The quality of online slots keeps improving every year and 2011 was no different. The improvement has come both in the audio visual content and in the gaming features. Before coming down to the best five slots games of the year, one point needs to be made. Early this year Rival Gaming had introduced a series of 3D slots and normally one of them would have featured in this list. But Rival Gaming seems to have withdrawn these games from its online casinos and therefore they are not being considered.

At No. 5 is Siberian Storm released by WagerWorks. The reason for selecting Siberian Storm is the MultiWay Xtra Feature, which has an unusual structure. Reels 1 and 5 have three spots, reels 2 and 4 have four spots and reel 3 has five spots. This offers 720 ways to win, which is much more than the usual 243 ways. The free spins feature is also very lucrative.

At No. 4 is Immortal Romance released by Microgaming. It tells a compelling story of four characters interlocked in eerie circumstances. The gaming features include Wild Desire, which can randomly turn up to five reels wild, and Chamber of Spins, which offers four sets of free spins, each dedicated to one of the central characters. Immortal Romance could have moved up had it extended the features of Thunderstruck II on which it is based.

At No. 3 is Kong released by Playtech. It is a branded slot game based on the Universal Studios movie featuring King Kong. It has everything a branded slot should offer including characters and scenes from the movie. Kong toggles between two sets of reels, one set in the jungle and the other in the big city, the two locations in the King Kong saga. Each set of reels has its own thematic bonus game and the switch is made after the bonus game is activated.

At No. 2 is Horns & Halos released by Cryptologic. It has two sets of three reels spinning simultaneously, but the player has to choose one of them for the payouts. One set of reels represents Hell and the other Heaven. The player keeps collecting Gates and when he secures ten of them he is awarded 10 free spins with a multiplier that may increase with each spin. The multiplier increases when there is a fight between the she-devil and angel and the winner is from the chosen set of reels.

At No. 1 is Gold Factory released by Microgaming. Gold Factory does not carry any hype, but is the perfect all round slot game. The conception of a Willie Wonka type gold factory is in itself a stroke of genius. The graphics and animations have to be seen to be believed. The slot game has 50 paylines, a total bet of 100 credits and a top jackpot of 7,500 coins, all of which are attractive. The multi-level bonus game is the icing on the cake.
