Online Slots Overview

slot machines in a casinoOnline 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

Top Slot Games to Play

hand pulling the lever on a slot gameOne way to figure out which gambling games to try is to see what everyone else is playing. We have four slots that see more action than all the rest. They’re all 5-reel games.

A Night With Cleo

Our only slot game with mature content is A Night With Cleo, which boasts more than just a chance to see the seductive queen perform a striptease. This is one of the best progressive jackpot slots online. Because the game gets so much action, progressive jackpots are constantly getting triggered. You also get the option of trying to double your payouts through the game’s Double Up feature.

Fast and Sexy

Street racing is front and center in this 5-reel game, which developed a following right after its release. In the game’s introductory clip, you’ll meet your seven-lady race crew; they’re intent on turning your car into a speed demon. The reels are tires that spin with every round. For the times you need a boost – we got NOS.

Golden Gorillas

Deep in the jungle, there’s a gorilla worth its weight in gold. If you can find it, you will get up to 50 free spins. Meanwhile, another gorilla acts as an expanding wild, busting through the reels to create more winning lines. This game is jam-packed with primates looking to boost your bankroll. But it’s not the only jungle creature lurking on the reels; there’s also a slithering snake that pays up to 150 coins.

Reign of Gnomes

For a 3D delight, try playing Reign of Gnomes. Slot players are loving the visuals of this game. This adventure-fantasy slot game takes you to a grand palace that borders a stunning seaside village. As you spin the reels, characters pop out of them, acting out parts of the story. Land three or more Dragon Egg scatters, and you’ll get to play one of the most elaborate bonus features available: the Golden Wheel Bonus.

Hot Drop Jackpots

This exciting feature—new to the US market—is taking Ignition by storm. Our players love it. Hot Drop Jackpots have more jackpots dropping than ever before on some of our top slots.

Hot Drop Jackpots takes what players want in a slot: the ability to win big with one lucky spin, and makes that happen at least 25 times per day. Spin for Hourly, Daily and Epic must-win jackpots. These progressives start off at a certain amount, and as their time limit or max amount approaches, get red hot until they are claimed. The odds that they’ll be won go up substantially as the deadline approaches, making this a fun way to play. You can actually see the jackpots coming!

Play Slots Online for Free

One great advantage to playing slots online is the Practice Play mode that’s included in all games. After you narrow down a game, you’ll be prompted to launch it in Real Play or Practice Play mode. Go for the latter to play free online slots. If you decide you like the game and want to play for real money, switch over to Real Play mode.

Bankroll Management and Payouts

money on casino table with chips and diceBefore 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.
