What Are Slot Games and How Do They Work?

Slot games are a type of gambling machine that feature several reels containing different symbols. The reels will spin to land on randomly generated combinations, some of which could see you receive some fantastic cash payouts. Each game has a determined number of paylines that players can land winning clusters of symbols across. Reels are a primary aspect of any slot. Every slot game online has its own reel structure and can feature anywhere between 3 or more reels for you to play with.

The more modern online slot games tend to feature more reels, huge numbers of paylines and bundles of bonuses. Expect to find features such as free spins, the option to gamble and huge multipliers. For an increased chance of winning, look to land bonus symbols across the reels such as Scatters, Wilds and more!

What Are The Most Popular Types of Slots at 21.co.uk

As online slots have evolved with the times, many different types of mobile slots have emerged onto the scene and some have seized a fantastic level of popularity amongst players here at 21.co.uk, offering up a variety of both modern features and nostalgic gameplay that panders to every preference:

Popular Online Slot Types: Megaways slot

Megaways slots are one of the most innovative types of modern slot machines we’ve introduced to our online collection, presenting players with up to a colossal 117,649 possible ways to land a win each time you spin the reels. Not only that - you can expect a bundle of bonus features waiting to be discovered. One of our favourite Megaways titles is the fabulous 88 Fortunes Megaways which transports players back to the luxe 88 Fortunes setting where Far East fortunes of up to 10,000x could be waiting.

Other notable mentions are Deal or No Deal Megaways, and of course the legendary Rainbow Riches Megaways.

Popular Online Slot Types: Arcadic Fruit Machines

Following on from the popularity they formed in public houses and seaside arcades, fruit-themed slot machines have become solid staples of both land-based and online casinos which makes them some of the most recognisable slot games regardless of whether you’re a slot newbie or veteran player. Adorned with arguably the most distinguishable symbols in the business, such as cherries, bells, 7s and bars, Arcade Fruit Machines stand as some of the most iconic and popular slots of all time - some of our favourites include the likes of 7s On Fire and Mystery Reels Megaways.

Popular Online Slot Types: Mobile Slots

A number of online slots in the modern day are created for handheld devices such as mobiles and tablets. You can find out all the need to know information surrounding these slots by checking out our mobile slots. Why have providers started prioritising these players, we hear you ask? Well, 68% of 21.co.uk players in 2020 played on a mobile device and over 17% of our players have played a game of Roulette on mobile. That means just 32% of sessions are not played on a mobile device, so if a game isn’t suitable and up-to-date for mobile players, providers miss out on up to 68% of their potential revenue for the game. 65% of Mobile players also return to play the same game multiple times, meaning that if a slot leaves a good first impression, mobile players are statistically likely to return to the game.

Popular Online Slot Types: Cluster Win Slots

Cluster slots have become one of the latest crazes to take over the online slots world with titles such as the intergalactic Reactoonz and fruity Jammin’ Jars. Similar to regular online slots, the idea is to match as many symbols as possible. Often in cluster slots, there’s a lot of symbols on the reels and gaining as many as you can together in a “cluster” often leads to bigger wins. They also take an aspect of cascading slots because as symbols are matched and disappear, more symbols fall in, giving you another chance to get even more cluster wins.

Popular Online Slot Types: Cascading Reel Slots

Cascading Reels slots (also known as Tumbling Reels) offer up another extremely innovative, modern feature that boosts the payout potential of online slot games significantly. Land multiple wins from a single spin, as each time a winning cluster is formed, the Cascading Reels feature works to remove all of the symbols involved in the win and allows fresh symbols to fall into their place. This will continue to occur until no more winning combinations can be made. We have numerous slots that include the Cascading Reels feature, with some of the most popular being Bonanza Megaways.

Popular UK Online Slot Types: Jackpot Slots

Jackpot prizes are a welcome addition to any slot game, which is why we provide an incredible range of epic Jackpot Slots at 21.co.uk. Blueprint brings you a range of progressive prizes like Genie Jackpots. Many of their slots feature the Jackpot King Progressive, which slot veterans are bound to have heard of. For those that haven't, the Jackpot King is a progressive jackpot in which 0.86% of each stake placed on the jackpot slot in play will be added to a progressive pot. The jackpot prize, therefore, increases with each spin of the reels, until it is randomly triggered. Once active, you'll spin the reels for golden crowns before making your way up the cash trail towards the Wheel King. Spin this wheel to see if you've won a huge multiplier or the Jackpot King itself. Looking for an online slot that's plugged into the promotional pot? Check out, just to name a few. Want to know about these exciting slots? We've put together an extensive guide answering one of the most asked questions, What is a Progressive Jackpot?

What New Online Slots Can I Play at 21.co.uk?

In April 2021, we had dozens of new online slots added to our library, including releases from Blueprint Gaming, Red Tiger and more, so if you’ve got one provider that is particularly your favourite, check out their newest game. We’ve narrowed down our fantastic slots to the three best of our releases and you can find them below.

East Coast Vs West Coast is a highly unique online slot by Nolimit City. The slot takes you into the battle that saw America implode during the ‘90s. East Coast Vs West Coast, what side are you on? Pick the winning side of this hip-hop battle that includes lowriders, boomboxes and graffiti. Will you change America forever?

What the Fox Megaways is a slot that may be nostalgic for fans of ‘Ylvis’ or generally anyone who listened to UK radio stations in 2013. However, Red Tiger’s slot doesn’t quite follow the same route as the song, as this fox sets out to take over Las Vegas by dominating the slot reels and embracing the atmosphere. It wouldn’t be a Vegas-themed slot without a large potential payout either, so if you’re looking for Jackpot standard wins, What the Fox Megaways could be what you’re looking for.

UK Online Slots F. A. Q.

What is the difference between online slots and fruit machines?

Despite many players assuming they’re the same, there are actually multiple notable differences between online slots and traditional fruit machines. Whilst it’s not fully untrue that fruit machines and online slot games share similarities, the reality is that they are simply just one of many variations of slot machines available both in online and offline environments. Online slots usually offer a varied number of paylines, reels and theme-fitting symbols that players can use to land some potentially valuable wins. Fruit machines tend to have 3 reels (4 or 5 reels on occasion) and only a single payline for players to land winning combinations across - they usually offer a much smaller payout potential. That doesn’t mean fruit machines can’t be valuable as there are still big wins to be had. In the modern age of slots, fruit style machines are becoming increasingly complex like their counterparts, to add additional bonuses and ways to win.

Can I trick a slot game?

The short answer is no. Despite plenty of speculation, slots are completely random and run on randomly generated outcomes so there is no way to trick slots online into giving you a guaranteed win. Each spin is individual to the last, meaning any player can win, or lose, on any spin despite the previous outcome. Does that mean you can win 3 times in a row? Yes, but you can also lose just as many times.

How do I win playing online slots?

Different slots have different ways to win. Generally, to score a win when playing online slots, all you have to do is land a winning combination of symbols across a payline. The number of and shapes of paylines can vary. Keep an eye on wild symbols appearing as they can help increase your winning potential.

What traditional slot machines are on 21.co.uk

Here at 21.co.uk, we’ve inducted several different traditional slot machines over the years, in an attempt to help bridge that gap for players who are used to playing land-based slot games but looking to make a move over to the world of online slots. It also allows us to provide slots suitable to those of you who fancy a little bit of nostalgic gameplay from time to time.
