Kick it classic and discover why 3-reel slots have captivated for over 130+ years. Discover the online 3 reel slots from some of the top providers worldwide.

History of Slots

Since the 1890s, slot machines have been a staple of entertainment with the 3-reel slot being where it all started. Beginning with physical mechanical slots, these machines featured 3 reels and 5 potential paylines with the goal being to successfully match 3 symbols to win. Original machines featured a lever that would be pulled to start the action which coined the nickname “The One-Armed Bandit”. 

Fast forward to today and the spirit of 3-reel slots still goes strong from some of the most recognisable names in online slots. Modernised for the current-day player, these online slots honour the classics with the 3 reel and 5 payline style with all of the iconic symbols including fruits, 7s, and the famous Liberty Bell. Online 3-reel slots further upgrade the retro experience with some modern twists including sharp visual graphics, exciting bonus games, and brand new ways to enjoy the action on all of your favourite mobile devices.

FAQ


Are 3-reel slots better?

3-reel slots have no advantage over other styles of slot and are very much dependent on what you enjoy. Each slot brings its own unique features to spice up the game so shop around and find the slots that fit your play best.

5 reel slots expand on the action with 2 additional reels and an expanded number of available paylines. 5 reel slots still allow for wins to be achieved with 3 symbols but upgrade the maximum available symbol matches to 5 for the highest symbol wins.
