5 Reel Slots at LeoVegas
How to Play 5 reel slots
With 100% certainty, the most popular slots in our LeoVegas Casino are the 5 reeled games. These are video slots with 5 reels - which are the vertical columns that house winning symbols, that spin around until they stop for hopefully a sweet payday!
These video slots are the mainstay of slot play these days, as their ability to pack in symbols, bonuses, special features and winning potential surpasses any classic reel of the Golden Nugget era. It’s a whole new world of animation, HD quality, and storyline immersion!
Playing 5 reel video slots is really no different than a classic 3 reel game, they simply offer more winning opportunities. To get started, set your wager per spin using the intuitive controls at the base of each game interface and hit the largest button you see. That’s your spin button. It will get those reels whirling and hopefully start reeling in your way.
5 Reel Slots Features
The beauty of 5 reel slots is that they can really pack a video slot punch. With 5 reels to play on, there’s a myriad of immersive, innovative and extremely entertaining options. Mainstays these days on 5 reel slots are Wilds, Sticky Wilds, Nudges, and Cascading, Tumbling or Avalanche reels that continue to drop symbols down for more winning combinations, all from a single spin. Here are a few more of the 5 reel slot best attributes:
Bonus Features - The storyline of slots, themes, and tales told on the reels is expansive! And what helps immerse the players in these stories is often the bonus features. These side games can be triggered by bonus symbols, scatters or wilds and launch a mini storyline. Usually short, but highly immersive rounds that often feature the biggest winning opportunities of the game.
Multiple paylines - 5 reel video slots have limited restrictions to what can happen on the reels. Multiple paylines give more winning opportunities with matching symbols that aren’t limited to simply across a single pay line. No sirree, some 5 reel slots in our lobby host plenty of paylines, peaking with MEGAWAYS, a feature mechanism that offers over 117,649 ways to win!
Wild Symbol - Wild symbol substitutes normal symbols in slot machines and is quite common in slot machines. They help to form a winning combination when players do not have enough regular symbols on the grid.
Scatter Symbol - Scatter symbols usually trigger free spins mode or other bonus round features.
Progressive jackpots - These can grow to epic proportions, well into the multi-millions. And they do so simply by taking a small percentage of each and every single spin wager. It’s not a noticeable value difference when playing, but it sure adds up to some mega life-changing cash prizes!
