While floating around looking for online slots information to share I stumbled across a type of online slots game that I had not heard about before: 9 reel online slots games.
The most reels I have ever heard of on an online slots game before is seven reels, and those can hit your bankroll fairly hard since you need to land seven symbols on the paylines rather than only three or five.
Based on that you would think that I would say that online slots games with nine reels should definitely be avoided. You would think I would say that if seven symbols are hard to land, nine must be next impossible.
Well, you are wrong. Nine reel online slots games are not too bad to play.
This can be owed to their format. The nine reels do not run across the game, nine in a row. Instead they form a cube of three spaces by three spaces, much like the numbers (minus the zero) do on a telephone pad.
When the reels are spin, each of the nine squares spin on their own and stop independently on their own. So while there are not nine vertical spinning reels, there are nine cubes that spin all of the available symbols.
This makes it easier to land symbols on a payline since, because of the cube layout, players only have to land three of the same symbol on a payline.
And speaking of paylines so work a little bit differently too. Again, because of the three by three square layout of the reels, there are not nearly as many paylines as there are on most of the five reel online slots games.
Nine reel online slots games will generally only have up to eight paylines: three horizontal, three vertical and two diagonal. That covers all possible lines of three symbols on the three by three layout of a nine reel online slots game.
