Despite its origins in the 19th century, the old-fashioned pub slot is alive and well in the online medium. We may call this style of casino game “classic slots” today, but updates in software and related technology benefits the traditional 3-reeler adapted for the internet milieu as much as the flashiest new video slot.
Classic slots are often still bedecked in the typical fruit, lucky 7, BAR and bell symbols but often have a storyline similar to the mythos generated for the classic’s 5-reel counterpart. And video bonus rounds, though nowhere near as ubiquitous as in 5-reel slots, are more and more commonplace to the point of majority in new classic-style slot releases.
Meanwhile, some slot game designers are rediscovering old features still often seen in pub slots such as trail features, nudges, holds, accumulators and this sort. SlotsDirect certainly welcomes back this “innovation” certain to draw players of other games back to a classic.
