one reason &#8211; they&#8217;re popular. Gonzo&#8217;s Quest proved how popular this format can be.<\/p>\n<p>Other slots providers took notice of how well Gonzo&#8217;s Quest was received. In fact, this game is still popular today.<\/p>\n<p>Developers have produced countless slot machines with this feature. Cascading reels are a huge hit among players due to all the extra wins they can deliver.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Cascading Reels Slots Ever Slow Down?<\/h2>\n<p>Cascading reels slot machines will likely stay popular into the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is still being added into new slots. For example, many of the new Megaways games offer rolling reels.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, cascading reels have become a commonplace feature. You wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see this format added into any new game you play.<\/p>\n<p>As for if cascading reels will ever die out, we can&#8217;t see this happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2010, NetEnt released a revolutionary slot in Gonzo&#8217;s Quest.
