ONLINE SLOTS OVERVIEW
Online slots can be divided into two categories: 5-reel and 3-reel slots. In general, the 5-reel slots have more elaborate storylines, and the 3-reel slots are more traditional and straightforward. To determine which one’s for you, ask yourself what you want out of an online slot session: a traditional and simple casino experience, or an adventure into a themed world? Ignition not only offers a wide range of slot games, but also full casino experience! Be sure to check out the online casino section, for even more gaming options and excitement.
THREE REELS QUICK, SATISFYING ACTION

If you prefer to keep the online slot experience as close to the traditional slot machine as possible, the 3-reel games are your best bet. With one to three paylines, these slots are easy to follow. And just because these variants don’t have the elaborate themes of their 5-reel counterparts, doesn’t mean they don’t have themes at all. Here are a few of the themes you’ll find in the 3-reel section of our slots casino as well as an example of a game that encompasses the theme:
- Traditional Slot: Five Times Wins
- Fable: Chicken Little
- Seasonal/Holiday: Snow Wonder
- Desert/Western: Crazy Camel Cash
- Space: Diamond Dazzle
- Food: Fantastic Fruit
- Fire: Firestorm 7
- Quirky: Milk the Cash Cow
- Sports: Global Cup Soccer
- Tropical: Surf Paradise
- European Destinations: Red, White & Bleu
With most of the 3-reel slots, there’s a paytable that’s always visible, so you can see how much you get from each winning line. Many games also contain a wild symbol, which can take the form of any icon when needed to complete a winning line.
FIVE REEL STORYLINES
The 5-reel slots have more capacity for varied bonus features and engaging storylines. Paylines range from 8 to 50, with some games offering the popular any-way-pays format. That means you get paid when matching icons land anywhere on consecutive reels (starting with the leftmost reel); they don’t need to form a line. There is a lot of variety with themes, as you’ll see from the list below.
- Fable: Reign of Gnomes
- Street Racing: Fast & Sexy
- Asian Travel Destinations: 8 Lucky Charms
- Historical: Caesar’s Triumph
- Greek mythology: Ares

BANKROLL MANAGEMENT AND PAYOUTS
Before you dive into the slots action, make sure you’ve got your bases covered.Take a moment to implement bankroll management into your session. Think of it like a budget for online slots play.
Start off by deciding how much money you want to dedicate to your session, and then divide that amount into units per spin. The size of your units will depend on how long you want to play for. Long sessions require smaller units; $5 and under should work. However, if you prefer your sessions short and sweet, you can go with bigger units. Determine how many spins you’ll get by dividing the money you intend to spend by the unit. For example, a $300 session divided by $2.50 units, would give you 120 spins.
At the end of your 120 spins, it’s time to exit the game. Check your balance to see if the payouts you triggered made you money. If not, don’t get tempted to chase losses. Enjoy the session for what it was: entertainment. You can always play again the next time you want to go on a slot adventure. We’re open 24/7.
