Online Slots with Different Reels Sets

Generally online slot games offer a single set of reels. This implies that the same symbols appear across the reels spin in and spin out. If players wager for long periods of time then this can get boring, especially if the players are not winning. To overcome this online casino software developers have tried to bring in some innovations.

The free spins bonus provided them with an opportunity. In most online slots there are some visual changes made in the free spins bonus. Usually this is restricted to changing the color of the background in the symbols from light to dark or dark to light. In some video slots games the symbols and the background to the reels are changed from a day scene to a night scene or a summer scene to a winter scene, but the essence of the symbols remains unchanged. A Microgaming online slot titled Moonshine took this concept further. In the main game the lady is shown on a rocking chair holding a double barrel gun. In the free spins the rocking chair has fallen down and the lady is shown drunk. In the main game the policeman is alert and ready. In the free spins he has been tied up by the hooch distillers.

Such tweaking of the symbols does not amount to playing on a different set of reels and alleviates the boredom to an extent only. Playtech launched a landmark branded slot game Kong- The 8th Wonder of the World. This video slot game had two sets of reels in the main game intricately linked to the theme. In the legendary story King Kong was discovered by explorers in the jungles of Skull Island and captured there. The first set of reels in the Kong slot game is the Jungle Mode. The reels are set in the jungle. The high value card symbols are cast in rock. The characters from the movie are in their explorers' clothes. And the animations show the scenes from the movie from the jungle part. King Kong is taken from the jungle to the big city in the story. The slot game moves through a bonus game to the Big City Mode. The reels are set in the city. The high value card symbols are fashioned elegantly as neon signs. The same characters from the movie appear dressed suavely. And the animations show the scenes from the movie from the city part. Though the sets of reels are different there is a one to one correspondence between them.

Rival Gaming, famous for its i-slots, has a title A Switch in Time. This online slots game has three completely different sets of reels depicting different time eras. The common symbol on all three sets is the time machine, which is used to traverse from one era to another. The first set of reels depicts the 19th century with symbols like the pocket watch, the gas lamp, the ornate table clock and the wine bottles. When three time machine symbols appear on the reels players play the bonus game and then enter the prehistoric era. On this set of reels the symbols are the prehistoric beasts and the caveman. The bonus game in this time zone simulates a battle with the T-rex after which players go to the future. The symbols on the set of reels for the future zone are aliens, a radar panel and a spaceship. The bonus game in this set of reels is a robot war, which returns players to the first time period.
