Reels

After seeing so many folks having such good luck on reels, I am coming to the experts. Over the years I have spent very little time on reels. I have always been fascinated with the video slots because they keep me entertained. I have self diagnosed myself with ADD, so when I have played reels it seems like my mind wanders.

My upcoming trip in May I am wanting to focus some time on reels. I want input from the experts on ones that I should try playing. Keep in mind my bet sizes are .50 - 2.00, so no HL reels for me. On of the most recent ones I played I am not sure of the name. It just had x3 x4 x5 all over it. I do not know, this may be on many different reels. I know that there are single line and multi line reels. What are the advantages to each? Do the single line ones pay better if you hit? Do you find some more entertaining than others?

I appreciate your feedback! I want to do some research via YouTube, etc.

3x4x5x is a great reel to play lots of fun and hits can be real good.
double gold is also another favorite as well as wild bluebells or wild cherries.



i love the 3x4x5x diamonds that is $2 max bet and 40 lines, you get almost a win every spin and usually get majority of $ back if not more 50-100 can last a long time!

Thanks, Derek. I have seen that one. And thanks for mentioning it is by the Roasted Bean!

At CET properties in Vegas I like to play the dollar machines - two credit machines. At CP = I do well on the triple strike machine. They have a couple of them. Even if they are 3 credits - I usually play 2 credits.

I also like the double gold dollar and the triple ice machines. Also the triple flag seven (not sure the name but it was like the one that DarrellK got his handpay on last week)
Also the Triple Cash Machine and the triple diamond.

@zeus I would suggest playing the $1 denomination (single payline) basic Double Diamond slot. I would start by playing 1 credit ($1) at a time to see how the machine is reacting. Top prizes are: ($800 for 1 credit played) & ($1,600 for 2 credits played). The top prize on this game hits on average about once every 8,000 spins (theoretically) which gives you the best odds out of all the 3 reel games. If you want to low-roll this is what I would suggest : )

I also like the 9-line/5 column double-diamond and 5-line Super Free games reels b/c they have free game bonuses. I've seen 25 cent denominations for both at Aria, so it'd be $1.25-$2.25/spin

I knew I was asking this question to the right people. I have got somewhere to start my research. Thanks so much for your input! I know that there will be more, so I may be busy for the next 7 weeks. Thanks again everyone!

Sassycat, since I am staying at CP, are the triple strike machines single line?

@sassycat, why do you only pay $2 instead of $3? What's your reasoning?

@Blase it could be a money management strategy to stretch bankroll or it could be the payouts are more frequent when you are not max betting. For me it is a combination of the two. The machine might get hot enough to warrant the max bet on the span of 10 spins but not justifiable for the long haul. @zeus as a Reel HP winner this is my opinion & I hope this benefits you on your trip to Vegas. Good Luck Buddy !

I've been playing a lot of $1 reels lately with okay wins. Did play a $5 last night and wound up $600 ahead, for a while,lol.

I like the Old School Triple Diamond, Double Gold, Pink Diamond. And, although I don't usually do very well on it, I see a lot of people do well on Double Diamond-Plus, as mentioned before, there is no penalty on that machine for not betting max credits. Not many of those around any longer.

Since I am the king of low-rolling, my strategy is always test the waters by starting off low and upping it if it seems to be wanting to play. Thanks so much for all of the stats too!

Yay, a reel with a free game bonus! That is right up my alley. Thanks, Dina!

Darrell, I have never had a HP :Cry:, and it is probably due to the games I play and the level of bets that I feel most comfortable with, but you can bet your bottom dollar that when the day comes you will all be seeing my mug on here! Thanks, buddy!

Thank you for your input! The list of reels for me to check out keeps growing and growing. I am going to have to make a list on my phone because I will get to Vegas and be like "What were the reels everyone told me to try?" Thanks again!

Hi Zeus. $1 Blazing, and Sizzling 7s. BUT, you should be playing 3 coins, 2 coins pays only 1/2 what 3 coins pays. NEVER play one as there is NO pay for any 7s, just bars.

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to slots so I'll give you a contrarian view. I think traditional 3 reels are a little more volatile than normal video slots. Most video slots will give you back fractional wins on many spins. Many .50 cent spins on videos will give you back a nickel, dime, quarter, etc whereas most 3 reels will give you back at least your bet amount on a win. So You can expect bigger bankroll swings on reels than video slots, you may win big or you may go home early.

