\"3-reel-slots-phased-out\"<\/a>To long-time slots players, it doesn’t seem that long ago when 3 reel games still commanded the majority of the casino floor. Even up until the early 2000s, over half of the games in land-based and online casinos were of the 3 reel variety. But these days, 3 reel games have been greatly reduced in casinos, with video slots taking over. So does this mean that we can eventually expect 3 reel slots to become nearly extinct?<\/p>\n

Still Some Following<\/strong><\/p>\n

While most players favor video slots – which normally feature 5 reels, better graphics, more paylines and bonus rounds – that doesn’t mean 3 reel games are completely irrelevant. In fact, some players commonly request more of these games at casinos.<\/p>\n

This has led some companies like WMS Gaming and International Gaming Technology to continue designing fresh, new games. For example, IGT has created a game called Hot Roulette that uses 3 reel classics such as\u00a0Triple Red Hot 7s and Pink Diamonds; but there’s also an option for an interactive roulette bonus round. As for WMS Gaming, they’re adding many video elements to 3 reel slots such as bonus rounds, high-definition screens and halo-lighting effects.<\/p>\n

Not going Away – Just being Improved<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you can see, some gaming companies are still focusing on 3 reel slot machines. So we shouldn’t expect these games to merely become a relic. Instead, it looks like casinos are more focused on improving these machines and making them relevant to modern technology.<\/p>\n

That said, there’ll be plenty more 3 reel slots made over the coming years. And with the modernization of them, a small crowd of both young and old players will continue demanding these games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