The only thing I would caution you on with the reels is to look at the pay table. when I first started playing slots I enjoyed playing sizzling 7s. I always play max on reels but my friends said you don't have to. Well, my first spin I did 1 coin, I was happy it hit Triple 7, thinking I would get $250 instead of $500 which was max. Well damn, this machine paid nothing for 7s unless you were playing 2 coins. Sucky lesson to learn but I never forgot about it lol.

There are a lot of machines you would get at least half but not all so just be careful and good luck :stung:

Well I can see I am really going to have to do my homework. Thanks again everyone!

Yes - all the dollar machines that I like are single line. Good luck!!

@zeus I would also like to say that I have played all kinds of slots in the past 20+ years. I have 4 HP on Reels & 4 HP on Videos & I noticed a common denominator each time. For me I would get a mid-level hit followed by a bunch of smaller hits then boomshakalaka the HP. Wednesday night I received 3 mixed sevens for $80 then about 10 spins later the HP.
To quote my slotting mentor " NEVER LEAVE A HOT MACHINE - PLACE A VIRTUAL TENT AROUND IT "
Only leave that machine when you are convinced it is Cold.
When I am trying random reel machines I will give it 10 spins. If I get zero return on those 10 spins I move to a different machine cause it ain't happening there. Try 10 spins & assuming you win something then try 5 spins. If you win something then try 5 more spins. If you win something mid-level on the pay table keep playing as you could be about to get a HP.
All I know is that it happened that way for me all 4 times on reels. I hope this makes sense to you Don. Best of luck to you and Allen & I will be looking forward to your first HP pic .

LOL - I am weird that way Blase. I only play one credit on a $5 machine too. I think I do it because it slows me down and I can't play as fast (or lose money as fast).

Thanks, buddy! Yes, it makes complete sense because it sounds like you and I are a lot alike. I use the 10 spin strategy all of the time on slots I am not familiar with.

I like pretty much the same type games.....love the two credit machines. I also like the nickel denoms like dvandentop posted but mostly for earning tier credits. Money seems to last longer and I can usually walk away even or ahead.

I like Triple Double Gold Dubloon and vary playing 1,2 or 3 credits. I also like Top Dollar and Pinball.​

I don't play a lot of reels for the same reasons as you, Zeus. They just get boring fast. But my biggest hand pay was on quarter Quick Hit reels at Paris. Max bet was $1.25 and it had a progressive of $5000 if you got all 9 Quick Hits. Well, I got all 9 Quick Hits but it was in a bonus so it paid $10,000. I am still amazed by that!

I have played many, many times since and of course never managed that feat again, but I have had some positive sessions. The possibility of hitting a bonus keeps it more interesting, and the potential is there for a handpay. Just be careful because some of them are set up for 9 lines instead of 5, and I know at Palazzo you can bet like 45 quarters - Um No Thank you!

I wouldn't invest a ton in these, but it might be worth a shot and they had a bank of them at Caesars last time I was there (which was awhile ago).

Wow! That's all I''ve got. Thanks for the information and safe travels to you!

@zeus I'm a bit of a reel ignoramus myself, but interested in experimenting -- so thanks for starting this thread! Maybe I'll try some of these out on the Strip Stumble...

Please report back and let me know how it goes. Good luck to you and have a great time with everyone!

I am going to suggest looking at $2 machines, playing one credit or $2 a spin. I have had really good luck on $2 machines in Vegas. That's my two cents worth!

Good luck with the reels Zeus!

I used to allot $500 to mess around with $10 & $25 reels in the HL room off-Strip, every visit, and never hit a thing LOL

The only reel slot I play now - I'll run $100 through Megabucks if it's in the casino.

I could not even imagine trying slots at that level. Not even after 6 margaritas. Allen calls me cheap, I call it being conservative. HHH

Agree with Cassie about Triple Double Gold Buffoon (hit my handpay last weekend on it) and also with Bluesfan on a $2 machine - maybe playing one credit at a time.

How much do you usually play on your penny machines at a time?

Thanks, sassycat! It really depends on how my day is going. If I am doing good I will run .80- 2.00 a spin. If I cannot hit a thing, then I am back to my .40-.50 spins. It is just my comfort level.

Remember in KC when I sat with you because I wanted time to get to finally meet you and I was playing that reel? I was clueless of what the slot was doing! But the time with you was so worth it. [emoji2] After we got home today I took my list of recommendations and have been reviewing a bunch of videos of these slots. I am still not sure about these one line reels. Maybe I am just overthinking this and need to wait until I get to Vegas.

You have plenty of time. Just play what you feel comfortable with.

I did enjoy visiting with you in KC and thanks for sitting there and playing by me. It was really nice.
